Stories and all! Madman and the Doctor
It had been raining non-stop since
two days. The city hadn’t seen this level of rains in the last 20 years. There
was water everywhere. Did the sky lose something so precious that it was crying
non-stop?
Anand wasn’t aware of this storm
outside. He was wearing a black raincoat that fell till his ankles but yet he
seemed to be totally wet. But he wasn’t aware of it either. He was sitting on a
bench under a tree by the side of the road. The lamp post shed its light on the
dark street. He didn’t know what to do. He had lost in all in business. There
was no way he could survive this loss in his business. How could he face his
wife Priya and his two kids? They would be homeless – all because of him. Yes,
this was the only way to this problem. He had to end his life. There was no
other solution to it. He closed his eyes and rain washed away his tears that
rolled down his cheeks.
“Excuse me!”
Did he hear right? Was there
someone out there too in this rain? He opened his eyes half doubting his
senses. He saw a tall gentleman in business suit standing in front of me. He
was surprised. He didn’t know this gentleman and yet he was talking to him.
“Hello! I am Muragappa of Murugappa
group of Industries. I would like to invest in your company. Here is the cheque
for Rs.25 lakhs. I’ll meet you in a year” so saying he left giving Anand that
cheque.
For a moment Anand couldn’t believe
his eyes. He looked at the cheque. It was genuine. It was correctly dated and
signed. That gentleman sat in a car which was a little away from that bench.
Anand was thrilled. All his problems could be solved by this one cheque. But on
second thoughts, if Murugappa believed in him, there really must be something
in him that could bring back his company from abyss that it was in to its glorious
past. Yes, he wouldn’t encash that cheque now. He knew what to do. He got up
and left – now his steps were hurrying taking him towards his success. He
couldn’t wait to meet his family. He embraced tomorrow with renewed spirit. He
couldn’t wait for things to fall in place now! He hurried towards action that
would save him and his company.
