He rushed to the hospital for an emergency case. After 3hrs of surgery, he stepped out of the OT successfully saving the patient's life. It was a very difficult case, but he managed to save her.
Her family thanked him for saving their only daughter and also blessed him. He smiled and asked them to thank god and not him, because it was their prayers and god himself , who gave her a new life.
Parents: U will go a lot ahead my son!
May God bless u Sameer!
Yes, it was Sameer!
Dr.Sameer Maheshwari , who was a famous cancer specialist and who dealt with cases of neurology also.
It was a tuesday morning and he sat in his cabin in City hospital, looking through a patient's report. Though he was offered highly paid jobs in private hospitals, he preferred to work in government hospital as he felt inclined to serve the needy ones, who actually needed more service. But he also used to take up difficult cases in private hospitals also and whatever amount he used to get,he donated a large part of it to cancer foundations and NGOs and orphanages.

He finished studying the case and stepped out of the hospital,to get some fresh air.
A young man was running towards him, carrying an unconscious girl in his hands. Sameer couldn't see her face. All that he could make out, is that it was an emergency. By then the man came to him and
Man(crying): Doctor, ...plz...help ...my...sister....she...
fainted...plz...i....don't have...money now...u start her... treatment....and I will...pay the amount....as soon as possible....plz...save..her...I don't have anyone else....apart from her...plz
S: listen, calm down..nothing will happen to her....plz shant hojaiye... Don't worry about money now..... just bring her in!

They rushed inside. He placed the girl on the stretcher, while Sameer instructed the nurse to take her to the ward.
He had to first examine her to know what was wrong.

The girl was taken to the private ward . Giving an assuring look to the man, he went inside the ward. A nurse asked the man to fulfill all the formalities. He did so.
Meanwhile, Sameer examined her. Her face looked fallen and weak. Yet she looked beautiful. Her eyes were like a deer's eyes. Innocence prevailed on her face. She looked truly like an angel.
He gave a list of tests to be performed on her to the nurse. He stepped out and saw the man pacing along the corridor. Looking at Sameer, he ran to him.
Man: How is my sister? Kaisi hain? Kya hua hain use? Acahnak se behoosh ho gayi! Voh theek to hojayegi na? Boliye na!

S: Dekhiye, aap shaant ho jaiye! Abhi kuch tests conduct ho rahe hain. Reports aate hi, pata lag jayega ki aakhir baat kya hain.
Main samjta hoon ki aapko kaisa lag raha hain....meri behan....chutki...voh bhi....Kuch saalon pehle....accident...voh comma mein chali gayi..aur uske 2 mahine baad...guzar gayi...
Sameer's eyes were filled with tears. He was an orphan with only his sister, but after she died, he decided to live and work for those people who were needy. He worked hard and has come to this stage of being a renowned cancer specialist.
After a long time, he shared this with someone.

Coming back from the memories of his past, he asked "Aapka naam kya hain?"
The man replied "Arjun, aur voh meri behan, Naina hain"
Hearing her name, he somehow felt connected with her.
'Naina' he repeated in his mind.
The reports had come by then and Sameer went inside. Standing near her bed, he was examining the reports and what they showed...he was shocked. She had stage 3 leukemia!

He had never felt so broken in his life for a stranger. He had treated many cancer patients, yet never had he felt this way with any of them.
With a heavy heart, he stepped out of the ward
S: Arjun...voh...Naina....
A: Kya hua Naina ko? Theek to ho jayegi na?
S: Use stage 3 leukemia hain!
Arjun was shocked hearing it. He sat with a thud on the ground and started crying. Sameer bent down and assured him that he will try his best to cure her.
A: Par ilaaj ke liye ....paise...kaha se...lau...
S: Tum chinta mat karo, mujhe paise nahi chahiye...
A: Par main aise....muft mein ilaaj.. nahi!
S: Toh phir 10 rupaiye de do!
A: Kya? Sirf 10 rupaiye??
S: Haan! Mujhe nahi chahiye paise...mere paas bahut hain...main kya karunga in paison ka? Aur vaise bhi, ab sabse zyaada zaroori, tumhari behan ka ilaaj hain!
A: Aap bahut acche ho! Par main yeh nahi kar sakta! Meri behan ka dhyaan rakhiyega..uska ilaaj ...sab theek se ...main ..roz kaam karke.. installments mein de dunga!
S: Par...
A: Plz par var kuch nahi!
Understanding that he won't budge, Sameer relented though reluctantly.
S: Theek hain!

