Translating a few pages from a Russian novel in Tamil-part1

Today I stumbled upon a few pages in my diary of early 1980,s where in I had taken a few lines from a Russian novel in Tamil. Six pages. The name of the novel was :A CHALLENGE TO DEATH . In what follows my translation into English of some disconnected sentences. They deal with the finer feelings of life, the sacrificial love and friendship.
When confronted with a series of turbulent times we need to act in a manly way.In our life all the events are important. The irony here is that no one is willing to wait. My dear I will not leave you and go. You do whatever you want to do. I, will not abandon you. I cannot imagine a life without you.y dear all through lifeI
 will take care of you and carry you holding your hands.
 She could not just accept the fact that her dearest man in life would not survive and found it hard to believe. She did not want to believe that her beloved one was on the death bed. She tried hard to find some consoling words to energise herself but they slipped away like fish while being washed in the water.
