Next day we all woke up.
I served the breakfast and started eating it.
"So, what about the story??" Adam asked.
"We will continue with it but before that let's complete our daily office work," I suggested.
"Yes, nice idea. So our work will be completed in about 3 hours. So, we will reunite at 12 noon," Radhana continued.
"Good idea. So, we will execute this plan only," Ryan confirmed.
"Yes, sure,"said Matthew taking a sip of coffee.
So, everyone left for the work. As, we were on holiday, therefore we did our work which does not require to go to office, like, arranging papers in files, mainting records, presentations etc.
As our work was finished, we started gathering in the hall.
"So, let's continue with the story," Radhana said.
"Guys wait,let me take a sigh a relief," Matthew chuckled.
"Ya, ya sure. But before that can we have a glass of water. As I was working for too long, therefore I have not taken even a drop of water," Ryan demanded.
"Okay, okay. No need of any explanation. I am bringing it," I said.
"Ya, please."
After having a glass of water, Ryan said that now, he was ready to continue the story.
"Ugh!!! Now, I got relief," Matthew said, taking a sip of water.
"So, now continue," Radhana said, carressing her hair.
"Ok, so may I continue," Ryan confirmed.
"Sure," Matthew chuckled.
(Flashback)
Sun rose and the sun set. One month was passed like this. I was unable to divert my mind. Whenever, I would think of my and Matthew's last met, I burst into tears and declard myself as the culprit as because of me, our brotherhood came to an end.
One thing, I was still unable to understand. Like a plant cannot stand without root, there must be a reason on which the fight is standing till now?? What was the reason?? You can say, I was dugging the soil to search that root of the plant.I will do the needful to know about it.
I approached my father.
"Daddy, please don't take it otherwise, but I wanted to..." I was unable to complete as I was interrupted by my father.
"I understood. You want to know about the fight. I was knowing that you must be having questions roaming in your mind that how did it start. Can I bring it to an end and all that....?" Am I correct??"
I gave a wierd look which said YES.
"Let me tell that I will tell you the story only on one condition," he said.
"What??" I asked.
"You will not do anything to sort it out. I mean... you will not take any step regarding it without my permission," he said.
He started without listening to my answer as if he was sure that I will agree. I didn't interrupt by saying yes or no or anything else.
"You can say that he considered me as the offender but I was innocent. I have always told you that my grandfather died an unfortunate death. Haven't I???"
"Yes."
"So listen.
A long ago, after completing my college, I got the oppurtunity to go to Bangalore for job.
I consulted it with my father and he also agreed with it as he had never stopped us for our studies. But Mangesh wasn't happy.
I didn't knew the reason whether he was jealous or sny other reason was there.
I left for Bangalore. I was too emotional and was waving from the window of the plane.But unfortunately, as soon as my plane landed, I got the news that my father was suffering from severe illness.
It was my fortune that when I came back to Mumbai, I was able to see him at his last 10 minutes.
I saw that he was unable to breathe and Mangesh who was very tensed, was lying by his side.Mangesh was very angry. He came towards me in anger and said:
" How dare you?? You did this intentionally. You wanted father's property and so you gave some medicine kind of thing before leaving, and then you left so that you are not accused for it,"
"But I will not let this happen. I will not let you capture his property. Now leave," he shouted.
But father's last expression was unbelievable. He did actions and told me that not to give the property to Mangesh and then broke his breath.
I burst into tears. But Mangesh has not noticed it and said:"I will take the property. Don't show all this drama to me by crying and all this."
I was speechless. I pointed towards my father. Then Mangesh noticed, that.. that... he was no more.
I left the place, still crying.
After that, I had made several attempts to fulfil the last wish of my father but was unable to.
I still haven't understood that why did father give such an expression because I was confirm that I have understood his actions correctly.
I regret that his last wish wasn't fulfilled till now also.
Now you know everything. Please leave," he ended.
"Yes,"
I left from the place.
(Present time)
"Such an emotional one," Alex said
"I thought that no one can make me cry but today...""O please!! It will be such an emotional one, I didn't even think," Radhana said.
"You are crying after listening to it only. Imagine, we have experienced it," Matthew said.
"You will be more emotional after listening to the outcome," Ryan said.
"What did you do further," I asked.
"You will come to know soon," Matthew chuckled.
