The Darkness

The Darkness

Being accused of bribery Dheeraj was feeling skeptical to visit him this year instead he was thinking to commit suicide feeling unable to cope pressure of media and society

Although he was not guilty but trials by media has clobbered his public image which was making it difficult for him to face that man whom he respected the most in the world, the man who brought him into light of education from the darkness of illiteracy, his mentor,his teacher Mr Gyan Dev.

Gyan Dev saw him polishing shoes at railway station when he was five years old having books kept by his side which made him discover Dheeraj's silent urge for education and admitted him to his orphanage where he took care of his education and well being like a father.

After becoming Dean of the coveted state university Dheeraj made it a habit to visit his teacher on the occasion of Teacher's Day i.e 5th September and to spend the whole day with him whatever would be his condition but circumstances this year were making him hesitant and suicidal.

As he prepared to hang himself from ceiling fan Gyan Dev came and hugged him releasing him from the darkness of death he fixed for himself.
