Mohan, an old man, about sixty years old, walked upto the river every morning. A florist saw him every day. Mohan bought a garland of yellow flowers every day.He took out a ten rupee note from the pocket of his faded pant and walked away without waiting for the balance. He sat on the same place, as if he was waiting for someone.This routine went on for years. He never spoke. Nobody knew when he left.This went on for years. One fine morning people found him sitting at the usual place, but no one went near him. When tte florist came, he imediately went near Mohan. As soon as he touched him ,he collapsed. He was no more. A crowd collected there. Some one stumbled upon his pockets in the hope to get some evidence of his residence. From his pocket a small handkerchief was found. When the knot was opened people found a photograph of a beautiful girl, and a diamond necklace. Only the river was a witness!!

ReplyDeleteI hope he is reunited with his love now, if she was claimed by the river earlier. He deserves a happy ending too :) Nice story, Usha ji.

He passed on without the knowledge of having secured the goodness of simple pleasures in life! Nice write Usha!
