Anurakthi - Episode 2
I saw a letter On the desk. I felt like not picking it up but I picked it up. I started to read the letter...
Hi,!My dear friend. I am a tenant here. Living for a few days and I love this place. I spent most of my time in the last few days here. I hope you love this place. I have friends here, one is Jojo a sparrow that comes regularly to meet me another friend is Bio, which is a rare cactus plant. I request you to take care of them at least until I return from my journey. I wish you have a great day.
Thank you...
David Harrish.
It is weird. How can you write a letter to someone whom you don't know? I feel requests are simple, so I will do according to his wish.
Days are passing very fast. I am enjoying it here in Mangalore especially in this house with Jojo and bio.
One day I am getting ready for the job. I heard someone knocking on the door. A person is in front of the door. He asked for a person called David Harish. I said, no! David is not here. I am a new tenant in this room. He said please call me when he returned to the room. He gave me his phone number and is leaving the place. I wanted to know about the person in the letter maybe I can know from this person I called him inside and offered him tea.
I asked, who are you? why did you want to meet Harrish?
He replied, my name is Ranjith. Harris changed my life. I asked him
to explain to me clearly. I was a thief. One day I was injured and fell unconscious somewhere after robbing a house. Then the Harrish picked me up and brought it to the room. He treated me and told me to take a rest until I get to recover. He did not ask me anything. I felt he didn't know that I am a thief.
One day after a week. He took me to a few places. We met a beggar. Harris told me that he begs for the whole day and spent only what was required. The remaining amount is donated to the orphanage.
Then, he took me to a factory. We met an old man. Harish told them he is working hard for his family. But he does not have a blood relation with them.
Finally, he took me to an orphanage. we met a few physically challenged and mentally challenged children there. We spend some time there and return to the room.
He told me those people chose to live for others even though their situation is worse. "life is not which you live for yourself but life is something which we live with others".
He gave me 10,000 rupees and ask me not to rob any house for a week. He told me to use this money to live and start a new life. He asked me to think once about this.
After his words, I realized my mistakes and change my mind. I used only 2000 from it and donated the remaining amount to the orphanage. I started working in a factory and helping others.
But after that time I was busy with my work and not got time to meet him today I came to meet him and thank him for everything.
Ok, thank you for your tea. I have urgent work please call me when Harish Returns.
