**********CHAPTER - 3**********
St. MARY ORPHANAGE :
It was a beautiful morning with bright sunrays illuminating d dew drops on d fresh green grass making them glow like diamonds.A beautiful breeze was flowing, refreshing every fibre of people.
A curly haired beauty was slowly walking through d gardens with a beautiful smile on her face as if immersed in thinking something beautiful n pleasant. The girl was none other than Piya!
Piya was walking along d flower beds which were beautifully maintained. Peach n cherry flowers,Roses,china roses,marigolds n various beautiful flowers were blooming in their full glory swaying slowly with d gentle breeze with various kinds of colourful butterflies hovering over them not to forget d sweet fragrance that was refreshing d whole atmosphere of d mornings. Bt all this color was meaningless 4 Piya;she cud only feel!!.Bt currently she was not thinking abt this dark n gloomy part of her life.From a few days some strange warm feelings were capturing her heart.The feelings dat she had buried long ago somewhere deep in her heart were now beginning 2 resurface.A-B-H-A-Y just thinking abt this five letter word gave her a soothing feeling,she felt protected,cared and and BEAUTIFUL!.Her cheeks turned into a shade of red when he had called her eyes beautiful.Though she had never seen him bt does it matter? The physical appearance of d person whom u love doesnt matter at all coz love is all abt understanding d language of heart,d unspoken words without even saying or xpressing,without any kind of forced formalities,a feeling of comfort,care n trust,finding completeness in each other,devotion 4 ur beloved.Though there is no complete definition of love bt this is what love is! LOVE...The mere thought abt this feeling gave Piya goosebumps n her heart skipped afew beats after realizing what she was thinking. "Am i in love wid Abhay?...bt isnt it too fast? Just after two meetings? Will he love me back? Bt it doesnt matter coz there r no conditions in love.I can spend my whole life with this feeling carefully treasured in my heart." She thought n in d end smiled widely.Piya unknowingly stretched out her hand to touch,to feel their softness n beauty n few words escaped her mouth :
Tu Bin bataye mujhe le chal kahin...
Jahan tu muskuraye meri manzil wahin...
Meethi lagi chakh ke dekhi abhi...
Misri ki dali zindagi ho chali...
Whole garden was reverbearating with her melodious voice.Unknown 2 her there was one person who was gazing her from a long time standing on d backdoor leading to d garden.A breathtaking smile crept on his face on seeing her smile bt as soon as d words of d song reached his ears his smile faded.He thought,"I can understand d pain dat u r hiding Piya;d pain of broken dreams;d pain of being in darkness;d pain of loosing what was urs n may be d pain of loosing d chance of a future dat every girl dreams off...Bt dont worry Piya i will give my whole damned life if it returns n maitains ur smile 4ever".His thoughts were broken by Armaan who snapped him out of his thoughts by clicking fingers in his front.Abhay now noticed he was here too.Armaan understanding his condition,"Mesmerised na? She has a beautiful voice."Both of them smiled while looking at Piya.
Armaan,"Abhay...actually i came here 4 a very imp thing"he said while gazing d ground n sounding suddenly serious.Abhay too sensed something diff n serious n gestured him 2 come n sit inside.He restlessly asked him,"is it something abt P..piya?" Armaan feeling very uncomfortable n heartbroken in a broken voice,"ummm...Y...yes...her reports..".
Abhay now worry clearly visible in his icy blue pools,"R..reports y..yes plss tell me..Im..mean is there any chance?".
Armaan," I took her 2 d hospital 2 days back.Firstly she protested bt when i told her it was necessary as it was being done on ur insistence she agreed.I was soo happy n she was happy too;i cud sense it bt bt..."
Abhay,"bt what Armaan?..Is everything OK?"
Armaan,"A...abhay i m so helpless..i m m sorry bt..bt(pause) she can never get her eyesight back!" with this he turned away!
Outside in d garden:
while Piya was softly touching d flowers,she accidently touched a thorn n she winced in pain which broke her chain of thoughts.She cud feel blood oozing out of her finger.She smiled sadly as if thinking"i hav no right 2 even imagine something pleasant 4 me than how silly of me to think abt my future!".She headed 2wards her room.
Inside;Abhay n Armaan :
Abhay was totally heartbroken n felt as if thousand knives r stabbing his dead heart.He cudnt say anything.
Sensing d condition dat needed xplaination Armaan continued," It it wud hav been a problem in cornea we wud hav easily transplanted cornea n she wud hav been all right bt due 2 accident serious internal damages occured 2 her brain..."
