ARIES M X CANCER F - MY LITTLE DWELLER

Aries pov:-

Can you visualize the little, adorable girl wearing a white frock, sitting by the window? She is Cancer. A spontaneous and lively girl she is. But for few days, she seemed extremely gloomy. It was mainly because her father, Libra was dangerously sick.

She would often run through my garden, playing with her uncle Pisces, and tell him how she would imagine her being a scientist, just like her father. She loved her father dearly. Her father's sickness brought deep sorrow in her. Her sadness brought despair in my heart, but it was impossible for anyone to feel it for I am not a human being. Yes, I Aries, Cancer's big and old mansion, surrounded with greenery. On the outskirts ,just like a secluded green island in the midst of the urban hustle and bustle, I am a calm and aloof shelter surrounded by greenery.

Cancer's family started searching for doctor for Libra's treatment. It came into light, that Libra was suffering from a fatal disease, Cancer. Her father could be treated but it would require tons of money.. It was impossible to pay using savings.

Cancer would often hear from her mother Virgo about stories of treasure, how Alibaba discovered hills of treasure - gold and jewels inside a cave and Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. She often thought "Wish I could find such a treasure. I could free them from such a problem! "

One day, I heard Virgo and her father Capricorn talking that they would sell this house or me. My abstract heart suddenly broke down. I will never be able to see Cancer.

Whenever she used to dance, my flowers sang with glory, there used to waves of happiness,  now everything shall be past.

Since then I saw innumerable people visiting my house. Out of them, one of the family agreed to pay at the highest price. The sum would help them treat her father. From now, Cancer shall stay at Virgo's home with her and Capricorn.

They started packing things out. Two to three days went like this. On the final day, before bidding goodbye,  Cancer told her mother, "Shall we take the picture of my paternal grandfather Pisces's grandfather Leo's portrait? "

First she refused, saying that it was too big. But Cancer was stubborn in this case. So Virgo had to agree. She called one of the servant who took it out. What came next was a astonishing sight! A small box came out. Virgo and the servant called Libra and Capricorn.

The box had a small diary attached where the combination was written. Though it seemed blurred, but still they could figure out. Libra with his unwell physique and help of Virgo, opened the box. The room was filled with light. The small box was filled with treasure. Everyone was filled with awe.

"Its a treasure! " Cancer chirped

I slightly started to remember the history of this treasure. Leo was the owner of this house, or me. He was extremely fond of collecting things having a historical significance. The treasure was one of them, the costliest. Cancer's grandfather Pisces was a doctor by occupation. He was not at all like Leo. He used to live a simple life. Libra was just like his father. Both of them donated the historical items to a museum. But they had no idea about this treasure. The treasure's cost increases day by day. Cancer was very happy that now her father will be cured. Libra started to discuss the matter to his friends via phone.

But her hopes got shattered, when she saw few angry looking men taking away the treasure. She started crying.

Virgo :- Let them take the box Cany.

Cancer :- But what about father?

Virgo :- Cany, your father is a well known scientist and a good human being. The government has agreed to bear the expenses for his treatment.

Cancer :- But what about this house?

Capricorn :- The house will not be sold, my little granddaughter!

I was filled with joy. For others it might be a treasure, for me it was a blessing given by Leo. Both me and Cancer were now happy.
