I found a old man inside the cottage… he was sitting in an old easy chair and relaxing<BR/><BR/>To my surprise the old man was the one who asked us not to buy the cottage… as soon as I saw him my faces turned red… I yelled at him like anything… that old man was in a embarrassed situation and did not speak out anything…. <BR/><BR/>At that time an old lady came out of the kitchen… she was with tears in her eyes…<BR/><BR/><I> now Anand stopped the car in the toll plaza got the ticket and drove further and continued telling what happened after that <BR/><BR/>Anand Continues….<BR/></I><BR/><BR/>I was really shocked when I came to know that the couple lived in that cottage for more than 30 years…. And they have lost their only son before 30 years in an accident…. After that accident they spent all the money which they had to build that beautiful cottage outside the city so that they can spend their remaining life peacefully… but before a couple of years a Politician tried to acquire the land in which the cottage was built and do some real estate business there… the old man was not in a situation to fight against that Politician in this age…. So the old man decided to cheat the people who come there to buy the land…..<BR/><BR/>I felt pity on them and I paid money and got that cottage from that politician and gifted the cottage to that old couple….<BR/><BR/>Now Anand and Aditi reached the cottage…. Aditi was happy to hear what Anand did… and the old couple welcomed Anand and Aditi with a gr8 smile in their face…. They felt as if they have got their son back (as Anand)…<BR/><BR/>They both decided to spend money to renovate the cottage and clear all the wild trees, and also decide to spend all their vacations in the cottage with the old couple… <BR/><BR/><B>After 3 Years </B><BR/><BR/>Now Anand and Aditi are travelling in their BENZ S class car with Abi (their kid) to the cottage to meet Abi’s grandpa and grandma (Anand’s adopted dad and momvasanthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946049267927079620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359515.post-1143830189906667412006-04-01T00:06:00.000+05:302006-04-01T00:06:00.000+05:30It seems to be so cold ever before they had experi...It seems to be so cold ever before they had experienced in thier life and they went near the shores of ECR beach and Anand and Aditi sitting next to each other wetted their legs in the cool water.<BR/><BR/>In the moon light her face was gliterring and her hairs flew away while she was resting on the shoulders of anand there was a sound which came from that cottage which scared them highly but anand manged to go near helding the hands of aditi .They peeped the window to their suprise it was the voice from the tape recorder and it was near the old man who is deep in his sleep.<BR/>Both of them were really shocked and came back next morning with the patrols to getted that man arrested and they did that and from his statement they came to know that all was his plan to get a place for his living and for his family too.

The best thing you've got to do now is to go and comment on all famous IndiBlogs, helping yourself to get recognized. You are sure to mark your identity as a good Metro/Indi female blogger.<BR/><BR/>BTW, expecting the original climax. Though early to ask, can't resist how you would have framed.

They were indeed! Adding to Anand's excitement, he could now hear some distant sound of the cuccos in an utterly deserted neverland. He knew his dear wife would be even more scared than himself. Before even he could turn around and share his feeling with his wife, the unexpected happened. She came near and whispered "Darling, don't you hear the sound of birds !". <BR/><BR/>Anand now half mindedly, vaguely remembering his whereabouts yelled, "But where can the sound come from ?"<BR/><BR/>"Look out of the window Darling" came the sweet voice of Aditi, standing besides the day dreaming Anand with a hot morning cup of rich smelling Coffee. "It has been 2 years since we are living at this Dream Paradise and you still have scary dreams !".<BR/><BR/>Pushing the Coffee cup towards her husband,who gracefully accepted it, Aditi rushed to pick up crying Akshayaa, their 8 months old daughter.Srinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022904967466208988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359515.post-1143802878181009212006-03-31T16:31:00.000+05:302006-03-31T16:31:00.000+05:30@ Deepak, Thanks for your comment. and welcome to ...@ Deepak, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment. <BR/>and welcome to my blog. <BR/>By the way, even i am particularly fond of those lines by Robert Frost..Maybe unconsiously,deep down it influenced me :)Prathiba Venkatesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003736577140418579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13359515.post-1143802551181147142006-03-31T16:25:00.000+05:302006-03-31T16:25:00.000+05:30Perhaps, my guess could be, the cottage might have...Perhaps, my guess could be, the cottage might have disappeared, since East Coast Road is getting evacuated and real estate value significantly dropping, thanks to the TSunami Tidal Tragedy of December 2004.<BR/><BR/>But I think, cottages such as these, are not for permanent settlements for normal life other than an occasional rest and relaxation. <BR/><BR/>It does make an interesting reading though.
