Hindi Story: Kavita's mother was unwell. She had a lot of breathing problems. She was taken to the doctor several times but there was little effect. One day their family friend told them about a Yoga Ashram which was built on a hilly place. Kavita's father booked an appointment there and took a room there. Four days later, they left for there. After reaching there and meeting the doctor, he told them about some asanas, abstinence and medicines. Kavita's father said, “You get the medicines from the medical store here tomorrow and then we will leave for back. “Yes, father,” said Kavita.

The next day, wearing her favourite black and white suit, Kavita went to get the medicine. Her dupatta and slightly wet long hair were waving freely in the cold wind. She was walking keeping an eye on the doctor's prescription when her eyes fell in front. There a boy was standing with some people and was looking at her. The smile on his face was telling that he liked Kavita very much. As Kavita was passing by him, the boy's neck was turning. But Kavita had not looked at him completely carefully.

“Amit! Amit! Where are you lost, friend?” the boy's friends called out. “Nothing, let's go.” The words flew away with the gust of wind but Amit did not know that he was to see that first sight again in his life.

He was travelling in a bus to Delhi when Kavita boarded the bus from Ghaziabad and sat behind Arvind. Amit was unable to understand what was happening to him. Who was the girl he was seeing. It seemed as if God had written them to be together. He used to look at her from the side or from behind on some pretext or the other. To see her properly, he stood near the gate fifteen minutes before. Kavita was feeling a little awkward so she started reading a book.

After a while her stop was also about to come so she went and stood near the gate. The driver applied the brake hard to stop the bus and Kavita started falling forward with a jerk. She held herself by holding the seat of the bus and put the dupatta forcefully on her shoulder from behind. When the stop came, she got off the bus. Amit also got down at the same bus stop and kept watching Kavita going in an auto. He was angry at himself that today he could have found out something about that girl.

Many years passed like this. Today Amit was a big doctor. One day a woman had an appointment with him. As soon as Kavita entered Amit's cabin, Amit did not waste a moment in recognizing her. Kavita did not know him very well anyway. “Tell me, what is the problem?” Amit asked. (On the surface he was asking like a doctor but in his heart he was very happy to meet her) When Kavita told him about the fever, Amit wrote a prescription for her.

She left after getting the medicine for her fever. Even today Amit was just looking at her and could not say anything.

When Amit saw the slip with her name on it, for the first time he read her name “Kavita”, Mrs. Kavita Anurag, along with her address and phone number. For Amit, it seemed like there was no point in meeting her now, but even today the attraction of the first sight took him to Kavita's street. While going home, he used to drive his car in front of her house. Luckily, she would be drinking tea or strolling in the balcony at that time. Despite not meeting her, Amit was so happy that at least he was able to see his Kavita. It was as if the past 24 years had come back.

One day when Amit went out from there, he did not see Kavita, he became disappointed. After that when she was not seen for many days, he called. After a long time, someone picked up the phone, and on asking, it was revealed that Anurag used to harass Kavita. Now when their son went abroad for a job after completing his studies and Kavita also got a job somewhere, she divorced Anurag and left the house forever.

There was an endless emptiness in Amit's life. He had never been able to forget the love he felt for Kavita at first sight and so he was lonely till today. He had not even married and now his parents had also left him. Amit had almost stopped going anywhere. His life was moving between home and hospital.

One day in his colorless life, he gets a call, “Hello! Are you Dr. Amit? I am Savita from 'Kamkaji Mahila Ashram'.” “Yes, tell me,” Amit asked. Savita said, “Yes, Doctor Sahib, there are women of almost every age in our ashram who do some kind of employment or job. Due to this hard work, they are not able to take proper care of their body and often remain ill. I request you to conduct a workshop of a few days in our ashram so that they can get information and help.” At first, Amit thinks of avoiding it but for his own good, he agrees to her.

Amit reaches the ashram on the decided day. Everyone welcomes him there very well. Amit gives very good information to all the women about their health. Everyone enjoyed his workshop very much. In this way, Amit spent 6 days solving everyone's problems.

On the last day, when he was answering all the women's questions, he saw Kavita entering the hall door. Even after so many years, Amit did not make any mistake in recognizing the middle-aged Kavita. He was talking to all the women but this time he was making up his mind that he would tell Kavita everything that was in his mind and then he would see what happened next.

The workshop ends and Amit goes straight to Kavita, “Hello! My name is Amit. You may not know me but I know a lot about you and I have not been able to forget you for the last 24 years.” Hearing this, Kavita gets shocked and asks, “What do you mean by not being able to forget? We have never met.” “We have met many times,” Amit said with a smile. “Many times, when?” Kavita asked in surprise. First of all, when you came to the ashram with your parents. I saw you for the first time in a black and white suit and fell in love with you since then. The second time, you sat behind me in the Delhi bus and when the bus jolted, this earring of yours fell down which I have kept safely even today.” While saying this, Amit showed the earring tied to the chain around his neck. Kavita was still not able to understand anything and was listening to everything quietly.

Amit tells her about coming to the clinic now and then visiting her home. “When you were not seen for many days, I called your home and found out about the divorce. I thought you had gone abroad to your son. After that I had given up all hope. But today when I saw you here, I gathered courage and told you everything. The only thing I don’t know is how you came here.”

Kavita, while controlling herself, says, “I never wanted to live abroad. Sometimes I go to my son's place for a few days. I had talked to Savita ji here. She and I take care of the work of the ashram. Today she did not come, so I looked after all the work of the workshop. Who are you and what should I answer to your question?”

Amit tells her everything about himself and then asks her to marry him, “Kavita, I have waited for you for a long time. I want that at this stage of our life and the rest of our lives, we spend our lives as companions. Yes, please say yes.” Kavita replies, “I will talk to my son once.” Kavita calls and comes back. She doesn’t say anything and smilingly takes the earring from Amit’s hand and after wearing it says, “Let’s give a destination to your love at first sight at this stage of our life.”
