The Mistry...........

Charu was loaded with so many questions yet to be answered. Now the message of her friend Yuvaan had made her more excited, curious, and making her mind heavy with her plans to know the unseen facts, which were been hidden knowingly or for any other reasons. Again and again, she is thinking about that sword, about the sudden disappearance of Vincent uncle and visit Egypt, about the lake, about the sound she heard and about the caretaker Martha calling her Sheryl………Charu started to give a cool thought how to start and from where? Then her friend Yuvaan too had responded to her calls and he is too started creating some mystery in her mind. But she is very headstrong and she knows how to solve problems. She had learned from her granny and that had made her many times to handle the problems.

Now she thought to reach the Voila as per the blueprint. She got herself ready and left for the City Mall. She was going through the Mall and could feel that she is been followed by somebody. She stopped and turned back, Charu saw two persons were behind her in a distance of five feet, and seeing her they acted as if searching for something. Now Charu thought of not going to spot the Voila and made her decision to go to Vincent uncle’s house. Slowly she left the place and moved for Vincent uncle’s house. She reached his house and rang the bell. After few moments the door was opened and she could find Ruth standing in front of her. Charu now started smelling something …….she was surprised to see Ruth at that time there. She wished him and could see that Ruth was getting nervous to see her there. Then she took her seat and was waiting for Anna, the daughter of Vincent's uncle. Then Anna came and wished Charu. Charu was very normal and given the impression to all as if she had just come to meet Anna and spend some time with her. Then she looked from the corner of her eyes at Ruth and now could see that he is getting better and he asked Anna to leave. Then Ruth left the place.

Charu started the discussion about her childhood days and the sweet memories. Anna was feeling very comfortable now and joined with Charu and started from the incident, which was not known to Charu.

Anna started the incident happened when Charu was three years old and was very sweet and pretty. Anna told her that at that age too Charu was always very demanding in nature and her granny used to fulfill all her demands. She told Charu that once Charu wanted to ride a horse and for that Anna’s father Vincent took her and rode the horse. Vincent was an expert in horse riding. Charu loved horse riding and started learning it from Vincent. Anna mentioned with a smile with pride that Charu was a brave girl like Sheryl Varghese………Then she paused and with a pale face wanted to change the topic…….Charu could think this will be the time to get some clues from Anna for the questions stored in her mind. Charu just casualy asked Anna about Sheryl Varghese. Anna looked at Charu and told leave it…….she was a great lady ……..she was a daredevil…….she loves and respects honest people…..she was very intelligent….she never spares the ungrateful people……Sheryl Varghese was always unpredictable……..she was a hard taskmaster……..Then Anna continued with a heavy breath…….You know Charu when you were a kid we used to talk that you are the little Sheryl Varghese….. your style, your acts, your acts, and your attitudes were like Sheryl. Now you had grown up and all the styles, attitudes, thoughts, acts decisions, and even you yourself are like Sheryl Varghese’s. Now everybody here is talking about it. Charu do you remember the incident when my father Vincent was seriously injured? Anna asked Charu. Charu is now more interested to know the details and replied with a smile,’’ no-no aunty. Please tell me how it happened?’’

Then Anna took a deep breath and with a sad face started,’’ You know that incident is one of the major reasons for my father’s knee and joint problems. Your family was having a number of horses and my father used to take care of their well-being. Those horses were been purchased and trained by my father to participate in horse riding races. Always in the race, they used to win and that was a big pride for your family. When you were a kid as my father was taking you horse riding and you used to love it too. One day there was a wild horse, who was just been bought got freed, and was running towards you. My father saw it and rushed to save you. He tried with difficulty to control that horse, but it was so wild that started running towards the hill and while running my father tried to check the horse and fall down from the top of the hill. The horse was then calm, but my father was seriously injured and in hospital for 2 months. He has knee injuries. My father loved you and he had saved you on that day. My father was a very close associate of Mr. Anthony. Mr. Anthony too was a daredevil person and expert in martial arts. He learned it from his teacher who was from Egypt and my father had visited Egypt several times with him and met his teacher. He was a Godly person. My father was having good touch with him. You know Charu everyone is brave, but someone is required to show you the lights how to discover them from your within. Mr. Anthony learned it and had taught it to my father. The sword of Anthony is a unique one. Only my father was the person who used to touch it and hold it. It was not at all possible for anybody to touch and hold it. That sword has power, you believe it or not. It works like a lively thing. ‘’

