Unfulfilled Desire

Unfulfilled desire

Sheryl Varghese is still alive, she is Charu's grandmother. She is very ill, Charu is in deep thinking, only grandma can tell her about her all questions but she is very sick now, I have to wait a little, then she asked the nurse as to which doctor is treating grandmother, she said, "Dr. Robert is treating her", then Charu told to the nurse that give me his number, then she called the doctor and took an appointment and at about 2:00 pm she went to see the doctor. In about one and a half hours, the doctor explained everything to her about the recovery of her grandmother, but it will take time may be  3 to 4 months. The improvement will happen but little slowly.

Nevertheless, she was busy with the treatment for about 2 months and slowly started getting improvement inside her grandmother, her father also came there, similarly this is how the whole 3 months had passed, then one day the doctor came to examine her grandmother and he said that your grandmother is better, now you can talk to her slowly. Then Charu thought it would be a appropriate time to ask her grandmother about my quarry and by chance  that day her father too had gone out in town for his business.

 Then her grandmother expressed great happiness to see her and asked Charu, "how are you?"  you have come back here to me, I am feeling very good." Charu said, don't worry I will stay here with you now". Then Charu took the same book and sat there in front of grandma, and then grandmother asked her, "which book she is reading. "Hey, please show me," then Charu showed her the book and while she was showing her photo, all of a sudden the photo came out and it fell near the pillow.

Her grandmother asked very eagerly, "hey, whose photo is this"?she kept looking at the photo for a while and said, "this photo seems familiar". Charu said, "never mind, don't put so much strain on your mind now it's the time of your food. It is time for you to take rest by eating food and medicine" . So Charu fed the grandmother food and gave her medicine and asked her to rest. Then charu also took her lunch. 

When grandma woke up in the evening, she called  Charu and said, " come here and show me that photo". When Charu gave her that photo, she started thinking and she went in her dreamland and said it's the same villa where I had brought your mother as a bride in this house and it is in Fort Kochi ," Charu said with a very happy voice, are you sure? that this villa is in Fort Kochi?" Her grandmother said, "yes".Then the grandmother said that after your mother's demise, we left that house and we came here and that villa was turned into a hotel.. There was love only for you in the eyes of your mother and she had gone away from the world with tears and painful eyes. Then she told Charu, open my cupboard and bring out  photo of your mother from the middle shelf, when Charu took that photo she was surprised  because the sari her mother wore in it was the same sari the lady wore on

this book's cover page, the one who had no eyes but tears, nose and lips.  She said to the grandmother that it looks very similar to my mother. Grandmother said, "hey, it's your mother, she was a great writer, she had also written this book, in this book she had mentioned everything about her life. 

  Charu said to the grandmother that there is a map behind the photo and there is a code ... MV02FK09. Can you guess ? So grandma said, "yes, I know this is my home address, I wrote this code and I kept it inside this book of your mother. Your father had thrown out all the books written by your mother. After your mother's death your father  sold out everything related to his wife". Then the grandmother said," hey, where did you get this book from?"and said, "show me that code". When grandma saw that code, she said it meant that MV02FK09 M=Mani Oomen V=Villa 02=house number FK=Fort Kochi 09=street number. It is in Fort Kochi and it was first house and then it became a hotel because your father had sold it too because he had all the memories of your mother ".Your father didn't want to keep anything related to your mother. 

Next morning Charu decided to visit that Vila. Charu was very much eager to see the place where her mother came as a bride. 

.

Then she called a taxi and went but it became very difficult to find that villa because no one wanted to tell the way.

After very difficulties finally an old begger showed her the way. And  that old begger was murmuring that may God bless her. Charu asked him that for whom you are praying. But  he didn't answer and  went away. Charu didn't bother too much because she wanted to reach there as soon as possible. 

Finally she reached there. And she was delighted to see the view of that villa. It was not less than paradise. Then  she saw an arrow on the left side of a wall of staircase which was going upwards. Owing to her curiosity she went upstairs. There was a musiuam of antique things but after sometime she was about to come, she was shocked to see the same photo of her mother which was the cover photo of that book. Her mind revolved at the 360 degree.  In her uproar weave she sat on the floor, some stranger came to her and asked her, "what happened" but she was totally blank. Then that stranger shook her and offered her a glass of water.

Then Charu told him the entire story of hers. 

After listening her he patted her and gave a visiting card and said that call me tomorrow morning and come to my  office.
