Today I read a short story .the central character is a
matured girl working in multinational company .one day she helps an unconscious
person on the street and renders medical help at a private hospital and the counter girl asks; is he
your father? Then a flashback …
she takes the old man to her apartment and feels that the dead father has come to
compensate this way. The fact of the matter is the old man is indeed rich and the relatives snatch him way after some time not out of love but to get the signature on
the property documents.
By strange and pleasant quirk of fate our heroine appears on the scene and mediates when the old man
refuses to sign on dotted papers. Our girl succeeds to settle the issue by asking her share in the property as she too has saved him from death and looked after
for some time and bargains.
Guess what she could have asked? Appa /father!.when blood relations trivialize
love and want his property and keen on
abandoning him to the old age home , the girl who is virtually a bolt from the
blue, an unknown and outsider is so
passionate and craving for father’s love
and considers him as her property
share and experience bliss and get soaked in pure love.
Love is a source of delight and hence to be valued and the
absence of which is a source of pain.It is only after death of the close
relation we understand this simple truth. We can live in godless world but not
in a world where there is no love.
