Carrying fruits in her one hand and confused expression on her face vera was standing outside of a room wondering about something
" this door knob is not that beautiful for you to stare it for so long"
Her baba said from behind and open a door entering the room, while vera was still standing on the door
" agr ayi hi ho to and aake apne papa ko dekh bhi lo"
Vera: baba wo
She said with a expressions like she was caught red handed while trying to steal something
Baba: mujhe explanation dene ki zarrurat nhi hai vera, ajao
She walked in a room to meet the sleeping father of her father , she placed the fruits on table and sit on another chair beside his baba
Her baba: he is doing fine these days , he was not having mental attack either
Vera: hmm sounds good
She said in a low tone
Taking his father's hand in her
Baba, you know I had a weird dream last night
Baba: What kind of dream?
Vera: I saw that I was getting down from stairs and it was so easy, but when I tried to climb the same stairs I was unable to do so and I felt so heavy and I couldn't climb them again
That dream was so weird but I remembered it all day and I kept thinking about it
Her baba smiled
Baba: the meaning of dream is simple
Vera: what ?
The lines of curiosity get drawn on her face and she couldn't hide her urge to know what that dream could possibly mean
Baba: leave your past
Seems like you are holding your past for way too long and now it has become a burden on you so as long as you try to keep climbing the stairs of your already walked down path means your past you, you won't be able to live happily.
And I think that way too vera you should leave your past now and start a new life
Vera: I know baba, I am trying
She said in a tired tone
Baba: I am not only talking about him but rudra and prachi too
You should forgive them too
Vera: I am trying that too baba I am tired of all this too but everytime I look at their face they make me remember of that night , i
Baba: take your time but I think it's better to let go of poison than keeping it inside you are not lord shiva the longer you keep it inside you the longer it will hurt I didn't said you much back in time because it was helping you to achieve all the fire you were keeping inside you it was pushing you more towards your dream but now you have reached at specific point and if you will not stop that fire it will burn you soon too ,be rational and think rationally
Vera looked at him with her eyes widely open trying to catch his every words meaning more often she hardly understands what he try to convey her but the thing she knew is whenever she took his advice she never regretted it, she sighs heavily and nod her head positively
Baba: forget everything and give one more chance to you and to people around you may be things can turn better this time , well I have to go I got a meeting to attend you better gave him medicine before you leave miss lisa is busy today
Vera: but
Baba: I don't want to hear anything you are doing me this favour
And with that said he left the ward with vera sitting in front of sleeping figure of his father
Vera: should I really try once more
After few minutes she came out of ward after giving medicine to his father and met with a nurse outside his ward
Vera: excuse me
Nurse: yes?
Vera: can you tell me if someone has visit the patient in this ward , recently because he doesn't have any other guardian beside me but he was trying to tell me that someone was here to visit him
Nurse: nhi to
Vera: oh sorry than maybe I didn't properly understand what he was trying to say
And she was about to leave when that nurse stops her ,
Nurse: mam
Vera; ji
Nurse: hn inse milne koi aya tha or wo ek letter bhi chod ke gye hai apke lie
Vera: mere lie
Nurse: yeah wait a minute I'll bring that for you ap do minute wait kriye and she left
Vera: Who could be that person , who is visiting him ?
A thought cross her mind but before she can stretch her brain to come out with any possibility her phone starts ringing , before she could pick it up nurse came back empty handed
Nurse: sorry I think I misplaced it I'll call you once I will find it
Vera: ok no problem
She passed her a fade smile and came out of the NGO , she picked call and mohit was on other side
Mohit; mam ap kaha jo jldi ayo
Vera found her feet freezed at the ground as she guessed another problem on her way from the tone mohit was speaking
Vera: What's wrong , is everything ok? Why are you calling me at this time
Mohit: did I forget to tell you
Vera: What it's 9'0 clock what's happening, tell me?
Mohit: ahha mam aj mera birthday hai mai case ke chlte apko btana bhul gya mene sbko invite kia hai sb phunch gye hai bs apka wait hora hai
