Great Sacrifice

 

Everyone, once in their life has a moments when they fell all helpless, where they can’t do anything they want. For me that moment was when my wife was dying. My wife was doctor herself and was in died bed after meeting a car accident. Doctors were saying that all I can do was pray to god as even they couldn’t safe her now. And my worst fear came true, my wife died two days after her accident.

 

I woke up after two weeks myself, last thing I remembered was that my wife’s friend who worked with her in hospital coming up to me and saying that my wife left me. I just couldn’t accept that fact my wife was died, she was my whole life. I was depressed, I tried to overcome all that feelings but I just didn’t want to forget her.

 

Everyone who knew me were starting to get worried as I was not getting any better even after a month. No matter what I did, I just remembered her every moment. I wanted to kill myself but I was stopped by my friends and family couple of times.

 

It was six months after my wife’s died, I was getting normal but I still missed her. It was Sunday, I was home alone when a doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw a girl in her teen, I asked how could I help her? She said it was important and if she could come in. I didn’t know her so I heisted at first but she kept on insisting then I let her in.

 

She got in and started looking here and there, and she stood in front of wall where photos of me and my wife was hanging. She said “so this is you wife, she is beautiful.” I got more confused so I asked how she knew my wife.

She said “I don’t know her but she saved my life.” I was more confused than it hit me my wife would have been her doctor but she said she didn’t knew her.

“How did she saved your life? Was she your doctor?” I questioned.

“You may not know this but I have her heart, when she died her heart was given to me. I thought you should know. I, myself found this out recently.” She said. I lost my control, I had no idea about that. I had no idea how to react to that.

 

I sat and didn’t say anything for some time and even that girl didn’t spoke. I was getting angrier every passing second. How could they not tell me about this? Why they didn’t ask me before giving her heart to someone else? I had to get my answers so I rushed and went to hospital along with that girl.

 

I went directly to my wife’s doctor and showed her that girl and asked to explain all this. “I didn’t wanted you to find things like this, well to begin with it is true that this girl has your wife’s heart. Your wife, herself asked us to donate her heart as she was dying. She said it was her duty to save someone even if she dies. We wanted to tell you before but you were too depressed to handle something like this. Your wife also said that you would understand why she did that.” Doctor said.

 

It was too much to handle so I broke down into tears. After sometimes I thought about it in all the way and understood why my wife did that. Even when she was dying, she saved someone’s life, she proved that she was truly a doctor. I looked at that girl who had her heart, even she knew what I was feeling and she was truly greatly towards my wife.

 

Time passed by and now I am becoming more like before. Even though my wife died, she saved someone’s life. Even I found myself a sister who has same beating heart as my wife. We get alone very well and she has been supporting me well. I miss my wife but she left behind her heart for me.

 

THE END
