Can U kill the one you love.........

It was a gloomy day outside. She was still struggling to come out of the bed. Twice by now had Martha come to wake her up and evrytime she would just turn sides and doze off again--" Two minutes Martha please" she said without even raising her eyelids. Martha would just smile and go back. Now after half an hour her phone rings and she drags herself out of the warm quilt to pick the call. "Hey Rachel! We are ready. The plot is set. I m sure now even Peabody senior wont be able to touch our case, its all ours." Said Da'silva. Rachel now had her eyes open, glittering with hope. Ah! she has been waiting for this news for ages, she felt. Being an attorney and a person who worked only for blessings Rachel had not much to pay with. All she had was services of people she served at some point of time in the past....

Here she was..... Martha's only daughter had tried to prove she was insane and the certificate they got was from her family doctor, who treated her for past thirty years. Rachel could get no proofs to confirm Martha's sanity. All Rachel knew was, Martha was a nice women. There was nothing insane about her. She knew her for only three months but she could touch her heart and say that Martha was not just sane, she was a caring mother and a very nice person. Rachel saw no reason why Rosemary wanted to prove her insane. She, anyways, was Martha's only daughter, her only heir for all the property, there was nothing she had to worry about. Just no reason at all to try and prove this. Rachel had also met Rosemary and she too appeared to be a sane person. Rachel's mind gave her no reasons why she would do it. "I know for a fact Rose loves her mother, then what is it......"thought Rachel. By then Da'silva was there with the reports, he handed over some sheets to her. She just looked up at him, loads of questions in her eyes. "You might wanna read this first before I start any explanation." She started reading, it was just an eight page document but Rachel felt as if it was a thousand pages.

Her eyes widened with fear. She couldn't beleive what she had jus finished reading. She looked up at Da'silva with a raised eyebrow."Right! Now first things first, we need some security for Martha till we get the decision." She nodded in affirmation, picked up her phone n dialled a number " Hi ! Will it be okay if one of my frnds stays with you for a few days?............ Thanks a lot." , "Done" she said. "Alright!" " Now we need to meet Judge waldman, we cannot even think of an out of court settlement". She nodded again. Unable to say anything, unable to accept what she had just read.

"Rachel!! Please come out of this shock sweetie. I know you loved your parents a lot and you cannot beleive this as you couldnt even think of doing this, but the world is not as good as you are." She nodded again. Da'silva smiled,kissed her hair and blessed her. " Go thru this, I will meet you in the evening." And handed her a file. She smiled-"Thanks Chris". The following day was the D-day for them. Rachel, Da'silva and Martha as well. Rachel could not be in this shock, she told herself, she had to fight for martha, she had to fight for the truth. She closed her eyes and thought of Mr. John Adams, her father, and felt she had a huge responsibilty to cater to. She lifted the file, took out the evidences, placed the disk in her cd-man, listened to it, making notes of all the minute details. She just thought of Martha and heaved a deep sigh. Now she was confident, she knew what was coming her way. She couldnt wait for the court room drama the next day. That night she couldnot sleep. She didnt sleep even a wink.Neither could Martha .....................and Da'silva... ah how could he when Rachel was awake.

The following day, court was set, Rachel arrived in the courtroom sharp at 9:30 hrs, followed by Da'silva and a few of her associates. She took her place and was looking thru the case papers, by then Mr. Peabody Senior was there, Da'silva lifted his head. "Dont bother Chris" Said rachel and smiled. Da'silva smiled at her. "Hello Miss Adams" said Peabody senior, with a smile rachel reverted " Hi! How r u Mr Peabody??" "I am good but your friend needs help" He looked at Martha and said. Rachel didnt like it but just threw another smile athim saying "Thats exactly what I m here for." Her confident smile made Peabody ponder. He rested on her desk then. By then Rose entered the courtroom closely followed by Mr. Baldman. A weird man in his mid fifties, Rachel always wondered how could Rose have such a bad taste. "Anyhow", she thought, "thats none of my concerns".


Judge Waldman entered the courtroom, Rachel was on her feet, so was evrybody else, barring Baldman. "How I hate this man....." thought Rachel

"The district attorney may present his case." said Waldman. "My lord!! Its a simple case of a poor lady who because of her growing age has lost the conscience and hence, we want her daughter, her only heir, to be declared as the owner of the property. I see no reason why this case is even being discussed here. Its a simple fact that Mrs. Martha Wiltson is not capable of managing the property hence being her legal heir Ms Rosemary Wiltson is to be declared the owner. Thats all my lord."

