 Stones, paper flowers and miracles!

tying together stones, paperflowers and miracles. 

The smell of paper flower and the weight of stone contain all three states in it. Stone which always remains in the same state, in the language of science, in which molecules remain connected with each other. Which remains the same in the properties of solid, liquid and gas. Paperflower or paper flower in which no smell is found. Which gives the touch of paper when touched, and is just like paper. Magic or miracle which every person wishes to have in his life. Incidentally, such magic happens with stone and paper flower.

To know all these things you should read this story.

A river divides Patthar
Patla City and Amis City. We have used this river and the three places before it earlier. This place is the same, this place has also been used in our previous stories in which Jaya and Varun, Kartik, Raman travel. Despite being in the same place, these stories are different. There is no inter-relationship between them.

There is a place at a short distance from Patla, i.e. two kilometers away from Amis and Patla City. Its name is 'Prus', i.e. it is a new place; after Patla, Amis. Prus is a small tehsil of our district.

Manikchand Kesuri Mal is a famous businessman in Prus. He is a paddy trader by profession and deals in buying and selling paddy. He is around sixty years old, fair complexioned, still has black hair, and usually wears white kurta and pyjama. This attire suits his personality.

There is no special insistence or interesting thing in Seth ji's life. Earlier, there was, when his wife was with him in the journey of life. But not now, she left him years ago. Since then Seth ji has been unwell. Seth Manik Chand has only two daughters, one of whom is married, and now the younger daughter- Shri is the life of her father. There is a lot of difference in the age of both the sisters. This is the only problem that keeps bothering Manik Chand. Why shouldn't it? Where, the elder daughter has settled down, and the younger daughter is still unaware of the world. Manik Chand is always worried about what will happen to his Shri after him?

It is not that she is less educated, more that she lacks understanding. Being a father, Manik Chand often explains these things to his daughter- Look, Shri, you should think about the world along with your work. But, as the old saying goes, what can new eyes see in old eyes? How can new things be seen in an old building.

To fill her loneliness, Shree has a dog named Gomu. This dog is special because it never forgets any person after seeing them once. Gomu and Shree have a very good bonding which can usually be seen between any animal lover. She has had Gomu since she was about 5 years old, when Gomu was also a small child. With time, both of them grow up. Shree does not know to whom she gave Gomu.

Shree also has the same problem, for which Manik Chand always thinks she has memory loss, which means she does not remember any thing, things, people for a long time.
Shree also tried different methods for this, like consulting doctors, timely treatment, etc. Everything proved ineffective, all these things do not have any effect on her. Shree's problem persists. Battling with all these things, Shree is now almost 17 years old; the problem persists. Manik Chand also cannot concentrate on his work much now. Most of his time is spent worrying about his daughter.
After all, what is he so worried about? Is it about his daughter's memory or is it about something else, which increases like a debt every day.

Apart from his memory, Manik Chand is also worried about his wealth. He has made his name in Prussia with a lot of hard work and effort. He does not want to let it go to waste. His dream is to divide all his wealth between his two daughters!
"But what is so worrying about this?"

This question was asked by his oldest watchman Raju. Raju and he both sometimes drink together. Raju dances in the same drink. He does not like English liquor.
"Are you having any problem, Raju?"
That is what I am asking. What is the problem?
"I am having a problem, my Mannu!"

She is your elder daughter, she loves you more than you. What problem can you have with her?
"That is the matter, Raju! I am worried about this, lest she usurps Shri's share of the property or his right!"
Raju, consoling, "Why do you think so, Sir, both are your daughters, and Mannu is quite sensible, so why do you think so?"

Manikchand finishes his talk in one sigh, "Look Raju, I have seen the world. Everyone in this world is selfish. Once they finish their work, no one asks about them again. You have not seen the world. I know Mannu since childhood. She will only use it and nothing else! A father only thinks about the welfare of his children. He also knows the behavior, conduct and thinking of the children very well. The tree understands the elements of the soil better than the tree.

Raju "What did you say, tree, soil, what is all this?"

Raju always gets drunk on a little bit of alcohol, today also he got drunk. First his words started faltering, then his eyes started dancing and finally he himself lay down on the ground.

Seth Manik Chand was surprised to see how someone can get so drunk. When he came a little closer to Raju, Raju was snoring. Now Manik Chand's mood was spoiled. He was about to leave from there when his mobile phone rang. He saw on his mobile phone that today's most interesting news had come. Seeing this news he got so excited that he drank the whole bottle of liquor and got intoxicated laughing next to Raju.

Paperfool-

The unknown place now started to look familiar. After many days, the sunlight is coming through the wall, piercing the glass of the window. With its new freshness, it is creating a warmth in the room. In this light, Shri is sleeping under the fan in the room. She has not gone to school yet.

Today, like every day, Shree got up from her bed. It had been only a few years since her father had passed away. Her memories had not completely faded away. She got up and looked for her Gomu, who was sitting right under her bed. Today he had woken up early, earlier than usual, but why? Well today...

It was the death anniversary of Seth Manikchand. Even today, Shree cannot believe that his father left this world so suddenly. What surprises him more than all this is the changed behaviour of his elder sister Mannu, who now shows a sense of alienation towards him. This is the reason why she misses his father more now, as his father always used to say.
Look, Shree, humans have more forms than clouds.

She is now able to understand this, along with this she finds one more thing strange that now she can hear many things, people and sounds even at 0 decibels. Which was strange, last night she was shocked to hear the sound of the stem of the plant kept in her room crackling.

