FINDING HAPPINESS

-

 


        Mr. Bharathwaj was a great businessman. He was one of the top 10 richest people in India. Unfortunately, he has fallen ill and got bedridden. There arises a dispute, ‘Who’s gonna take his position?’ Mr. Bharatwaj has three sons and a daughter. Hari, the elder brother. Anwar, the middle brother. Prem, the younger brother, and Pari the Youngest of all, one and only daughter of Bharathwaj. Mr. Bharathwaj married Yasmin out of love. But, they got separated. Pari and Prem were living with Yasmin.

Mr. Bharathwaj called Hari and Anwar. ‘I want to spend my final moment with complete happiness. Find my happiness. The one who gives me complete happiness will take my position.’ He said. Both were doing many things to make him happy. Anwar presented him with his most favourite painting from Italy. Hari presented him with the brand new Rolls Royce. They both discussed and bought him a brand-new beach resort. All these attempts ended up in vain. Mr. Bharathwaj was not completely happy.

Anwar asked, ‘Hari bhayya? Can we bring mom and the other two here?.’ Hari replied, ‘Aree! Don’t be a fool. If the other two come here, they will be extra competition and tension for us. What will you do if dad gives them the company and business?’ ‘It should be either you or me. Not those idiots.’ Said Anwar. Mr. Bharathwaj was listening all this through the window.

The following morning, Mr. Bharathwaj touched the feet of heaven. ‘It was early in the morning. Such a peaceful death. Bharathwaj is really lucky.’ Said Mr. Peter, a friend of Mr. Bharathwaj. He was found dead in his bed holding their family album strongly into his hands. They also found a letter on his table.

‘I miss my complete HAPPYness. My final wish was to see my complete HAPPYness together’

There were traces of his tears on the paper. Anwar and Hari were filled with guilt and their eyes flooded with tears. ‘Sorry papa….’ They both cried aloud and hugged his body tight. Hari called his mom and said, ‘Let's stay together forever ma. His happiness was us, Hari, Anwar, Prem, Pari, and Yasmin.

Despite writing content and stories, she had great interest towards witchcraft and the existence of evil spirits. She has a dedicated room for her studies related to this stuff in her house. Not many people knew her interest towards demonic studies. But she had a friend who knew everything about her.       Bharath was a year younger than his friend Keerthi.

Dear Valentine

        Hey, have you loved someone? Yes? No? Okay. Never mind. No one can say that I’ve never loved someone. That’s coz, it obvious that we all have somebody in our life whom we love the most. It can be anyone or anything. Yeah, we can fall in love with things too. I think you can relate to this anything part I said if you’ve seen the bitter part of love. Here the love I mean is the love towards someone who’s magical to our eyes. Beautiful isn’t it? Being with someone who makes us feel special, who never fails to call us magical, yeah. That’s a phase of something great filled with excess dopamine and ecstasy. Fortunately, these both have some limits and they’ll drain out after sometime. Have you ever felt like, “I don’t have the same feelings for her or him like I used to have when we started talking?” Ever? Thought like this? Yeah I’ve gone through the same dilemma. But you know what? Loving someone or loved by someone even when there is no more dopamine or ecstasy is damn amazing. I

After clicking the publish button on the interface, she desperately wanted to close her laptop and doze off. But it was then, she noticed something strange on her screen. It was Instagram with a red dot on top of it. She clicked to open it. There was a message from someone called Javier.       ‘She’s coming.’      ‘7 nights and 6 days,' was the message from that person. She was too tired to think about that message. She just closed the lid of the laptop and dozed off to sleep.  The next morning,      The clock was running past eight and she was still sailing deep in sleep. It was then, her mobile started ringing so loud as it used to ring all the time. After a few rings, she realised it and woke up to answer that call. It was Bharath.      ‘What’s the matter? Let me sleep for some time,’ she said as soon as she answered the call.
