Translated by Farooq Sarwar<\/span><\/p>\n

The snow was falling. It covered the whole earth with immense white heaps. It was a frozen. I covered my neck with the muffler and fast my walking to warm-up myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cool compelled me to enter a shopping centre. I seated on a chair. Now I observed a man very close to me on the other chair with long scattered beard, a bad smell was coming from him, which was intolerable to me. I left my place and seated on a faraway chair. The manager of the shopping centre arrived and through his gestures asked him to go, but he replied.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My friend is busy in purchasing, when he comes, I will leave the place.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are a liar; these were your words recently. Now you are repeating these again.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shabby man closed his eyes, moved his head and once more answered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust me, he is coming soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The manager used his mobile phone and called his colleague. At this moment, both men showed their anger.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to this we allowed you on your pretext that there is frozen outside, but you are not speaking the truth. Get out.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m ready to leave this place, but I\u2019m not telling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both the persons did not allow him to complete his sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do not say again that you\u2019re not telling the lie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now the ragged man changed his tone that I told the lie not intentionally. Really there is cold outside.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both the workers shouted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get out from the shopping centre forthwith.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the moment, the shabby man left the chair. Now I observed through the glasses of the shopping centre that he seated outside on the footpath like the heap of the falling snow.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
