Before we reached The Grand we passed through a corner of the park bordering Chowringhee Road. In the vast black sky two stars glistened brighter than all the others. Monhan pointed to them and said that every time he saw them he was reminded of a close friend, Moindeen and his wife Amina. They were reasonably happy until one night Moindeen brought home a youth and introduced him as a business associate. During the dinner he was so solicitous of the youth's comfort and tastes Amina became suspicious. After dinner he took him home in his car and stayed too long for Amina's peace of mind. Unable to sleep she went to the window and looked at the sky. She saw only two stars and they winked at her. Soon afterward Moindeen became ill from a strange poison then Amina vanished. Finally she was found wandering along a deserted road and whenever anyone spoke to her she shook her head dumbly and pointed to the sky.

At the hotel door after I bade Monhan good night and watched his slender figure fade into the darkness I thought of the comment he made after he finished telling me the story. It was, "In sikhism, associations such as Moindeen's with the youth are considered just a passing phase in life that must be experienced."
