Shadow of Darkness

As if a cryptic fate has decided the events of his life, suffering is all that Dorji endures. Life is something he loved and enjoyed in the innocent beginning, but suffering begins soon after his mother and brother passed away, rather early. At home, problems aggravate when his father remarries, though his stepmom is kind; his father can't support him financially. In the schools, his teachers single him out, and his friends ignore him. People in the town look down upon him, and the situation gets pathetic back at home. A cruel fate clings to him, making his life more miserable after marriage. He is blessed with a daughter and then a son, but Rinchen suffers a congenital disease. The hospital becomes the second home for his baby boy who undergoes as many as eight surgeries, but he never regrets. Rather, he and his better half Choki treat their son Rinchen with the greatest care. Through thick and thin, through laughter and tears, he does everything he can to keep his son alive. He wonders how long he needs to endure his prosaic life. Can he expect a day to dawn when he would smile upward and thank God for a lovelier life? Only God knows…
