Janvi was a good reader and her favourite writer was Maniya Sharma. She read all her books and was thorough with it. She had never seen her mother and her father was full time busy. She spends most of her time reading and never tried to know about her mother.
One day while searching for writer favourite writer interest she was shocked to know that Maniya is now in a mental hospital for many years. She saw her photos and her shining blue eyes impressed her. The address of the sanitarium shocked Janvi again. The sanitarium was located in the city next to where she lived.
Janvi decided to meet her favourite writer the next day. She got up early and went to the sanitarium. At first, the hospital authority denied her the entrance and Janvi tried her best to convince the authority. She told about her father as he was a successful businessman and they didn’t deny anymore.
The head nurse took her to Maniya room. She was sitting next to her bed and become violet when she saw Janvi. She was screaming and running madly. Janvi got out of her room. The head nurse informed her that from last year onwards she is like this.
The head nurse treated her for many years. Janvi was eager to know about Maniya. The head nurse told Maniya had no mental illness and was a good writer. Her husband thought that his wife is not normal and that makes her write. Her writings were different from other writers that made him think so. He was the one who put her in the sanitarium when they had a daughter. He was afraid that her madness could affect the daughter.
At first, Maniya uses to ask for her daughter but later she herself turned to mad due to loneliness and medicines. She never wrote after she was admitted to the hospital. After knowing the misfortune of Maniya she requested to know about Maniya’s husband who was the reason for destroying Maniya and her writing skill.
The head nurse gave the address of Maniya’s husband and that was a shock for Janvi. The address was of her father and she understood that Maniya is her mother. Her husband destroyed the great writer and mother of Janvi.
