Can I sell?

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I wonder who waters the plants everyday, as I climb the stairs after two decades.

I’ve inherited a house where my Grandma lived alone, and have no clue what to do with it. Should I retain it because of associated memories or put it on sale? After all, I may  never return to this township again.

I turn the key in a rusted lock and push open the door.

A surprise awaits me. The house is clean, lights are on, and there’s a shadow in the kitchen.

“Who’s there?”

“How could I leave before handing over? Liberate me…”

Grandma…. (gasp)

She says she dreamt of my father saying “There’s a blue file in a particular drawer inbuilt in the sofa-cum-bed.” And she found it there.
