Happy 69th Independence Day



"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance"

Kya kabhi savera, Laata hai andhera? 3

After a minute silence, she was back in her own world.

‘Dhriti, Dhriti, you there?’ Adved cried in pain.

‘Yes Adved. Please come soon. I need you now’, saying this, she hanged.

Adved tried calling her, but she was unresponsive. So, he decided to take the next flight and reach her asap.

Upon reaching the hospital, he saw her sleeping on the bed and he started observing her sleeping like a cute child. Looking at her, he was dead seeing her die like this. So, immediately he consulted his team of doctors from Delhi. Then he met Ankita, she was also depressed to see Dhriti like this. After some time, when Dhriti saw Adved standing near her bed, she held his hand and said ‘I love you Adved. Promise me that you will re- marry after I go’.
‘Shuhhhh Dhriti! I am not marrying anyone, when I am not letting you go’ he replied holding her close to his heart.

‘But Adved……’ and she broke completely in tears. He took broke down and he hugged her very tightly.

A silence of few seconds even left those doctors mum.

‘Baby, these are the experts from Delhi. They are here to treat you’ Adved replied wiping those tears of hers.

‘Hummm Adved….thank you for being there with me always. Now I can die very peacefully’ she replied kissing his fist. and he started observing her sleeping like a cute child. Looking at her, he was dead seeing her die like this. So, immediately he consulted his team of doctors from Delhi. Then he met Ankita, she was also depressed to see Dhriti like this. After some time, when Dhriti saw Adved standing near her bed, she held his hand and said ‘I love you Adved. Promise me that you will re- marry after I go’.
‘You are not dying because I want to re-marry with the same Lady of my life. I’ll wait for you till the end of my life and I am sure even god will take care of my wish’ he made her comfortable by saying this.

‘Mr. Adved! We shall take Dhriti for the operation now’ a doctor interrupted them.

‘Yes Doctor. Wait a minute’ he said and kissed her on her forehead. She without giving a thought nodded him with a smile and hugged him lastly.

She was taken to the operation theater and here, Adved was waiting praying for her well being with tears in his eyes….. 
After 7 hours, the doctors got back to him and said ‘Mr. Adved, we tried our best. Your prayers have given all the answers and I am happy to say that she has recovered from her cancer’.
Hearing this, his face had that sigh of relief. He cried, cried out louder. And smile couldn’t leave his face.

‘Doctors can I meet her?’ he asked with tears.

‘No Mr. Adved. It will take at least few hours for her to get back to her senses. But after that you can surely meet her’ doctors advised.
Adved brought her back to his place and said ‘Baby, can you marry me?’

‘It seems an offer I can’t reject’ she said smiling at him.

‘See, I told you na that I ain’t letting you go’ he said dressing her.

‘Yes and your confidence gave me strength while I was taken to the operation theatre. I knew your confidence will win my battle’ she said holding him tightly around his chest.

‘Kya kabhi savera, Laata hai andhera!’ he answered her hugging her tightly.

She just smiled and was ready to marry him again…


You know, we all have that one person in our lives that do stands as an example for the world. Even after crossing so many hurdles, they are still together holding and catching each other. Well, this story was a request from one of our readers to let the world know what all they have been through. Yes we are sorry that we didn’t place anything on ‘FRIENDSHIP’S DAY’. But, we really meant that this story was far essential than anything else, after all it was a request…. Ankita (name changed), let us know, if we did justice in binding those words with our imagination…And last but not the least, surely you will get things very differently from the next week.

Kya kabhi savera, Laata hai andhera? 2


Dhriti’s packing was almost over and she was getting herself showered. Soon after this, when she got ready in her casual wear; she decided to inform Adved that she will be leaving very soon. But as she was about to hold her cellphone, a sudden abdominal pain started creating complications. She lay down for few minutes, but the pain was unbearable. Whom would she call, as there was no one to aid her? So, she decided to call her friend Ankita and asked her to take her to the hospital. Ankita soon arrived and took her to the hospital. While Adved was trying hard to call Dhriti, but the phone was out of reach. Doctor was clear about her disease and so he again performed few tests on her. The reports were surely negative and soon the doctor decided to convey this to Adved.   Meanwhile, here Adved was getting worried for his wife and the lines of concerns were surely seen on his face. 
‘Hello Yes Mr Adved!’ doctor said upon making a call to Adved.

‘Yes Dr. Pritam. It’s Adved here. Is everything well Dr?’ he replied.

‘Actually Adved, Dhriti is admitted here. She was complaining of her abdominal pain. So, Ms.Ankita took her to the hospital. And Adved I’ve called you to inform you that it is Dhriti’s last stage of cancer, we will have to soon perform a surgery on her now, else…..’ saying this, the Dr paused.

‘What? I’m coming soon Dr. But promise me, that you won’t utter a single word about this to Dhriti. Please, it’s a request Dr’ he was shivering in pain now.

‘Yes Sure. As you say’ the doctor replied and they hung.

while, here Adved was getting worried for his wife and the lines of concerns were surely seen on his face.
‘It’s just a minor surgery Dhriti. Will let you know when I’ll be there. I’m coming today Sweetheart. Till then take good care of yourself and so as doctors say. Please’ he answered with a very low voice.

And saying this, he broke in tears. He couldn’t escape more from letting Dhriti know about her disease. He couldn’t escape from his own feelings that her cancer has reached the final stage. He couldn’t escape from his own world. He couldn’t escape of those beautiful moments that he shared with her. He couldn’t escape from her beautiful smile. He couldn’t escape from letting her go now….He wished, if god had planned to take her, he could take him too because he cannot live without his girl now…Moreover, he couldn’t escape of anything…He was dying to see her now. But she, she was still on her call and could sense Adved’s killing silence…

‘Adved, what has happened baby? Is something not right with me? Please tell me Adved. Please’ she was soft spoken this time.

Adved upon hearing her so calmly had no option then to break in tears. He wanted to hug her, kiss her and hold her forever….but now, destiny had something else planned. You know, just sometimes in our lives, love doesn’t die due to tears or pain, but it dies due to the fear of losing someone very special….

Upon a silence of minute, he made an effort to tell her…
‘Dhriti, actually I’m sorry that being a husband, I couldn’t take care of all our 7 wedding promises which we had taken together’ replying this, he busted out in tears completely.

‘No Adved. I couldn’t get someone far better than you. Your all those 7 promises illuminated my world very warmly. And even if there is something not right with me, I can see you right to me’ saying this, a lone tear passed her eyes.

‘Thank you Dhriti. But, here is something I have hidden a thing from you. Dhriti…ahh…’ saying this, his voice was choked.

‘Yes Adved…..’ she answered him back wiping her face.

‘Dhriti….I’m really sorry and I know you won’t forgive me for this, but baby, you are suffering from ovarian cancer’ his answer now had meaning……….

Dhriti was taken aback; taken aback by the words’ OVARIAN CANCER’.  She was now dead with words and couldn’t make it….

‘Hello, hello Dhriti, you there’ Adved upon feeling her silence, wanted to check her…But for Dhriti, it was an end, an end that was to dawn her, an end that had only darkness and an end where she will be seen no more tomorrow….

NEXT PART, COMING SOON!
