I heard this story when I was very small from my parents. But I still treasure the message it conveys. You too may have heard it in your childhood, but in childhood, it was just a story … but no one told me the second part of the story which I came to know much later.

Once there was a jungle and many animals lived in it. Amongst them lived a small family of a sparrow, his wife, and two kids. They were very happy in the lush green forest and had very understanding and caring neighbors. They all used to help each other in times of difficulties and shared all joy’s and pains together.

The crow was the eldest member of the family and he used to visit sparrow’s house daily.

Once there was a thunderstorm in the forest with heavy rains and all animals and birds moved to their homes. Unfortunately, the crow’s house was washed away in heavy rains. He knew the sparrow very well so thought of going to her place.

He knocked at her door but she said that she was busy giving a bath to her kid. The crow waited patiently all drenched wet. After some time again he knocked on the door, but this time the sparrow said that she was busy making her baby sleep and asked him to be a little more patient. Again after some time, the crow knocked the door only to hear the sparrow say that she was busy feeding her little one. Alas! the crow flew away from there.

After some time, the rains stopped and the sparrow realized how horrible rain it had been outside in the forest and how she kept the crow waiting all the time. After realizing this she hurriedly went and opened the door but there was no one outside. she felt a little bad about it but soon got engrossed in her work thinking that he might return later sometime.

Every day she would wait for the crow and a week passed by. Sometimes she felt that someone was knocking at the door and with the expectation to see the crow, opened it only to find that it was just her imagination. Now, she got desperate and wanted to know what happened that night when it was raining heavily… was the crow safe? where was he? why was he not coming to meet her? was he angry with her? So… many questions kept coming to her mind but it was impossible for her to keep her little ones at home and search for the crow. Still somehow one day she gathered courage and went in the forest all alone to search for the crow. she kept moving all day long without even having a grain to eat. she kept moving from one tree to another in search of the crow calling ‘ chew’  ‘ chew’ … but she could not find him.

At last tired, she decided to give up the search and sat on the branch wondering what might have happened the stormy night and thinking was it right on her part to neglect the crow.  She was drowned in her own thoughts when she saw a crow coming to her. she recognized him and her eyes were filled with tears of joy. On one hand, she felt sorry for neglecting him on a stormy night and on the other she felt happy to see him safe. The crow immediately took her to his home and told her that she was busy that stormy night but he too had to take care of his family so he build a separate nest and was so busy that then after never ever returned to the sparrow’s house.

The crow said, ” Sparrow dear, my doors will be always open to you no matter what time it is. You are always welcome to my home and I will be present to greet you”. On these words, tears rolled down the sparrow’s eyes and she knew that the crow would never ever return back to her. With a heavy heart, she left the place and kept wondering whether she should feel happy that the crow found his own home or she should feel sad because he no longer cared for her.

Aren’t our lives also such? Someone loves us truly and keeps us in his/ her prayers, messages us,  calls us but sometimes we just ignore saying that ” we are busy..” For whom are we earning then? If it is for them then can’t we give them a little bit of our time? If relations aren’t that important to us then what is the differnce between humans and machines?

Have you ever thought of the day, if that person who loves you dearly finds the other way out and stops coming to you? Will, you not miss him/her? It is not always that someone keeps loving you. Everything changes with time and some things gone are GONE FOREVER! Ignore a person once and you’ll teach him/ her to live without you. Are you prepared to live without them? If NO, you still have time, go to them and tell them how much they matter to you before it’s too late.  Because some changes in life can never ever be reversed they become memories and only memories have the capacity to make you smile or cry . The choice yours!

Something’s which only ‘TIME’ decides

My friend was scolding me, ” chappal lekar marunga tuze. kyu apni life ek ladki ke peche barbad karne pe tula hai, bhool jaa use aur tere mummy – papa ki baat maan kar naye rishte ke liye haa bol de, jaa kar ek baar mil to le fir decide karna”. I don’t know why but I was simply unable to forget Kavya. She was my first love. she was kind of girl who could easily make up my mood from my texts, who would call me up at 2 A.M and chat with me, who would fall sick deliberately just to have me by her side,  who would simply go to any extent just to have me around. I still remember, when I had gone to Germany for higher studies and she was in India, we had a time difference of four and half hours. She used to stay awake at 2 am and chat with me  or just wait for my message and when I asked her why she was awake, she just casually replied ” neend nahi aati mujze”. I was the reason for her sleepless nights. It was simply impossible for me to forget the girl who had given me EVERYTHING in life.

