sick city

They could herar the beautiful sounds of birds from the end of the forest."look, it's Danphe" Yodin shouted,"it can't be," Alan said. but he knew that Yodin was right and they both went near to see the beautiful colours of Danphe. Yodin was born in Jalnagar, a beautiful village in the lap of Ganesh himal. His father had owned huge forest area where he could enjoyed with all animals and the birds. His father was one of the properous farmer too who had owned huge space of fertile land.

But when Yodin became 16 years old his father sent him to Kathmandu for his further education. He was heart broken to leave his family, all birds and animals of forest, friend Alan and specifically his old weak mom. When he came to  Kathmandu he stayed with his uncle and aunt. He joined nearby college for his study. He was really alone in college without any friends and company. When days passed he started involving with one of the classmate called Palden. Later on they became a true friends. They had good time to share their feelings and thoughts.

One day the class was running on and Palden said," I am too much bore of reading all days in class, Bro! You read in class I will run away. But don't tell to any one, OK!" When Yodin heard such feelings from his best friend, they together ran away from the class. They started roaming all the corners of kathmandu all days. When days passed on they became habituated to bunk the class and started spent all days and night in street. One day they were going through the road of Bouddha, Palden went to buy something in the shop. Palden had bought cigarette and he made Yodin to test that.  At first he was afraid to test but he could not reject his fried's request. So he started taking cigarette. They started spending all their money in cigarette.
One morning they were walking just through Nayabasti, they felt too hungry. So Palden made him to wait in one of the Peepal Bot and went in search of food. But after few minutes he brought something like packet of iodine and said,"sorry bro, I didn't find any food for eating but one of the guy gave me this. he said that if we take it, it will makes our stomach full and will not make any harm". Yodin was too much hungry. So they started taking together. But later on they knew that the things they taking was drugs but they could not banned that because they had became addicted to that. They felt lifeless without the help of drugs but they required huge amount of money to buy that. So they started working for one of the Boss of Furniture shop. The Boss made them to smuggle forest's product illegaly to get required amount. They were given handsome amount to buy drugs.

    When time wents on they became bored working all days in Furniture shop and smuggling trees with fear of police. So Yodin thought of returning to his own village to strengthen their business.  After working 5 years for their Boss they both went to Yodin's village. When they reached back to Yodin's home, he said" Father! father! I have excellent idea to earn huge money". His father said," what's that? Can you share with me?" "Of course Dad. We can cut down all our these trees and sell in the market.", said Yodin. His father was unknown about the business but too he allowed his son to do that. After few years they had huge money but very less trees. All the animals and birds of the forest had ran away and all the agricultural lands had dried up. They started suffering from food starvation. So huge amount was loss to buy foods. On the other hand  Yodin and his friend Palden had started spending other amount in buying drugs.

To reflect back, Yodin's childhood friend Alan had already became village master. He use to teach all the village children. One evening, Palden and Yodin were taking drugs in on of the nearby courtyard his home. Suddenly Alan saw them. Though Yodin was his childhood friend he didn't want to see his friend to involve in those activities. So he immediately called police from their village headquater. Finally Palden and Yodin were caught in charge of illegal cutting down of trees and unwanted supplying of drugs. Lastly, Yodin's father realized his great mistake that he had obeyed his son to cut down his wealthy trees.
