Humans without humanity are like clouds without rain. Beautiful, but of no use. I hate humans, including me. They are the most selfish creatures on the earth. May be I was one of them, but not anymore. Now I realized the value of humanity. I m lying in the middle of the NH road, fighting to breath, drenched completely in blood, I can't feel my body and hoping for someone to help me. But everybody is ignoring me, and treating me like dead person. See, I m in this state because of a human and I m hoping for some help from another human. Typical human mentality. Isn't it?
Shifali... she is...NO.. she was my P.A. she was a friend of mine. At least I felt like that. But guess I was wrong. I m the great Rudhr Malhotra, one of the successful young business man of this country. But my dream is to become the no.1 business man of this country. In the process of chasing my dream I became a workaholic. I forgot about life. But now I want to live my life.
One hour before, I was going for a meeting with shifali. Suddenly my car has broken down. So we were waiting for another car. Then I got the biggest shock of my life. She pushed me on the road intentionally. Next second I met with an accident. I must say horrible accident it was. First, I didn't understand her but now I got it. She did all this for my new project tender details. She tried to kill me and almost succeeded.
I hate girls. They are really dangerous. I m all defeated and tired. Tired of waiting for someone. I m not afraid of death but I don't want to die alone. I need a person beside me. Finally I m giving up on my life. I m dying. I closed my eyes hoping to enter into a heaven.
"Hello... hello...can you hear me" I heard some voice. She is a girl. Her voice is pleasant like symphony with a soothing effect. See, now I m in heaven. Now I have an angel beside me.
Wait..no..i m not in heaven. I opened my eyes slightly but it's dark like before and I m still drenched in blood. I tried to see her face but it was dark as I told you before. she held my hand and slightly caressing with her another hand. Her touch is smooth like a feather which gives comfort to a restless person.
No doubt.. She is an angel. Is she from heaven. Did I use the Temptation, even angels will fall caption wala. No.. I never even liked it. Then how is this possible. I never met angels before but she really sounded like one or maybe it was my fantasy. I was thinking hardly, in this process I forgot to breath.
"Oh my god. You are not breathing. Hey... come on... breath.. breath.." she was trying hard but i m still in my fantasy land. Suddenly I felt heavenly. Guess what!! She was kissing me. For me, it was a kiss. But for her it was an artificial respiration. She was helping me to breath. I tried to kiss her back. But my body is not helping me to do. I suddenly wanted some air and with a gasp, I started to breath.
She caressed my cheeks and said " you are alive.. Thank god.. I ll save you. Nothing will happen to you.. I m here to help you.. Please don't die" her words ringing in my mind and I literally tried to smile. But I couldn't..
I thought all the humans are of same kind, selfish. But no, as much as "bad" is here, more than that "good" is here. Humanity still exists in this world. She proved me wrong. Now I don't hate girls. Within a single second I changed my opinion about them from bad to good. All my life I wanted something that I couldn't name it. But now I can. I want love, her love... Yes.. I m in love with her. Isn't it weird.. No it's not.
She is so caring and loving towards a stranger, she is trying hard to keep me alive. Then just think, how much she will care for her husband. I don't want to lose that chance and her love. So I have decided to live..
Then I felt someone's presence other than her. "Here he is..Please help" she is scared and her voice is shaking.
"Who is he" they asked her.
She held my hand and said "He is my husband. He met with an accident to save me. Please help".
She lied to them. But it was the most beautiful thing that I've ever heard. The feeling of being in love and love of your life introducing you as her husband was just amazing. They lifted me and laid me in their jeep.
Next second, she placed my head on her lap and hugged me. Trust me. It was breathtaking.
Love..The word itself is drowsy, and when you are in the arms of your love then..oops..you have already gone buddy..
I completely lost myself and felt drowsy. But I don't want to sleep. I want to see her face before going to the operation theater. I tried hard to keep my eyes open but I couldn't.
Finally we have reached the hospital. Everyone is running here and there. I heard some noises, shouts.
But I don't want to go like that. I wanted to see her face and know her name before going to the theatre.
"Name of your husband" someone asked her.
"Ummm...Ashish..ya..his name is Ashish Sharma" my love named me as Ashish. Again I tried to smile but couldn't..
"what's your name" someone asked her. I ignored all the sounds and concentrated on her voice.
"Parvati" her name is Parvati.. most beautiful name.
I opened my eyes slightly and saw her face. Believe me. She is really an angel and I m lucky to have her in my life. Again I tried to smile. This time, I succeeded.
She was looking at me intensely, caressing my cheeks "Don't worry. I m here. You will be fine" she said.
I smiled and replied "I love you" before nurses taking me to the theater.
One second. All we need is one second. I gave up on my life and prepared to die. But in next second, god blessed me a brand new life with extra benefits. The ways of god are sometimes mysterious.
She came to rescue me from myself. She changed my opinion about humans, girls, circumstances in one second. So all we have to do is wait for a second to change our lives. Now, I know, I m going to live, for me, for her, for us. I ll find her at any cost and make her mine forever and ever.
THE END
Be happy...Lina...
