This is the story of Saku, the only child of Mr and Mrs Chadi. At the age of 8 years old, his mother gave him up and sent him to live with her parents who owned a huge orchard. She was not concerned about how they were going to bring him up since her parents were very caring and loved spending quality time with their grandchildren. They were also super-wealthy and could afford to give Saku anything he could ever wish for. They were in a position to offer him a better quality of life than they could.

Saku’s grandfather adored all of his grandchildren, but Saku was his favourite. He seemed to have developed a natural soft spot for him since he was born.

As the years went by, an unbelievable bond developed between Saku and his grandfather. They went everywhere together and were inseparable. The only time they were not together was when Saku attended school. Saku referred to his grandfather as his best friend. He taught him a lot of things, including how to grow up and become a good wise man. Saku’s parents saw him occasionally but he preferred to remain with grandfather.

One day, as they went out in the orchard as part of their typical routine, Saku’s grandfather had paused at a particular spot and seemed rooted without saying a word. This confused Saku for a moment. He looked in his direction to make sure he was alright. After what seemed to be an exceptionally long pause, his grandfather reached out to hold Saku’s hand, pointed to a particular
