The present

"Listen Vicky, can you please hold my hand.""Yes, please don't close your eyes Diya. I beg you.

""Shhhhh... Listen to me"

Vicky kissed her hand and held it tighter.

"I achieved everything in life. I got a understanding family, supportive Friends, a happy life and most importantly, I got a lovely boyfriend like you. I love you Vicky.

""I love you too Honey"

Diya smiled.

"You gave me everything without asking for anything in return. You always loved me like it was the end of the world. You loved me Like we're never meeting again and I'm Glad that you did it because now...

""Shut up! You daren't say a single word." Vicky said with tears rolling down his eyes. "We would reach the hospital at any moment from now. Stay strong. You can't leave me like this

"Diya wiped his tears.

"I'm never leaving you stupid. I'm neve-" she coughed up blood.Vicky was panic-stricken now. His mind was not ready to believe what his eyes were showing him. This was his worst nightmare.

"Vicky, I'm unable to see you. My eyes are blacking out", Diya said in a fading voice."NO NO NO HONEY! Keep your eyes open. Look at me" Vicky said patting her face."Hurry up doctor. Effing hurry up!", Vicky growled.

The moment the ambulance reached the hospital, Vicky sprang out pushing the stretcher to the emergency room. His shirt was stained with blood.

"I love you", Diya said. She had tears in her eyes but still managed to smile."I love you too"Vicky released her hand. He had a strange feeling that this is the last time he's seeing her.He slumped on the chair facing the Emergency room, thinking about the crazy romantic adventures they did together. Vicky took a trip down memory lane resting his head against the wall. He smiled wistfully, remembering the happy time he spent with Diya. He recalled the beautiful Night he proposed Diya. He was lost in thoughts of Diya with a crestfallen expression. He was longing for Diya- her face, her hair, her touch.
