❤Good Bye Dreams❤

“So this is how heart works. ” Professor finished his lecture and dropped the chalk on the table.

Sanyukta looked at the green board and then at her notebook and smiled sadly. How easily he said this is how heart works when in actual no one knows how it works. Science says that heart works mechanically and with proper system but her experience said  that heart never works with logic or proper system. It works as it wants to. No logic, no reason behind it.

“So I want you all to complete your assignments till tomorrow. I know the work load is eating you people but we really can’t help it. Medical line is not easy you see.”Professor uttered his final words and left the class.

Sanyukta was looking nowhere. She didn’t listen what her professor said because she was busy in solving her query in her mind or HEART.

Sanyukta Agarwal was fourth year MBBS student. She looked at her mates who were working on their assignments. She picked up her bag and stepped out of the classroom. She needed some books for her assignment. She entered into the library and started searching for appropriate books for the matter.

She was searching for books in the medical section when she saw a girl with very short height standing two shelves away from hers. She was  trying to fetch a book from the shelf but because of her height, she was not able to pull out book from the upper shelf. She stepped towards her and pulled out book and gave it to her.

“Thank you so much”The girl smiled at her and Sanyukta smiled back at her.

Girl left the place and Sanyukta turned around to go to medical section again when something stopped her. She looked at the board which said “English Literature”. She couldn’t stop herself and pulled out a book from the shelf and caressed it.

She placed that book again and pulled out another book and read some lines from it but then closed it quickly and left the section in hurry.

She collected books from the medical section and issue them from the library and then stepped towards the garden. The only place where she find solace.

When  she finally settled in the garden at her usual place which was at the corner of the garden, away from people’s sight. She opened her medical books but her heart was wandering  somewhere else. Her memories pulled her back to the day when it all started.

**Flash Back**

“Papa. I came first again”Sanyukta came and hugged her father tight. Her 10th class result was announced today.

“Mera sher beta”Her father hugged her back and kissed her forhead.

Sanyukta smiled in his embrace and pulled her head out to say something when he father again said , “Ab time agya hai sapno ki taraf pehla step lene ka. Ab 11th mein medical and phir 2 saal baad MBBS. Finally. Mera sher beta mera naam roshan karega mera. I always wanted to do something for the society and the poor and what could be more good way then being a doctor and serving them. Tu doctor bn jaayege to ek hospital kholenge aise logo ke liye jo afford ni kar skte mehnga ilaaz. ”

Sanyukta gulped down her words which were about to come out of her lips. She looked at her father.

“Agar MBBS 3rd year mein accident mein meri eye sight na gayi hoti toh ye sapna main pehle hi pura kar leta. Teri maa pta nahin kaise reh gayi is andhe ke saath”He said and chuckled sadly.

A drop rolled down her left eye and she hugged her father tight and said , “Apka bcha hai na Papa. Aapke saare sapne pure karega”

Her father smiled and caressed her hair.

“Shoooooooooooooo..nnnnnnn”Aeroplane’s voice pulled out her from the moment which changed her life.

That day she wanted to tell her father that she wanted to pursue humanities. She wanted to study literature but after listening to her father’s words she couldn’t tell this to him that day. Her father’s lightless yet twinkling eyes made her change her mind.

The dream which she was caressed in her heart for years left its existence in a moment. At the moment she decided she will fulfill her father’s dreams and hence left her own dreams. She worked hard and got into best medical instituition of the country.

People say that you should follow your dreams. You shouldn’t leave them for anyone. No one is worth it. But she felt this saying lack somewhere. Someone people worth it. Like her father.

When professor was teaching about heart in the class, that was the reason she was smiling sadly. Heart doesn’t word logically. If it would have then she would have chose her dreams over her father’s. But her heart acted the way it wanted to.

“Sapne apno se bade nahin hote”She heard this line somewhere. But in her case she didn’t know what to say. This statement was confusing in her case. From one point of view, she was leaving her dreams for her father and from another point of view she was leaving herself in fulfilling her father’s dreams. She didn’t if this statement was even valid for her.

Today when she looked at literature books in the library , she couldn’t help and caress its pages to live her dream. What if even for a moment? But then when she felt she was turning weak, she ran out of the library and came here. In her territory of solace.

Finally she was going to be a doctor in a year and will make her father proud. This thought filled her with happiness. She could clearly imagine her father’s smiling face and teary eyes.

She decided that she will not let herself turn weak now. Never ever. So to give a last tribute to her own dreams, she opened her notebook’s last page and scribbled, “GOOD BYE DREAMS”.

The End ❤
