The Grey Stones


Chapter 1
He slowly walked to the windowpane and knocked on a quite an old glass. He took his spectacles off and tried to gawk through the fainted glass. The grey clouds on the sky initiated him to open the window. The sudden wave of the cold breeze inserted inside his body and shook his soul. He turned back and looked at people sitting on the chairs staring at him with weird expressions on their face. “You are wondering that why I left playing tone without ending it?” said by Saddiq Abassi. Abassi is around sixty years old. He was born in London and has never gone back to the country from where his parents migrated to UK. The most interesting fact about him is that he has the highest collection of drawings and portraits depicting the life, emotions and passion of Pakistan the country of his origin though he has never been there. All those who had the opportunity to have a look at his creation found them the real images which they feel or experience in the country whereas all this illustration is the result of his mere imagination. Abassi had a son who was killed in a dark night just two months after the London blasts. The British Police was not able to find the reason for the murder neither were able to track the assassins, Abassi inside his heart knew the reason and that was his son was a muslim but he never expressed any such thing. Abassi teaches piano at Greyfield school of music.

“You ended the tone at the right time” spoken by Juan while looking at the music notes in front of her. Juan is in her early twenties and has been doing music with Abassi for almost three years. Juan not only stands outs in the class for her beauty and attractive figure but also for a great insight in music composition. Juan lives alone and has been left enough wealth by her deceased father. Abassi opened her tied long hairs and speaks looking in the eyes of Juan “I just felt like feeling the cold breeze.” Juan was the only one in the class of eight people to understand the meaning behind his words. Abassi continued “There is no ending to creativity. You can play the tone as long as it is transforming the feelings inside you to the beauty of music. I stopped playing because the feelings inside drove me to join the tone of paino with the shriek of glass and whispering of breeze.” Abassi walked out of the class as an hour assigned to him was over.

There was a knock on his office door. He put the brush down and opened the door. “Juan! I knew it was you” uttered by Abassi. Juan replied “Today I will see what you are making and will not listen to any of your reasoning for not coming inside and have a look.” Abassi smiled and spoke “Your beautiful eyes do not allow me to deny you.” Juan entered in and had a look at the nearly completed painting. There was a range of mountains covered with snow and a young boy was climbing up. There were few birds sitting at the peak and nearly half sun has set behind the mighty mountains. After having a look at the painting Juan stared at Abassi who was playing with astray placed on the table. Juan again looked back to the painting and this time she did not see what was shown rather sensed the chain of thoughts behind it. The half bright and half drark mountains, boy climbing up with his feet deep inside the snow, the birds flying away from the peak and half set sun depicted her an array of hope trying to sneak through the dark holes all around. Juan said in a low voice “You are portraying a ray of hope emerging from blankets of bleak.” Abassi has never answered to any of the comments made by Juan or any one regarding his creativity but this time he spoke looking at the sun coming out of grey clouds “Yes a hope! for the people of Himalayas.”
