Snigdha Old Age Home
He let out a sigh as he looked at that board again.He couldn't believe the fact that Vineet ,his very own son,had abandoned him at this old age home 6 months ago. He weeped silently as he remembered the discourse between Vineet and his (Vineet's) wife Divya -
Vineet with his wife Divya
Vineet-"Oh God Divya,that old man is just getting me sick in the head.Everyday he throws a new tantrum . He has to interfere in every damn decision of mine.He is not even letting me go to London,as he is afraid to be left alone here.You know what Divya,I am just fed up.I have found info about a good old age home in Delhi.Lets do one thing, we'll leave him there . We'll pay for his expenses.However much it may cost us, it'll at least be better than tolerating that burden"
Divya -"But he is your father Vineet.How can we simply abandon him like that?"
Vineet-"Oh please keep your lectures to yourself.Stop this pretence of being an ideal daughter-in-law.Do not forget,I am doing all this not just for myself,but also to fulfil your dreams of settling abroad.So kindly let me tackle things my way.The old age home is a good place.I have investigated thoroughly into it.Ever since Mom passed away,he has been very lonely.He will find company there and will be happy to share his life with people of his age.All facilities are available there.He won't face any problem there.But the main problem is I don't think that obstinate oldie will agree so easily.We need to chalk out a good plan".
Vineet and Divya were unaware of the fact that another person had eavesdropped their conversation.
He was none other than his father Shravan Malhotra,an old man of 63 years of age.He was heartbroken to listen to his son referring to him as a burden and decided to quitely agree to him as he didn't want to trouble him anymore.
It's been 6 months since he was at Snigdha Old Age home.And not even once did his son visit or even call him.Shravan had realised that he would have to spend his last years of his life alone.
