Eid & Equality!!


She was sitting on the chair with dates in her hand ready to put in her mouth.
"Ammy. When will the Azan start?? I want to see the Eid moon" she asked eagerly.
"Soon beta" her mother replied
Though they lived in hut. Yet they had ample meal to fill everyone stomachs.
After azan she quickly gobbled up her dates and water and ran outside. As she passed the gates she saw her friends running outside too. Little bells on their anklet kept knocking together as they ran out of their huts.
Somehow the slum was beautiful today.
 They ran and reached the mansion. The old man left it to her friend's father. They got permission to go up the roof and look at the moon.
Hastily they went to the roof.
"I don't see it" one of her friends shouted.
"It's not visible right now" a group shouted from behind.
As they turned around they saw well-dressed, well-presented kids of their age.
"What are you doing here?" The slum kids shouted. "You can't be here if your parents see us we will get in trouble"
"No it's ok. Please let us see the moon." The kids requested.
In the midst of all this someone shouted “There is the moon. Eid Mubarak!!!”
And they all started hugging each other.
A beautiful sight of society classes merging in union, on this beautiful occasion.
Eid really did bring people together!
