THE LAST WISH




"Any last wish?" The doctors asked the young man lying helplessly, summing up his life on the hospital bed.  This room of the hospital was filled with sorrow, sadness, grief, agony. He scanned all his family members, friends, relatives standing in the room as if his eyes were searching for the last wish. Finally his eyes stopped at the doctor and he expressed his desire..rather his last wish to talk to a person who was very dear to him, very close to his heart, someone he loved unconditionally, a voice that soothes his ears, melts his heart. Patiently listening doctors and all the other members were amazed, expressing the last wish brought so much of life on his face that no other medical miracle could do in last few days. He pointed his finger towards his mobile phone and requested the doctor to dial a number. The doctor happily took this responsibility of fulfilling his last wish. With an uncertain state of mind the doctor dialed the number. The young lad was anxiously waiting for the doctor to hand over the phone so he could live his last wish. The doctor kept on dialing the number repeatedly. Connecting a call shouldn’t take this long. Every passing second was like a leap year to him, reliving all the past memories. Finally the doctor leaned forward to talk, “I have tried several times to connect the call, but the call gets automatically rejected.” “What shall we do now?” The doctor completed his sentence after a pause.

No one could ever get a reply from him.

May his WISH Rest In Peace.
