He had no one except his father,who had lived his whole life alone for the sake of giving his son the purest love. Even when forced by the relatives,his father didn't marry a second woman after his mother,who died the second day of giving birth to Apurv.

And Apurv also loved his father like none of his Collegemates did respectively. He cared him of his health and even about all the minute needs,he thought of before himself.

Amit replied to tranquilize Apurv, "the one with whose will you are here, the one whom you trusted as you trusted on your father, the omnipotent God."

"How can I have any more faith in God when he has taken my father away."

"You believe that he has taken your father, but you are not thinking that he has descried his presence by this. The owner always has the right to grab his things anytime from the lender, still see his Kindness he gave you such a father whose memories are enough to make you smile."

The words were consoling , Apurv thought himself, "how had I shaken my faith when I knew that you are constantly watching me from beyond the skies."
