Hello friends!
It another week and I am happy to join the steemit engagement challenge for week 2.
From the below art work, I will compose a story title;

"REFLECTION OF STARS AND ITS TIME"

The Story

Once upon a time, there lived a young boy named Jude who lost his parents at his young age. Life also gave him double dose of darkness by deforming him. After his parents' death, Jude moved to live with his uncle (Mr. George), his wife (Grace) and their son, Ken. When Jude moved in, Grace was unhappy because he was deformed and she considers him to be useless. She gives all the love to her son and punished the young Jude and wanted him out of her house without minding that he's living in the dark world without love and care.

One day, Ken went out for little job and earned money which he used in buying gold jewelry for his mom. Grace was so happy for receiving such a beautiful gift from her son and she prepared a nice meal for her son.
Later in the night, she said to her husband;

Honey, can you see how useful our son is to us? Unlike that your good for nothing deformed nephew you brought to this house

Mr. George was really fond of his wife and would do anything to please her.

He replied: Don't worry, my beautiful wife, if no one comes to take him away, I will personally kick him out or throw him to the street, that is what I will do. So please smile for me dearest wife.

Jude overheard the whole conversation between the couple, became very sad and left the house to his favorite spot where he normally sit down to watch the stars.
He sat down for hours talking to himself;

I am tired of this dark world, why can't I have even one star to sparkle my world just like the sky. The stars that were giving light to my dark parts left me all alone to join other stars in the sky, I miss my parents ( tears running through his eyes). Now my uncle and his wife wants me to leave the house, where do I go to, who will take care of a deformed boy like me? I have no parents! I am useless to this world, I just want to die!

While Jude was still talking to himself, a stranger came from behind and tapped gently on his shoulder.

She asked: little boy, why do you talk like that? No one is useless in this world, have hope that everything will be fine because there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Soon your own stars will reflect, it's not your time yet, just have hope okay? Take me to your uncle please, I want you to come and live with me.

Jude's uncle and the wife were so happy that he was leaving their house.
The strange woman took him to her house and said to him; Don't worry, I will teach you how to use your hands and also restore your legs.
The woman was herbs doctor. Many years later, Jude the deformed boy who had been living with this strange woman, learned how to also use herbs to cure different kinds of illness. He was able to walk well again because the woman cured him.
One day, Jude heard that the richest man in his town was suffering from unknown illness without cure. Jude find his way to the man's house to cure him. He was welcome because everyone was looking for solution on how to cure the man.
Jude gave him herbs to drink for three days and he was healed.

The rich man said: Young man, for you being my light in my darkest moment, I will share half of my wealth with you and adopt you as my son since I have none for 25 years of being married

Jude was in shock, he was crying tears of joy of having parents again.
He was grateful to the strange woman for leading him to his stars.
When his uncle and family heard about the rich man's offer to Jude, they were sad. They wished it was their son but couldn't have the courage to meet Jude and ask for forgiveness.
Jude's world was sparkling with lots of stars when it was the right time to reflect and he lived happily with his new parents.
The End! Thank you.
