You know what you really needed from your life when you are living on with your last breath and not incidentally but being totally realistic you acknowledge the fact that the greatest thing you can learn in your life is to love and to be loved…Today I am here with a simple story of a man for whom life meant only a person, love meant only a soul and to be loved meant only an individual’s presence in his life…
It was a summer after noon…
Akshath: was asleep in front of his laptop…
A voice from behind came in…
Apekhsha: how many times did I tell you not to sleep…keeping your laptop open?
Akshath: Apekhsha…ah I didn’t realize when I fell asleep…so sorry…I was preparing for the meeting tomorrow…
Apekhsha: ah you’re meeting…so where are we going tonight?
Akshath: I totally forgot about it…I might be bit late can we postpone it to next week?
Apekhsha: this is the third week in a row you are asking about it…i know you are busy but you know you need to spend time for yourself…this stress is killing you.
Akshath: am so sorry…I promise I would get a break from my work next week…
That day…Akshath while driving back home after the meeting met with an accident…when he was taken to the hospital …only thing that came to his mind was…Apekhsha
He remembered how Apekhsha left her entire world for him…he cursed himself for not having time for her beloved for whom he meant the entire world…he kept on going busy about his work but she accepted it without a word…he worried about his business all the time but only person she cared was he…Akshath didn’t even think of his love all these days…but now when he was breathing his last…he blamed himself for what he couldn’t give to his loving beloved…
Akshath was taken to the hospital…and everything went on in a silent mode …before Apekhsha finally appeared before her…
Apekhsha my time is over…But before that inevitable happens...I must tell you few things...every day when I wake up, the first thing that I do is to think about you by looking at your photograph...my life has changed since I last saw you...but I must admit every time I need to take any decision in my life...I think about you...and think what would you have done if you were in my place...in my day to day life there's not a single accomplishment however minute it may be...that I didn’t want share with you...when at times am losing my way through...I only wished you be my side so that your presence makes me feel I can't loose...
I am feeling bit drowsy…dear but before I choke I must tell you…I would have done anything I can if I were given a single opportunity to undo whatever that has gone through ...and as you know you were, you are & you will be the only person in my life whom I love…I am repeating this again though it’s late for me now…
Akshath hugged Apekhsha with tears in his eyes…
Apekhsha: don’t cry it’s not the end but the beginning…!!!
Akshath died that day and he died way before he reached to the hospital…and it wasn’t him that was speaking to his love but his soul…expressing his love to the one whom he loved…
If you are wondering why and what was he speaking to Apekhsha…well let me tell you apeskha died 3 years back due to cancer.
Akshath did his best to save his love but he couldn’t do so…and for the past 3 years…Akshath in spite of losing his soul mate often found her beside him whenever he needed her.
People around him thought he became crazy after losing Apekhsha as he was often found talking to some imaginary person whom he created for himself. This imaginary person was none other than Apekhsha ….as Apekhsha quoted death is not the end…it’s the beginning.
This story isn’t an imaginary one…but a real story of a person who lived through the memories of his beloved. Though he only lived for 3 years after losing his beloved but those 3 years were inspirational to all those people who loved…
Those three years were the one where he knew what love is…and what love could lead him to…he never missed Apekhsha as he could find her whenever he needed her the most…though she was dead for the entire world…she was there with Akshath all the time.
You know death cannot be a barrier for those who love…love is immortal and it doesn’t end with one’s life…!!!