Trying to look as normal as possible I decided to meet the girl whom my parents wanted me to meet.  Myself and Aparna met in a restaurant and she was a little nervous. For all the time I was busy with my mobile barely paying attention to what she was saying. I  had made up my mind that I will never marry any girl in my life. I had a call from my office and my boss wanted me to prepare a presentation immediately. I asked Aparna if she could accompany me to the office so that later on I could chat with her and save myself from the horrible scolding’s from my parents. She too agreed and it was just a matter of half an hour and she decided to wait for me outside the office.

But it took me really long to complete the work and I went downstairs after 5 long hours completely forgetting that she was waiting for me. But I was surprised to find that she was waiting for me and when I asked her why she waited so long, she just innocently replied ” Ghar jati to daat padti – aapko  aur mujze bhi .” For a moment I felt nostalgic. Kavya did not bother to wait for me to get a decent job and this girl whom I didn’t know much waited for me just to have a chat. That was the moment I fell in love with her and told her everything about my past relationship with Kavya. I told her how Kavya always wanted me to find a job and marry her, I always felt she wanted me to work and earn money and one day when I finally didn’t go for the interview which she had scheduled she left me saying that I was totally irresponsible and unreliable person.

Once again I started enjoying my life and it was filled with love for Aparna. But kavya was always there on my mind. For the first time I felt that relationships are like drugs: they either kill you or give you the best feeling of your life. The date of our marriage was also fixed and things were moving with a fast pace. Time was flying.

As luck would have it, one day by chance I met Kavya again in an office. Soon she got my number and started contacting me seeing me work in a big MNC. I told her bluntly that I was no longer interested in her and that I was in love with some another girl. But she could sense my love for her and kept following me. Early morning 2 A.M she tried to call me only to find my phone was busy. She immediately understood that I was chatting with Aparna. She texted “those red circles in the notebook were much better than today’s blue ticks, at least I knew where I made a mistake. Please give me one more chance and meet me- kavya.”

But instead of me going there to meet her, Aparna went there and came to know a harsh fact. She came to know that Kavya had left me just to make me realize my responsibilities and start working. She had faced a tough life as she was living all alone in the city and her mother was staying back in the village. Her father had expired long back. Still Aparna pleaded her to forget the past and forget me. Out of anger and frustration Kavya spoke rudely with Aparna.

Kavya loved me truly. All she wanted was to see me happy so she decided to move away from our life and she came to meet us both and said ‘ SORRY’.  I cannot describe how I felt. From her perspective she was perfectly right. For once I surely felt that I was wrong in leaving her. Instead of understanding her love for me, I misunderstood her. There was pin drop silence and she left saying nothing at all.

I and Aparna decided to make a fresh beginning and decided to go to a temple. In between she saw a man selling corn and quickly got down from the bike. Without thinking for a moment she ran crossing the road just to get the corn and was met by the speeding truck and died on the spot.

Once again, I was all alone – Kavya and Aparna both had left me. When I came back from Aparna’s funeral and re-read her last what’s app chat, I found a heart she sent was still beating and could not stop my tears.

Today, I have started fearing love just because there is only difference of one letter from

‘Loving’ to ‘ Losing’.  Time flies you say, alas! We pass, time stays!

 

 

 

 

Diwali was fast approaching and everyone nearby was busy in cleaning their houses, preparing festive dishes, planning a holiday out with family and friends and myself… I was just sitting in my balcony wiping my spectacles trying to read a newspaper. My daughter had got married fourteen years back and my son was staying in America. Four years had passed he had not come to India to meet us. We just had a chance to see him and my little grandson over a video call.

Memories are too strange, sometimes you smile remembering the times you cried together and sometimes you cry remembering the times you laughed together. My eyes were moist with tears so no matter how hard I tried to wipe my spectacles clean, I could not read. Rather I never wanted to read but just to kill the time I was trying to read something and divert my mind. Yes, today I was missing my kids and wanted them to be by side.

