08. In Search of Love - Sandhya

Pooja’s life has had so many twists and turns that she couldn’t even count the number of twists she has experienced so far!

Life has been so very indifferent to her right from her childhood days...

In search of loveFrom her memory, she could still remember that big castle like bungalow, where she spent her childhood and teenage days... There were many servants… so many toys… Everything so very rich and luxurious! It looked as if life had offered her everything and anything that a kid could dream about… But it just looked so!

Her mother Charulatha made sure that she enjoyed nothing from that rich and luxurious bungalow… Though Pooja’s room had soft and comfy bed, her mother always forced her to sleep in the floor on a mat with an old blanket…

Though her father Murthy bought her many toys and filled her toys room, Pooja had never ever got an chance even to touch a single toy…

Her food, dress, and lifestyle everything was just the same…

She has seen and heard her parents argue and have verbal fights about her… But nothing has ever changed…

She could never understand the reason for the distance between her father and mother which had in turn made her suffer!

She used to cry for toys, candies and other kids’ stuff… But it has never shaken her mother… Charulatha has been so very adamant and has denied her daughter even simple things that even poor people enjoy.

There was no notable change even when her father Murthy died in an accident…

Not just at home, even at school Pooja faced a tough time… Though she was an average student, she never let any teacher complain about her… But that was not the case with her classmates… She had to hear other girls tease her dress, food, hair style and everything…

It was like a hell for her…

She hated both home and school!

She longed for someone who could just show affection towards her and nothing else…

The servants in her home treated her well but she knew that that was more out of sympathy than affection…

As days went by, Pooja realized that she will never get anything that she asks her mother...

It’s not just the matter of dress, cosmetics and comfort… Above all, she missed her mother’s affection… She has seen her classmates’ mothers being so very friendly and adorable!

Slowly, Pooja stopped talking to her mother!

She compellingly made herself alienated from her mother…

That was the first time she saw some signs of change in her mother…

Charulatha made attempts to patch up with her teen-age daughter… But that was so very late for her daughter!

When Pooja joined college and still refused to talk to her mom, Charulatha realized her mistake… She understood that her daughter needs someone to guide her and selected Prabakar for the task.

Though Pooja had seldom got a chance to meet Prabakar till then, she really liked him… She liked Pallavi even more! Pallavi was more of a friend to her than a relative.

Though Pooja was a bit reserved and quiet, Pallavi never let her stay away from them…

Prabakar also tried to change Pooja by showering brotherly affection…

That was the first time, Pooja had something to cheer in her life…

She finished her college and then started working in her father’s company which was managed by Rangasami. Ranga was very kind to her and taught her everything about the company…

Though Pooja still stayed away from now lonely mother, her life looked to fall into proper shape…

But when her mother suddenly died of heart attack, it took her some time to come out of the shock… They had never spent a single day as a mother & daughter… But still losing her mother so suddenly came as a big shock to her…

But one question still remained unanswered in her mind…

Her mother has always treated her indifferently... What wrong did she do???

She has seen Charulatha talking friendly to the servants and even to Prabakar… Why was she so very different only to her? Why does she hate her so much?

Pooja got the answer to her question atlast from Ranga…

Pooja opened her eyes… She knew that she doesn’t want to think about it again… She felt the pain in her heart again… She yearned to meet and talk to her mother…

Mom, if you could have just told me everything, I would have never let you die so lonely! I miss you so much mom… Can you hear me in heaven? Please stay with me… Help me to finish the task that you started…

Tears filled her eyes…

Pooja slowly wiped of her tears, composed herself and went to see her best friend NATURE through the window… There was a lovely garden in the house adjacent to her hostel…

There were so many flowers… But the roses were the main point of attraction…

Especially the red rose…

Automatically her first meeting with Nikhil came before her eyes…

They had met in a nursery garden… He had started to converse to her about plants and flowers…

Pooja liked roses and the red rose in that garden was so lovely that she couldn’t take her eyes of it…

She couldn’t help but express her thought!

“Wow! What a beauty!”

Nikhil who was standing next to her, looked at her face and the red rose for couple of times and has said,

“Yes this rose is lovely… But in the same place we have a more beautiful rose... Do you think I can admire its beauty, adore it and have it just for me?”

Pooja was startled...

Nikhil’s voice continued to echo in her mind as she kept looking at the neighbor’s garden…

If her broken relationship with her mother has spoiled her childhood days, Nikhil has spoiled her entire life!

But is it possible that just like her mother Nikhil also had some reason for what he did?

'What possible reason could he have to spoil a girl’s life other than he was just conned her for her money?' her mind scolded her…

Yes that’s true…

Though she knew Nikhil had no other reason other than cunningness and greediness, her heart still yearned for him…

Her heart has been searching for love for so many years…

Her father, her mother and now her husband… Everyone has let her down…

Will she ever find the love and affection that she’s longing for?
