Ek door-daraz ke pahari gaon mein, jahan sardi ki raaton mein sirf hawaon ki sarsarahat sunayi deti thi, ek chota sa baccha 'Ayan' apni purani lakdi ke palne mein leta tha. Ayan ke paida hote hi uski maa is duniya se rukhsat ho gayi thi, aur uske baap ka saya bhi sar se uth chuka tha. Gaon ke log use "akele naseeb wala" kehte the.
