‘Abhi, I love you. I can’t live without
you. Please don’t leave me.’ Shanaya said hugging me tightly and sobbing.
‘But you are the one who left me.’ I said.
‘I am really very sorry for what I did,
please forgive me and don’t ask me the reason why I did all this.’ She said
still sobbing.
‘I won’t ever ask you anything, I just want you, nothing
else.’ I said kissing her forehead.
‘You had a long journey Abhi, why don’t you
rest for a while. I will go to the shopping mall and get something to eat.’ She
said lovingly.
‘I am coming too. I don’t want to be away
from you for even a while.’
‘Ok then, come.’
I didn’t know that this visit to the mall
will redefine my views and my thoughts on love. I was watching her shop when
suddenly someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around. It was Meera.
‘Hi, Abhi...’ Meera said.
‘Hi, Meera. How are you? What are you doing
here?’
‘I work in the ‘Shalby Hospitals’ here. I
am the dean of that hospital.’ She said.
‘Oh wow, thats amazing. Anyways meet
Shanaya, my fiancee’
‘Hi, Shanaya. Nice to meet you. Abhi and I
used to study in the same college.’ She said.
‘Thats nice. Abhi never told me about you.’
Shanaya said.
‘He must have forgot. I need to leave now.
Thank you.’ She said politely and left us.
Just two days after that mall incident
where I met Meera, I received a call from Shalby hospital.
‘Mr. Abhimanyu, we have a patient named
Shanaya Patel admitted here please come over.’ The nurse from the hospital
spoke.
Within minutes I was at the reception of
Shalby hospital.
‘Patient Shanaya Patel?’
‘Bed no. 18, general ward.’ The
receptionist said after checking the data.
‘Thank you.’
I went there. Shanaya was all right except
some scratches on hands and face.
‘Baby are you all right?’ I asked
anxiously.
‘I am all right you should thank that friend
of yours whom we met at the mall remember. She saved my life. We met at the
super market and took the same cab but the car’s brakes failed. She pushed me
out of the car at right time. But before she could jump off, the car crashed in
a tree. She is in ICU. I think we should go and meet her. She is alright now,
but still I think we should thank her.’ Shanaya narrated the whole incident to
me.
‘Yes you are right. You go, I will complete
the formalities here and come.’ I said.
After sometime I was in ICU sitting beside
Meera. Shanaya was also there. I thanked her. She smiled back. And the old
memories of the days when we were together came to my mind.
‘Did she still love me? No thats not
possible that was 9 years back. She must have moved on in her life by now.’ I
thought.
After sometime we left....