Then Anna asked Charu if she would like to have a cup of coffee? Charu noded and Anna took leave giving some time to Charu to think about the clues and to make her plan executed accordingly. Now some more questions on Vincent uncle started to arise in her mind.

She started finding the roots of the link for Vincent uncle and Egypt. She started thinking about what should be the link between Ruth and today’s presence here? She started thinking why Martha fainted seeing her and saying, Sheryl? Was there any link? Why Martha is afraid of Sheryl? She again thought about the persons following her today, was it a plan by anybody? Was it been fixed by Ruth? She was missing Yuvaan….where is he? This is also looking like to her full of mysteries. Charu felt the urgency to reveal this Mistry. All these things are looking like a silent war against her family ……….. hidden secret behind the fortune…..a subject she never learned to date………..Now Charu decided thought to raise the curtain on everything. She has just closed her eyes and trying to keep her plans in her memory. Then Anna came with a plate of some dry fruits and a glass of water, told Charu to have it. Anna sat near Charu and told very affectionately,’’ you know my dear we all love you so much that we will be always with you for help’’.

Charu just listened to this last line from Anna and a bright spark of hope lightened in her mind. She looked back at Anna and said,’’ yes aunty I know you all are like my family. I love you all too. But you know so many things happened so quickly that I couldn’t get the time to sit with you all and share our feelings with each other. Have you ever been to Egypt Anna aunty?’’ This had taken Anna to a very doubtful expression. She was in a very toughest time to answer Charu. She started thinking about what should she answer? But she has to answer. Then she asked Charu,’’ do you need some more of it, dear?’’ Charu with a smile replied,’’ no aunty. This is enough.” Now Charu could understand that Anna is trying to avoid answering her question. Charu told Anna the dry fruits are really nice. Anna said,’ oh yes these are all of export quality, and all are been your products. ‘’

Charu could now see that Anna had returned to her normal mood. She never wanted to make her upset, so that it will difficult for her to know the unknown mysteries. She knew her purpose of visit Vincent uncle’s house. Shad come here to get the clues of answers to the questions circulating in her mind. She was thanking Anna internally for giving her some clues. Then she saw a young girl with two cups of coffee in a tray entered the room. She kept the tray on the table and wished Charu. Then Anna introduced her to Charu,’’ she is my daughter Voila.’’

Charu smiled and leaned back. She spoke, Voila what are you doing? The young Vila answered,’’ I am continuing my studies….’’.Then she left. Charu taking the cup of coffee in her hand started thinking of Voila in the blueprint mentioned by Yuvaan. Now again she got confused about whether this Voila or the one big hotel in the back side of the mall Voila is the entrance. As Yuvaan is not with her and also not answering her calls, now she has to get the answer by herself……..She will get it…….There was a smile on her face as she was getting closer to her answers. But Anna couldn’t understand that and asked,’’ the coffee is good! My daughter Voila makes good coffee………Then Charu finished the coffee and said the coffee is really very nice and same was the company I had with you, aunty. I had come here with lots of tension, but now too much relaxed. I am very happy to meet you and talk to you. I will keep coming to you whenever I feel, can I? Then Anna felt very relaxed and happy and said,’’ oh yes my dear any time you can come. You are always welcomed. We all are like family and as I told you, we all are there with you always at your help. It will be a great pleasure to have you with us and serve you. This is your kindness that you are thinking and taking care of all of us as your family. God will always help you and bless you to succeed in your life.”

Charu wished her a bye and left the place. Now she got so many clues and with that so many twists that she has to arrange it in a systematic and right manner to proceed and find what is The Mistry?????????
