The Healing Sight

In a peaceful valley lived a woman named Ananya and her husband, Vikram. Vikram was a traveling merchant, often away for weeks. One summer, Vikram had to travel to a distant land for a long journey. As soon as he left, a heavy sadness settled over Ananya. She felt weak, and her skin lost its healthy glow; she looked pale and weary, as if her very strength had faded with his absence. She spent her days staring at the doorway, waiting. One evening, just as the sun was setting, Vikram walked through the gate. The moment Ananya saw his face, a spark returned to her eyes. As they sat together and she gazed upon him, the exhaustion that had weighed down her shoulders seemed to vanish instantly. The simple joy of looking at the one she loved restored her spirit and her health. His presence was the only medicine she needed.
