Finding the Lost Souls (Watty 2018)

THE MEETING ✔

Wrote ftls after two months.
Don't know how it turned out.
Long chapter ahead.....

Appa please don't leave me.

I will not Ishu. Look forward and keep peddling.

I will fall Amma.

I won't kanna. Keep peddling. Look forward. You will be able to do it Ishu. Don't stop.....

Appa I can yes...I can ride a bicycle.

It's true that some memories can never fade, the memories are the timeless treasures which are meant to cherish forever. When she started learning bicycle from her Appa she was completely unaware with the fact that the fun she is having with him, will become a part of her childhood memory in future. Continued to admire the picture pasted in old album she flipped the page and her smile grew wider seeing the next picture, the grand wedding of her barbie.

Appa see Amma is not playing with me. Will you play with me?

What do you wish to play Ishu?

My doll marriage with this toy groom.

Hahahaha....leave your Amma, we will play this game and later maybe we will eat your favourite idlis and paysum as a part of feast.

Yes Appa. Thank youuu....we will not take Amma with us. Hahahaha.....

Ishita wiped the lone tear from corner of her eyes as the conversation held with her Amma and Appa just before her doll marriage, her mother knowingly teased her for not organising the function and how her father took her side and later they organised a grand feast on the occasion of her doll marriage. Continued to smile she flipped the next picture and her fingers glided through the old black and white picture, a beautiful picture of her and her mother along her thatha.

Vishwa, I want to see our Ishu as doctor. I don't want anyone to go through the pain I'm going, I don't want peoples to die just because the scarcity of doctors. I will make my daughter a successful oncologist.

Yes madhu, she will make you proud one day. My heart says that....

"I was so young that time but still I remember how Amma cried when thatha was on his deathbed and Amma took promise from me to work hard and become a doctor. Amma would be so happy if she was alive."

"Yes, you made her dream come true Ishita. You did." Raman whispered softly looking at the old pictures of his wife. He covered her with duvet and the couple snuggled against each other. Raman flipped the next picture, curious to know the reason behind the decked up picture of Iyyer's.

"It's picture from Amma appa fifteenth marriage anniversary. My past picture with her. We lost her after two day of their anniversary." Ishita replied in single go, her eyes refused to move away from her mother picture who looking absolutely stunning in red kanjivaram saree carrying her heart stealing smile. Raman equally loved his mother in law picture from her young days, Madhvi Iyyer looked another name of sophistication and elegance in the picture and Mr Iyyer looked young and healthy, a man carrying love for his wife.
