Have you ever wondered what true friendship & love means? hard to define and hard to find in this world. But exceptions are always there.Its a story of compassion, committment & dedication a man can inculcate while dealing with true love and friendship. Its story of life & death and thin red line that separate them.
A boy ,an artist by profession, whose skills bring laurel and appreciation to him ,has a very beautiful and caring friend. It seems they are made for each. every evening, boy just walk down the street just to see her glimpse.They go out and sit by the river side for hours speaking nothing but their hearts can understand the hidden feelings they carry for each other.Boy tells lot of stories of moon & star & girl sits beside him quitely listening to his fairytales. It is evening and really dark, boy insists her to go but there is somehting which binding her to stay back. She enjoys his company and wishes this moment would never die.
Next day boy again walks up to her house with wrapped thing. Girl is standing on doorway as if shes been waiting for him for ages.He offers sovenir to her and desperately she opens that wrapped thing. Boy can feel the light in her eyes. She laughs and hug him. It is the portrait of her which he did it long time back.They sit under moon light and boy is overwhelmed by the smell of girl's perfume carried by cold breeze. Then girl breaks silence and says, she is going for some reasons and she won't be able to see him. Boy with a little smile on his face ask her to make promise that she will be in touch where ever she goes and he will wait for her.
Days were not same as they used to be for boy, but he doesn't quit visiting her house hoping she would come out with big smile. he doesn't hear nothing from her. Days turn into months and months into years. No news from girl.Gradually he starts loosing interest in painting, his life excites him no more. He stops going out and stops meeting people. All he can do sit in his room thinking about her all the time.He starts finding her in every person. But there is no way
which can ease his pain. He starts loosing himself.He attempts to end his life. but It was not easy for him. Heaps of question take his sleep away.He is restless, hopeless & helpless. Gradually he starts accepting the reality that she will never come back and his life changes forever. He is more quite than he was ever. He starts keeping pretty much to himself. In other word he is body without soul.
One day he wakes up in the morning and receive phone call. The call is from other city and nurse on the line informes him that there is one girl who keep saying your name in pain. He immediatley pack his back and on his way to see her. when he reaches there he finds she is the same girl, hospitalised. she has lost all hope and she doesn't want to live. He goes mad, looking at her condition. Afterall she is his first love. Doctor on duty says she keeps staring at leaf outside window all the time and she says when that leaf dies, that day will be the last day of her life. Doctor can give medicine but they can not treat or give hope to a person unless or untill person himself is determined to come out of it. Nurse standing beside her says we all know that leaf will die one day. It is peculair case.Boy cann't help thinking that how come she is sick & so depressed.
Next morning he comes to see her. she is sleeping. He kisses on her cheek and tear rolls down his eyes and falls on her forehead.He sees his love going away one more time right in front of his eyes. he decides, he will not let her go so easily. He stands up and walks up to window and look at the leaf. Inside his heart he knows soon autumn will arrive and leaf has to die. That thought shatter him ,he immediately go home, picks up his brush and canvass and starts doing portrait. A life time portrait and someone life depends on every colour and texture he is going to put.
He visits her everyday but she doesn't talk to him, Autumn arrives and then spring but leaf is still there, as green as it was ever. hope starts building and miracle happens. She starts showing postive sign. When she is discharged from hospital boy takes her to that window and says look at the leaf. When she touches the leaf she feels it is not real. Its a portrait of leaf. Boy holds her from arms and say I did it for you so that she doesn't leave him alone in this world. Tears roll down her eyes and she runs into his arms and say I left you alone. I couldn't understand your love. Boy holds her face and says its alright !!!!!!
but why she ends up in hospital???? that is mystery
