THE ECHO OF SOULS : A LOVE BEYOND WORDS
The story is about love. Sanketh, an ordinary man, arrives in a new city with hopes of working hard and building a life. Shy and introverted, he has had little experience with women. Each day, he commutes to his office by bus, and at the bus stand, he is drawn to Sanjana, a strikingly beautiful girl who catches his eye. Many boys were after Sanjana, but she didn't even glance their way. One day, a brief moment of eye contact occurred between her and Sanketh. The next day, Sanketh noticed a rose had fallen near her. He picked it up and asked if it belonged to her. Sanjana, misunderstanding his intentions, responded, "Don’t use such cheap flirting tactics, stay within your limits." Sanketh, taken aback, replied, "Sorry, madam, I genuinely thought it was yours. I wasn’t flirting. I know you're very beautiful, but why would someone like you love an average-looking orphan like me? I understand my limits." Realizing her mistake, Sanjana felt sad and apologized, offering a handshake. Sanketh gently declined, saying, "I’d accept if you truly meant it, but if this is out of sympathy, there’s no need to do it just for formality," and moved aside.
A few days later, a very beautiful girl arrived at the bus stand, instantly drawing the attention of all the boys, who even ignored Sanjana. As Sanjana was walking, she accidentally bumped into the beautiful girl, scattering her papers everywhere. While everyone was busy helping the new girl, Sanjana remained unnoticed. Sanketh approached Sanjana, helped her up from the road, and asked if she was hurt. She replied that she was fine and, with a smile, said, "Thanks for helping. Can we get to know each other? I’m asking because you helped me, not out of sympathy." Both laughed and introduced themselves.
As their friendship deepened, Sanjana and Sanketh grew closer, sharing their thoughts and dreams. One day, as they sat together, Sanjana asked, “What is love to you?”
Sanketh smiled and said, “Love is like death. It can come to anyone, at any time, and in any way. But we still have the power to decide when, how, and with whom it happens.” They both laughed at the unconventional comparison, finding humor in its truth.
Curious, Sanketh then asked, “And what is love to you?”
Sanjana looked thoughtful, then knelt down before him and said, “I’m not entirely sure what love is. But can you show me?” With tears of joy welling up in his eyes, Sanketh accepted her heartfelt proposal, their laughter and love intertwining in that tender moment. Sanketh has a wish that his first hug should be with his wife, right after their wedding. So, even though they are committed to each other, they avoid being physical.
As days turned into months and months into years, their bond only deepened. Each day was filled with shared moments, growing affection, and mutual support. The love they had discovered in each other evolved into a profound and enduring partnership. Time flew by, marked by their laughter, their dreams, and the countless small gestures that solidified their connection. Through the passing years, their relationship became a beautiful testament to the love they had promised each other, a love that continued to grow stronger with every passing day. One day, Sanjana fell seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital. After an examination, the doctor recommended transferring her to a specialized facility far from their hometown for advanced treatment. As they prepared for the journey, Sanketh stayed by her side, offering unwavering support and hope despite the uncertainty of the situation. Later, Sanketh received an urgent call to report to the office immediately. Torn between his commitment to Sanjana’s care and the demands of his job, he faced a...
