A Silent War Beyond the Borders of Conflict
This Story and Storyline By Study Buddy Shareline is intellectual property of © Prateek Sinha
Faizal had always known that life in Kashmir was different from the rest of the country. The snow-covered peaks, the mesmerizing valleys, and the scent of saffron fields in spring—all of it felt like poetry. But beyond this breathtaking beauty lay an untold struggle, one that could not be captured in pictures or written in books.
His world revolved around two things: his dream to become a doctor and his sister, Afreen. She was not just his sister but his biggest strength, his confidante, and his partner in every battle of life. The two of them had promised each other that no matter how difficult the circumstances, they would clear NEET and serve their people.
But in Kashmir, dreams had enemies.
The streets were never predictable—sometimes they were filled with the aroma of kahwa, and sometimes with the sound of bullets. Frequent curfews, sudden internet shutdowns, and the fear of an unknown future had always been a part of their daily lives. Yet, amidst all this, Faizal and Afreen never let their spirits waver. They would wake up early, revise their notes, and solve NEET-level MCQs under candlelight whenever electricity failed them. Their only hope? Their books and their unwavering belief in each other.

The Darkest Night
It was a cold December evening in 2017 when Faizal’s world shattered.
Afreen had gone to the market to get some supplies when chaos broke out—an unexpected crossfire between the security forces and militants. She was caught in the middle. A stray bullet, a scream, and then… silence.
Faizal rushed to the hospital, his heart hammering against his chest. His hands trembled as he held her—she was still warm, but her eyes no longer held the fire of dreams. Afreen was gone.
He felt his soul tear apart. The person who had been his guiding star, who had promised to stand beside him in the NEET battle, was now a name on a death certificate.
For days, he didn’t touch his books. The weight of grief was unbearable. “What’s the point?” he thought. “Who do I clear NEET for?”
He stopped attending classes. Stopped talking. Stopped eating. It felt as if his dreams had burned down along with Afreen’s funeral pyre.
The Mentor Who Refused to Let Him Fall
But there was one man who never gave up on him—Sinha Sir, the Botany teacher from Rajasthan.
Sinha Sir had always believed in Faizal’s potential. When he saw Faizal’s absence from classes, he knew he had to step in. He visited Faizal’s house despite the curfew, sat beside him in silence, and finally said,
“You promised your sister. She wanted to clear NEET, and now she lives through you. Will you let her dream die?”
Those words struck Faizal like lightning. His promise to Afreen—it wasn’t just a conversation between siblings; it was a vow. And vows are never meant to be broken.
That night, Faizal picked up his books again.
But it wasn’t easy. His hands still trembled when he held the pen. His vision blurred with unshed tears when he tried to read. Yet, he pushed himself. Sinha Sir and other teachers guided him, gave him daily targets, and ensured he never felt alone in his battle.
He started using audio explanations from Study Buddy Shareline—the only way he could study during electricity blackouts. He relied on knowledge bites, quick summaries that helped him revise during short breaks. The Study Buddies community became his second family, answering his doubts at odd hours.
For Faizal, this wasn’t just about passing an exam anymore. It was about proving that no tragedy, no conflict, and no darkness could kill a dream fueled by love and sacrifice.
The Day He Made Afreen Proud
Two years later, Faizal stood outside the Government Medical College of Kashmir, his hands gripping the admission letter. His heart pounded in his chest.
He had done it.
NEET wasn’t just an exam for him—it was proof that resilience could defeat even death itself. He looked up at the sky and whispered, “Afreen, we made it.”
She wasn’t there, but he could feel her presence in the wind that brushed against his face, in the sun rays that kissed the snow-capped peaks.
And as he walked through the gates of his new beginning, he knew one thing—dreams don’t die. They live on through those who refuse to surrender.
