THE REASON TO LIVE

A morning that always came came this day too. Rk was ready for his art exhibition. The exhibition that was not only his dream but hers too. "Meri biwi kahan hain? he started searching for her. "There you are Mrs Kundra. Chalein? he held her as he always did and walked through their condo.

Omkara has left his house with his wife a year ago. Being Omkara as he was; he didn't gave up on his father's demand for making him a cruel and ruthless businessman as he was. He had his art and his wife to support him always which was his inspiration to achieve heights in such a short time. It wasn't easy to be an artist ever at the first place when you have a father who does not supports you anytime, but then when you have your love and your life with you on every step you take the thorns under your foot automatically smoothes itself. Being with her was not his choice in the first place, but life and destiny knew what was right.

"Sir, please come the lady standing along the door of the exhibition hall showed him the way inside. The hall had everyone who praised his artwork welcoming him by their huge applauses. Though it was his work he still was shocked to see the progress he had made in mere a year. "Yeh sab aapki wajah se hain Mrs Kundra he smiled at her beside him. Continuing his smile he walked to the centre.

"Ladies and Gentleman, let's welcome our guest of honour, the artist who has reached the heights of success in just a year, Mr Rishabh Kundra the sounds of claps could be heard in the whole auditorium. "So, Mr Kundra, who would you like to dedicate your success to? said the man. "The sole reason of my success is my wife, the love of my life Mrs Madhubala Kundra he pointed towards her. "She was the only woman who was there with me when I had everything and nothing. My life, my soul, My love, My Madhu tears madee her partially visible to him.

"So, Mr Kundra, if I ask you about your love story? How did you meet? How did you fell in love? curiousness was visible in each and every eyes. He chucked "I myself don't know when where and how, but all I know is her whenever I look at her I love her even more. Each and every day of my life begins and ends with her he smiled. "So what is love to you? his third question. "Love to me was truth. But now love to me is her. Love to me is the twinkle in her eyes. Love to me is the smile on her face. Love to me is the blush on her cheeks. Love to me is love for me in her eyes. All what I know about love is her he completed. "So sir, tell us about your inspiration the fourth one came. "My inspiration he smiled "well my inspiration is in front of your eyes. My love is my inspiration, Mr Sarmiento.

He left the centre stage only to walk to her "Kaise lagi meri paintings Mrs Kundra? he passed a smirk at her only to find her laughing. "You always laugh when I ask you about them. This is not fair she was still laughing. He had to commit that seeing her laugh was his hope of another breath. That chirpiness on her face gave his heart one more beat. He slowly caressed her cheeks "pata hain naa tumhe ki tumhare ek muskaan ke liye main apni jaan bhi de sakta hoon? he questioned. She smiled on his answer.

"Mr Kundra, your paintings have life. It feels that each and every one is ready to speak the man completed. "Thank you so much Mr Wales RK obliged. "I would actually like to take this one with me he offered. "Sorry, Mr Wales, but these are a birthday present for My love RK miledd. "Oh, I am so sorry Mr Rishabh, but they are beautiful he smiled back. "Thank you so much RK answered.

The sun was almost into the seas when his dream exhibition got a success. Everyone n the hall had awe on their faces by mere painting he drew. They seemed as if the lady in those paintings would just come out of it and start speaking and chattering loud and much. She had a beautiful petite frame and an ever gorgeous smile. It was evident that this woman was not just a painting but a heart beating in the form of strokes. The twinkle in her eyes, the blush on her cheeks would be clearly identified.

RK drew himself to lone and almost dried fields far away from the sounds and noises of the city. "Mr Kundra, your flowers a boy handed him a bouquet of white tulips, her favourite flowers. "Thank you, Alex he smiled to him. "Mr Kundra, you come here on every Monday since a year. Why Monday? he asked. RK smiled "Monday is her favourite day, she says that Monday gives a start to life he slowly kept the flowers on the marble. "You still remember her words, you love her this much? he had a surprise. "I too don't know how much I love her he sat on the ground caressing the white marble. "But Sir, it's been a year since that accident he said

*****************************

They were in the plane; on their way to Germany. "RK, leave me, someone will see she had a bush on her cheeks. "Let them see, you are my wife after all he shrugged and again started caressing her cheeks s lowly movingg to her lips. "RK, we are not in a private jet remember. There are many people here she moved his hands away. "Come on, let the people also see that how much do I love you he smirked. "Listen, take your hands off me or I will leave and never come back she warned and he chucked "That cannot happen.

Suddenly the turbulence started and within seconds the plane started shaking harder and harder. "The people are requested to fasten their seat belts as we are having an emergency landing the air hostess informed. They were told to put a mask on their faces as the plane shook even harder and it landed with a huge explosion.

"Madhu...Madhu.. Madhu, kahan ho tum? he shouted. All he was able to hear was noises of people mourning and crying. His heart was thumping hard and harder when she was nowhere in his sight. "You are searching for Madhubala a lady in the rescue team came to her. "Yes, where is she? he said. "Come with me the lady started walking. She took him to an orange tent which had people lying soundless. "Why are we here? he asked. Without a word she guided him to another empty tent where he saw her.

"Madhu... W..What happened to her? she was lying with her body having fire marks, attached to a cord guided to a moniter which showed her heart beating. "She wanted to talk to you? the lady said and left without a word. "Madhu... What.. What happened? he was just unable to understand the situation. "RK, you know that I love you right? she said in a whisper and he nodded. "I just want you to see you happy. Always remember that whenever you will smile I will be there smiling she pointed towards the sky with her weak hands. "Shut up, just shut up... Kahi nahi jaa rahi ho tum, samjhi... kahin bhi nahi jaa rahi ho tum he held her hands tightly. "Hum, toh aapke dil mein hain naa, toh kaise jaenge kahin aur... she slowly caressed his face.

"Madhu mat jao... please... pleaseee... main nahi jee paunga... he pleaded. "Aaapko Jeena hoga, aapko humare liye jeena hoga... I have to watch you talking appreciations, I have to walk with you through our lives and you will take me everywhere. You have to see everything with your eyes for me. You have to be happy and enjoy life for me... she smiled weakly. "Madhu but... he was silenced "Nahi RK... promise me that you will live for me.

"Okay I will live for you... But please can I get a hug he pleaded in a crying voice. She stretched her arms in return and he bends down to give him in her embrace. "Mat jaao Madhu... mujhe akela chodke mat jaao... ruk jaao she slowly caressed his hairs in response. "Mat jaao... please... mat jaao he was still crying. He heard a beep sound on the monitor as her hands which were caressing his hairs laid lifeless now. "Madhu... he cried loud.

"Sir...Sir... what happened? RK came out of her thoughts. "Even if decades pass, Alex... I will be coming here. I can feel her here he said. "You love her so much so that you have her paintings all over your condo? Alex again questioned. RK smiled "It's not only because I love her but also because I see her smiling at me; the smile that give me strength. I see my reason to live
