The Memory - The Unknown Treasure

--------------------------------

Manoj is now bit relaxed. Atleast got a clue to know the facts behind the picture. He reched home and asked for a glass of water. Sonam came with a glass of water and feeling happy by seeing he husband happy. She always wanted to see Manoj happy. Now their children are too been busy with their family. Their son Kartik and daughter Punam both are doctor and after their marriage settled in USA .Now she and Manoj thought to come to their native and if all will go well then either will dispose off the properties or let it be utilised by their children. But now it seems there are some other properties of the family which are not known to them. Anyway Sonam gave a smile and left for kitchen to plan for dinner. Their old servant Bikas is taking care of all cooking and maintenance of the building.

The anxiety in Manoj's mind made him to get the other two folded papers and know about any other secrets.

He get them from the almirah and sat on the chair. He opened the second folded paper. He was surprised.......

That was a will made by his father....

Then he started getting pains inside. He was thinking about his father. Thirty years back his father Virendra Kumar passed away. That time Manoj was in Chennai and boarded the flight straight to Delhi and Sonam with children reached from Mumbai, all of them reached Gorakhpur by road. All the rituals were been done as per the tradition. His father Virendra was an independent-minded person. His whole life he had loved music and was busy in that. Several times Manoj asked him to stay with him, but he used to say that he likes to be among his friends and relatives here in Gorakhpur. Even Virendra tried to explain Manoj about family traditions, properties, etc, but Manoj was never serious and wanted to have his own life. That's the reason Virendra spend his last few years here alone and made a will. The will was just made one year before the death of Virendra.

The will has all the details in three parts. First the properties of Gorakhpur, which was in Manoj's name. All land and building of Gorakhpur were their paternal properties. The second part of the will was having the farmhouse of Morina, whose picture has made him very curious. The farmhouse property is been divided in three parts. The first part was saying that fifty percent will go to Manoj, ten percent to Haridas from only agricultural land. The rest one will be run by either Manoj or a trust, where a music school for poor people will be built. Free music teachings will be given. If Manoj can handle this then it's ok or else the advocate has to form a trust having consent from Manoj. This had further forced him to go back to his memories of past. During his schooling, when Virendra used to meet him in school, both of them used to have a full day together. Virendra used to say about his dream of opening a free music school for proor talented persons. He wanted to bring the unseen talents to the limelight. The last paragraph was further created some anxiety as it was mention that advocate Bijoy Kumar have all access to other peopwrties, whic can be only shared with his son Manoj.

Now Manoj was excited and opened the third folded paper. He was surprised to see the details there........ Somany things were there.... He could see the details of bank balance and a key of the locker of bank with details of list of gold and silver ornaments.... There Virendra mentioned that advocate Bijoy Kumar will help Manoj with his approach....

Now Manoj was feeling guilty of not being in constant touch with his father.... He was socked seeing his father's plan fir him... He started blaming himself for not taking his father's words seriously..... The tears are rolling down from Manoj's eyes. He started crying like a child. He was saying hiw much his father loved him..... How much his father cared for him...... He made his father helpless to do all these wills and to keep the papers for him in a safest place.......... Now for the first time Manoj felt that terribly he is missing his father....... He closed his eyes and started seeing the picture of his father saying him... consoling him with words to unfold "The Memory... The Unknown Treasure.... "
