Nirupama-17


NIRUPAMA

(Some Secrets May Better Remain Secrets Forever)

'I cannot bear this', 'I want to pluck my eyes out' only these two sentences were the clues which the late girl Nirupama left in writing one on a wall and one in a book quite unintentionally and involuntarily to know about the reason for her committing suicide. Her father Ranganath, detective Smaran and his niece Menaka along with Nirupama's friend Sukanya pretty well understood that Nirupama did not want the said secret to be known to anyone else. But since her father Ranganath hell bent upon knowing about the said secret, detective Smaran and his niece Menaka ruthlessly investigated the matter only to unearth the said ghastly, shocking and astounding secret which the dead girl terribly wished to keep only with her in her grave forever.

"You both go into Menaka's room and enjoy yourselves there. Once you come down I treat you with coffee and tiffin." Nirmala said.

"Don't bother yourself preparing anything for us." Madhuri said. "I have taken something before coming here and I am not feeling any hungry at all."

"It is not so. First you both go up and come down. I shall decide whether to give you something or not." Nirmala said.

Then Menaka led her mother into the upstairs room.

"Strange lady. I just cannot think that she is mad. She is appearing alright in all respects to me." Once Menaka and Madhuri settled in the upstairs room, Madhuri said.

"No one can think that she is mad and in one way she is not mad at all." Menaka said. "What is the only peculiar thing in her is, she is imagining that her daughter is still alive."

"Very sad and astonishing! I never have seen something like this till now in my life." Madhuri said with surprise.

"Mom, you know one thing? That girl Nirupama committed suicide in this very room itself. She hanged herself to this ceiling fan with her chunni."

"My god! What you are saying? And you are staying in this very room itself!" her eyes became wide. "Are not you feeling odd? Are not you scared?"

For a moment Menaka thought to say about her experiences to her mother. But she felt fear that her mother would become too much fearful and compel her to leave that house, so she preferred not to say about that.

"No mom I am hundred percent alright here. I am feeling quite normal. Just because one common girl committed suicide in this room, do we feel fear to stay here?"

"May be you are right, I cannot say. But if I were you I would not at all prefer to stay here." Looking around carefully Madhuri said. Then the photograph on the wall caught her eyes.

She got off from the bed and went near to the photo. "I think this girl is that Nirupama."

"You are right mom." Menaka came near to her mother and said. "This very girl is that Nirupama. This is the girl who has committed suicide and made me stay like this in this room."

"Beautiful, really beautiful" Madhuri said. "I thought you are the beautiful girl until this moment. But seeing this girl I have changed my opinion. She is the most beautiful girl."

"I agree with you without any reservation." Menaka smiled and said.

"What the bloody reason that made this beautiful girl to commit suicide?" Madhuri said.

"That is what I want to know and engaged the services of your brother."

Hearing that voice they both turned back. Ranganath stood there.

"I am very sorry. I should not intrude into your room like this." he apologized.

"Not at all. It is your room and this is your house." Madhuri said. "I am really very sorry that it has happened to you like this. Your daughter must not have done like that at all."

"Everyone is feeling just so." Menaka said.

"Come we three go there, sit and talk" Madhuri said leading towards the bed there. Menaka and Madhuri slumped on the bed and Ranganath made himself comfortable in the chair near to that bed.

"My brother and Menaka told about you both to me. I just cannot restrain myself to come and see you both. My heartfelt sorry once again to you."

"It is indeed your greatness that you have decided to come and see us." Ranganath said. "But nothing on the earth change what has happened."

"Exactly. I am going to say what you have said just now. We cannot undo what has been done. As it is so....." she paused for a moment and then said "You must come out of your grief."

There was no answer from Ranganath.

"At the same time you have to take your wife out from her grief.

Ranganath smiled sadly. "Are you thinking that my wife is worrying for anything? She is very happy imagining that her daughter is still alive. I am feeling bad as I could not imagine myself so."

"It is not so. That happiness is not true happiness. In my opinion she should not be left imagining herself so." Madhuri said.

"What would be the good in taking her out of that imagination by force? Why do we make her realize the scorching reality? At the dawn of her life, what she is going to get becoming fully sane? Let her be half mad like that and be happy."

"But Niranjan uncle is saying that she is forcing herself imagining so and deep inside she knows the truth." Menaka said. "In my uncle's opinion deep inside of her she is troubling and suffering."

"If it is so, is there any necessity to take her out of her imagination? She herself knows that she is imagining."

"Quite peculiar indeed" Madhuri said. "I cannot express myself so but this is not the way. She should not be left so and you should not remain like this."

"I am alright. There is nothing needs to be done for me."

"Anyone can say how much you are worrying and how sad you are by looking into your face." Madhuri said. "You must come out of that sadness."

"That is not possible at all. The only hope of our life has gone away. Seeing what I have to live now? The same applies to my wife also."