It was evening when Naina regained consciousness. Looking around , she found herself in a hospital. She tried to get up but felt very weak. By then, Sameer entered and seeing her efforts to get up, he spoke
S: Aap uthne ki koshish mat kijiye! Aap pehle se hi bahut kamzor hain! Aap lete rahiye, Naina ji!
Naina gets mesmerized looking at Sameer, and she can clearly see the concern in his eyes, but regaining herself
N: Ji Aap? Arjun Bhaiya....voh....
He feels pleasant hearing her sweet voice.
S: Voh kaam pe gaye hain! Main Sameer hoon, aapka doctor.
N: Doctor.....mujhe..kya hua hain?
With a sad face and a heavy heart,
S: Aapko...voh ..stage 3 leukemia hain!
N: Kya??...
Tears flow down her eyes.
N: Agar mujhe kuch ho gaya toh Bhaiya akele ho jayenge! Unka khayal kaun rakhega?

Sameer was astound seeing her selflessness. She was crying not because she was ill with a disease,which might take her life or she might be able to fight it, but because her brother would be alone, with no one to look after. Sameer involuntarily goes towards her and wipes her tears. She gets touched by his small action. She looks at him, her eyes holding mixed emotions and they share an eyelock.

S: Main tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga! I will try my best!
Naina smiles a weak smile and says
N: Thank you.. Sameer ji!
He feels some unknown feelings, hearing his name in her sweet voice.
He started the necessary treatment.

3days later,
Arjun was sitting near Naina's bed. She was in a tilted position. There was complete silence in the room. Sameer opened the door gently, seeing Arjun, was about to close and go when he heard Naina's voice
N: Bhaiya! Kab tak aap akele rahoge? Mera koi bharosa nahi main iss bemaari se nikal bhi paungi ya nahi! Mere jaane ke baad aapka khayal kaun rakhega?
A: Chup kar! Kuch nahi hoga tujhe! Tu rahegi mere saath! Tera ilaaj mashoor doctor Sameer kar rahe hain! Tujhe kuch nahi hone denge!
N: Mujhe pata hain voh mujhe theek karne ke liye kuch bhi karenge, par uparwale ki marzi ke aage voh bhi kuch nahi kar payenge! Bhaiya, mere liye...meri aakhri iccha samajh kar....plz shaadi kar lijiye!
A: Aakhri iccha....agar yeh baat dobara boli na, toh main tujhse kabhi bhi baat nahi karoonga!
Naina smiles and takes his hand in hers
N: Bhaiya, aage kya hoga voh koi nahi jaanta, plz aap Shaadi kar lijiye....mere liye...plz bhaiya....plz
He had to give in to her request, her emotional blackmail.
A: Theek hain, par mujhse kaun shaadi karega? Bol...kaunsi ladki mujhse Shaadi karegi?
Naina smiles and says
N: Shefali!
Arjun's eyes widen and
A: Shefali!! Yeh..kya..kaise..
N: Voh aapse bachpan se pyaar karti hain! Usne mujhe bataya tha! Par aapne kabhi uski oor dekha bhi nahi,isliye kabhi uski himmat nahi hui aapse apne dil ki baat kehne ki!
A: Kya?...voh....voh..mujhse... pyaar toh main bhi usse karta hoon par....meri himmat nahi hui...voh itni modern hain...I thought she will never like me...
N: Aap usse pyaar karte hain to kabhi bataya hi nahi.....ek baar batake toh dekhte...
A: I was afraid of rejection...mujhe laga ek tarfa pyaar aur uska dost bane rehna is much better than pyaar pane ke chakkar mein uski dosti kho dena...
N: Bhaiya, aapka pyaar kabhi bhi ek tarfa nahi tha...aap jaake use propose kar dijiye..voh bahut khush ho jayegi...aur vaise bhi maine use bhabhi maan liya hain!
A: Bhabhi...
N: Haan! Ab dono ko pyaar hain toh shaadi bhi karenge na..toh hui na voh meri bhabhi....
Arjun slightly blushes. Seeing this, Naina teases him
N: Haye! Haye! Bhaiya sharma rahe hain...kya baat hain..ab aap jayenge aur meri bhabhi ko le aayenge ya yahi sharmate hue baithe rahenge
A: Chup! Meri tang kheechna band kar...jaata hoon main .

Sameer, who had been listening to their conversation,feels more drawn into her.
He closes the door gently and goes to his cabin. Sitting in his cabin,
S(in mind): Tum kis kahani ki pari ho Naina? Tum itni acchi kaise ho? Sab apne baare mein sochte hain par tum,aisi halat mein bhi, doosron ke baare mein sochti ho...Tum sirf bahar se hi nahi, andar se bhi bahut khoobsurat ho...main tumhe kuch nahi hone doonga..
His admiration and respect for her grew even more.

