The Piano #FridayFotoFiction

Posted on 31 August 20176 September 2017 by Mayuri Sharrma

Miser Max was what they called him.

First behind his back and then to his face. He used public transport if and when he ventured out of his house. He used meal coupons. The pensioner was wearing the same clothes for as long as he, or anyone else, could remember. Strangely, he never flinched when paying for piano lessons for his favourite nephew.

When Max passed away a letter reached his now adult nephew. The only request that piece of paper held was, ‘Play the piano at my funeral’.

Max had taken his due for the lessons, everyone snickered.

His nephew began playing Max’s favourite song. As his fingers punched the familiar keys he felt something was different. And it was, with each punch and tune a panel near his feet slid open a little more. It opened fully to reveal bundle upon bundle of currency notes stacked neatly.

    Such a thoughtful uncle actually! But it must have been hard for him to suffer without a glitch. Lovely M, as always.

    Some persons remain a puzzle even after their deaths! Felt the protagonist was very much like a coconut… a nut for onlookers but a tender caring person from inside.
    A complete story!