My husband, Sunil would often console me saying that it’s their age to earn money and enjoy life. So what if they are away from us, we can still call them and feel loved. But I knew that deep down he was also broken. Every single morning he used to see the news update to see if there is some risk of cyclone or anything like that in America and would immediately call our son, Avi -in case he saw something in news trying to make sure that he was safe. As a protective father, he always cared for our children no matter where they were. He would not speak to me regarding this but when he went with his friends he would often say that he was worried about me. What would happen to me after his demise, how would I live alone? Will my son come here at least for the last rites or will he just send a condolence message over an email?  All this things bothered him and I knew it even though he never expressed it before me.

Today was not different at all, and when Sunil returned from the morning walk he found me sitting the balcony wiping tears. He understood that I was missing our kids too much. He understood every word which I didn’t speak. He said nothing at all and went inside the room as if he had not noticed me crying.

Then suddenly he called up my son. It must be around 2 A.M there in America and he yelled at the top of his voice that “for 28 years I have been tolerating tantrums of your mom and it is difficult for me to live with her anymore. She isn’t practical in her approach towards life and so I have decided that we will get divorced” My son, Avi was literally taken aback, he just thought that my husband who always pretended to be so loving, caring and protective, how he could behave like this. Or was it that this attitude was there just for their upbringing, just a ‘ drama’? Whatever the case was, Avi was worried and immediately called up my daughter mentioning all this. He always felt that daughters know how to handle their fathers better than the sons.

The very next moment my daughter called up Sunil asking him the reasons for his behaviour. But I was just sitting there seeing all this happen not knowing what would happen next. I thought that due to my emotional nature Sunil was fed up and I was now speechless. For 28 years we were together and now he wanted to live alone….

I was trying to listen to the conversation and my daughter said “ wait for a week, both us- myself and Avi  will come there  in Diwali vacation and sort out the things, let me ask him to book tickets to India. WAIT TILL WE COME AND PLEASE DONT DO ANYTHING IN HASTE”

Saying this she hung up the phone. My husband, Sunil later came into the balcony with a cup of tea and biscuits for me and said “See, you wanted them to come here for Diwali isn’t it? Now let’s begin celebrations EVERYONE is coming…our children are coming…” This was a perfect Diwali gift from my husband which I never expected to come to me in an UNEXPECTED WAY….The news of our separation had worked like atom bombs on the minds of our children and they were coming back to India to visit us. I simply couldn’t stop myself and wept keeping my head on his shoulders for his caring nature.

Thanks Sunil for being my loving, caring, protective and understanding life partner – A multi tasker who knows how to get things done in most unexpected ways..

Eagerly waiting for your valuable comments.

Archana Prabhune.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eternal Love..

It had been a year since her husband had passed in a road accident. Life had changed drastically for her for she had never ever even imagined a life without him. The bond of love they shared was very special and unique.

It was their first marriage anniversary without Abhi being besides her. Abhi knew that Anna loved red roses too much so every time on their anniversary he made it a point to gift her red roses with a small note “Dear Anna I love you even more this year, than last year on this day. My love for you will always grow with every passing year” and Anna was always excited to read it. Red was her favourite colour.

This time she was missing him dearly so she just locked herself inside the room and wore the pretty red dress which Abhi had gifted her on their 7^th marriage anniversary and played the song ‘lady in red…’ she got lost somewhere listening to it sitting with Abhi’s photograph deeply clenched to her chest and tears flowing down her cheeks with no one around to wipe them. All she wished was Abhi would come out of the photo frame, hug her, and say that it was just a bad dream. But unfortunately it wasn’t. While she was deeply lost in his memories just then the door bell rang. Anna tried to control her feelings and wiping her tears she went to open the door. A florist was standing outside with the bunch of red roses for her and wished her a happy marriage anniversary. Anna just closed the door and was speechless. Abhi had left her a year ago then how would he send roses to her?

She just touched the petals gently and read the note which had the same message as the earlier ones. In the state of shock she called the florist’s shop and inquired about the sender. Why would someone do this to her, causing her such pain?

The florist replied; ‘I know your husband passed away just a year ago but the flowers which you received today were paid for in advance. Your husband always planned ahead and he left nothing to chance. There is a standing instruction on the file to deliver it to you same day every year with the payment made in advance. There is also one more thing that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card and he did it years ago and he said that in case he is dead that should be delivered to you in the following year’

Now Anna was inconsolable, sobbing and wiping her tears with shaking fingers she tried to open the card and she stared at the letter in total silence and this is what Abhi had written..

