One Month Later
Location: Toronto, Canada. (NatGeo Awards Ceremony)
Time: 6:00 PM.
Top five nominations were being announced. Soon, they announced the second-runner up. It was some other entry. The documentary was played and it was good. Then, first runner-up was announced. It was again not my entry. The documentary was played. It was too good, even better than mine. I realized that now I could not be the winner and got completely disheartened.
Now came the time to announce the winner. But, instead of announcing the winner, they played my documentary film, which ran for about 30 minutes and when it ended, the whole auditorium was clapping. I could not understand what was happening. Then they announced that the documentary just played, was the winner giving the reason that the person who filmed this documentary did not even bother for his life as was seen in its last scene where he was crossing a torn out wooden bridge and fell down into the river, but still recorded the entire action till he completely fell down, and such a daring person deserved this award. They announced my name. I went to the stage and collected my award and my cash prize.
But, I was not that happy as I should have been, because I had betrayed the person due to whom I was still alive and receiving the award. I started feeling guilty.
3 Days Later
I came back to India and went straight to that village. I saw Ramesh sitting there outside his hut. I went near him and greeted him. I felt tears in his eyes.
I said, “Sorry for the delay but now I am here to marry Poorvi”
Ramesh looked sadly towards the sky and said, “Poorvi waited for you for three months. She used to sit outside the hut, even in heavy snowfall looking towards road, waiting for you. But you didn’t come .She got pneumonia due to this and finally, she died two days back “and started weeping.
I was completely shattered. The reason, I had come back to the village was to reduce my guilt, but that guilt increased even further. Maybe Poorvi had seriously taken me as her husband, while I always took it as a compromise to save myself. I could not understand her love at that time, but now when I realized about it, it was already too late. I also looked towards the sky and my tears fell down.
I decided to settle down in that village forever to cherish the sweet memories of my beloved Poorvi always. So, I went back to my home, sold all my assets, transferred all the money to my account, including the prize money I received, and went back to the village and built a charitable hospital there with that money. I named it “Poorvi Charitable Hospital”.
I did all this, trying to get rid of my Guilt. But, now it was so big that it will remain with me till the day I close my eyes……forever.
