She was about to fall,again it was the fear of death. But it was the most hardest day of her life as her heart was broken and didn't have any kind of love towards life to live.

She sat down seeing the sky and started crying out loud,her eyes were showing her pains but couldn't be expressed in words.

Wiping the tears, she got up and started walking down the hill. 

Orphan Imara grew up in hostel and only her friends made her feel love towards life because she was miserable for not seeing her parents even at once. As the days passed on, she completed her studies in arts, worked part time as waitress, receptionist and earned some money for daily life.  It was a rainy day and she was waiting for the bus to get back to the hostel, it was already late as she went for a art competition.

At last, the bus came and she reached out to hostel. She was dripping due to heavy rain, she changed her clothes and sat on bed with a cup of tea.

She was sitting thinking about something in her mind, the smoke of the tea was making her warm.  "Did your painting won the competition?", asked her friend Sara. "The results will be next week", Imara replied. As it was late night and also too tired, Imara went to bed. In the morning, Sara woke up early and got ready for her work and saw Imara still asleep.  She didn't wanted to wake her up as she was very tired last night. 

She kept food ready for her, kept a note which said she would be coming late night today. She soundly closed the door and went.

Sara had strong hope and wanted her best friend's painting to win as she grew seeing her landmark in arts. 

The table had many paintings to be evaluated and give one of them the award and that was the greatest dream come true for Imara. Russell was the chief evaluator of the competition and also was an great artist too who was a handsome bachelor. He made his job easier by selecting top 50 paintings amongst 300 participants. By coming across the paintings he saw a painting, it was a heart filled with half thorns and other half with flowers with a beautiful background and warm colors. Seeing this dazzling painting he decided the results and gave the report to department and informed to announce the top participants to visit the grand auditorium for results. The department decided to send invitations as informed by the chief. Russell left the pen on the table and started to walk out of the cabin, getting downstairs he was thinking about that amazing painting. "Oh no! I forgot to see the name of that artist but anyway I'll get to know next week", he whispered.

He sat behind in his car and his driver started moving towards way to home. Sitting beside the windows, the painting was disturbing Russell's mind to know the name of the artist. He immediately called the department of art gallery.

"Hello! Welcome to art gallery, how may I help you?", said the crew member. "It's Russell here, could you tell me the name of the artist for which I've selected as the winner?", he replied

"Please hang on Mr.Russell", said the crew and stared to look at documented reports for winners list while the paintings of the winner was preparing to be displayed on the walls of the gallery.

"Thank you for being on hold Mr.Russell, the winner selected by you is Imara, thanks for calling...have a good day",said the crew and disconnected the call.

Russell sat on sofa and sighed with relief. "What a wonderful soul Imara has and it was turned into a painting and how her real soul would be? It's just a amazing heart with great soul, what if Imara as a life partner of mine will be ?", he talked to himself. He took a nap dreaming about Imara and the program at grand auditorium.

It was noon already, Imara woke up and saw the clock by rubbing her eyes. She put some sandwiches and salad into a plate and sat at dining table. She was thinking about the painting she did. Suddenly, the door rang and she kept plate and pulled the door to see who it was. "Here's a post for you from art gallery ma'am", said the postman. "Did my painting won the competition?", she asked.

"I don't know but wishing you that it'll come true",said postman and gave the envelope and went.

"Hmmm, let me finish my lunch first", said Imara and went back to dining table to have food. She washed her hands and wiped it off, took the envelope and opened the invitation from it.

It had a message saying, "A warm and hearty welcome to the top participants to the great auditorium of art gallery this Sunday evening. We sincerely appreciate your participation and your presence will make our program a success.

Wishing you all the best of luck. Thanking you, Russell (chief head, The Art Gallery)".

"Oh wow! I'm really excited who the winner will be", said Imara with joy.

As Imara didn't have any other work this week, she watched television for a while and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner before Sara returned from the work. She prepared some delicious pasta and a dessert and waited to her best friend. She was thinking about the program that's going to happen this Sunday and who the winner is. "What will I wear for the program ? A gown or a dress?", she wondered. "Hello! dream girl", Sara waved her hand in front of her eyes. "Oh! Come soon to dining table I've made a dessert for today's dinner",said Imara with excitement. Sara got freshened and sat opposite to Imara and asked,"What's special for having dessert now?" "I received an invitation today from the art gallery and specially from the great artist Russell",said Imara.  "Your painting won, isn't it dear?",Sara asked with excitement.

"Still not sure about that but we need to visit to the grand auditorium this Sunday to get to know the winner and I hope this will be my turning point of my life", said Imara. They both went to bed. 

It was Sunday, the day for which Imara was in a strong hope to get award for her painting and become famous artist like Russell. Russell decided to propose Imara in front of audience and press, no matter about her beauty,family or even status. He was stubborn with this decision and said crew members about this and made some special arrangements and said to keep it a secret and surprise for all. He dressed up very handsome  and the grand auditorium had turned into a heaven, decorated with red and white flowers and also there were some crews standing at the entrance with lots of chocolates to distribute. The program was all set to go.

Imara wore embellished cherry red gown along with matching accessories and also Sara wore a floral dress with a blazer to accompany her. They went to grand auditorium with the envelope they received.

"Why the auditorium is decorated too special and it's not same as the previously attended programs", Imara got confused a bit. They both sat in front row as Imara was one of the top selected participant. Russell came on the podium and started his speech. He gave some introduction and information about the great painting contest held and also spoke about the paintings.

"And now it's time to announce the name of the only winner selected by me, the award goes to the painting which made my heart melt and couldn't stop myself expressing words to it", said Russell and made everyone curious.

