In this story, there was a boy named shiva and he was 14 years old. He lost his vision when he was two years old but he wished to see how the world looks like but every day ends with disappointment because he knows that he cannot see the world . Shiva had a Muslim friend named Yash. They were close friends from childhood. Shiva likes him very much.  Yash always care for shiva. As shiva was a blind guy yash take him everywhere and they both spend time together. Shiva and yash always visit the old temple of broken sculpture goddess in the center of the village town which nobody visited ever and they both  clean the dust and praise the god every time when they visit there and yash makes shiva to touch the god face to feel it and shiva feel the little crack in her right-side face while touching the sculpture. Something holds them to believe that the broken God can hear them. One day Shiva told yash that he wishes to see yash at least once. Yash replied that “one day you will see me and we celebrate that day with seeing each other” and hugged him. Next day shiva waited for yash arrival but yash is not arrived. later waiting for so long Shiva took his walking stick and went to Yash’s house. When he was nearing yash’s home he heard people were crying and he felt some bad presence around him. Shiva asked a stranger in the crowd what is happening there. The strange man told him that yash and his family were poisoned themselves and yash's mother, father, and his twin little sisters were died. Shiva dropped his stick with tears. He asked the strange man about yash. He told that yash was in the hospital and he also in serious condition. Shiva doesn’t know what to do.  He went to the old temple and touches the broken god sculpture and started praying for yash.  Later then he went to the hospital for yash but he only heard bad news that yash was no more.  Shiva couldn't control the situation around him and shouted yash’s name and cried in front of the hospital and he returns to the old temple.

When he stepping into the old temple, he throws his walking stick to the god’s sculpture and shouted why did the god done like this to him and cried. He started screaming and blaming the god that “how dare you took my friend from me”, he shouted. Shiva told that “there is no pure hearted guy like Yash, he was the only person who cared me a lot and now you took him from me”, he said with crying. Shiva said that he never feels blind when yash was with him but now for the first time he feels ashamed to be a blind person to live in this universe and he felt so depressed that he never have yash again. He crushed the god with heart full of pain.  At the time he heard a voice calling his name.  There was a girl standing in front of him who was his age but shiva couldn’t see the girl and confused that how did she know his name. He only heard the voice of the strange girl. He asked her” who are you?”, but the strange voice without answering his question she asked Shiva that “you wish to see your friend through your eyes at least once in your life, right? “ . Shiva couldn’t understand that “who she is and why she asking all this to him?”.

Shiva told her to leave him alone. She went near to him and holds his hand and told him that “I couldn’t make yash alive but I can help you to see yash and the world surrounds you atleast once , but if you accept that what I ‘m telling you to do", she said. Shiva couldn’t believe her words because he knows that he couldn’t see yash because he was blind from when he was little but even though he knows he couldn’t see him he accepted to do what the girl says and he asked her what he want to do to see Yash. The strange girl told him that there are four sculptures in front of him and he should break each sculpture one by one in that which broken sculpture he wished to fix it again in that situation he can see his friend yash through his eyes.

Shiva accepted and went near the first sculpture. He touched the sculpture and he feels the presence of situation around him that he saw the center of the road with a politician sculpture in front of him and people were busy in their work. Shiva took his hands from the first sculpture and broke the sculpture with his walking stick and he was shocked to see the presence of the same situation around him but now he saw the politician sculpture was broken and their peoples were fighting with each other for the sculpture. He saw that transports are burning; the party members are protesting against each other. The public was violated by the party members of politician. He was so scared of the stupid peoples and he hate the situation over him. Shiva never wanted to see yash in this situation so he took a step backward without fixing it   and he can understand that the first sculpture which he was broken is the sculpture of the politician.  Then he moved to the second sculpture and he touch it to feel the presence of the second sculpture. The situation that gave him a positive vibrant and he csaw a sculpture of a God. Everyone is praising the god and children are happy and playing around everywhere and bell sounds are ranging around him. When he broke the second sculpture. The same place was totally different from what he was seen before. The god sculpture was broken, people were running in the crowd, children were crying around him, Different religion peoples are fighting with each other and people and Children were dying in the crowd.  Shiva  don't want to see the arrogant people in there and he felt that as he and yash were from different religion.  This situation will teach them about violence against each religion. So, he didn't want to see yash in that arrogant situation and he took  step backward without fixing and he can understand himself that the second one was God sculpture.