"I just don't know what to say." Madhuri said. "But I am feeling a lot for you both. I am ready to give or do anything even for a little happiness for you couple."

Menaka looked surprisingly into the face of her mother. Her mother was a materialist and always pragmatic. What indeed made her talk like that she could not understand.

"If it is so and you are feeling like that towards both of us please let your daughter stay with us as long as possible. I am feeling just like my daughter is with me while I am with your daughter. My wife is also feeling just like that I think."

"As you wish it sir. My daughter is going to stay with you people as long as you want her with you. I am giving you my word." Madhuri said.

"Really, really I am feeling very happy on hearing this." Ranganath said. There was some happiness on his face then. "I do go down and see what my wife is doing." He got off from the chair and went downstairs.

"Mom why you became that much emotional? I never have seen you like this before." Menaka asked her surprisingly.

"You are right. It is indeed very first time that I have felt myself like this. I just cannot control myself looking at this old couple. I have decided so strongly to help them in some way or the other."

"So you have no objection for my staying in this home now."

"In before also I did not object to that at all you must remember." Madhuri said. "Yes, now I am even more firm that you should stay in this house. We have to do whatever in our capacity to make this old couple happy."

"I am seeing a new mom in my mom on this day." Menaka kissed on her mother's right cheek.

"Its alright. Ever that old woman came into this room after you have settled in this?"

"Not even for once." Menaka frowned and asked. "Why did you ask like that?"

"That old man came here but that old woman did not come at all. Is this is just casual or anything particular stopping her from coming here?"

"I cannot say. There may be memories regarding her daughter's hanging body here. She was the first person who found her daughter hanging from the ceiling fan in this room. That was sudden and without any expectation."

"Horrible! How anyone can cope with something like that? There is no surprise that she became mad like that."

There was some silence between them both then.

"Mom, shall we go downstairs now. The old woman may be waiting for us with snacks and tea." Menaka reminded her.

"You are right, come." It was Madhuri who led her daughter down then.

"I think you both enjoyed yourselves in my daughter's room." Nirmala was ready with coffee and snacks on a tray by the time Madhuri and Menaka came down.

"Your daughter's room is very nice. She kept it in good shape and condition."

"At present it is your daughter who is keeping it like that." She handed over the tea and snacks to both of them. Menaka and her mother settled themselves in the chairs there.

"I want you to visit our home again once my daughter comes here. You really do like her a lot."

Menaka and Madhuri exchanged a stealthy look.

"I have seen your daughter's photograph. She is indeed very beautiful." Madhuri said.

"Everyone says it like that." Nirmala said.

They talked some more time between themselves. Then Madhuri said. "I have to go now. I do come here again. I like you people a lot."

"I wish you to stay in our home for this night and take dinner with us." Ranganath said.

"I feel glad to if I can. But there are very important things I need to attend which I cannot avoid." Madhuri got up. "She said "bye"

Menaka accompanied her mother onto the road "Mom I cannot say how much happy I am feeling that you have come here."

"I am also feeling satisfied Menaka. I cannot say that I did a great thing. But...." She paused for a moment and said. "I am a little satisfied."

"I can understand your feelings" Menaka said. "But there is another important character that you have to meet. She is my friend Sukanya." Then Menaka told her mother about Sukanya.

"When I come here again I sure do meet her also." Then Menaka stopped an auto coming in that way.

Madhuri said bye to her daughter and got herself into that auto. It took her from there instantly.

"Ten years after their marriage, they gave birth to Nirupama" Smaran said

"Yes, of course." Menaka said. This time also Sukanya was with her in Smaran's office. She has shown interest to come there and Menaka took her with her to her uncle's office. It was second time to her to come to that office.

"She is the only child to them. They looked after her so nicely. She had everything she wanted. It must be indeed a very good life."

"Yes it was. She never had felt bad for anything. She always smiled. She always felt happier. I have seen her sad only on that day that too only in those few seconds." Sukanya said.

"You have not seen her sad at all after that particular day?" Smaran asked her.

"I went to my relatives' home and held up there. I came home only two days or so before her death. I think I met her once in between those two days and we talked also. But I could not detect any difference in her. Anyhow....." she paused for a second and said again. "If she tried not to let her feelings out, it was possible. I think I have told you already about this." Sukanya said

"Yes, you said about that to me. I forgot." Smaran nodded his head.

"How often she used to go to that Niranjan?"

"For every two or three days. On many an occasion I accompanied her." Sukanya said. "Niranjan is really a peculiar person. I went to him two or three days back with a problem and he solved it." Then she explained her experience and what Niranjan said to her.

"I agree with you. He is really very interesting." Smaran nodded his head.

"But I found something very surprising with him." Sukanya said.

"What that is?" Smaran narrowed his eyes. Menaka also looked at her surprisingly.

"He always wears those black spectacles. I never have seen him even on one occasion without those." She said.

"Is it is so?" Smaran said. "I have seen him on two or so occasions. You are right. I found him only with those black spectacles."
