Journey of Love, Destination of Life

Journey of Love, Destination of Life(Komilannaath) Now days, we can see many true and fake loves. Before I start my story I would like to share what I mean by fake loves. Actually the love becomes fake when the couples love each other without thinking about their future. That’s why certain couples break up without reason, and then both criticize love and each other. Very rare people realize that the problems are within them. This story is about a true love. ‘Journey of Love, Destination of Life.’

In Malaysia, there is a famous restaurant called Nasi Kandar Pelita. Many customers will have their lunch and dinner there. Mr. Rahman, 48, an owner of that restaurant, is known as a very friendly person. Many customers like him very much. Most of his customers are becoming his close friends. One of his customers is Lee, 29, a software engineer. He has a girlfriend, Aileen, 28, a teacher of secondary school. Lee and Aileen are going to marry very soon.

One rainy day, Mr. Rahman saw Aileen waiting for Lee approximately 1 hour. He is watching Aileen from far. After so long, Lee reached her. Once Aileen saw Lee, she starts to argue with him because she is waiting for him very long. Lee is trying to calm her down. But fails. She is making him pissed. And he slaps her in front of the crowd. Mr. Rahman is shocked and went nearer to stop the argument. He asks both of them to come to his office room. He orders two hot Nescafe for them and invites them to his room. Mr. Rahman asks what is the problem between both of them. It seems, there has been an argument going on between them for 1 week. Even they decided to break up. Mr. Rahman smiles and says “Love is beautiful when there is argument between couples. At the same time couples should give and take. If break up is the solution to end the arguments, we should break up with our parents, siblings and even ourselves. But we don’t because they are very important for us. If you both don’t mind can I tell you a story of a couple who have gone through love, marriage, and being very happy now.”

Story starts…….

(Life of Raj)
Raj, 21, is a boy who is looking for a job. He is an orphan. He is being independent since he is 15. He cannot stay with one job for long period because of his outlook. He is a poor boy with hunchback. Many people look down upon him. Some of them will tease him. After a certain point he will cry in crowd due to many insults. He begs to his senior workers to teach him to do work. But no one appreciates his commitments.

(Life of Priya)
Priya, 20, is a pretty but blind girl. She is also an orphan. After her parents passed away in an accident, her grandmother sends her to the orphanage. She begs her grandmother not to send her to the orphanage. She is worried to face new people since she cannot see anyone there. But her grandmother is more concerned about her granddaughters life after she passes away. After 20 days, her grandmother passed away.

One day, a couple with no children for 13 years came to the orphanage to adopt a child. The couple decides to adopt Priya because she is blind. The manager of the orphanage, Mrs. Laila, feels very happy to see the couple. She appreciates the couple. But Priya worries again. The couples says Priya looks very beautiful. They like her very much. They brought her to their house. Once she enters the house she can sense that there are many people in that house. She starts to worry more how to get to know everyone there. The couple calls a girl, Sarah, 32, a house maid, to make Priya feel comfortable. Sarah brings Priya to her room.

While bringing her, Sarah’s eye drop falls on Priya’s hand. Priya is shocked and asks “Sarah, are you crying?” Sarah says nothing and brings her to her room. Once reached Sarah quickly let Priya sit on her bed and locked the room. Sarah says “Priya, don’t worry. After listening to what I say to you please be calm. Priya, now you're at a wrong place. The couple who adopted you are not looking for a child. They are running prostitution in this home. I am one of the prostitutes. I worked here because I have no other jobs to take care of my mother who is not feeling well. But I cannot take it when to see you in this situation. Even though you are blind they still like you because you are beautiful. They can earn more from you. So, Priya don’t worry I will help you to escape from this house. I’m here for you, Priya.”

After listening, Priya starts to cry and thanks Sarah for her kindness. The next morning, without anyone knowing, Priya successfully escaped with the help of Sarah. Next, where she is going to go? What she is going to do? Who she is going to meet?

She slept at roadside. Suddenly it is raining, she get wets. And now she has to find another place to shield herself. She doesn’t have confidence to walk because she's scared she will fall anywhere. So she decided to crawl on the road. After certain moments, she gives up crawling to find a place for her because both her knees get injured and bleeding. She is crying in pain. At that moment she felt so depressed until she has no interest in living anymore.

Suddenly she fainted…

After a few hours, she wakes up. She feels very abnormal with her current costume. She's very sure she is no more on the road. She can feel that she is lying on the bed. She gets more nervous and starts to wonder where she is now. Then she feels someone is standing beside her. She starts to worry because she thinks that the couple who adopted her came back. She starts to cry because she knows that she cannot escape this time from them. She cries and begs “please don’t ruin my life, just kill me”.

Then the person beside her said “please don’t cry. I am not going to hurt you or put you in trouble. Actually I saw you fainted on the road just now. So I brought you to hospital. Now you are in hospital. Doctor said you are out of danger and nothing to worry. And he says you are blind. I feel so sorry for you. By the way I am Arun. May I know your name?” She replies “I am Priya. Thank you so much Mr. Arun.”