Then he moved to the third sculpture and he touched it.  When he opened his eyes in the presence he was in the beach and Children were playing and there was so much friends and families spending time happily with each other and sharing foods and also, he saw a poor old man who was begging for some food. There were so many peoples in the beach.  He was so relief that there is no sculpture in this scenario like before he experienced. Then he breaks the third sculpture when he came to the same situation, he saw the same presence around him. He feels so happy and he thought that it was the situation to see yash but while he turned aside, he saw the people taking pictures of the poor man who was begging for food was surround by people and offering him food .It seem good until they are posting picture of of exposing them offering poverty in social media for likes and followers. Nobody ready to fulfil his needs and some of the people get back the money they have given just for the post and some of them threw the waste food on him disrespectfully and made the old man feel worry about his life .  The moment he gets angry about the brainless people of the situation and he took  step backward and he hates to fix it and he move on to the last sculpture.

He was so disappointed of the society because of the three sculptures which has only the bad presence situation.   But he wants to see his friend yash for that he ready to break the last sculpture. Shiva touches the last sculpture and last situation of presence came. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of tears. Shiva already knew that place in words which was described by Yash once.  Shiva saw the view which was told by yash that the place was filled with green fields and the peoples are harvesting in the farming land and singing. Shiva couldn’t even blink his eye by seeing the situation  around him. And he doesn’t see any sculpture in the situation. He took his walking stick and broke the last sculpture. when he ready to see, he was shocked to see that the situation because in first three situation he saw the people were fighting each other for selfish politician, unity less peoples and with no humanity but here the farming lands of fields were turning into parched fields and the farming animals were dying of thirsty because of waterless atmosphere and also, he can feel the nature is disappearing slowly. Shiva don’t know what to do he just turned back. Shiva had a tear in his eyes when he saw a man who was faraway distance from him hanged himself in the tree with holding a rice crop yield in his hand and a cow showing its sarrow towards him by licking his legs.

In that situation, shiva freaked out and worried of heartless God. By crossing the three sculpture he saw the worse side of the world which was created by these misleading selfish humans who fighting over a sculpture and pretending they are good beings in the magical situation but in here he saw the real man who sacrificing himself and unexceptional thing is the nature worrying and stepping down for the single person in front of him and the situation were turned to parched and nature less land. He can understand that the man who was hanging is a farmer. It was a most wistful and guilty situation

He took his step back. The strange girl asked him if he want to fix it up or not. Shiva paid silent and took away the broken piece and started fixing it.  After completely fixed the sculpture, he saw a farmer sculpture and went to the same presence of situation he heard a voice of his friend yash calling from behind him. Shiva turned back and so happy to see yash in real. Shiva ran to him and hugged him tightly with tears. Yash showed Shiva that their village and the green fields and he took him to his home. Shiva was so much delighted to see yash’s family. When he arrived yash home he was shocked to See his father who was man hanged himself in the before situation he had faced. And Shiva has no words to say to yash. He ran out of yash’s house and went to the temple and cried by saying why this all happening to him and he shouted at the God. The same strange girl voice came there now Shiva can see her face. She was so beautiful but had some scars in her body. Shiva was thinking that he felt her face before in the sense of touching and the scar in her face reminds him something close to him. She told shiva that you facing a hard time and you and your friend were showed love towards me and cared me while none of the people wants to see me and thanked him. Shiva was so confused about what she was saying. Then she asked shiva, “You can see the world in real and you can cure from your blindness or else you can bring back your friend and his family alive. You have only one wish I can do for you”. Shiva begins to realize that she is a god of the broken sculpture in the temple. Shiva said to the girl that he was so happy to see him at least once in the magical situation and its happened and thanked her for everything. Shiva told her, I don’t want my vision because he is the guide of my life Book “, he said. I wish that my friend yash and his family to be alive. The girl smiled at Shiva.

Suddenly Shiva fells unconscious and after an hour someone waked him up. He couldn’t see anything but he hears Yash’s voice and he happy that yash was there. He was so much happy to feel his presence in real. At the time Yash’s father arrived there and told yash that he had a profit sale for his crop yields and he took yash and Shiva to his farming land and spend their time together happily. While they play in the middle of the field. Shiva feels the presence of something makes him to feel the presence of the girl even though he was blind he look towards the direction of the broken goddess temple which is far away from where he was standing and at the same time surprisingly that strange girl seeing shiva and yash from the temple with a pleasant smile.
