Small Story 620.
Facing the Consequences is an Art.
Hearing the news, Keshav rushed to Kollegal immediately. Seeing Kalpana in pain broke his heart. The doctor informed him that her recovery would take at least three months and advised shifting her to a hospital in Mysore for better treatment.
The next day, while traveling to Mysore by car, another vehicle crashed into them, causing heavy damage to the car. Fortunately, both of them escaped safely.
For the next three months, Keshav stayed beside Kalpana, taking leave from duty without pay. He cared for her patiently until she slowly recovered and returned to normal life.
One evening, Kalpana looked at him emotionally and said, “Thank you for your patience and for taking such good care of me.”
Keshav smiled gently and whispered, “In life, one should learn to face difficult situations. Instead of spending our honeymoon at a beautiful place, I spent those days with you in the hospital — and still, I was happy because I was with you.”
Tears of gratitude filled Kalpana’s eyes.
“I am very lucky to have you,” she said softly. “I pray that even in my next birth, you will come back as my husband.”
Keshav happily hugged her, and both realized that true love is not only about sharing joyful moments, but also about standing together during life’s hardest times.
