This story begins from an orphanage at Varanasi, where 2 newborn babies were left by

their parents. Out of them one was a boy child & another girl. The only fault of those
babies was that they were born blind by birth. The boy child belonged to the family of a
poor farmer who already had 5 children, consisting of 3 daughters and 2 sons. As the
farmer could not bear the fact of his last boy child being born blind by birth and may be
due to his poverty, he was forced to take a decision of leaving his boy child in an
orphanage.

Now coming to the story of a girl child left in orphanage, even though she was born in a
royal family to a great industrialist father who already had 2 sons in their family. Also
their family being a male dominated & the cause that she was born blind by birth made
them to take a decision of leaving her in an orphanage.

You can imagine how mercilessly those 2 new born babies were thrown at orphanage
by their parents. Ofcourse life cannot stop them here as you know life never waits for
anyone…. The show must go on.

The orphanage authorities named those 2 babies, the girl child as “Bela” & the boy child
as “Abraham” respectively.

Time passed, days passed and years passed away, Bela & Abraham grew up in
Orphanage, where they got selfless love and utmost freedom eventhough they were
blind. They both grew up with time and right from their childhood they were best friends
ever, who used to play and study together, share their stationery, eatables & other
items. Also they learnt the art of cooking, painting, etc. They lived happily in the
orphanage & were known for their friendship & togetherness among others.

Further, the life takes a twist for both of them, when Abraham turns out to be 6 years
old. On the same day, a royal merchant from the middle east arrives at the orphanage,
who had made a lots of contribution for the wellness and enhancement of the
orphanage to its authorities. This man had everything in life including name & fame,
plenty of properties & renowned estates of his own, but after him he had no heir to look
after his assets, as his wife cannot bear a child due to medical failures. The purpose of
the arrival of this childless couple at orphanage was to adopt a child for them. On their
request, the orphanage authorities allows them to meet Bela and Abraham. The rich
merchant was pleased by Abraham and his attractive features, eventhough he was
blind. The couple decides to adopt Abraham and take with them. They also promised
the authorities for eye treatment of Abraham and giving him eye vision.

It was very difficult for Abraham and Bela to depart from each other after listening the
decision from the orphanage authorities. Bela prepared her mind as it was for the better
future of Abraham. Ofcourse they had to live in tears, which made them wipe whenever
they thought about each other.
Many years passed & seasons passed away, as promised the merchant gets done the
eye treatment of Abraham & he gains his eye vision. By now Abraham had turned into
a young gentle man of 20 years, who has also become a great renowned trader in
Middle East. Time has changed everything in his life, but still he remembers his
orphanage life and childhood companion Bela. Now he wanted to see Bela, so he
decides to go back to the orphanage for meeting her.

As decided, Abraham arrives at the Orphanage where he had left his childhood
unforgettable memories of life. The orphanage authorities & his other friends were glad
to meet him. Ofcourse, Bela was too curious to see him, so she runs and hugs him
blindly. Abraham was shocked when he saw Bela with his gained vision. The dark ugly
skin, thin pale body, dry hairs & blind eyes of Bela made her a stranger to him. He
denies accepting his old companion Bela, who had been with him right from birth. Then
he leaves from the orphanage and returns back to him royal life.

This act of Abraham leaves Bela in tears and under depression. As time passed out,
she gets healed out of her pain & accepts the truth of her life. Later a twist takes place
in her life too, now time turns to her, when she met with an eye specialist doctor who
had come to the orphanage for check up of all the members. As he sees Bela and her
keen interest in studying, he decides to take her abroad with him for her eye treatment
and grant higher studies. Bela leaves the orphanage with him with a great hope and
fear as life was giving her another opportunity.

Bela studies hard and achieves her Doctorate degree at Boston. After practising few
years there, she returns back to the orphanage to meet the authorities and her friends;
who were glad to receive her back. By now, she has turned into a beautiful & smart
princess of 25 years. Meanwhile in the orphanage a coincidence takes place when she
meets Abraham, who also arrives at the same time for granting his charity to the
authorities. When they meet each other again, in face to face, Abraham gets attracted
to Bela & her charming looks. He proposes her to marry him. But she denies to marry
him and express her decision of marrying a blind man and spend her rest of the life by
providing free medical treatment & care to the same orphanage, which gave her shelter
& brought up from her birth.

Later, Bela gets married to a blind man named Zeham from the same orphanage. She
gives medical treatment to Zeham & succeeds in gaining back his eye vision. Now Bela
and Zeham lived happily as ever, looking after the orphanage, providing free medical
treatment & care to all the needy & orphans.

As many years passed out, one fine day morning when Bela was providing her medical
consultancy at the orphanage, there she meets an old man of 70 years, who had lost
his eyes. She could get to understand that he was a great industrialist once, having 2
sons and wife. His family had grabbed all his properties & wealth then threw him in this
orphanage. It was no sooner, Bela learnt from the other old members of the orphanage
that he was her father who once threw her to this orphanage long back.