‘Hello Anna,

I know it has been sometime since I left you and I hope it hasn’t been too hard for you to overcome. I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real. For if it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life. I loved you more than the words could say and you were a perfect wife. You understood simple things which were un said. You were my friend and lover and fulfilled my every need. I know it’s hard to live but please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy even when you shed your tears and that is why the roses will be sent to you for years.

When you get these roses think of all the happiness we had together and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I always will. But my love, you must go on, you have some living still. Please try to find happiness while living out your days, I know it’s not easy but try to find some ways.

The roses will come every year and they will only stop when the door’s not answered and the florist stops to knock. He will come five times that day in case you have gone out but after his last visit he will know without a doubt, to take the roses to the place where I have instructed him and place the roses where we are together once again. Love, Abhi..’

Waiting for your valuable comments.

 

 

 

” How much time will the doctor take to come to the hospital, what will happen if my son dies? who will be responsible?”  lamented Arun’s father.

Arun was fond of adventure sports and his father never really liked it. Arun was his only son and so he was over protective about him. One day Arun went for cycling on the mountains with his friends and did not even bother to inform his parents. While getting down from the mountains the bicycle slipped and Arun fell into a valley. It took almost two hours for Arun’s friends to get him back. He was all drenched in blood from head to toes. His friends were really scared seeing his condition as he had a serious head injury, multiple fractures and had lost consciousness. They thought of informing his parents as they were not quite certain whether he would survive  or not.

His parents rushed to the accident spot and meanwhile the ambulance was arranged. His father and mother both were sitting besides him in the ambulance holding his hands tightly and praying for him. All they could see was a pool of blood around Arun. A mixed feeling of anger, worry  and sadness was going on his father’s mind.

Soon they reached hospital and rushed Arun to an emergency ward. He was taken for CT Scan and MRI and also his heart beats were being monitored on ECG. His parents were watching him being given primary treatment from the glass window.

What a strange feeling it was, a mother who keeps on telling her little child to make a straight line in the note-book while studying was praying God not to make a straight line on the ECG!

Soon it was diagnosed that he needed an immediate surgery to be performed. But unfortunately the doctor wasn’t available. A little delay could prove fatal. His father kept roaming in the hospital corridor and asking the hospital staff about the surgeon’s expected arrival time.

He yelled at the nurse ” Are aap muze  Dr sahaab ka number do, I  will call him, agar der ho gayi to I will lose my son, is the party so important that he cannot attend the surgery on time?”

He was just yelling and the Dr arrived. He was so depressed that he held the Dr by his collar and told him ” I will take you to court if my son dies due to your delay.” The Dr didn’t speak a word and rushed to the Operation Theatre. It took 5 long hours to perform the operation and after the operation the Dr just came out and said that everything was ok. His father wanted to thank the Dr but the  dr just didn’t wait and hurriedly went somewhere.

The next day, his father was waiting for the dr to thank him but he found some other dr was attending Arun and not the one who had operated him. He wanted to thank the dr so he went to the nurse and inquired about him.  The reply from the nurse simply shook him…. The nurse said,

” That day when you were yelling about the delay caused by the Dr he was attending funeral of his wife who had just passed away. He received  an emergency call from hospital for your son and immediately rushed here, keeping all his emotions away he performed the surgery and saved your son. Post operation he rushed back to the crematorium again to perform the remaining last rites”

Hearing this, his father simply didn’t know what to say and he felt really sorry for  his behaviour. Why do we at times forget that a Dr is also a human being? God has made us all beautiful human beings but the little acts of kindness makes us all Humane isn’t it?

Looking forward to your comments.

Archana Prabhune.

 

 

 

 

Anu was getting ready to go with Anish on a long ride. It was saturday and both had planned a day out to enjoy their period post engagement. Anu was very cautious, kind-hearted girl whereas Anish exactly opposite. Would love to take chances in life and always making fun.

He used to tease Anu a lot on silly matters and she too liked being teased by him all the time. But some of his tricks would sweep Anu off her feet.

