chapter 3

She kept driving and driving for almost an hour.

until the navigation system said "you have arrived your destination ". And she really had arrived at her destination.

it was at the outskirts of the city, A house, it was all broken. The roof was just soo weak, that a strong blow from the wind was enough to take it away. Th lawn was kept well, everything was mowed, every flower kept well, everything was perfect other than the wake old house.

she got out of her car and started to seek the old tree. And she found it way sooner than she expected. it was right infront of the house.

She walked towards the tree, behind the bark of the tree she found an envelope stuck. She pulled it out, when she opened it, there was a letter in there.

She opened it and read what it said.

"Dear daughter. if you are reading this thanks alot you came by. Now this house is owned by Mr.summer. He really is a good man who have fallen into bad days. You see, Mr.summer is the son of the richest businessman here, but....Mr.summer is the unwanted son of his. Even though, his neglected for the whole of his life, he has a burning passion to be like his father. A big business man. Because maybe he knows, that this cruel world wants nothing but money, fame and power. Daughter, may be this was the sole reason I became a rich person.

May be I thought that neglecting you could heal my pain. But all of it lead to bigger consequences, which I don't want to talk about right now. You would have inherited 1000000$ from me. you need to make a cheque of 500000$for this man. would you do that for me? please? because I know this man is going to spend his first self owned million into building an orphanage. And I am sure of it."

She closed the letter, took her cheque book out and made a check of 500000$ And signed it. She went to the front door of that house. She knocked it. "who's it?" came a voice of a young man.

"Amm, I am a stranger." She said. "And....I well my father, he was a rich businessman. He neglected me for the whole of his life. But now, I understand that it all was for a reason. I have also been through hard times as yours. And at that time I never considered to even go to my father and talk to him. May be he would have hugged me and said oh dear everything will be alright or he would have kicked me out as in your case." the man behind the door was in tears.

"well.." She continued with a deep breath "I mean, maybe you might have forgotten everything by now, it's good. But sometimes past can give your life a deeper meaning. my father left me some thing, that I inherited. And I am giving you a part of my inheritance. consider it as inheritance from a stranger. I have kept it on your door step. when I am gone, you can take it. ok? bye"

and she sat in the car, crying from inside and drove away a bit ahead of the house.

the man he opened the door, he found an envelope. it had a check, with bank details yet to be filled but signed and an amount of 500000$ written.

And a small paper which said "when you open your own company and earn your first million, open an orphanage first."

The man was all teared up and just kept repeating under his breath "thankeyou stranger."

She checked the system in her car for more messages, and there was one 5 days ago. She clicked on it. it said.

"Dear daughter, if you are reading this message than probably you have met Mr.summer. Now go back to the city, near the old conviction store. There would be a homeless women sitting there. give her the house you inherited from me. And she will tell you all what you need to know. after that go in the store in the candy section you will find my last note."
