chapter 33

"Harika, I am feeling like something is fishy here" Varsha said while meeting her in her room. "What's wrong Varsha? I didn't get you" Harika asked in a confused tone."I'm not sure. But something is wrong with our institution" Varsha confessed making her shocked. "Varsha, I think you're having some misunderstanding. Don't think much. Nothing like that, take some rest. I think because of your continues duty you got much stressed. That's why you're thinking like this" Harika uttered in a soft tone."Maybe Harika. Let me take some rest. I'll meet you in the morning" she replied and headed into her bedroom. Harika too left her home after sending her to the bed."How was your day dear?" Harini asked when she called her. "It's great mom. Today I visited the nearby garden, they have renovated it. It looked so beautiful" she replied with a smile."Good! Had your dinner?" She asked with concern. "Yup mom, just now. How is dad? Is he still awake?" She asked."He is fine dear. You know what, nowadays his condition is getting more better. He is recognising several things from the past. Even today morning he asked about his parents" she said making Harika surprised."Mom, it's a miracle. I just can't believe it. Mom you're an angel. I'm dying to see you both" she squealed in excitement"No worries dear. We will meet soon" she promised making her more happy. She had a good sleep that night.Days passed quickly, everyday Harika noticed few changes in Varsha's behavior. In those days she seemed more tensed and Harika couldn't figure out the exact reason for her mood off."Varsha, are you ok?" She asked with concern. "Yes Harika" she smiled but that didn't reached her eyes."Where is Adhi? I didn't see him for last few days" Harika asked to divert her mood. "He went to meet his friends. He will return within two days. I think I already started missing him" she replied sadly which made her smile."Okok don't worry! He too will miss you and he will return soon" Harika said. "Harika shall I say something?" Varsha asked looking into her face. "Tell me darling" Harika smiled. "Why don't you give another chance to Harish?" she asked and Harika's face turned sore."I can't Varsh. He betrayed me, he cheated me in the name of love. How could I forgive him? He didn't commit any mistake to forgive him. Whatever he did for me was a sin, I can't forget those incidents easily" she replied from her heart."I can understand your situation Harika but I don't think that his love for you is fake. What he did was unforgivable sin but at the same time you both love each other unconditionally, just think about that. I know how deeply you loved him and I know the pain of separation too, that's why I'm asking you to give him another chance. Because I saw his unconditional love for you several times. Just think about it Harika, I don't know why I'm telling this now but this was running in my mind for several days" She said holding her hand. Harika doesn't have any intention to make her worry, so remained silent and talked about few random stuffs to divert this topic and to make her comfortable. She laughed wholeheartedly hearing Harika's jokes and Harika felt relaxed seeing her smiling face. "Varsha do you want me to stay here tonight?" she asked, "No dear, I can manage. You don't worry" She replied with a smile."Ok, then I'm leaving now. Already it's late" Harika said, "Ok think about what I said today. Sleep well, Good Night" she replied with a warm smile. Harika nodded and left that place.She left her home around 11, making sure that she will sleep well. She was confused a lot with Varsha's behavior.  Later she thought it must be because she is missing Adhi and washed off those thoughts. Harika called Harini once she reached her home. "Harika, there is a good news for you" Harini exclaimed making her excited too. "Tomorrow, me and your dad gonna meet you" she said making her jump in happiness. "Mom really?" she asked in unbelievable tone. "Yes dear" she replied making her more happy. "I'll be waiting for that moment mom" she replied and slept happily in eagerness to see her parents but never imagined that the next day would be a disastrous day of her life. Next morning she waked up around eight and completed her morning chores. When she switched on the TV, her eyes were widen and her legs got rooted in that place. She couldn't believe what she heard in the news and the pictures telecasting in the news channel stabbed her heart, tears started flowing from her eyes uncontrollably. At the next moment, she left her home and rushed outside to get a taxi. Thankfully she got one and she sat inside with her heart beating highly because of fear. She couldn't control her tears. She prayed that the news shouldn't be true and it should be a rumor.She reached the place in next half an hour and she found several people gathered there and few cops were investigating the people. Harika wept realizing the reality and that scene confirmed whatever she saw on Television was true. "How does it happened? God!" her heart screamed.Harika, with silent slow steps entered into the house. She found few cops in the living room, they were discussing about something but nothing went into her head. She slowly walked into the adjacent room and one of the cops stopped her."Who are you? You are not allowed to enter that room" He stopped her before she takes her next step. "I want to go inside, please allow me" she requested with tears. They said they have few formalities and forensic technicians are collecting the evidence. So we couldn't allow you inside. Please meet our officials and get proper permission before proceeding anything" he advised and Harika left that place to meet the officials.She requested them to allow her to see the body but they refused since they were not sure whether it was a murder or suicide. They doesn't want to miss any small evidence from the room, so they refused to allow anyone inside the room. They asked her to visit hospital for other formalities. She waited outside with tears, "God please make all these as my nightmare. I couldn't bear this pain anymore. Please wake me up from my sleep soon. Please God!" she mentally prayed. After an hour, they carried the body in a stecher covering it with a white cloth. Harika's eyes fell on the figure, her heart drenched by fear did not throb any longer. Everything around her faded away and her vision got blurred. Next moment she fell on the ground unconscious. Everything happened like a nightmare. Never in her dream she imagined those disastrous thing.  "Death is a painful truth, is what some say. I think Death is a foggy road, and we must get through that fog called life to finally see the clearing. It's yet another path to walk, and who is to say it will be our last?Life may be the beginning, but who is to say Death is our last path? What if Death is the middle of the story, and you have to read through that to get to a place beyond death? Is there a place beyond death?But if we go onto the next path after death, will it be our last path, or are we fated to keep walking?"..Hi friends,Thirty second chapter of "Miracle of my life" is updated.
