Ajao meri tamanna
Arjun was running, running, he was running without stopping. He had no time to stop. He had to rush in hospital immediately .
Few minutes before
The phone began to ring and Arjun decided to respond after seeing the caller's name Sur, her sister.
AP: Hello.
SP: Arjun hello.
AP: Hmm...what happen?
SP: I took Anya at the school dance. She's learning everything easily. The teacher also complimented me, she thought I'm her mother, however, she danced, danced until ..
AP: Until what?!
Arjun had heard that sentence cut in half and anxiety had risen to a thousand now.
SP: Well, Anya pirouettes and then ..
AP: Sur! What's happened?
SP: Well .. she fall. So I took her to hospital immediately ..
AP: What hospital?
SP: At Roshan's Hospital.
AP: At Roshan's Hospital?
SP: Yes, but you don't to worry. The doctor said she had only a mild sprain.
AP: I'm coming...she is my daughter
Roshan's Hospital. It seemed a twist of fate. Now at that hospital there were the two most important people in his life. Two people who wanted to take away from there immediately. But he couldn't. Not both and not now.
He reached the room where there was Anya, once again he ran.
AP: Anya!!!
A: Dad. You know Bua bought me some candy. They are good! Do you think I can bring one to mom?
AP: Anya...
SP: oh dear, I think it's a good idea. True, Arjun?
AP: Sur, I think it isn't a good idea.
SP: Why not?
AP: No. You know that I won't that she see her in this condition.
A: But dad I want to visit my mom. Today is also her birthday, I made her a drawing in kindergarten.
SP: Come on Arjun. Only for a while. It right that Anya see her mother at least once. At least she can see Arohi.
Arjun clenched his fists, those words had come straight to the heart as blades. He knew what it meant to Sur. He knew what she was trying to explain.
AP: All right. But only briefly.
A: Yes.
Arjun and Anya reached the room where was Arohi. Arjun still had difficulty opening the door as he knew what he would facing. Still today he wasn't used to see her in that state.
A: Can I open?
A: No. I must open.
Arjun put his hand on the handle and turned it.
He saw the door move slowly and see the silhouette of Arohi, lying on the bed.
Arjun took a few steps toward her, with Anya in his arms, who at the sight of her mother seemed strangely calm and quiet.
Arohi, in those four years, had changed a lot. Her hair had become longer. Her face was very pale and thin, but she had a kind of smile, she looked serene, despite everything.
AP: Anya, give your gift to mom.
A: Yes!
Arjun placed Anya on the ground and held her for a moment for fear of falling because of the sprained ankle but Anya didn't seem to bother, and approached with extreme shyness to the mother and looked at her with her bright eyes. She was frightened or confused, this Arjun couldn't understand. He continue to observe the behaviour of her daughter.
Anya put the picture on the bedside table of her mother, noticed a lot of flowers in the room, a gift of Arjun for her birthday. And the flower brightened the room.
Anya gently stroked her cheek, and laid her little lips on it.
Arjun was impressed by the gesture, he felt an incredible tenderness for his daughter. That act contained all the love that a daughter felt toward the mother who never seen her.
A: We love you, Mom. Come back soon.
Anya limping a bit, left the room saying before to his father ..
A: I leave you alone.
Arjun nodded, walked to Arohi and patted her hand.
AP: That's our daughter. It an angel and a devil at the same time. Just like you.
His eyes looked down, unable to watch, although she wasn't watching him, Arjun was still afraid of the hard reality, he was afraid that she would never wake up. Fear, that feeling lived in him for four years and feared that panic to turn into reality, something beyond time.
AP: We need you. Back Arohi...I need you, Anya need you...back soon.
His voice trembled as he himself. It was hard without her.
AP: Please Princess....please my Love come back...I need my life back.
He spoke it in a whisper, full of hope and fear together. But she was still there, and this hurt to see her in those conditions.
My love I miss you like the wax that lacks the fire to continue to burn.
I look at the dark night
observe the dark and lose myself in it;
just between this dark truth I look for that light is not there.
I miss you my love how that light is missing at night.
Love come to me.
Love I miss your touch
Love I miss your kisses
I miss you my Love.
He could not stay a moment longer, he would not suffer a moment longer. He must go now.
Backed off a bit, until he reach the door. He closed the door and started running toward the exit and reached in a short time Anya who was waiting for him.
A: Bua went home, she had to do some thing. She told me to wait here. I've been good, no?
AP: Yes, you were very good. Now go home.
A: Okay!
What he wanted now was to forget the pain, suffering and separation. He wanted to forget that she was there. He just wanted a little peace.
They were going to cross the exit of the hospital and at that moment there was a scream .. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"
Throughout the hospital was on alert, what was that scream almost superhuman? Where it came from? And above all, who was?
