On the stage stood final 3 contestants holding their breath as they wait for the results. They stood with pride representing the honor of their countries. As those three prepared themselves for a final walk, each one had different emotions running in their hearts. 

Among those three, one contestant was indeed very special. She stood there with pride in her eyes and gracefully had captivated the hearts of the entire audience, the judges and even her fellow competitors. Everyone was in awe with her. She started walking down the runaway with elegance and sophistication. In the background a nice violin was played enhancing the emotional atmosphere which soothed her down.

Audience saw her for the last time and she waved and walked in her stunning off shoulder white gown. The gown showed off her white silky-smooth skin and featured a fitted bodice that accentuated her figure and it flowed into a ballgown silhouette. The voluminous satin skirt added the sense of grandeur and drama to her overall appearance on the stage. The gown stood proud with beadwork enhancing the visual impact and embellishments added a subtle shimmer to catch the stage lights. The train likely trailed behind her as she walked on the stage, creating a regal and majestic effect. She looked no different than a real-life Cinderella.

My mom worked, as many of you know her, as a social worker and a famous author, I know her as a fighter. When the world didn't support her in raising a child with autism, she stood proud, raising her and providing a platform where her voice is now heard on one of the most prestigious stages in the world. She says I made her a better human being, but for me, she gave me the confidence to face the world, to treat autism not as a disease but to embrace my uniqueness and work towards the betterment of people with special needs in my country. Thank you, everyone and Big Thank you India. I owe everything to my country and my mom.

Somewhere in Delhi, Same Day:

The man in his late forties sat in a grand living room. He adjusted his specs and turned the volume up for the television. For the nth time he checked the X app for the results. His heart was filled with mixed bag of emotions when he saw her on that grand stage. Standing tall and proud just like him and beautiful graceful and poise just like her since he remembered 10 years back.

She was a striking replica of her with just one difference, she was short 5'2. She would fit into her arms perfectly and cried for hours complaining him about anything. She was the cutest devil who barged into his life like cool wind on a summer day. He looked carefully on the television screen and there he got a glimpse of her sitting in the audience with that man dancing with joy and abundance of energy. When the announcement of her moving into Top 3 came, he was jumping on the sofa with joy. And then her answer made his heart filled with respect for that woman who had beautifully raised her.

My mom worked, as many of you know her, as a social worker and famous author, I know her as a fighter. When the world didn't support her in raising a child with autism, she stood proud, raising her and providing a platform where her voice is now heard on one of the most prestigious stages in the world. She says I made her a better human being, but for me, she gave me the confidence to face the world, to treat autism not as a disease but to embrace my uniqueness and work towards the betterment of people with special needs in my country. Thank you, everyone and Big Thank you India. I owe everything to my country and my mom. "

Riya's memories were still fresh in his heart. Although it was 10 years now without her but it seems his heart didn't accept that she would ever leave him. She was accustomed to his ways and she had obliged every time accepting him back in her life. He had not once but many times broke her heart and, in the end, when she gave up, and never turned back.

In the end he couldn't redeem himself, he lost her in virtue of protecting others and his societal image. A lone tear walked through the corner of his eyes when he saw her glimpse sitting in audience. She was dancing with pure joy and Viaan couldn't be much happier. This was the image he could easily freeze in his heart for rest of his life.
