Sravan looked at her mom's face for the one last time recollecting his childhood memories with his mom, their cute moments made him chuckle a second but the next moment his smile faded away when his eyes fell on her lifeless mother laying on wooden bed made his eyes blurr with tears which were forming repeatedly..
When he felt a hand on his back which is consoling "it's ok I'm with you" said Vicky in whisper to sravan..
He looked up one last time and shut his eyes tightly before letting the fire consume her forever..
Sravan was taken away by his relatives while Vicky stood there looking behind and turned to the flames.
There's no memories of me with you 🥺 even to remember..
There's no one else other than das who knows that you're my biological mother..
There's no single bonding between us yet why my eyes are shredding tears?
There's nothing left for me in this world.. No-one left with me whom I can tell mine..
Why this much punishment 😭😭 what was the mistake I did?
This much punishment that I can't even tell I'm your elder son who can atleast perform the last rituals!!
Am I a punishment or mistake of true love?The fire started burning more he was pulled back by a person..
You should have taken care Mr.. you can collect the ashes tomorrow, that person said to Vicky..
Vicky looked at him palely turned out taking few steps but paused..
He patted his right pocket and switched to the left one which made a crumble sounds.
His hand went straight into the pocket and took out a photograph of his mom and dad along with that a letter which was left by her late mother..He wanted to dismantle every proof of her past so that no-one can point on her character.. Even though it's wrong according to society norms! But the love between them is pure and one (Vicky's dad) sacrificed in guilt of making love to a married woman.. she always suffered throughout her married life..
Whatever happened is happened.. But a mom's love to her children is sooo pure.. But I'm not lucky enough to have it.. Even I lost my dad..
Now all I have is this photograph as memory of you two..
Throwing the letter behind letting it to burn Vicky left from there feeling like he's lost forever..
It's been two weeks since sisira got discharged from hospital.. Sravan started back his routine life after listening to Vicky's soothing words..
Bhai! I'm back.. let's have dinner I'll prepare yummy fish gravy, said sravan taking the fish he brought from market..
Ok Bhai! I'll be coming to home soon.. Take care.. Vicky said to Rajveer keeping his phone aside on table..
After changing his clothes, sravan walked back to kitchen and started his nalabheem pakam (nal Bheem skills in cooking we say in our language).
Thank God sravan got back normal.. If not until few days before he behaved as he lost everything. One side mom's death and other side sisira amnesia made him worse..
As I spoke to him to give some time for the things to get normal, and since then he started going back to bank and mingling with his friends everything made him brought back to his normal life.. Only thing Missing is his smile.. Even he smiles infront of me his thoughts, loneliness makes him keep awake all the night..
As his elder brother I wanted him to be happy and look after him.. I even need to payback the money he gave to me taking loan for my dad's operation..
So I should leave.. But will he withstand if I go? What would be his reaction listening to my appeal of leaving now?
Would he think I'm running away without paying him back? It's not a less amount to payback 25lakhs..