She leaves all these things aside and goes to get ready quickly. She first gives Gomu a bath, then goes to take a bath herself. Somehow she washes all her wet clothes and puts them out to dry. Later she goes to comb her hair. While combing her hair she feels a pain in the left side of her head. When she touches that place with her hand, she feels a rough sensation. As if someone has stitched it! But who would do this to her?

and miracles...

Shree, have you seen Nepal? Manik Chand asked Shree after she returned from school.
Shree was surprised by her father asking her this suddenly, but she agreed the very next moment.

But what about my school?

Manik Chand smiled at this question, "You too, Mr." Along with this, a light smile was seen on his face after a day. Like the smile that comes to farmers when their crop seeds germinate. This smile was also similar to the smile that comes when one finds a highway by cutting through the desert of sadness. After this, Manik Chand kissed his daughter's head, his eyes were filled with tears.

Shri- By the way papa, why did you sleep with Raju uncle yesterday?
Shri had brought up the topic of last night, it was nothing son. Raju uncle was insisting on staying with him, so I stayed.
Both father and daughter started preparing for Nepal. Just then Mannu gets a call.

Manik Chand- Yes, Mannu, tell me son!
Nothing, father. I was missing you, so I called. By the way, everything is fine there, isn't it?
Manik Chand- Yes, everything is fine here, by the way, everything is fine there, isn't it? And Jamai Ji is great, isn't it?
Yes, everything is great. He has just gone to office. Papa has suddenly made a plan to go to Nepal, that too with Shri.
Manik Chand was not surprised at all by this- Yes, son, I will show Shri a little Nepal, now you can roam around everywhere, who else is there to take care of her except me?
Why are you saying this? We both are there for Shri, right? You both go for a trip!!

In the next moment Mannu calls someone and angrily says- I told you to tell me everything, but you drank alcohol and slept!!
The other person's voice was familiar- No, son, I made a mistake, you know that..
I know, I have been seeing since childhood, you get drunk very quickly. Raju, see if they transfer everything to that half-crazy person, I will become bankrupt, but you should forget about it too! Understood.

Hey son! That was a mistake. Raju started trying to save his 3 rupees. Is 3 rupees enough for a property worth crores? Mannu son, don't be angry, tell me and I will find out why they are going to Nepal.

There is no need for this. Wherever you go, all the property is mine and only mine. Nothing can happen to that mad man. I am afraid that my father might come to know about the trap we have laid.

So what to do now?

Right now, there is nothing to be done. Let them come, we will see them both again from Nepal.
Shri and Manikchand meet a doctor.

Doctor Mark Winn - A well-known brain specialist, recently he has invented a chip that can be implanted in the brain, which is called Chamatkar. However, it is still under experimentation.
Manik Chand learns from the news about Doctor Mark Winn that night that now it is possible. This is not the first time, many experiments have been done with the brain, the recent news of Neurolink being implanted in the brain had attracted people's attention.

As soon as Manikchand came to know about the news, he came to Nepal with his daughter, because Doctor Mark was going to stay there for a few days.
When Manikchand meets him, Doctor Mark clearly refuses. Why would he do this work? But he agrees to do this work, why? Because he had to try this experiment on any human being, and his own fame was also linked to it. If he succeeds, then it is his, what is his defeat in failure! In the end, before implanting the chip, he says one thing-

See the miracle is to restore the memory of an unhealthy person, remember it can only be restored. After this Shri will remember all the old things but I am not sure whether it will work on your daughter or not, this experiment was done on an adult person.

But the disadvantage is that it will affect that part of the mind even more, which is fine... like Shri's mind does not have any memory related problem. And it will fill too much memory, if the data is not filled in the mind naturally, then this memory may get damaged or it will blast.

He gets a little scared on hearing this, but he has no choice now, he knew that Raju and his daughter want to usurp his property.
Tell me one thing Doctor- Suppose the brain restores Yaddas and the memory also keeps working!
It is difficult for both of them to happen. Still if this happens then both will boost each other! We don't have more data than this. If
you say yes, then should I proceed further?
Manik Chand- I agree.

Both of them come home after a few days. They stay there for a few days because Shri needs some rest.
When both of them come home, Manik Chand is very surprised that there is still no improvement in his daughter. After this, he transfers his property in the name of his younger daughter and adds a clause that until his daughter tells the names of the last 20 generations of her entire family, and what happened in Nepal, no one will be able to take the entire property without her consent.

Manikchand dies of a heart attack in a few days, but Shree remains as he was. Mannu goes ahead to claim the property but she cannot go out of the will.
She has to keep Shree with her for public respect. She keeps him, but her anger has grown more in the last few years.
Along with the anger of her dream not being fulfilled, she has been making rounds of the court till now. But it has been of no use.
In the present time, everything, all the things were in front of Shree. The feeling of that roughness in her hair reminded her of everything.

Stay tuned to delve deeper into the mysteries of Final Quest and enjoy the journey with us! 🌟

Shree gets up from her room and comes down the stairs, Prus was also with her.
She sees that her brother-in-law, sister and Raju were sitting there. She goes to those three and says I have to go to my house.
Mannu- Shree this is also your house, isn't it! She tries to cajole him.
No, you didn't hear me, I have to go to my house. You have talked to the lawyer, now my lawyer will talk to you about me.
After this she leaves that house with Prus and comes towards her house.