On the other hand,
After Arjun left, she sat pondering.
N(in mind): Ek tarfa pyaar.....mera pyaar ek tarfa hain....jab use pehli baar dekha tha na, usi waqt usse pyaar ho gaya mujhe...uske baad usne jaise mujhse baat ki...mera pyaar toh aur gehra ho gaya tumhare liye...par main jaanti hoon ki tum mujhse kabhi bhi pyaar nahi kar sakte...aur waise bhi mujhe pata bhi nahi ki main jeeungi bhi ya nahi....ye beemari...mujhe nahi pata mera kya hoga...bas itna pata hain ki I love you, Sameer!

Days passed . Her treatment was going on. She had shown a lot of improvement. During this time, her love for him deepened all the more while he too started to fall in love with her.
One day, she was reading a magazine, sitting in a slightly tilted position. He came. She looked up and smiled at him.
He came and sat near her and held her hand. She was shocked. Before she could react, he said
S: Naina, isse pehle ki tum kuch bolo, plz meri baat sun lo....main tumhe kuch batana chahta hoon...
He gently squeezed her hand. She kept her other hand on his and said
N: Bolo Sameer!
Her sweet voice and her hand on his gave him the courage to open up about his feelings about her.
S: I love you, Naina!
She was shocked. Tears began to flow down from her eyes, which he wiped with a sweep of his hand.
S: I ....am sorry Naina! Mera irada tumhe chot pahunchane ka nahi tha..I am very sorry....plz don't cry...I can't see u cry...bhool jao ki kabhi maine aisa kuch kaha....I am sorry..

Taking her silence as rejection, he stood up and turned to leave, but was shocked when she held his hand. He looked back and her eyes conveyed how much love she had for him. He immediately hugged her. She wrapped her arms tightly around him and reciprocated his hug. In the same manner, she spoke
N: I love you too....jab tumhe pehli baar dekha tabhi tumse pyaar ho gaya...aaj tak main yahi sochti rahi ki mera pyaar ek tarfa hain...main tumse bahut pyaar karti hoon...
He was touched by her words. Both cried, happy tears flowing down their faces.
He gently broke the hug and kissed her forehead.
He left from there, both happily lost in recalling their mutual confession of love, just a while back.
Few more days passed. Arjun and Shefali were a married couple now and they knew about Samaina.
Suddenly, one day, Naina's condition worsened. Sameer tried all ways to treat her..but....
Naina realised that it was time for her to leave..
Not able to take the fact that she was dying and he couldn't do anything, he held her hand and cried. She gently caressed his hair and in a weak voice told
N: Mera waqt aagaya Sameer....mujhe jana hoga ab..
Samee looked up with teary eyes and told
S: Nahi Naina! Aise kaise main tumhe jaane doonga? Tum mujhe chodkar nahi ja sakti.....I love you ....main..Nahi..
He cried more and hugged her. She wrapped her arms around him.
N: Mere paas zyada waqt nahi hain...mujhe jana hoga.. mujhe maaf kardo....par ek baat yaad rakhna ki main tumse bahut pyaar karti hoon...I love you...Sam..e.r...
The line was flat in the machine. She took her last breath in his arms. By then, Arjun and Shefali rushed inside and were devastated to find that Naina was no more....
Sameer, unable to accept her death shouted to her, shaking her
S:N... Nahi! Naina....tum mujhe chodkar nahi ja sakti.....main kaise rahoonga tumhare bina... Naina! Sun rahi ho na! Plz utho...yeh mazaak band karo..
Arjun tries to console him but in vain. Suddenly he collapses on the ground. The other doctor checks him and with a heavy heart declares him dead.

After performing the last rites of Samaina's bodies,Arjun stands in front of their burning pyres, along with Shefali
A: They were true soul mates. They were each others breath and life. They couldn't have lived without each other.... god dint let them live together but atleast they died together..unhone saabit kar diya ki saccha pyaar kya hota hain....
Shefali: Tumne sahi kaha....ab voh jahan bhi honge..sath honge...

Hello people. This is my first OS.. plz COMMENT and VOTE
The last part I have typed with a heavy heart...but this had to be...in real life, most of the cancer patients die..showing a filmy ending where she recovers(when actually chances are low in stage 3) and they live happily ever after ,would have spoilt the whole plot set up....
My salute to all those families who are leading life, having lost their near and dear ones to cancer.
There are few cases in real life, where couples have died due to one dying before the other and the other not being able to process the loss, and hence dying too

Plz COMMENT
Lovingly,
Pratyu
