Love is weakness

"Are you okay?" Raunak asked in a shaky voice. He was scared to death noticing Drishti like this. He thought maybe he lost her. Aditya informed it was her blood pressure that fluctuated.

Drishti noticed she was her bedroom room where Raunak was beside her and much to her surprise Professor Joseph was sitting beside Raunak. She was really confused for how many time she was unconscious.

"I am but...."

"Oh Professor Joseph, he came to meet you." He informed her with a faint smile. Drishti was really surprised yet happy to see him here.

"You scared us!" Joseph said in a low voice. He thought he was late to reach her.

"For how long I was unconscious?" She asked confusingly.

"Just for six hours, nothing more."

Suddenly Aditya entered with a doctor beside him. They did some routine check up and gave her sone medicines.

"What!? You guys toom the doctor here?" She asked with a frown.

"Shut up! Maybe we couldn't eat the food because it felt like having last food from your hand. But you cooked it. Why didn't you eat? You ruined a lot of foods." Rishi huffed.

"Seriously? You are still after the food? Do you still care about me?" She pouted.

"Do you care about us? You just scared us!" Dhruv smacked her head a little.

Raunak smiled at their glowing friendship. It never got old. The more he looked at them, the more he admired. They were so selfless.

Even Anand, Deep, Mitali, Manav, Avantika and Ragini was there. They all wanted to meet her. Drishti looked around carefully and found they were looking at her with question. She didn't notice them before.

"All of you are here? I'm not dead yet." She muttered in a low voice.

"Shut up!" All of them shouted in unison.

"Guys! Guys! Chill! Let grant me a permission to say something." After a long time the lawyer Bose opened his mouth. He was observing all of them with a smile. Maybe he could be the part of this gang but luck didn't favour.

"Yeah, i wanted to know why you helped us. I mean we had no connection with you. And Dadu said she never knew you. She hardly forgets faces." Raunak said with a sigh.

"We had a connection with him. But you never saw him before." Aband corrected him.

"And Dadu must not know me. She didn't even know about my existence. I was just a guest in their life. I faded with time." He wiped his tears, "By the way, my name is Jagdish Bose."

"Jagdish...." Raunak repeated it in his mind then realisations hit him hard.

Jagdish?

Dhara's boyfriend?

"You're Dhara's boyfriend!?" Raunak asked in a daze.

Aditya, Mohit, Dhruv, Rishi and Deep only heard about him. They never saw him before. All of them were dumbfounded by his words. only Anand and Drishti saw him.

"Umm...I know I've got married. I am committed now. It's not good to hold back the old. But I can't. I mean my wife is a lovely girl and I care for her, I respect her and falling for her too. But somewhere inside me Dhara is still alive. I can't just forget her." He took some deep breath, "I can never forget her and I know that. But I just can't let her commit suicide like that. I wanted to punish those bastards who.....whatever. All the time I wanted to avenge her. But you know it was hard for me."

"Jagdish. You got married You are a man with family. I'm not telling you to forget Dhara but give all of your love to your wife. I bet Dhara will be happy." Drishti said in a shaky voice. Maybe he loved Dhara before. But he couldn't just wrong his married wife.

"I know. I am trying everyday and I know I can do it. But I just wanted to punish those who were behind all these. We saw a dream together but they never let it come true. I left corporate life and studied law, then I became a criminal lawyer just to find them. Then I collected those proofs for years. I am not holding onto Dhara anymore, but I promised to punish them anyhow. I don't know I will be a lawyer anymore or not, but I just completed my job." He smiled at them.

"Jagdish. Now I understand why Mayank and Drishti were fond of you. You really loved her." Raunak sighed. They could only sigh.

"Jagdish, will you keep a request of mine? Love Dhara as you did. But love you wife more. Please. Don't give her the punishment of Dhara's death. Keep Dhara was a part of your life now as you whole existence. That should be your wife. But practice law. It will always make you remember of her. A little memory won't hurt. Bring justice for those girls life Dhara, help the helpless." Anand took a deep breath. That's what he wanted to say to him all the time, "I told you before. Love is another name of weakness. But you need to overcome it. I know it's hard for you. But love your wife as if she means everything for you. Never let her complain about your first love, let her love Dhara too. Just remember one thing, if you hurt your wife, Dhara won't be happy."

"I will try bhai, I surely will." He nodded with tears in his eyes. He would never let Dhara complain about it.

Drishti was happy. She had her whole family here, at least those whom she considered as a family. Her pain was increasing every moment which she couldn't ignore anymore.

Professor Joseph observed her carefully, "Drishti, did it get worse?"

She could only nod. Her habds fisted on Raunak's shirt tightly. Raunak started to pat her head. He was breaking inside. The fear he felt at night suddenly hovered over him again, this time it was more stronger.

"Drishti, keep breathing. I contacted with a doctor for you. We will take you for surgery." Professor Joseph came all the way for her. He can't just let everything finish like this.

"Who is that doctor?" Though Drishti couldn't breath stably, she asked out if curiosity.

"My wife." He said with a faint smile. Her condition was giving him tension.

"You never said you had a doctor wife." She complained.

"I never said I have a wife." He gritted his teeth and dialled a number.

Drishti couldn't make it anymore. Blood started to come out from her nose, she was spliting blood from her mouth. She was falling ill. Mitali could only shut Ragini's eyes with her hands. All of them stood there frozen.

The operation just completed. Joseph knew Drishti couldn't fly with that condition. So he asked his wife to come to India with him. She made the operation with all risk. Raunak was informed, Drishti might die. If they could save her it would be a miracle. But never it was possible as the medical science said.

Raunak curiously looked at the doctor. His eyes had expectation which surely died looking at her eyes.

"How's Drishti?"

She could only shook her head in negative.

Silence.

Fear.

Pain.

All of the things were killing him..He felt he list himself.

"Mr. Sen, she's in coma. But she's alive yet."

Raunak couldn't be more happy. But why her expressions were that fearful.

"But maybe she can never wake up from it. We will continue our medication. Let's just pray."

Raunak collapsed there. That shouldn't have happened.

A/N: I didn't kill her, okay? Don't get angry with me.
