Precilia, a lively girl. She has a wonderful family with loving and caring parents and a cheerful sister. She loves people around her. She loves to laugh around. She loves to dance around. She loves to live. It’s her first year in college. Her first ‘Freshers’. She is excited. She has made a few friends, the closest being Happy and Shanaya. She even has her childhood friend Shramya in the same college. Okay, so it’s the official freshers’ party of college. The stage is set. As each of her college mate comes and performs on stage, she enjoys and claps for them. It’s now time for the band performance. Precilia has heard for the first time about the band. She is excited to watch them perform. As they take the stage, she looks at them. Her eyes suddenly freeze at the guitarist of the band. She does not believe in lovey dovey things, but she is suddenly feeling something similar. The band starts with a song and Precilia is still lost in the guitarist. She feels each word of the song and goes deep in it. The performance comes to an end. She wants to watch more of it though. But without further thoughts, she decide to find out more about the guitarist. One thing’s for sure. She is smitten. If not in love, she certainly has felt something special. She has never felt this way before.
She goes to him directly. “Hi, You guys were simply awesome, I’m Precilia,” is all she could say. “Thanks, I’m Sam”. She couldn’t say anything the moment he spoke. “Precilia”, shouts Shanaya from behind. And that’s all for the day. Post this, she keeps thinking of Sam whole day. She wants to see him everyday in college. She wants to talk to him. In all this while, she makes two special friends, Katyand Ken. She shares a special bond with both these girls. She tells her close friends about her feelings. Since katy is close to Sam, she warns Precilia, of not falling too deep. But it’s too late probably. Precilia is now totally and truly in love with Sam. She wants to be with him. She wants to listen to every song he sings. She decides to let Sam know what she feels for him. She is scared of talking to him. So she decides to text him. She writes a long SMS expressing the special feeling that she has for Sam. But to her disappointment, Sam is not ready. He says No in a soft way though, being careful of not hurting her. But the No is heartbreaking for Precilia. She is completely shattered. She spends quite some days thinking about Sam and then decides to move on.
But to her irony, she just could not. When she dreams, its about Sam. When she thinks, its about Sam. Almost two years have passed now, but Sam hasn’t left her heart and mind. She very well knows, Sam has moved on. He loves a girl named Sherin. But she chooses to ignore that. She is in office, busy with her work, when all of a sudden everything in front of her goes blur. She is breathless and before she could realize whats happening, she faints. Her friends Ken and Adam (Ken’s boyfriend) rush her to the hospital. After all her check ups, all the doctor could say is, “She hardly has a month. It’s Cancer, last stage.” When precilia opens her eyes, she sees her parents, her sister and her friends Ken and Adam around. They all have tears in their eyes. Precilia curiously asks them, “What happened?” She shivers and asks again, “What’s wrong? Please tell me.” At last Ken speaks, “it’s Cancer and not even a month,” and she breaks down.
Precilia is speechless. She does not know how to react. She hugs everyone present there. In some days, she meets all her loved ones. But that special loved one, she realizes is still not around. “Katy, I need to see him once, hug him once. Please.”
The next day, she wakes up, she sees Sam standing right in front of her with a drop of tear in his eye. She is delighted to see him. Ignoring her weak health she jumps out of her bed and hugs him. She cries for long and so does Sam. “I love you Sam”, she says. “I love you too”, the last words she hears. It’s silence around. Everything has gone still. Precilia lived her best moment while ending her life in Sam’s arms and all her loved ones around. She lived her music, her dance, her joy, her peace – all in that one moment. She is happy in heaven as she got her life when she was dying. That one moment of life was her most wonderful moment.
