One Shots

Story one:Journey of Two Hearts

Hello people! So here I present you a one-shot that will tug at your heartstrings!

Dusk had fallen when Kavita walked out of the exit gate of the busy Mumbai airport. A chilly winter welcomed her for the very first time to the City Of Dreams. The temperature must have been very close to 8 degrees. Adding to the winter chill was the cold breeze which was blowing that evening, compelling everyone to pull out their jackets. Enjoying the initial few moments, Kavita let her body feel and embrace the cold surrounding her, but she could not bear it for long. Soon she pulled out her jacket and zipped it up to her neck. The foggy breath that she exhaled was visible. It was that cold.

"Kidhar jaana hai madamji?" a taxi driver halted from the back.

"Annata Humanversity, Gulmnohar road le challenge bhaiya?" Kavita spoke.

"Haan madamji", the taxi driver said while keeping her bags in the taxi.

After the taxi reached her destination, Kavita paid the driver and got of the taxi. She looked at the big cream-colored building before getting in. she walked towards the reception and exchanged a smile with the receptionist.

"Good evening madam! How can I help you?" asked the receptionist with a sweet smile.

"I want to meet DR. Sanjay Verma," said Kavita politely.

"Do you have any appointment fixed with him?" asked the receptionist.

"I am Kavita Roy from Grant Medical college," said Kavita.

"I am extremely sorry madam. I could not recognize you. come with me, I will show you DR. Sqanjay's cabin," the receptionist spoke apologetically.

"Ma'am here's the cabin", said the receptionist before leaving.

"May I come in sir?" Kavita knocked on the door, asking for permission.

"Oh yes, Kavita please come in. I was waiting for you only," said Dr. Sanjay Verma.

"Sir, are you sure that I can handle him?" Spoke Kavita nervously.

"Addiction is a stage when people do not have control over what they are doing, taking, or using. Their addiction may reach a point at which it is harmful and it requires immediate attention from drug addiction treatment. Moreover, he was not a drug addict from the beginning. That incident made him alcoholic," Dr. Sanjay spoke in a sigh.

"Sir, can I see him?"Kavita asked.

"Ya, sure. Come this way," Dr. Sanjay said showing her the way.

Somewhere in the silence of a barely visible foggy evening, he was sitting on the staircase in front of the room. There was a row of rooms and in front of those rooms is a huge lawn. He was wearing a heavy blanket to text protect himself from cold. He had long hair and a beard which he hasn't shaved for months. It appeared he was not doing well. He was sitting still and his gaze was on something which he was holding in his hands. There was no one around him. A dead silence persists and the only audible sound is the sound of the night. He then walked to his room and slept covering his head. He slipped into his blanket squeezing his hands in between his legs and sleep.

Kavita and Dr. Sanjay walk back to the cabin.

"Sir, to be his counselor, I must know everything about his past," Kavita said.

"His past is very painful," Dr. Sanjay said looking at the ceiling.

"Si,r if you don't want to say then it's okay", Kavita said.

"No, you must know about him. But don't blame me if your trust in love disappears after listening to this," Dr. Sanjay spoke harshly.

Kavita just nodded and sat on the chair.

Flashback

Three years ago

Sanskar was sitting at his office desk when his eyes caught someone's back. She was the girl who entered the manager's cabin. Sanskar was recited by her white shirt under a black overcoat and blue denim, those earphones wires which ran across her united hair that danced in sync with her shaving head and her tapping legs. He could see only her back and he felt a sudden rage to look at her face.
