Turning Point (2019)

In the mid of a crowded park, on a bench, sits a young man, alone with a book on his hand, whose pages are just being flipped, showing no interests what the words read. In a mean time, his loneliness is interrupted by a young girl holding a box in her hand. Aksh, the young man offers her to sit. Not willing to be regarded as ill-mannered, Ananya accepts the proposal/offer and takes the edge. Few cordial-words get exchanged in between them, but the atmosphere gets strained as young people do not know how to continue unsaid conversations. Stark of gloominess was never leaving her face since the time he saw her. Out of Aksh's curiosity, he asked several questions from whether she's alright to if she has been fired. The mysterious box still intrigued him. "No", he got a reply," I haven't been fired and what makes you think that?". "The box." A drop of tear rolled down her cheek and the box felt heavier. The memories which it carried of her younger brother who met with an accident yesteryear, wasn't easy to store. The accident which took away her brother and half of her face led her to think to end her life. Knowing this Aksh sympathized. His warm words made her think that her scars are beautiful, and his past entirely changed the young girl's perspective towards life. One being treated with last stage cancer and the other burdened with past memories of her brother; one's life takes a turn leading the other to be someone's reason to live.
