Kasaragod: For M Geetha of Paramba Lakshmi Nivas in Poinachi, the question of whether her gold chain was stolen no longer matters. What she cherishes now is the unexpected kindness of the person who returned her nuptial pendant.
The chain was accompanied by a handwritten note that read:
“It has been nine days since this chain came into my possession. At first, I was happy. But whenever I held it, I felt something negative, a slight shiver. I thought long and hard about what to do with it. Then, I saw a message on WhatsApp that it’s a nuptial pendant. I decided I didn’t want anyone else to suffer loss. I do not wish to reveal my identity. Sorry for keeping it all these days and for the pain it caused.”
Geetha discovered the loss on the evening of August 4, after returning home from a bus journey with her husband, V Damodaran, a retired revenue official. They immediately lodged a complaint at the Melparambu police station, which circulated details of the missing chain in local WhatsApp groups.
At about 10.30 am, just as the couple was preparing to leave for Poinachi, they found the chain and letter placed neatly on their verandah. The note bore the name of a nearby locality, Kundamkuzhi, written underneath.
