Chapter 1 - A Mother's Miracle

A Miracle of Faith 🌼

Page 1

In a small town in West Bengal lived Surya and Ritu. They were a very simple family, but their love was extraordinary. Surya was hardworking and responsible, and Ritu was cheerful and kind-hearted. Their marriage had been arranged by their families, yet after marriage they became each other's greatest strength.

Two years later, a beautiful baby boy was born into their lives — Biju. His tiny smile filled their home with light. Every evening after work, Surya would rush home just to hold his son in his arms. Ritu would stand quietly and watch them, her heart full of happiness.

Life felt perfect. But suddenly, Ritu began to fall sick. At first, they thought it was just weakness or fever. However, after several medical tests, the doctors gave them shocking news — Ritu had cancer.

The news felt like a thunderbolt to Surya. Ritu sat silently, tears rolling down her cheeks as she looked at little Biju. One thought kept hurting her heart — "My son is so small… who will take care of him if I am not there?"

Treatment began immediately. Chemotherapy, medicines, hospital visits — their days became filled with pain and fear. Ritu's hair began to fall out. Her body grew weak. But she never cried in front of Biju.

Even though Biju was very young, he understood that his mother was suffering. One day he sat beside her and said softly,

"Ma, don't cry. I will pray to God so that you become well."

From that day, Biju went to their small prayer room every day. In their house there was a small idol of Durga. Biju could not light incense properly with his tiny hands, but he would place flowers in front of the idol and pray,

"God, please make my mother well. I promise I won't be naughty."

Ritu would sometimes listen from behind the door, tears flowing silently. She would pray in her heart, "Oh God, please let me live for my child."

One day, Ritu's condition suddenly became very critical. She had to be admitted to the hospital immediately. The doctors said her situation was serious. Surya felt completely broken inside, yet he tried to stay strong for his family.

Biju held his mother's hand in the hospital and said,

"Ma, you cannot go anywhere. I told God that you will get better."

That night, Surya sat alone in the hospital corridor, crying silently. He had never felt so helpless in his life. In his heart he prayed,

"God, take my life if you want, but please save Ritu."

Meanwhile, at home, little Biju knelt down again in front of the idol and prayed with folded hands,

"If you make my mother healthy, I will grow up to be a good person."

His innocent prayer rose into the silent night.

After a few days, something unexpected happened. The doctors noticed improvement in Ritu's health. Slowly, her body began responding to the treatment. The medical reports showed that the cancer was coming under control.

Surya could hardly believe it. He thanked the doctors again and again, but deep inside he felt that this was more than just medicine — it was a blessing.

When Ritu became a little stronger, she held Biju close and said softly,

"Your prayers brought me back."

Biju smiled brightly and replied,

"I told you, Ma. God would make you better."

That evening, the whole family lit lamps together in their prayer room, filled with gratitude and hope.

After months of treatment, Ritu recovered almost completely. Her hair slowly began to grow back. The glow returned to her face. Life felt new again.

One evening, the three of them stood on the rooftop watching the sunset. The sky was painted red and golden. Ritu whispered,

"We have been given a second life."

Surya held her hand and said,

"This life is the victory of love and faith."

Biju stood between them, laughing happily. His laughter echoed in the evening air.

Ritu looked up at the sky and silently thanked God. She realized that no matter how dark life becomes, love and faith can create miracles.

And so, Surya, Ritu, and little Biju began their new journey — a life filled with gratitude, courage, and endless love.As the sun slowly disappeared beyond the horizon, Surya tightened his hold on Ritu's hand. He had almost lost her once, and the fear of that memory still haunted him. But today, hope felt stronger than fear.

Ritu closed her eyes for a moment and listened to Biju's laughter. That laughter had become her reason to fight. Every painful injection, every sleepless night in the hospital, every tear she had hidden — it was all worth it just to hear her son call her "Ma" again.

Surya looked at the sky and whispered, "Thank you." He didn't know whether it was science, medicine, or a miracle — but he knew love had played its part.

From that day forward, they promised never to take a single moment for granted. Because sometimes, life gives you pain to teach you the value of happiness.

And in their small home, filled with simple dreams and strong faith, love had truly defeated darkness.
