Happy Birthday Stranger VI

Previously on Happy Birthday Stranger 

"Before my mom passed away, she asked me to find my brother. Actually I didn’t even know that I have a brother. She said that she had child before she got the divorce and he was a one year old baby, Will. She also said that after my father’s death, my brother was taken by an orphanage. These were the last words, which she had left for me.

Kabir and Annie came to the funeral. I said them about my brother. Rahul stayed with me and he volunteered me to find my brother.

After a month my mom passed, Rahul found the church where my mom and dad got married. We went there and it was a beautiful little town called Pine Valley. We went to the church and met the father, whose name was John. And he gave an address of the man who keeps the records, Francis. We went there and he gladly invited us in over a tea. He went to took the records, while we having our tea. He gave us the address of my father’s house. From the care taker of the house, we got to know that the orphanage was in the next town, Apple Valley.

Unfortunately our flights were got cancelled due to the harsh weather. Hence we stayed in the town for couple of days. Rahul and I had a great time together there.

We went to that orphanage and asked about the son of Paige Omsword, my father. They took a while to fetch details about my brother. They doesn’t had anything about him other than his name because he disappeared from that orphanage in a year. His name was William Omsword.

While we were on our way to the hospital were my brother was born, Kabir called and Annie spoke. I was really happy to hear her voice after a long time. After hearing her voice, I changed the plan. We drove all the way to the hospital where Annie is.

They were really very happy to see us. I asked Kabir to take a break, so I could spend time with her. She said more and more about Kabir and I’m really interested in knowing about him. He was nice guy and always smiling. We four of us really had a good time together.

After a long week in the hospital, Annie left us. She could have waited for another week. Because in a week, she would be his wife. Kabir and her parents made her eulogy. Kabir played his original song as eulogy. He worn the marriage ring to her while she was in the coffin and he made her his wife before she disappears from his eye for forever.

After Annie, Kabir buried his loss and his pain in the very deep of him and put a happy face. He always made everyone happy but not him.

It has been a year since Annie passed, Kabir never talked about Annie to me. He always kept that old Kabir locked himself.”

Stella heard the door knocking and opened it. On seeing Kabir at the door, she wrapped herself with in his arms and found the peace in it.

“Did you slept all night?” Kabir asked.

“Just hug tighter!” Stella said.

“It’s 8 in the morning” Kabir said.

“Little tighter Kabir!” Stella replied.

Kabir kissed her in her forehead. Stella felt complete. Her love for Kabir increased as she knows about him. Because he rarely talks about the past. She thanked Kanmani and Annie for giving him to her.

Kabir went to prepare the breakfast downstairs. Stella took Kanmani’s journal and went downstairs so she could do two thing at same time. Watching Kabir while he was cooking and know about him through Kanmani.

Stella started reading,

“I got a call from the care taker of my father house. He asked me to send the address, so he could send me the photograph of my brother and my father which he found while cleaning the basement. I sent Kabir’s address. Later that day Kabir invited me to be his guest at the café. I couldn’t forget that day in my life. Because I saw Kabir happy, a real happy. I actually saw the old happy him for a moment and I know why.

It’s quite a day and I got many important thing to do for tomorrow.” She turn the next page, it’s blank and the next page, it’s also blank. Stella was confused.

“Kabir, why these pages are blank?”

“What happened to her?”

“Did she find out who her brother is?” Stella keep on asking him questions.

Will Kabir answered them all

Thank you for spending time with me J
