dad's wish

Raghav is a middle-aged accounts manager for a government firm. Raghav lives with his wife vasanthi, 8 year old son and his loving father murthy . Except for his spectacles, Raghav looks as a new fashioned guy. Raghav is neither an orthodox nor a heterodox guy. Raghav is not a planned guy, never keeps an eye on future. Until the things surround his head, never takes care of them.
One Sunday early in the morning, murthy speaking to raghav,
Son, can you take me to temple today and spend some time for 2 hours there with me and lets arrange food for poor people today
Pops, but I have promised to take my wife and child to ocean park today and from there to movie. You are also coming with us
Son, I am sorry to disturb you, but I want to do it today
Vasanthi sighed to raghav, let’s go,
Murthy was happy to see the gesture of his niece,
Voice from the back, dad, your papa want to go to temple, you and your wife happily accepted, but what about me.
Vasanthi to kid, forgive us for today dear, we will go next time for sure. Common get ready lets go to temple.
Young fellow, not convinced, it took them one hour to convince this fellow where atlast they offered him a movie for that day.
While coming out from temple, raghav to murthy,
Pops, it seems it has become tough for you to walk, let’s go to a shop and buy a walking stick
Son, it’s time for me to take a break, drop me at the home and take your lad to movie, don’t waste time. and more over, I have got one another desire, after my death, never complete rituals partially and leave them like that. I am a very tough guy.
Pops, for god sake, don’t use such words, come lets go home
Raghav went for a movie along with his wife and child, enjoyed the movie and came home
For his surprise, murthy is dead, raghav’s loving dad is no more. Raghav is weeping, but something more than his dad’s death is revolving around his head, his dad’s words, he don’t understand how come his dad predicted his death. It all completed, rituals were done and it is over.
It was an audit time, raghav being an accounts head had to spent much time, security came to raghav
Sir, its 11.00, I am sorry to say, I have to take break.
It will take another 40-50 minutes to complete this work, if you think, it’s time for you to leave, please take break. I will be early to office tomorrow and I will get the office keys with me early in the morning
Thank you sir, I am moving
Raghav was working alone, he is filling the book with his blue ink pen. Suddenly power is down and raghav dropped his pen and started thinking, how come his dad predicted his own death. Suddenly a scream from back trembled raghav. He pushed all his documents and chair back and turned back to see what it is, for his surprise, its murthy, he is weeping and saying raghav, you fool what I said and what you did
Raghav made all his nerves strong and said, pops what are you doing here?
Weeping sound became louder and louder. His nerves become week, he started screaming leave me, leave me for god sake, I have a wife and son. Please leave me. Sweat came out of raghav’s body. He is running, pushed the water filter. He is struggling for his survival. Suddenly power is on, raghav gave a long breathe. Packed up everything and left office
Vasanthi, what we haven’t done to pop, why was he weeping and saying, I did something wrong
Raghav, it must be your inner feeling, pop is no more, anyways lets approach doctor regarding this dear
Raghav and vasanthi approached doctor,
Doctor, what went wrong with me, I adore my dad, I did a lot for him, I never refused to satisfy any of his desire. When I am single, I can listen him weeping, saying something, something is wrong with me now-a-day
Raghav, your pops death might have come as a sudden surprise for you, am I right
Yes doctor, but
Raghav, nothing to fear about, we understand as we see many cases of mental and emotional disorders here. I can give medicines for a course of time and I suggest you coming here for regular treatment for a month time.
Raghav has undergone treatment and he is fine now. Everything went happily for 3 months. After that, one day, raghav was feeling bad and couldn’t go to office on that day. Vasanthi went to market to buy vegetables and his lad to school.
Raghav woke up from bed, took coffee and went to bed again. Raghav went into a deep sleep.
Raghav can hear somebody whispering around him, he was good and was just feeling bit lazy in the morning.
Am I dead? If yes, then why am I able to hear all these voices. If not, why are they talking like that? Suddenly a voice broke out. Come to me my son, raghav turned
Pop, you again, what are you doing here, why are you behind me. I said you something, you couldn’t complete it and now you are here. You will never be able to complete and I will stay here forever, you fool, you are killing me after my death. But pop, what is that I haven’t did and how come I am dead. Suddenly another voice shouted, common get up raghav, common. Raghav opened his eyes, its vasanthi
It happened again dear, what the hell is wrong with me?
They approached doctor again,
Raghav, what did your pop say,
Doctor, he is saying, I couldn’t do something as per his wish
Raghav, can you recollect something you couldn’t do to your dad
Doctor, I did everything, except on the last day, I could not do some rituals which my dad reminded me even on his last day
Raghav, spiritual writings and sayings are not to see and listen. They are meant to be followed. Common thing for me and you is performing spiritual rituals properly. It affects you and me both badly. Doctors found unique solution for many diseases but never tried to edit spiritual writings and never expressed negative thought about them. Please do follow them all and perform all of them properly and come to me in case of any problem.
After an year, on a Sunday, raghav was reading a book, a sudden voice came from behind, raghav was really shocked and to his surprise, it was his little lad and wife playing with him. He took his wife and lad into his hand and spent a happy life as before from there
