The Choice

A student of Delhi Technical University was a granary of knowledge. Full of enthusiasm and ambition. But his love for acting was so tremendous that he was confused to choose what to do next.

Sushant Singh Rajput decided to continue his passion, his career in Engineering. Sushant was bit upset regarding this situation. Varun patted his back and said

"Hey Sush, why are you upset? "

"Nothing, Varun. I am just thinking on my decision about my career. Was right in choosing the Engineering career.? "

"Dude listen, Decision is yours. I don't have the right to comment on it."

"Varun, please give me your opinion, don't worry I won't mind"

"Frankly speaking, I am confused too. But I am happy in your decision. Whatever happens is for good"

Sushant nodded and went to his room. He still was thinking about his choice. 

Years passed. Sushant cleared the National Olympiad of Physics and went on to bag the second position in International Physics Olympiad representing India. He was offered a seat in prestigious Stanford University for further studies. 

Sushant was as usual busy gazing at sky capturing the lovely views of the universe with his telescope. He was admiring the lovely rings of Saturn, when suddenly his father entered the room. 

"Sushant, I know you also wished to pursue acting as your profession. But you have choosen engineering as your career. Son, I know you love acting, but you chose engineering over acting, I am proud of you. Whatever you would have chose we would have supported you."

" Thank you Papa, I am very happy. Papa, actually I am going to US tomorrow. I need your permission." 

"Of course, you have"

Sushant touched his father's feet. He blessed him and went out of his room with tears of joy in his eyes. Sushant opened his cupboard and took out an old jewelry box. It was not just a jewelry box for him. It was 'Aakhri Nishaani' of his mother. He opened the box and there was a very old photograph of his mother. He hugged it and tears rolled down his cheek. 

"Maa, I have made you proud, where ever you are, shower your blessings on me."

Next day Sushant, headed to the Airport. He bade a goodbye to his father. Soon he landed at San Francisco. He was overwhelmed. Soon he reached Stanford University and began his studies. 

He went on to study Astrophysics and did his Ph. D as well as D. Lit. Then he was transferred to NASA where he did a lot of research and also became a part of NASA's new Moon Mission Team where he would lead the team on a voyage to the moon's surface

Sushant was extremely excited. His Friend Shane with a smile asked, "How do you feel Captain? "

"I feel like I am in the seventh heaven. I am finally fulfilling my dream."

Sushant called his father gave him this good news. 

"Sushant, today I am so proud that I can't even belive this is happening. Finally you are fulfilling your dreams. God bless you my son, God bless you." 

Tears of happiness rolled down his cheeks. 

After a few days Sushant was ready for the mission. Soon his space shuttle took off. The while world was delighted, the launch was successful, everyone greeted each other. 

Kaboom!!! Suddenly, the space shuttle exploded into pieces. Flames filled the sky. The burning debris started to fall like meteorites and shattered the ground just like the happiness of K. K. Singh, Sushant's father. Sushant was dead!!!!