Arun says “no problem Priya. Doctor says you can be discharged today. So tell me where I can send you back home or who you want me to call of your family members to fetch you.” Priya cries again. Then she decided to share her life story to him.

After he listens to her story he feels so sad and decides to help her. Then he suggests her to stay with Nanthini, Arun’s friend. Priya agrees with his suggestion.

Day by day Priya started to adapt to her new life with them. She feels everything is new for her. Priya doesn’t feel that she is blind anymore because she is surrounded by happiness. One day Arun decided to talk personally to Nanthini at kitchen. Arun says to Nanthini that he has fallen in love. Nanthini is shocked and guessed “are you in love with Priya?” Arun is shocked and wonders how she knows. Nanthini says she is observing him since long time ago. He smiles.

The next day, Arun brings Priya to hospital for eye check-up. He decided to donate eyes for her. But Priya doesn’t know his plan. She just follows him. Even Nanthini doesn’t know this. After a few hours, Arun called Nanthini and said everything to her. Nanthini is shocked and rushes to hospital. But Arun wasn’t there. Nanthini saw Priya is in a ward. Nanthini searched for Arun.

Arun is standing near a window and looking outside. Nanthini goes near and turns him. She is shocked. They are talking almost half an hour. Then Nanthini entered the ward to visit Priya. After a few minutes Priya is conscious. Nanthini told Priya that she had undergone an eye transplant operation. Priya is shocked and wonders who donated eyes for her. In 10 minutes time the doctor is going to remove the cloth fold surrounding Priya’s eyes, she becomes very nervous to open her eyes and see this world. Suddenly Arun entered the ward and says…

Arun: Priya, welcome to this world. You are going to see this world. May god bless you Priya. Priya, in another 10 minutes time you are going to see this world. So I want to use this time to share something with you. First of all I want to say that I love you, Priya. Day by day I feel a big responsibility to take care of you in my life. I feel you were born for me. The destiny planned something for us, Priya. Even nowadays I feel like I always want to be with you. You know what, I also started to observe your cuteness daily. You look like a baby when you laugh. I realize that whether I am going to live or die everything in your hands, Priya. That is why I decided to donate my eyes for you. But, I just donated one of my eyes, Priya. Actually I don’t dare to give both my eyes to you because I cannot be alive without seeing you Priya. I want to take care of you in my life, so I decided we can survive with one eye. Don’t worry Priya, I will take care of you very well. Trust me Priya. Tell me your decision after the doctor removes the cloth surrounding your eyes Priya.

Priya smiles…
Doctor is removing the cloth. Priya is becoming more nervous to open her eyes. Priya opens her eyes. She saw a man standing full of tears just in front of her. Priya is shocked after seeing him. Arun says “Priya, I am extremely sorry. My name is actually Raj, I am a hunchback man. I have no intention to cheat you, Priya. I created a new identity because I worried that if in the future, when you get to know I am the one who admitted you in the hospital that day when you fainted on the road side, you will look down upon me. Many people outside this ward are looking down upon me. I am demotivated every day. I didn’t want you to know the truth of me but destiny had a different plan for me. I fell for you. So I decided to be true for you Priya. Extremely sorry Priya. I know you are in shocked now. And I also know that I never hid your expectation on me. But my love is still true Priya. Even I know your decision by looking at your eyes Priya. Take care Priya. Sorry to get into your life without your realization.” He started leaving the ward.

Priya ran and hugged him from the back. She said...

Priya: Raj, I also love you. How can you leave me alone in this world? I need you in my life. I do not love you because you donated your eye for me. I also fell for you because you took care of me very well when I was blind. Even when I fainted on the road side, there are many people just looking at me but only you brought me to hospital. Day by day I also realized your love towards me. Actually I am more gifted than you because I got Raj in my life. Appearances are nothing when comparing to love, Raj. People who looked down upon you are just looking at your appearances but I am looking beyond that Raj. Trust me. We are going to live together in this world.”

Raj feels very happy and hugs her. Nanthini is happy for both of them.


Mr. Rahman: that’s the ending of the story. It’s a real story that happened a few months ago. If they can be very happy living together in this world, why not both of you?

Lee and Aileen realize the deepness of love between Raj and Priya. Lee asks...

Lee: Mr. Rahman, since you say this is the real story, can we meet Raj and Priya? Where are they now?

Mr. Rahman: They are not very far from you both. The man that serves you 2 cups of Nescafe is Raj. And Priya is the one who is sitting at the payment counter there. Raj meets me and shares his life story to me. He wants to work and become somebody in his life. His main aim is to take care of Priya very well. They already married but still have no babies because they don’t want any other commitments for time being. They want to have a new own house to live in. They are working together for their future happiness. Sometimes, I feel pity on them. Even sometimes I feel envy on them, although they have physical disabilities, they can still laugh and be happy in this world. I am respecting them. May god always bless them.”

Lee and Aileen were shocked and started to feel inspired by Raj and Priya in their life.
