Suddenly Kamla came and Shweta looked around and was startled to see Ashok standing at the end of the room.
Kamla: Didi,aaj ka kaam khatam,main jaa ri hu.
Shweta: Ok.
And then she fixed her hypnotizing gaze towards Ashok.The poor creature couldn’t escape this trauma of being pierced by those pair of beautiful eyes.He just stood there numb.Finally Shweta broke the awkward silence lingering in air.
Shweta: So Ashok,what makes you visit me at this hour?Any new updates?
Ashok:Shweta I have a good news for you.Dr Alex visited the center today and he told that a new technology is up for testing.They need a few volunteers and I thought of you.That is what has brought me here today.
Shweta: Her face gleamed.Wow Ashok that’s a great news.Definitely I am in.Thank you Ashok for considering me.
That’s what enchanted Ashok more than her beauty,her enthusiasm,hope and optimism towards life.
He still remembers the day Shweta was admitted in the hospital.He was in night shift that day and in charge of her life that gruesome night.It was raining heavily that day and plenty of accidents were reported.One of a small headline on the page of “News Today” page number 7 was :
“Car crash on Delhi-Rohtak road,2 injured 3 dead on spot”
That night the rain washed away the memories to be for Shweta with her family members.Her Mom,Dad and Sister died on spot.Herself and her brother were rescued and their heartbeats survived the catastrophe.But she never cursed GOD,fate or destiny.She was one strong woman to be after all.She survived only for her left leg to be amputated and her family swept away from her.
She was left with Nitin her elder brother who helped her heal her wounds and determination to walk again,work again.
After the accident Harsh,her love also abandoned her as she couldn’t run anymore,she couldn’t dance anymore,she couldn’t walk with him hand in hand over the grass barefoot anymore.
Harsh leaving her crippled her in real than the amputation.But Nitin revived the family business and gave strength to her.She started walking again with the help of “Jaipur foot”.She beared enormous pain but she was not the one to accept defeat from life and destiny like this and sit and brood,be in tears always,that’s not her.That’s not how her parents bought her up.
Suddenly Shweta’s voice brought him back to present from past.
Shweta: Ashok,when shall I visit the hospital for tests and trial?
Ashok: This Thursday Shweta.Dr Alex will ask you few questions and examine you too.I have had a glimpse of this new technology.This new foot is much more flexible and pains less.You can walk better and you can even give a shot to dancing if you want
Shweta:That would be great Ashok.I am really excited to try this one out.
Ashok came near her and kissed her forehead.Sure dear,it will do wonders for us.I am sure.My princess I love you for not giving up.
Then they entwined their hands in each other and thought of the day when they married each other few months back.They looked into each other’s eyes and smiled. Shweta found true love in Ashok and her life took one more nice turn because she didn’t give up. Ashok feels lucky to have her in his life.
P.S.:Life’s as you make it.No matter whatever be the difficulties you ought to be determined and not give up or break down.Good times are sure around the corner.As they say “GOD helps only those who help themselves.”

Hmmmm!! :)
No words to say anything! But is it a real life incident or a one you made up! how is it?
Hope - This four lettered word carries so many untold promises that it cannot be even fathomed . One of the things I have liked about this post was that Shweta was able to accept whatever life has thrown at her - challenges or new oppurtunities . Yes its a traumatizing event where you can be scarred for the rest of your life both figuratively and literally . But the ability to forget and move on betrays a strong and likable personality . The world is filled with whiners who would complain about everything on how world has given them a raw deal . Rather than learning from failures they would browbeat circumstances and never learn from them. Your protagonist in this brief story is able to move on and provide a shining example on how to deal with adversity in life.
Question to you : Why does all your stories have female protagonists and any males are either reduced to dead or complete morons ?
@Kelvin: Its pure fiction dear...Thanks for ur encouraging words!!! :)
@A Nony Mouse: Because whatever men I have met almost all of them were mere jerks!!!For them masculinity means overpowering women.Having gud time with them,have many gf's but marry the one whom ur parents chose for u...But I have "hope" the society still have real men...And Ashok there in the story is not dead or complete moron right???Or you can also say I am being a bit misandric while writing :D Where were you since long man!!!Missed you here...
It is really a great work. It feels great after reading the blog..
The word that describes you is a feminist .