On one such instance Anu was going to visit her in laws house with no one around except Anish. Anish decided to play a prank  with her that day. He left the main door open and just when the door bell rang immediately rushed to his bedroom. He held the electric lamp which was lying near his bed tightly in his hand and started shivering as if he was having an electric shock. When Anu rushed to his room she didn’t know what to do seeing Anish in this condition. But she was extra cautious, she took a wooden guitar lying near by and tried to hit his hand to separate it from the lamp… Seeing guitar in her hands Anish folded his hands quickly got up from the bed and said ” sab thik hai meri maa…. mat maro mujhe”  Now, she understood it was only a prank and the scene which followed later was just un-imaginable… Anish kept singing ” Hum tum ek kamre me bandh ho…..But Anu put finger on his lips and added few lines… ” aur mummy aa jaye…”

This time Anu was really angry and told him not to play such pranks. ” Jaan nikal jati hai meri, aaisa mat kiya karo tum..” Anish would be even more happy on this remark and say ” tum hi to jaan ho meri.. kaise jaogi? ” ” khuda na kare kabhi jana bhi pada to laut kar aunga tumhare liye…”

Both were eager for a long ride. It was a month of June and a little rain had happened a week before making the place even more romantic. Both were now riding a bike and decided to go to a hill-side. The roads were wet and slippery and Anu kept telling Anish to drive slowly. But he was in no mood to listen. Didn’t even wear a helmet that day and wanted Anu to hug him tightly on the bike giving a kiss on every turn.

But Destiny had something else in store for them…Suddenly the bike slipped and a terrible accident occurred. Anu was hurt  and had multiple fractures but Anish was even more hurt. Soon there was a sound of ambulance rushing the spot and the people near by had gathered to help. In the hospital, Anu was in different ward and Anish in a different one. After gaining somewhat consciousness Anu was just uttering one name  ‘Anish’. She inquired with the doctors and the nurses nearby about him but no one would answer. She didn’t know what to do and immediately tried to rush near the ICU in the wheel chair. She was speechless after seeing him surrounded with tubes inserted all over in his body and doctors nearby with injections in their hands. Soon the ECG showed a flat line…… Life was over for him .

But Anu could not take it, She went inside the ICU and asked the doctors to try once more. She kept her head on his chest and wept saying that he had broken his promise that he would return back from the heaven above just for her! But as they say “ LOVE CAN CREATE MIRACLES..” so it happened , Anish breathed.. Even doctors could not believe it. Anish winked at her one more time saying.. ” See I kept my promise , I will never ever leave you and I have come back just FOR YOU! Anu knew, it wasn’t a prank this time and he had seriously kept his promise.

Kindly comment if you like the story.

Archana Prabhune..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anu was sitting in her veranda with her six year old daughter playing around her. For quite some time now, she was just looking out in a zero. Doing nothing at all. Suddenly the door bell rang and Priya, their six year old daughter rushed to open the door for her Papa Anish.  Just like everyday, Anish hugged her, kissed her  and pampered her. Priya simply loved to play with Anish. After the dinner it was the time for the dessert and that day Anish had brought Priya’s favourite candy for her! After having it Priya slept and Anu was finishing her household chores just when Anish called her, ” Are Anu, Sunno na, Come here – Muze kuch kehna hai and it’s really important.” If  it had been a laptop by his side Anu would not have taken this remark seriously, but that day Anish was serious and just wanted to talk. Anu went there and sat besides him folding the clothes and asking what he had to say. A storm was about to come in Anu’s life. Anish said, ” Sunno na, it has been fourteen years since we got married… We have a preety daughter too. But..I ….. I simply can’t pull it any longer now and all I want is a DIVORCE from you”

Anu could not believe what she heard just to reconfirm she asked it once again.. Without saying anything at all she just went to the bedroom and slept besides Priya.

The next morning at the coffee table the atmosphere was tense, Anu did’t utter a word and Anish was just staring at her looking for her to react. But Anu was busy getting Priya ready for the school. After Priya went to school Anish gave the divorce agreement to Anu to be signed by her. In it  he had mentioned that he would give away his house, car and 30% of his wealth to Anu for maintenance. Anu just read it and tears welled up her eyes. She tore it off!

” ye kya pagal pan hai? why did you tear it? ” , asked Anish. Anu just sobbed without anybody around to console her. For a day Anu did’t say anything. The next day when Anish was about to leave for the office she asked him ” Kya hum baat kar sakte hai? ABHI?” … Anish was already getting late but still to know what was going on in Anu’s mind he kept his bag aside and sat with her. Anu asked her what was the reason for the divorce and with a very awkwardness in his tone Anish said that he was having an affair with some other girl who used to work with him- Rajni!  ” Is she beautiful than me?” asked Anu, Anish was literally taken aback by this remark and feeling embrassed too! He thought better not to reply.

