He was working for an IT company. Everyday was going good with his pals, his family.
Being an elder of his family, he was enjoying his responsibilities of every day.
Every morning, he took his lunch box from his mother and rush to office.
And every evening, coming back from office, bring hot samosa for enjoying evening tea with his mother and younger brother.
Everyday was going well. And one shinning day, his manager told him that he is selected from one of their Italian client, so he has to visit Italy soon and for that first thing he has to do, is to go for a body checkup.
He was thanking God and his parents for their blessings.
and next day, he went to hospital, where he underwent through all his checkups and came back to home with dreams of visiting Italy, his first visit out of his town, buying so many gifts for his parents.
He was busy packing his bags, sleeping every night in his beautiful dream.
After few days, he got a call from hospital for collecting his medical reports. And next day, he went to the hospital to collect where doctor told him that they found a one small tumor in his chest and which is not at all point of worry. He just needs a small operation and he will be all right soon.
He was in his tears because he never had any problem with his health, not even cold.
And he went back to his home where he told about this to his parents.
Next day, he went to hospital with his dad to meet their family doctor to show him his X-Ray.Dcotor told him that there is no point of worry; they get it removed by doing a very small operation. And once operation is done, he will be able to rejoin his office after ten days rest.
And after hearing to doctor, his parents decided to go for his operation and got him admitted to the hospital.
He had been taken to the operation theater and soon, he went to a deep sleep with thought of joining his office soon to meet.
But innocent fellow was not aware of, what destiny or Doctors had decided for him?
Doctors started their work and during the procedure, found a small portion of the tumor had entered his spinal canal, and they could not turn back now because they had not accounted for it and they did a mistake by approaching it from the wrong surgical corridor.
Doctor tried to pull that portion and in a split of second, his blood supply to cord cut off and he turned paralyzed on the table itself.
He was brought out of the Operation Theater, paralyzed.
Outside his family was waiting to see their son, nobody even dreamt that his son was operated on the spinal cord. They were in a belief that their son went through a simple chest operation.
The boy did not know that he is disabled now, he can not go out with his friends for party, he can not go to his office, he can not enjoy his parents responsibilities on him.
But his family got to know that their son is paralyzed. They felt themselves disabled about how would they tell his son that he cannot play now, he cannot go to office now.
Next morning, he wake up and found himself unable to do anything, But his mother told him that this is because of his medicines, next month he will be okay.
And every other month, he listened to the same story.
And 6 months passed, when finally he got to know that He is a disable now.
And he broke down, He started contacting doctors, using forums on internet to find a cure for his problem. But nothing came out helpful for him and one of the neurosurgeon from USA told him that there is no cure for spinal code injury and he would have to be on wheelchair for his entire life.
And he and his family were in tears. But this guy was not ready to accept it and he decides to sue the doctors and his family supported him.
He sued the doctor thinking of using it for his cure.
And case started, and soon he got to know that his lawyer was bought by the doctors.
His world was broken and he went into deep depression. He started hiding the sleeping tablets from his family. He surrounded himself with depression and thought of ending his life on his birth date.
This time Destiny, decided something more painful for him:
He got to know that his mother got diagnosed with cancer one month before.
His life was blank, empty with tears in his eyes all the time but no way to go, no option to think of.
He was forced to settle down the case for paltry sum that’d have been his just 3 years salary.
He accepted the offer for his mother, for his retired father, for his younger brother.
He decided to live for his parents with a rainbow in his heart and smile on his lips.
Today, he wake up at scheduled time, eat his breakfast at scheduled time, lunch at schedule time, naps at scheduled time, end his day at scheduled time. Internet is his only friend.
Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things in life.
