HOPE! - THE ULTIMATE SILVER LINING - a microtale
Her face went slack with shock, her hands trembled, all the air rushed out of her weak lungs as she whispered, barely audible, "W-what?"
'You have been tested positive for Covid19. You'll be put in ICU as your condition is critical.' the nurse echoed.
Present-timing...
Trishala awoke with a start, gasping for air. She gradually calmed down and glanced around. It had been days since she was diagnosed with the virus, but her condition seemed to only worsen.
Her eyes flitted over to a young girl of about 7 in her neighbouring bed with a cool expression. Trishala wondered about her composed demeanor, unaffected by her situation. She read her name-tag, "Hello... Samantha. I'm Trishala, and I'm 23. Aren't you afraid of what'll happen to you?"
"No," she simply replied. "I have faith that God will save me. My teacher says, Every dark cloud has a silver lining. My silver lining is my family. What's yours?"
Trishala was taken aback by her reply. "Well... I don't know. I grew up in an orphanage, so there's not much."
Over the days the two bonded more and became inseparable. Trishala found her silver lining to be her tiny friend as they both battled the fatal virus together. Soon they emerged healthy and victorious along with many others whom they had inspired. Obstacles however big, can be overcome with hope and optimism.
