"Home is where heart is ."

Oh common maa, its just an old wretched building. Our home is in city now and moreover I can't leave my work and visit you every now and then and you are too old to take care of this place. Moreover, I want money to invest in my new hotel business. That is why, I have sold this house....and you are shifting with us. No more arguments. Its better you pack your things as we will be leaving tomorrow morning.', Samar spoke to her mom in an assertive tone, got up from the sofa and went back to his room followed by his wife Shyna.

Karuna was left alone in the room feeling nostalgic and crestfallen.

This home was her heart, her soul. She had settled here forty five years back when she got married to her husband. It was just a two hundred square feet building then. With her love, affection and eternal love.....she turned this house into a home.

Every corner of her home had a memory attached to it. Memories of her first step in the house after wedding, of her husband's unconditional love, of her becoming a mother, of her son's first day to school, her husband's promotion, of all the celebrations they had...be it festivals or birthdays.

This home is where her love resides, memories were created, friends always belonged, and happiness never ended. This home was where her husband took her last breath. She could do anything to stay here but..........she had to leave. She had to leave her home, her paradise.

With a mournful heart, despondent look and tears in her eyes, she got up and went to her room for packing.

'Shyna, didn't you wake up mom? We have to leave in an hour.', Samar asked his wife.

'Oh Samar! You know your mom. She is so stubborn, she won't leave with us without creating a scene. I knocked her door twice but she is too annoyed that she didn't respond. Uff...I can't deal with her tantrums. Its better you go and tell her to get ready.', Shyna said to Samar in a complaining way.

Samar got up from the chair in anger and went to her mom's room. He knocked the door but she didn't reply.

'Oh Mom, common. We had already talked yesterday. Don't behave like a kid. Just open the door. We have to leave in an hour and I can't be late to work.', Samar was loosing his patience.

He knocked many a times but Karuna didn't open the door. It was the end of Samar's patience. He pushed the door and opened it forcefully.

He was aghast to see her mother...........

Lying peacefully on her bed with the keys of her home in her hand and a content expression on her face.

She for sure couldn't continue living in this house but........

Could at least rest in peace here.
