In the midst of miseries
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The setting was perfect. Candlelight, polished cutlery and a single rose set in a delicate vase at each table.Everything seems beautiful in the limited high power lights surrounded by unlimited darkness.The reception function was highlighted with a band of singers.The candles with variety of colours makes everyone much more beautiful.In their new dress which are more glazing!..majority apply make-up to enhance their beauty!
Different varities of food include slices of pizza,rolls ,sauces,cupcakes and many other dishes arranged on the table.It was really a sit down buffet arrangement.
The marriage is not an arranged one.Both of them meet,love and got married.Everyone can see them smiling and talking each other....very friendly...with good understanding..
Their friends and relatives and other invited people tried to introduce each other...all of them in a happy mood....As per modern trends there were speeches from the bride's side and groom's side!
Years back in the town hall a grand reception was conducted ...people remember ...just like this!
a love marriage of sajeev and cini....Both of them studied in the same college of alternative medicine....they took their bachelors and masters degree together....with love! later both of them selected for job in good institutions.They were blessed with handful of money.They had two children.
sajeev in the Sundays went to his village to see his father and mother.They were very poor..their house is not well built...not with bricks...not with concrete...frankly a hut! He gave some money to his mother.Financial condition of cini's family is a slight better than his!
The peaceful situation suddenly changed when one-day some people forcefully entered his clinic, They destroyed some parts of the clinic and tried to beat him which made him faint and later his body was paralysed and later lead him to a coma stage! In the enquiry of wife's and other relatives it was found out that some medicines prescribed by him caused minor problems in a patient.Though it does not cause any other difficulties to that patient, with a group of people he come to take revenge. what an enmity?sometimes it may be because of some old preparation of medicine!.
His wife cini who was working in the nearby hospital look after him very much...gave him food...wash his clothes...do each and every thing he like....his children also cared him very much..they sit beside him and said words to console him.The treatments were done in a multi -speciality hospital.Though one year passed ,he can't awake from that situation.so as she was busy in her jobs and need to look after her children she sent him to his village...to his hut...for staying along with his parents!As his body can't absorb any solid food,the liquid food was given to him through feeding tubes and there were breathing machine and also fixed a rubber tube catheter for removing urine!
Later they didn't went to see him because he in a conscious or unconscious condition? In a condition which love hesitates to enter! Love is the most sweetest emotion which can naturally enter only in happiness,perfection,health,wealth,fame...etc.. also constant only when you are alive,in your consciousness,in your presence ....by which we can't forget!
Now after twenty two years he was there in the coma stage so that he can't attend the marriage reception of his son.so his mother cini who was staying in the town did each and everything for the marriage.
The bride and groom enjoyed a lot ....as their father and mother too ...earlier
They loved each other... as their parents do earlier!
The function was very grand just as their father and mother's reception also was!
The very old mother of sajeev said him ,that day was his son's marriage.He can hear her but unable to respond.His mind may sometimes tried to bliss him!
They didn't came because they didn't know if he can understand or not! if memory exist or not? either conscious or not?
Someone ask "where is your father? Is he alright? or any difference in his condition"?
"no change,not conscious! what do we do?how long shall we expect a change? "but it was answered by his mother.
We can improve a function ...We can improve facilities with money...but ....Can we buy happiness ,peace,love,affection? Which is the safest place for a soul to reside?....Whether he is safe in love marriage,safe in health,safe in wealth?safe in good job and facilities? safe with friends and relatives? Where death is not a solution...and suicide a sin!
Where is the safest place for a soul to reside? free from illness....free from hatred.....free from problems...free from worries...an invulnerable place....to reside safely...safely for ever?
