ARSHI OS- HEALED

As I stood in front of the mirror this morning, I looked at the reflection of my scar in it, it was visibly less. It had been healed, finally! And so was my heart, finally!
Reminiscing the past few months, a smiled approached my lips almost involuntarily.
I had never thought I would live a day like this, when I would free myself from all the hurt in every possible sense. It's almost like a dream and she' is a dream come true!

Three years back I was completely shattered with that fatal accident. How it took my life away from me leaving behind just a pumping heart. On that ill-fated day I had lost Lavanya, the girl who was my life, the love of my life, my soul mate, in a car accident. That incident not just left deep scars on my face but also on my soul. How destroyed I was back then, I sighed thinking how pitiful I had become. I had lost all my faith in God and love. I had started to believe that I was too dented to get repaired now. Nothing could simply cure me back. Nothing could instill love in me. Thinking this was my life now, I breathed every day, coz living was a farfetched thought. Lavanya took my life away with her, leaving behind just a mechanical body moving from one place to another with no emotions.

Today when I ponder upon my life, I'm thankful that life's plans were different than mine!
Suddenly I was brought out of my reverie by a text message:
DOCTOR KHUSHI'S CLINIC
Name-Arnav Singh Raizada
Appointment no. 54
Appointment time 11 A.M.

I smiled like a maniac seeing that message. I wondered what a fool I am, who smiles seeing a message of doctor's appointment. Thinking about the story behind my foolish behavior, I blushed incoherently.

6 months back, on the severe persuasion of my mother I finally landed with an appointment for my scar treatment with one of the most young and famous dermatologist of the city. I was clearly disinterested in getting a scar treatment as I felt it would do no good to me. What's the point of getting marks healed when your heart is scratched to its soul?

As I entered her cabin, I was greeted by a chirpy young voice-
"Hey" she said smiling at me.
"Hmm" I responded coldly.
Unaffected she started again cheerily "I am Dr.Khushi and you?"
"Listen I have this scar on my right cheek; I need a treatment for it. That's it! "I said in a very frustrated tone. I was actually frustrated seeing her being so lively and full of spirit. For dating sadness and regrets for years now, the slightest idea of being happy or seeing someone happy irritated me.

"Why are you being so rude? "She asked, still holding her calm in spite of my impolite behavior.
"It's none of your business. Just do your job." I retorted.
"Listen, it's okay, I won't mind your behavior, each day I see a lot of patients frustrated with themselves, with their marks and other deformities. But I promise to heal your scar as soon as possible." She smiled again.
"Fine you can heal scars but there is no ointment to heal my broken heart" I sighed, confessing my dark side to her.
"I'll try to heal you as much as I can."
These were her words and she really went on proving them!
She healed me inch by inch, scar by scar, minute by minute and day by day. With each of her appointment she blended life in my gloom. Her endless talks, her full of life attitude and most importantly her smile, they all were so contagious. It was as if she repaired me piece by piece, as if she took a single piece at a time and bolted it for an entire lifetime, so that there were no chances left for it to break again. Each day she infected me with laughter, joys and happiness. She made me believe in life again. She made me believe that despairs aren't forever. She made me believe that pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. She made me believe that there is always a ray of hope at the end of tunnel. She made me believe in love all over again!
Sometimes I wonder if she made me believe things or instead she broke my belief about things!
Hard to tell, I guess.
All I know for now is that I had never thought that healing would be so soothing. Standing up again would have been so refreshing. Falling in love again would be so magical!
No doubt she was and is magic, my magic, my magic wand!
I busted with smile with the thought of attaching my' before her.

After seeing my face in the mirror, I rehearsed again for the final time, sitting on my knees extending my hand with a ring "Would you like to share my surname?", I couldn't help but blush. Now only God knows how I am going to control the crimson color on my cheeks when I actually say these lines in front of Khushi!

Falling in love is hard after your heart has been broken once. But once you meet that person that makes you smile and puts it back together for you, you know its okay to fall in love again.
