Reema was serious today. She even broke some of her stuff and then she cried for hours. It became her daily routine- she got some letters, broke the staff and then crying for hours. She didn't know how to overcome this, but she was left with no other option. She was feeling cheated- by life, by God, by incidents, by her surroundings, by everyone.


Sometimes, she even tries to end her life as she felt she didn't deserve that miserable life. God was punishing her unnecessarily. But, every time she tried to suicide, God gave her another punishment by failing her every trial. She was living that life not less than a punishment.


 That day also, the same thing happened. She woke up and prayed to God to give her at least one peaceful day. But, it was like God had denied her wish. Around 11:00 a.m., the doorbell rang. She was alone at her home. She got scared a bit, but she knew who it could be. She opened the door.


 It was a letter. A letter that she was getting continuously from 2 months. She was fed up with it. When she read it, she got furious. After her aggression was handled by the furniture, she cried inconsolably. Even she got dark circles near her eyes. Anyone could easily tell that she had cried for hours. She immediately tore that piece of paper, which had snatched her happiness.


 It all started 2 years ago when Reema met with an accident and she lost her eyesight. She got blinded for the whole of her life. She got the biggest curse ever from God. Her world turned upside down. It was a huge setback to all of them. She was in a state of shock for so many days. Even she needed some counsellings to overcome it. Her family got even a financial crisis, all because of her accident. She blamed herself for everything that happened to her, to her family. At that time, her family supported her. They didn't let her know how much difficulty they were facing.


Soon she got admission to a special school for blinds. Firstly, it was difficult for her to learn Braille. But, she learned it at a very fast rate. After she learned Braille, she continued her studies in that school only.


 There, she met Tushar. He was her classmate. He was also blind. He was the topper of the class. At first, Tushar strongly felt a tinge of jealousy. But slowly slowly, when he came to know her, his jealousy went somewhere else. He started liking her. He had tried to befriend her, but she denied it. It was the time when the teacher made them sit together during exams. Slowly slowly, Tushar got successful in making a place of himself in Reema's heart. Tushar knew it but he decided to remain silent. He didn't open his heart in front of Reema. They both had planned a surprise for each other. Reema decided to propose him after exams. Tushar had the same plan. In a month their exams got over. The very next day, it was their party. Reema decides to propose him that time only. But to her disbelieve, Tushar was not there. Reema was broken. She didn't know what to do? Since that day, she didn't open her heart to him. Today also, she knew that she loves him but she didn't tell him. She went to school just in search of him, but he never appeared.


Then she came to knew that he had undergone an eye transplant surgery. He got somebody's eyes and he was no blinder. This broke Reema.

She left and bounded herself only to her home. She didn't meet with her friends, teachers, relatives or anyone else.


Soon, she got a letter. It was from him. It was written in Braille. He told her that he was not known about his surgery and that all took place so sudden that he could not tell her about it. When he came back, he came to knew that she had left school. He took her address from her friends and he was sending this letter.


Reema felt happy that at least he was fine. She didn't reply to that letter. Then on a daily basis, she got a letter. One day, he purposed her. But, she didn't reply. 


She always felt that being blind was the only thing they had in common and now, they were left with nothing common in between them. Moreover, she didn't want to be a burden on him.


Tushar never missed writing a letter. Soon, Reema started getting frustrated by this. Even Tushar gave her a warning of suicide that if she didn't marry him, he will commit suicide. This was the first time Reema broke her silence and started thumping the furniture and cried.  


Soon, her family members got to know about this. They even told her to say yes but she didn't. Even, Tushar offered her that he will also consider the doctor for her surgery. So that she could also see and she might not feel like a burden on him. She took it the wrong way and felt as if he was doing some favor on her. She completely denied it.


Then one day, Tushar directly came to her home. Nobody was at home. Reema couldn't sense it could be Tushar. When Tushar hold her hand, she came to know then. She was getting angry with him that why he came there?


Tushar replied," I m sending you letter continuously from two and a half months, can't you just reply to once?"


" I didn't ask you to send me letters."


" But why you didn't reply.?"


" Because I didn't feel to."


"Oh really. So tell me na that you don't love me. Tell me you didn't wait for me."


"Hmmm."


"You know what, you can't lie. Yr, what's the problem?? I said I love you. I wanted to marry you, then why are you denying?"


"Already told you many times. I didn't want to be a burden on you. That accident had snatched my everything. Only if that accident hadn't taken place, I was surely going to be happy." 


"But, if that accident hadn't taken place, then how we would meet?

 Now tell me, do you love me? I know the answer but I still wanted to know from you."


Before Reema could reply, he held her tight and touches her hands on his cheeks.


Reema also broke into tears after feeling his cheeks wet with tears, "Yes! I do. But I don't want myself to feel burdened or inferior to you." 


"Why are you even thinking about it?"


"But ..."


"But what.......".

He leans towards her and hugged her tight. 


"Nothing."

She said yes to marry him.
