Got a penny in hand,going to a shop for seeking job,Neenal was holding his stomach to persuade his hungriness.
When reached the shop there were small candies bag,some fries,some pappads and other snacking eatables.
He covered his torn shirt with a newspaper and spoke to the owner of the shop regarding his need for an immediate job.
The owner denied him saying that he was running out of money to pay for an extra worker.
He felt pity for his condition and offered him some pennies.
But Neenal refused to accept them and said,"I ain't a beggar ,I need money but not by being pathetic for my condition."

He just moved to the next shop ,a cosmetics shop.
The owner didn't allow him inside for his appearance.

The next shop he could not even think of entering,a jewellery shop.So he crossed that and saw at the end of street a small motel.

He just entered,but some workers just directed him to the backyard.He came to the backyard when he saw some poor people relishing their food served freely to them.
The workers of the motel reserved some place and offered him the food.
He refused to eat and asked them would he be able to get a job .But they didn't even heed to them pushed him and were rushing to the entrance to receive a guest.On the occasion of the birthday of the guest, free food was served to poor people.

On seeing the car he was nostalgic about his past life.

Soon he reached the end of the street,no job,no food he was wiped out by sweat .He thought to spend the money yo fetch some water.His eyes were watery instead on thinking about his fasting family.His wife and two children survived by drinking water from a nearby pump.

He then changed his mind and felt that he was too hungry that he could even stand .He felt dizzy,he managed to sit on the corner of the footpath.
He quickly got a deep sleep out of hunger.

In the sleep he got some dreams distracting his hunger.Neenal in the dream was rich ,so rich that even after his emacity for gold,ornaments,antique, or whatever his eye sight reflected,his wealth didn't dwindle.It was weird that in his dream he saw the guest in that motel being a competitor for his business.

He woke up and was quick enough to again search for his job without wasting time.

In the next street he saw a pet shop,he explained his poverty to the owner to help him with a job.But the owner was not able to lend him a job as the shop was already bankrupt.
His emacity peaked as he had to buy food for his family who had not seen any food atleast two days.

His previous job as made him even more to suffer when the owner shifted his shop to his hometown.

The penny made him to realize that it was not even enough to buy a bread.So once again searched for job.
He went street after street,shop after shop but was with empty hands.

He returned home as he was too late to his awaiting family.
He reached his house ,his wife and children were leaning against the door.In their eyes was not long hidden hungry but who were anxiously waiting for his arrival in the late night.
He hugged them and took their single plate to serve the food which he got from the motel atlast minute before closing the motel.
His wife first feeded her children ,then served the food for him.
He feeded her first and then took some piece of it to swallowed without tasting it to quench his fasting .
After finishing their never seen dinner for the past ten days, she enquired him about the job.
He replied ,"I was not able to get a job but had one happy dream."
She wondered and then asked what was he in the dream
Neenal said happily,"I was rich as I was previously".
She wiped her tears and said,"Now you are rich to have a family, soon you will be even more richer".

He then said"In the dream I saw my fiancee as my competitior and I was accumulating more wealth.
She saw towards the sky and said,"Might be it would have been real had you married her .But you renounced everything for me.For your love for me though I was poor.I thought if I didn't accept your love for our differential status,you would forget me.
But abandoned your wealth in order to equal my status and married me as your love.

You impressed me with your emacity for my love at the expense of your sacrifice."
He pointed the sky and said,"Its because of the single moon in the sky there the stars are happy enough to shine all through the night.
Its because of your single love in my life ,I would be happy enough to spend the rest of my life with you."

Both closed their eyes to dream together their life so did the night.
A purely imaginary microtale just enjoy reading.