Anu said that she had some conditions for the divorce agreement to be signed. She demanded that for next 30 days they would behave normally in front of Priya as her exams were approaching and behave as if they had just married, expressing love for each other just the way they used to do earlier.. It was just a question of 30 days so Anish agreed. Exams of Priya were fast approaching and she didn’t want her to get disturbed so she kept this condition… A mother’s heart at last—— always caring for her family!

The next day both behaved normally with Anish asking Anu to tie the tie Knot and hugging her. Priya was watching all this and it was the time to leave for office. At evening when Anish came he had brought a  bookey of red roses for Anu and surprised her. Instead of getting busy with laptop, he tired to help her in household work and played with Priya. The next thing he did was simply unexpected one!

He carried Anu in his arms to the bedroom and Priya was dancing all around them clapping and singing ” papa ne mummy ko uttha liya” . For a moment both Anu and Anish felt nostalgic, felt the magic of love being revamped again and forgot that after 30 days they were going to get divorced.

The next day it was a weekend and Anish planned a day out with Anu and Priya. They went to a zoo and a water park near by. For all the time Anish was staying close to Anu and their daughter was simply loving to see both of them together. A day passed by and and after they returned home, Priya demanded ” Papa aap fir se mummy ko utthao na, muze nind aa rahi hai.. let’s go to bedroom” Lifiting her mumma to the bedroom had become a regular affair with Priya.

That night Anish could not sleep. He kept thinking about Anu.. How selfless her love was! Even though she knew that he was no longer in love with him she was doing all this just for  the sake of their family. He hugged Priya in the bed and just kept his hand on the forhead of Anu just thinking how difficult it was for her!

The next day went by and it was already a week since Ansih had formed a habit to carry Anu to the bedroom in his arms. For Priya, it had become an essential routine.  Some thing was hurting Anish deep within. He kept thinking about Anu and realised that over a period of time her hair had turned grey, she had got wrinkels on her face and had become slim. He was too occupied with Rajni  to take a note of this earlier.  He thought was he justified in giving her divorce? – Divorce to a lady who had given selfless love to him for last 14 years? He thought and thought about it but got no answers to it. He thought that he was going to fall in love with Anu all over again for the committment and selfless devotion she had towards the family.

But, Time Flies! Soon, it was the 29th day and Anish had something in his mind. Instead of going to office he straight way went to Rajni’s home. Rajni hugged and kissed him dancing with joy  and thinking that soon both of them would be together. But Anish could not love her back. He hold back his emotions and Rajni could sense it. She asked ” kya hua? why arent you loving me back, aren’t you excited?” Anish could not reply. He simply lit on his cigarette  sat on the bed and told her, ” I NO LONGER WANT DIVORCE AND I WON’T MARRY YOU” . Rajni thought he was kidding, but he wasn’t… He was serious. she tried to trance him up with her beauty wrapping her arms around him and sitting on his lap kissing him.. But Anish simply ignored her and got up to leave!

They say na, Beauty is not what you see.. it lies in actions, in the behaviour! Today Anish was in hurry to rush back home. He brought a greeting card and a bookey of red roses for Anu and rushed home. He knocked the door but Anu did  not open it. He called her but she did’t pick up the phone. He thought that may be she was disturbed. After trying for  one hour, he decided to break open the door. He was excited to tell her that he had decided that he won’t get divorced from her and would stay with her till END…

As he entered the house he found a pin drop silence. ” Are Anu kaha ho tum? , Dekho tumaha re liye surprise hai”   He kept searching for her. Finally he went to the bedroom and found her lying on the bed. Romantically, he just pounced on her only to find her body was chilling cold. Stiff like an ice and cold. He tried to rub her palms and wake her up, but she would’nt…..SHE HAD DIED! She was suffering from Cancer and had few days to go. The red roses which he had brought for her were now lying on her dead body! He could not stop his tears and realised how selfless her love was!

She just wanted that Priya should forever see them as a lovely couple who kept their marriage vows and who were always together till DEATH DID THEM APART!
