A dark room,
which is obscure but lightly lightened with blue dimmed light. All the windows
of the room are open and entire room is in a mess clearly indicating it’s
un-kept and uncared fate.
A voice of
deep pain and loneliness can be perceived from that room. A cool evening breeze
is freezing her body but Mrs. Ushashi is unable to wrap her duvet due to her
illness and weak body.
“Cring…..cring……..”
her mobile is constantly ringing but Mrs. Ushashi is unable to lift her head
even…. she is thinking “How shall I talk?? Oh!! God ….please….please give me
some relief from this bitter pain….. I cannot bear this pain anymore” She is
gradually becoming senseless after trying much to pick up the call. Rains of
tears constant flowing from her closed eyes and the pillow cover of her pillow
has been drenched by her tears. Her entire body color is turned into dark black
and her body has been reduced to the size of a skeleton.
Mrs. Ushashi
wants to shut the windows of her room but suddenly she falls down from her bed
and her body rolls on the floor…. Its heart wrenching .This results a cerebral
stroke leading to instant death. Her body is surrounded by the pool of blood on
the floor. Finally, she lives her last breath in the year of 2007.
10 years before…
Ujjal, is a
caring brother of Mrs. Ushashi, who is trustworthy and responsible towards his
duties well. She has only one relative in her life and that is her brother.
Mr. Ujjal is
everything in Ushashi’s life as she was parentless from her childhood. Ushashi,
being parentless always regarded Ujjal as her guardian. He always takes care of
her like her parent. Ushashi never feels that she is a posthumous child but her
destiny determines something else for her. Ushashi had a grand wedding, all arranged
by Mr. Ujjal with lot of love and care. She was too exuberant when she went in
her in law’s place with her heart full of dreams. She led a beautiful married
life.
After 7 years……….,
Ushashi lost
her husband in an accident. After losing her husband, Ushashi has been brought
to Ujjal’s house with two small kids. Mr. Ujjal anyhow convinces her to stay
with his family and not to stay alone. Ushashi’s husband bequeaths his entire
property in Mrs. Ushashi’s name. There are no claimants on her property and this
is well known to everyone.
One year after….
The fate
badly beats her…… Suddenly Mrs. Ushashi comes to know from her biopsy test
report that she is suffering from uterus carcinoma. She fights a lot and
gradually loses all hope of surviving in her life. Ujjal also tries much for
the treatment of Ushashi. Every day Mr. Ujjal runs from pillar to post for good
treatment of his sister, Ushashi…. Two years have passed with a blink of an
eye. Still there is no good sign and hope in Ushashi’s life. Now she is too
weak to lift her body.
Then where
is her brother when she was on her deathbed? Her brother, Ujjal, never leaves
her alone … What happens with her brother who was so protecting & caring!!
Last two years before her
death…..
Being sick,
she has made a power of attorney in the name of her elder brother, Ujjal. He is
her own brother and only person in her entire family. There are no more
relatives in Ushashi’s life who can take care of her as well as two small
children of her. She is a widow and owner of huge properties. Anyhow, Ushashi
wants to live with both her children but things are not in favor.
After giving
the authority of all her property to her brother, a request has verbally been
made to her brother for taking care of all her property and her two small
children. She is neither able to run from pillar to post for any dispute raised
out of her property nor take care of the same. So, she has given all the
authority to her brother to look after her property as a deemed owner and makes
request to look after her children in her absence. Ujjal was requested to help
her children to get the ownership of 90% of her property after they reach at
age of 18 yrs. and she gifted 10% of her property to her brother Ujjal.
After death of Ushashi….
After the
death of Ushashi, Ujjal takes the undue advantages and wrongful gains from his
sister’s property. Within 3 yrs. (in the year of 2010), he becomes the absolute
owner of all the property of Ushashi…. He ultimately kills all the wishes of
his sister and deprives the children from their rights, though they haven’t
reached the age of 18 yrs. till then. He
shows the lame excuse that he is facing questions and problems related to the
property for not having the ownership.
Have you
ever thought of this kind of situation in your life? I am sure that you must be
thinking that why did Ushashi not make her Will??
This could have been prevented if -
●
She
had not expressed her wishes verbally;
●
She
had made a Will (through video film, online or by any other convenient ways);
●
She
had appointed a guardian for her minor children;
●
She
had appointed an executor to execute Will;
●
She
had attached any corroborative evidence in respect of her ownership of the
property;
● She had attached the signatures of
two witnesses.
She was just
34 years when she had to leave this beautiful world. If she had made her Will
at the age of 28 then her children would have had a better future. She
portrayed a lot of faith on her elder brother who is the main culprit of
everything…
Are you blindly believing on your
nearest & dearest ones??
What happened finally?....
Ujjal’s 20
years old son, Upal, is now the absolute owner of the entire property which was
originally for Ushashi’s minor children.
Faith is
good but blind faith is not good. When it comes to the future of our near and
dear ones, no stone should be left unturned. This real story leaves a lesson
for all of us.
“Make a Will. Protect your legacy.”
Thanking
You.
DiL SE WiLL is wishing you a long and healthy
life.
We celebrate your
success in life.
Let’s add the
awesomeness in our lives.
