A short story yet another story in many other stories. 

Story of a girl who was a single child of their parents, raised by them with many dreams in their head. 

In this Blog, I will explain one but yet the worst scene in life of her parents. 

Yes, yes, she has a good male friend who likes and loves her so much. 

And the entire scene was explained by the man who loved;

Scene >>>

It’s been over 3 months, but till date… the boy haunted by the sight of the night…Vandana the lead of the scene, She was junior in medical college with boy who is senior to her. But it wasn’t until their internship that they spoke. Vandana was the kindest soul. 

She’d leave her food to look after patient & would always check-up on her parents who lived in a different town. She was an only child. That’s why, not even in their wildest dream did they expect someone to do something bad to her. 

It happened on 06th June, around 1:30 AM. They both were on night shift(duty) at the hospital. She kept telling the boy to leave as “You go rest—I’m here” But he didn’t listen.

 Then a drunk man came in with a few cops and an acquaintance. He was a local teacher who was caught jumping off a wall. They gave him the first aid & left. They didn't think much about him until they heard screams from the room. They rushed in to see him holding a pair of scissors & screaming. 

Vandana & the boy panicked. The next few minutes were a blur. People were running & screaming- The boy lost Vandana in the middle of the chaos. Then boy heard her scream-she was in the other room, lying with her head bleeding. The man was standing next to her with a scissor. He had stabbed her multiple times.

She kept screaming but the man tried to pick her up. Scared, the boy pulled Vandana by her legs just to separate them. They pushed him & ran out of the hospital. A police jeep took them to another hospital; They knew that they weren't safe in their own ward.

Vandana was put on a ventilator. She kept saying, 'I can't breathe!' Every emotion of anger, sadness, & nervousness had engulfed out from the boy in that moment.

A few hours later, the doctors told the boy, 'We're sorry for your loss.!' He cried bitterly. But more than how he felt, he was worried for her parents. Their entire world had spiraled. It's been 3 months since that day, he still meet them; they ( Vandana’s parents) hardly eat or sleep. 

They keep asking him about that night. Not about the accident, but hours before it when Vandana was on night duty, working selflessly. That's how they want to remember her. That's how we all want to remember her. What happened was terrible.

 It makes them question, 'How do they save lives when owns is in danger?' But the real question is, 

'Will things change?'

 'How long before they see one”.
