The Silver Lining

By O. Susmita

When facing the most difficult challenge that life can throw at us, can we come together as a family or will we fall apart? It is an everyday battle that Savya and her family, ever since that fateful day when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. It didn't seem fair or reasonable that her mother had to suffer when everybody else just went about their lives unhindered. But, it is what it is and it is time to understand the true meaning of family.

I like writing. I like reading. I like the feel of a paper as it gently brushes under my thumb or as my pen skims rapidly over its surface. I like empty notebooks and the promises they hold. Just as I like a book with its pages filled with the imaginations from minds afar. There are so many stories to be told and listened to in this world and this is, but, a small beginning.

What is this? the Chief asked, glowering at her over his spectacles.

My leave application for tomorrow, sir, replied Savya softly.

Tomorrow is OPD day. I can’t sanction your leave, he dismissed and went back to the case file on his desk, signalling the end of the interview.

I’m sorry, sir. But, I cannot come tomorrow, she said calmly.

The chief lifted his head and glowered at her again; longer this time.

And why would that be? he asked, mock-politely.

We are taking a family trip tomorrow. I need to be there for that, she replied in the same soft voice.

You don’t need to be anywhere but here, in the hospital!