Imara and Sara were looking at him very tensed. "And the winner is.... Imara!", Russell shouted with joy. Imara was full of tears and Sara hugged her very tight and both cried with happiness. Imara's heart was thumping to receive her award and moreover she was more tensed to receive it from a great artist. She stood in front of him seeing his eyes which were about to say something. Russell gave the award and everyone made a big round of applause, all media took photos and also it was a live recording of the great auditorium program. "Thank you very much and it means a lot to me", she thanked him and started to move on back to her seat. Russell stopped her holding her hand and looked at her lovely eyes and said, " what a beautiful soul you have, I wish you as a life partner till the end of my life, will it be remained as a wish for rest of my life or it'll come true?". Everyone screamed with joy and some beautiful sparkles came all over the auditorium.His eyes were full of tears showing his honesty. "Please accept my darling....and this is the greatest part of your life", Sara shouted. Imara looked at everyone for a while and said,"I'll make your wish come true!".

Russell jumped up in joy and hugged Imara and kissed her with emotional love. Her painting was displayed at the background screen and there was rain of flowers all over the auditorium. He wiped his tears and announced that she'll be his wife forever. Imara had no words to express her feeling of excitement and said,"this is the day gifted by God to me to start a new chapter of my life and I'm very blessed to have a famous and favorite artist as my life partner and also I always be grateful to my best friend Sara who supported my dreams throughout the life". Everyone's eyes were wet seeing this honest love happened with a art. Russell announced that he would be telling his wedding dates next week. The program ended and rest of the audience left the auditorium. He gave his phone number written in a small diary to Imara and said, "love you from my soul and forever". "Me too", said Imara with love and went home with Sara.

Imara took off her gown, wore pajamas and started to cry out loud with joy and said, "I'm very lucky and blessed,this is my fantastic day ever! And you.. Sara my dear, I thank you ever and I also request you to stay with me forever". Sara cried and hugged,"I love you Imara". Both sighed with relief and slept on their beds. 

"Not only my dream came true but new dreams are on the way", said Imara. "Now we need not worry about hostel rent and bills",said Sara. They both laughed out loud and slept soundly.  Next day morning, Sara was getting ready for her work as usual and also prepared some food. Imara was still asleep and Sara went quietly to not to make her friend awake. "Congo! Sara...", everyone welcomed her in office. "It was a very wonderful program with live proposal and it was like a film", her boss appreciated and everyone were happy for her friend Imara. Also Sara was very proud of her friend. After a while Imara woke up late as she did always and wondered to call Russell. Her heart was thumping again but she decided to do it later after having her bath and food. She took a nice warm bath and had some food, kept the plate on the table and dialed the number with telephone. It was ringing but no response, she thought that he would be out somewhere as he was a busy artist. She took a glass of juice in her hand and sat down on sofa to watch television. While watching, she switched the channel to watch some news as the program of great auditorium telecasted. Suddenly she left the glass from her hand and was in a great shock, the glass and her soul broke into pieces all at once. Russell had met with a accident while going to art gallery with Imara's painting. He was holding her painting tight but was bleeding on the road. The crew members took the painting and ensured to be displayed as the top painting in art gallery. Seeing this Imara shouted, "Noooo!" She was sweating and didn't know what to do. Later the news reader announced that great artist Russell is been hospitalized and is in very serious condition because he had very bad injury to his head and chest as his car was attacked by a truck.  

Imara left the door open,ran into the car crying loud and drove towards the hill which was near to the city. "Imara....!", shouted the hostel owner along with other room mates but no one couldn't stopped her. "I didn't felt my parent's love in my life, Sara showed me the love to live life and I thought Russell will replace my parents and give me all love I need but why God made my new chapter with a twist, I don't deserve this boon or I can't make his wish come true", Imara cried. She had already reached the hill top, got down from the car and stood at the end point of the hill and decided to fall but the fear of death made her step backwards. While the town had the top news of Russell's accident, Sara had already reached the hospital. "It'll be a miracle  if he open his eyes", said the Doctor with no more further hope. Sara saw Russell sleeping as if he was in dream of Imara. All the media surrounded Sara for more updates on Russell's condition but she didn't utter a word but cried out loud. The sun started to disappear and it was surrounded by darkness while Imara was alone on the hill. She was about to fall,again it was the fear of death. But it was the most hardest day of her life as her heart was broken and didn't have any kind of love towards life to live.

She sat down seeing the sky and started crying out loud,her eyes were showing her pains but couldn't be expressed in words.

Wiping the tears, she got up and started walking down the hill as she decided to live for her best friend Sara. "Oh My God ! Russell is awake",the nurse shouted and the doctor rushed into the ward. Russell woke up and asked"where's Imara?" "You can't go in this condition", said the Doctor. "But I'm still alive because of her,please don't stop me",Russell looked towards the window and saw Sara waiting. "Imara...?", Russell looked at Sara. "I know where she'll be...come let's don't be late", said Sara with hope and they both rushed into the car.  All the media followed them. The crew member drove the car as fast as he can towards the hill top while Sara and Russell were sitting back looking at the windows if Imara could be seen somewhere around. When they started driving up to the hill half way, the crew stopped the car suddenly and said,"look there.. it's Imara". Russell and Sara got down from the car and saw Imara walking down the hill wiping her tears. "Imara....!",Russell and Sara shouted. Imara saw them and came running, her eyes were filled with tears of love. She hugged her best friend Sara at first and looked at Russell in shock. Sara explained everything happened and Russell hold Imara's hand and said,"your strong love with pure soul saved me from death bed ....your love is eternal", he cried. "Our love is eternal together", Sara hugged them both and all cried together with happiness. 

And of course,this wonderful scene was a biggest news of the country the very next day.