"Whats your objection to this Ms. Defence attorney?" Enquired Judge Waldman.
"Nothing, nothing at all your honour." " I have no objections to a simple story or to a simple logic." " My objection is to the fact that Mrs Martha Wiltson is not mentally challenged. She is not just capable of managing her property, instead her experience in all these years gives her an upper hand in managing the property. Secondly, I further wish to clarify the ownership transfer as well." Rachel looked at Da'silva.

Da'silva raised on foot and handed over an envelop to the court attendant, the envelope was handed over to Judge waldman. "My lord! If we look into these documents.... it is evident that this property that we are talking about is solely Mrs Wiltson's possession, no one else holds any rights on it, since its not the hereditary property." ....."Further, for your notice Mr. Peabody, have a look at this too." Rachel handed over some peices of paper to him." Your honour, if we look at the page number 4 of the specimen, we have a clear agreement between Ms. Rosemary Wiltson and Mr. Richard Baldman, that states Ms Wiltson hold no property and any property that was transferred to Ms. Wiltson eventually happened to Mr Baldman's ownership." Rachel finished her statement. Mr Peabody's face turned pale, he looked at Mr Baldman, couldnot think of what next could he say. Mr Baldman took his fone which wasnt even ringing and walked off the courtroom. Rose was still there, Rachel felt she could see her eyes moist. And there she saw a mom who despite all this had the care and concern for her darling daughter. Martha stood up and walked close to Rose to comfort her. Rose was in shatters. She knew she wasnt worth any trust or emotions. She just sobbed once or twice and then cleaning her eyes said " Your honour, If I may , I want to say something to the court......" Judge Waldman nodded in agreement and pointed towards the witness box. Rose was on her foot and moved to the witness box....................



"Since I have been given this chance to speak here I want to tell you a lot of things, since the time I remember, I have been Ms. Rosemary Wiltson, Mrs Wiltson's beloved daughter, she has been great as a mother and today I think she is a greater human, and maybe I don't even deserve being called a human being........" Rose was looking into infinity and speaking as if she were mesmerized by something." Mrs. Wiltson, my mother, was always the best of a person, even as a single parent she brought me up well enough for me to be a nice person. I was happy in my life regarding her as my goddess and my life was going on really good. After high -school I decided I no longer wanted to study , I wanted to travel and have fun. And this FUN of mine brought me closer to people who had an all-together different meaning of life, by this time, My mother and her teachings had taken a backseat in my life and I was governed by their ideas, their values, and gradually I ended up becoming an addict, there is nothing that I haven't tried, you name it and I can tell you how that makes you feel. I was getting closer to these things and farther from my mom. Mama tried her best to help me, But I always felt she was trying to possess me and I flew away. And My dear Mr. Baldman, was my dearest person cuz he always knew what I needed and he also knew where to procure it from. I had a blind faith on him. And this agreement that Ms. Defense attorney just talked about, I don't remember having signed it. But I know why I never had to pay for my dosages. I know why my mama was twice thrown off infront of big trucks but destiny saved her. I know why in past three months my mama had to change five houses. I know if I don't get rid of this my mama will suffer , she will suffer till she dies or I die. And today I was told we were coming here to get a settlement with my mama to make her life easier. I don't know what to say here.

Just a few things. First, I don't intend to file a suite against my mother, secondly I know for a fact my mother is perfectly sane, I know Rachel as person, she is trying to help us both, mama and me. I don't have much to say. But I am sure YOU CAN NEVER KILL THE ONE YOU LOVE." And Rose broke down. She bent over the table and she felt a gentle brush of a hand on her shoulders, she didn't have to raise an eyelid, she knew this touch so well, she just turned around and put her arms around her mother's waist."I m sorry mum" she said sobbing. Martha was smiling a content smile on her face, she knew she had got her daughter back.

"Now since this has been clarified by the filer that the suite was wrongly filed in her name, the court disbands the case and advises Mr Baldman to be summoned to waste court's time and for forgery. Court refuses any judgments on the case." Said judge Waldman. He looked towards the jury and asks " Do we have something to say." Jury nods in negation. Rachel smiles, stands up and takes a bow."Thank you My lord!" She takes a leave Martha is standing holding her daughter in her arms watching the angel walk towards the sunset to get some more stars to some more lives.
