Absconding
Two of my relatives were absconding, one from Alleppey and the other from Quilon. Both were married and having children.
My father went to Bombay to attend an All India Kutchi Memon Federation Meeting representing Cochin in 1971. In free time he was just wandering in the market he saw the person from Alleppey and talked to him. He was absconding for the last few years after having a son. His wife and son were staying in his brother in laws house in Cochin. My father informed his brother in law and he agreed to bring him. My father brought him. After seeing his wife and son, he took them to Bangalore where his brother is there. He got some job and got one daughter after coming. The son became an Engineer and daughter became a doctor. He died in Bangalore. His family are all settled in Bangalore in good position.
When I went to Bhopal in 1972 for a summer school in Moulana Azad College of Technology, my aunt asked me to enquire her husband who was absconding. She gave an address there. I went and inquired, they said he was there but left and no information. Also they said he may be in Bombay. In 1973 I went for a summer school in IIT, Bombay with my HOD Prof Razvi. His sister was staying near IIT, so we both went to see his sister and family. When we were talking there, the person absconding from Quilon came there for some purpose. I was really shocked to see him. I talked to him, he said he was not happy with his family and left. He inquired about his children, I said his son has a small business, his first daughter married and second daughter is studying. After my talk with him he showed willingness to return. I informed his wife and children about the incident after my return. His son went and brought him back. Whatever he earned he gave to his son. He was affected by Cancer, the son took proper care of him and he died in Quilon. His son is now a well settled business person in Quilon and wife died recently.
Both these persons are traced accidentally. My father died in 1974. I think we could do a noble thing by able to unite 2 families. May Allah accept our deeds and give proper reward in the hereafter Aameen
