Chapter 1
He walked through the deserted roads he had no destination in mind.
Who am i was the question that kept echoing his mind .
His present name gave him life , kept him breathing.But today he did not want to live ,he did not want to breath, he just wanted to go into an endless sleep , a permanent samadhi.
Today he lost it all .His past ghosts his , self reluctance costed him most precious thing .The lady that had brought oasis in his deserted life was now a mirage .He saw her leaving to her new house ,new family and a new man.They said he was very rich and his family well cultured.Good for her ,she will live amongst human and not the conniving foxes .Now she had a man who will be by her side always and not someone who always wants her by his side .
Flash of traffic lights brought him in present.He looked around he had walked quiat a distance ,he was in the city .That too walking on the mid road.The horns honked and a bike swished past him.
'Abey marna hai kya ' the rider yelled .
He made his way to footpath while others glared at him
'Marney ko road hi milti hai' somebody bellowed
He tried to focus .They were right ,the road was not meant to die and neither was he one of those who got killed so easily ,he sighed !
Crash
He heard a scream and looked .A man has been hit .His body lay writhing in pain.He rushed to help .
'Ambulance pls call the ambulance ,' he cried as he pulled out his shirt to soak the blood that drained out of the body like rain water .
'Whats wrong with these people 'he screamed as he carried the body into the taxi.'Cant they help '
'They r dead people Bhai ' soothed the taxi driver.'Dont worry saab this man is lucky we will take him to hospital.'
The taxi drivers rough voice had a strange calmness .He tried to look at his face but all he could see was a flute hanging through the rear mirror .
Chapter 2
It was a long journey .He reached Jamunapoori , the village where family of the man lived .It has been a week since that life changing event happened. The police had taken over the case and now it was a shut case. But his promise to the dying man was still to be fulfilled.
The last wish of a dying son and a loving brother still to be fulfilled by a stranger .
He knocked the wooden door with depleting rusted hinges.
Who r u ' asked the girl . She had the face of her brother. A beautiful girl in her early twenties .
'I am the man who took '.'
He needed no introduction. The girl knew him.
'U took Bhaiya to hospital', she was in tears .'We were too shocked to thank u .U were always their with us but we were too engrossed in our pain''
'I understand . U don't need to say behen'
His last word overwhelmed her .He heard a fierce coughing coming from inside.
'I think Maa Ji is sick', he inquired peering in. The girl let him come in.
'Yes Maa is sick .U stay here or u may have infection. I will bring some water for u'
'No let me see Maaji .I am here for her '
The girl looked at him surprised .Her younger sister peeped out of curtain to look at the compassionate stranger at their doors.
He made his way in the room . Sat by her bed side. The gray haired lady somehow managed to stop her strenuous coughing. She tried to smile but all she could manage were the tears in her eyes.
He knew the pain .the pain of losing a young lively son , the son who was their hope for future life ,the only bread earner of the household.
He had seen the certificates .Her son was an intelligent one ,first class graduate .Surely mother had worked hard for his education .It showed on her face which had withered before age .
'Oh u saw my son , dont u .U talked to him before dying. Oh tell me please did he talk of us'
He took her frail trembling hands into his. ' Yes Maaji he did .He was a brave boy .And all he wanted was to take care of u all . Your son had a last wish and I am here to fulfill it Maaji
'Bhaiya's last wish ! ' , the two sisters exclaimed .
'Yes his last wish. He wanted me to take care of u all '
'Oh my child. U dont need to . Any dying man would say that ', said the old lady.
'But your dying son said it to me .And by saying this he bound me to this world once again. The world which i had decided to forsake '. Tears brimmed his eyes as he relived those moments .
' Maaji that night i walked on those roads to die , I felt there was no reason to live while your son wanted to live for u all .He had a future to live but then he had no life to live. When I took your son to hospital and talked to him in his last moments I realized how precious life could be .Your son's last wish has given me a reason to live Maaji. Please dont say no . Let me help u .Let me fulfill my promises'.
The two girls looked at him awed. Has God come to them or has their brother come back in form of this stranger .The old lady could feel a son in pain , a son asking for repentance, asking for a chance to live his life again. There was something in him that made her heart melt, something that made her feel like her own son has come back .He has come back to fulfill all promises he made before he left for the city in search of better opportunities.
***********
Geeta and Reema had taken him as their brother . Shanti Devi had recoverd and was now a lady buzzing with energy and enthusiasm. It has been six months he had been with the Shastri family. The family had inherited large farmlands but all a wasteland .
Farming was never his area but somehow his knack for business helped him here too. All he needed was to get people at work and try some new crops in demand yet needing meager water .The village chaudhary was impressed and offered him to be a representative for them in the villages agricultural development .He enjoyed trying new things ,thinking ways to use the land making people work and seeing them smile when little changes made things better.
Now he had a mother who loved him like her own son and two sisters to tie rakhi around his hands. Now all he dreamed was to get them good education and then get them married .He was content.
'Bhaiya Bhaiya look a call has come for interview ', Geeta gushed with joy
'But I never applied for a job ', he was perplexed
'I know Bhaiya u never applied but Dev Bhaiya did apply for this job months back'' her voice trailed away.
He sighed and caressed Geeta's hair but said nothing. He knew what Geeta was going through .Few tear drops had collected at corner of her eyes.
'Bhaiya u know this job was Dev Bhaiyas dream .He always wanted to work in city with lot of files in some big company'
He smiled and looked has his hands mudded with fresh soil. He had just planted some new mango trees around the fields. Strange these were the hands that signed deals of millions and now they were happily planting mango trees .He was happy , very happy with his new life.
'Bhaiya', Geeta shaked his arms. She was now used to bringing him out of trance which he often had whenever her Dev Bhaiya was mentioned
'Yes little sister say'
'Bhiya why don't u go for this interview .What if u get it Bhaiya .Dev Bhaiyas dream will come true.'
'I know dreams of Dev very well Geetu .He always wanted u, Reetu and Maa happy .Which u all r .I don't need to go to city and do job for that'
'Bhaiya but we do want to go.', interrupted Reema 'Dev Bhaiya always said he will send me too a big collage one day. If u get this job , we may all go to city '.
The two sisters had developed strange confidence in their new brother. He was like a Hercules to them .One who can do anything .It was he who found the way to make there acres of unfertile lands fertile , so why not this job for which their Dev Bhaiya had worked so hard .
Saras was surprised when even their Maa Shanti Devi , agreed with her daughters .They r saying it right beta u have been our dev and u r our dev.U never told us your real name and neither did we ever ask or will ask in future .But then my son I know u r a very educated boy . The way u have made things work in your just few months stay ,the way u handle people , the way u manage things shows u have a knowledge of business.I have felt the softness of your hand my son .They r the hands to handle pen not spade .
'But Maa, I am happy here '
'As u wish my son .I just want u all to be happy and if u r happy being here .I am happy too', Shanti Devi had no way to deny him. He was always so angelic and true.
'But Bhaiya I want to go to shahar wala school ', whined Reema
'And I want to see and work in those big buildings bhaiya .Just the way we see in tv. I want to see Mumbai too .' murmured Geeta
They knew they cannot force their bhaiya .He had already done too much for them. But then they did expect that their loving brother will listen to them.
****************
Waiting for a job interview. So it feels like this . As Saraswatichandra Vyas , a business tycoon , he did know how to take interviews , he had been used to it and he had always wanted the best..
So the one sitting inside too would like to have the best , wont they !
Fine Mr. Dev Shastri be ready with your new name for your first interview .He smiled at himself as his new assumed name was called for.
Hope u Enjoyed It
😊
