The Last Letter of Miss Bright Star

Who knew that the death of a postman would be the death of a letter! The letter remained undelivered for many years until one day the son of the postman stumbled upon it between his father’s papers.

The envelope read, ‘To Miss Bright Star… From, Mr Dreamer’. At first, he thought that perhaps it written in fun by someone. But the letter was dated the day his father had passed away, with an official stamp and addressed to ‘Gulmarg House, Village Aam Nagar, Uttarakhand’. And so, he decided to deliver the last letter.

The postman’s son, Laxman, went to the address and found that the people who lived there had left many years ago. The neighbour informed Laxman that his father used to visit the house regularly to deliver letters to a girl named Tara. But many years ago, the family had left permanently for their ancestral home in Uttar Pradesh.

Laxman was determined to find the recipient of the letter. He got the address of Tara from the neighbour and left. Two days later, he found the recipient of the letter Mrs Tara, handed over the letter and returned home. But what was written in that letter?
