There was a dry, barren, dusty, Land with no water. No one ever thinks of or wishes to visit, look at that land for solace or spend time for peace. As far as the sight can see, there was nothing but only void, and vacuity covering much of the space. As far as the ear can hear, the only sound that could be heard was of dry leaves being crashed. No melody was heard but waves of chaos. This land had no door, it maliciously welcomed everyone with open arms like the lap of a mother as if indicating the longing of that empty land for somebody to arrive. Just like no one had visited that land for so long, it might have called but, no one seemed to reply except a man with wrinkles on his face could be seen with dark spots of joy on his face, his legs were skinny, his hands were trembling, seemingly the men is about to faint, having grey shades of life in his beard, a turban and dust in his head. it was Allah Dito standing on barren land, hitting his stick to that land, maybe the crazy men wanted to awaken the asleep land. He was seen there in a posture of questions . It felt like a desert, the heat was at its peak eating Allah Dito’s flesh Muttering and taking steps on the barren land, each step he took was leaving a mark behind but for the time being.
Allah Dito while observing was enjoying the journey on this barren land at first, a land which had nothing to be joyful about, a land with nothing to sustain life, yet Allah Dito all alone was happy with a stick in his hand, a turban on his head, clothes on his body almost torn in pieces. He carried out his journey, regardless he had memory loss, he would go a few steps, and then question himself.
What does this place have? Let’s go.
At one point, Allah Ditto could not hold on to his turban and it felt like a burden on his head. He took his turban and looked at it saying. Ah! That’s the weight of dust. For washing the turban. Allah Dito looked over, but there was no water on that land. Allah ditto while having this hope of water kept his journey that soon at a distance I might find water. In this hope, he continued his journey and started questioning himself again. What does this place have? He uttered “Nothing”. On his journey, Allah Dito was not only taking physical steps rather would also involve his mind and his body because there was nobody else on the barren land. As he continued his journey, the stick he had, placed on a barren land looked and said:
What is it? Why am I carrying this burden? What does this stick have? Nothing.
Allah Dito said. Leaving that stick there because for him the stick was a burden he didn’t want to carry. Taking steps, Mumming and observing he continued his journey. Sun was about to set and it was almost evening and Allah Dito could look at the rays, the golden hour of the sun. While looking at the sun he raised his finger towards it and said “ you know anything? don’t you have anything else to do despite arising at the same time, following the same thing every day? well, I know you nothing. if you had any other business you would not arise every day.
Yet you have found nothing on this barren land.
Birds flock, spreading wings and flying high in the sky. There were many as if they covered the whole place where Allah Dito was standing. He is outraged by their chirping he looks at them and says:
Why are you chirping over my head? Can’t you see I have nothing? Tell me what you have? Obviously. You are silent, I know you too have nothing. When you have nothing so what you’re doing here at this place? What does this place have? Allah dito annoyingly with the pace of his journey, still murmuring about the birds
“stupid little creeps know nothing” “have nothing” and are taking high flies”.
While observing the surroundings Allah Dito didn’t see anything in the distance but he continued his journey despite knowing the end of this journey. but his shouts and constant questions gave him a reason to continue. On this journey Allah Dito looked at the things which had no meaning for him yet it gave him pleasure while looking at those things, and Allah Dito was happy for that.
As Allah Dito screamed “Annihilation” Annihilation” what does it have? What does it mean?
As Allah Dito was about to utter something, he felt somebody’s presence but that was nothing on that land how somebody can be on a barren land and why one would like to go on a journey on barren land but that presence of a powerful wind that came over him with a storm & he said Ah there is nothing in something, why are you roaring above me? Nothing Allah Dito Nothing! look at my wrinkled face If this land would have given something I would have definitely given you.
Go wind roar somewhere else, where roar does have any value. In this barren land with me you can’t have anything or you can get anything.
He went on ignoring all these things, the birds, the sandstorm wind, the clouds, but he continued his journey as he went far the distance which cannot be measured, he took high sighs, wondering if he got answers to his questions, yet the evening was not spread fully he stood in a posture like if he is searching for something, confused, here and there, his eyes, were not constantly fixed at one position. as in confusion he looked here in there. He saw a shadow something the only thing which brought happiness on his face in this whole journey, In this vast, empty space, where it shadows stretched and roam as he came near it was something covered in dark silk, unfold with the gentle care a ephemeral beauty in barren landscape he came close and saw that was “A Black Rose” he wanted to touch but there were thorns around it. His eyes filled with tears of joy, but this time Allah Dito sit by its side, he didn’t mummer anything, he was quite, as if the rose gave him a long silence everything around him stopped making sound, Allah Dito took a sigh and said
Allah Dito: Your heart lies in this rose, and he slept by its side.
