Title: Losing Myself to Save My Father

Kavi had just turned 20, a fresh graduate full of dreams, navigating life's promising uncertainties in the heart of Prayagraj alongside his loving parents, Bhim and Kavita. Their mornings often began at the sacred sangam, where the Ganges, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers converged, offering a serene start to the day with a holy dip.

On this fateful morning, Kavi and his friends immersed themselves in the ritualistic cleansing of sangam's waters, while Bhim and Kavita decided to head back home. The tranquility of the morning was shattered by screeching tires and shattering glass as tragedy struck on the road back.

A bus careened out of control, colliding with Bhim and Kavita's car in a devastating crash. The impact was brutal, leaving chaos and devastation in its wake. Kavi's heart sank as he received the frantic call, racing towards the scene where their lives had been irreversibly altered.

Amidst the wreckage, Kavita lay motionless, her life tragically cut short in the blink of an eye. Bhim, miraculously alive but critically injured, was trapped in the wreckage, his life hanging by a thread. As sirens wailed in the distance, Kavi stood frozen in shock, the weight of the world crashing down on his young shoulders.

In that moment of profound loss and chaos, Kavi made a silent vow: to navigate the dark labyrinth of grief and uncertainty, to fight for his father's life with every fiber of his being, and perhaps, in doing so, to find a way to save himself from being consumed by sorrow.

At the hospital, the grim reality descended like a heavy shroud over Kavi and his father Bhim. The doctors, with somber expressions, delivered the devastating news: Kavita had succumbed to her injuries, leaving behind a void that seemed insurmountable. Bhim, in a coma induced by the severity of his injuries, murmured Kavita's name in his unconscious state, a heartbreaking testament to their deep bond.

The doctor's prognosis was equally bleak yet laced with a glimmer of hope—Bhim had sustained a critical injury, a hole in his heart that required meticulous care and a significant recovery period before any operation could be considered. The doctor emphasized the necessity for Bhim to gather strength, physically and emotionally, for the challenging road ahead.

Kavi, grappling with the sudden loss of his mother and the uncertain fate of his father, felt the weight of responsibility settle heavily upon him. He stood by Bhim's bedside, holding his father's hand, willing him to find the strength to fight through the darkness of coma towards the light of recovery.

As the hospital corridors echoed with the hushed tones of medical staff and the beeping of monitors, Kavi vowed silently to honor his mother's memory by standing strong for his father. The possibility of losing Bhim too loomed large, but Kavi clung to the hope that with time, patience, and unwavering determination, he could guide his father back from the precipice of loss and reunite their shattered family once more.
