My New Life

chapter 24

Kabir's point of view

Months passed by and the symptoms were making it obvious that I needed a transplant. Dad has asked everyone he could to find a donor for me. from the day I got to know about me, dad and shine has stopped discussing these things Infront of me. I also never asked them regarding these matters, just told them not to involve or inform Adi about this.

It was becoming hard for me to hid this from Adi. Sometimes I try to avoid his calls or make shine answer them giving him reasons of me not being around. I was becoming weak because of which i never answered his video calls and on phone calls i tried to remain calm and talked like everything was normal here. I knew if he gets to know he will leave everything for me and will make his way back here. That was not an option.

Someday he would get to know that but that day is not now.

I was in my thoughts when dad called "Kabir where are you?"

"I am at the bookstore dad."

"I told you to rest Kabir."

"I know that but I wanted to go out. I told shine though."

"Come home I need to talk." He said and cut.

Whenever I miss Adi i usually go to his favourite places or eat his favourite cake.

This time it was a bookstore I went to. I made my way back when i crossed the cake shop where we used to spend our days on a same table. That table was occupied today. The person was eating cake alone. It felt like that person was Adi. I reminded myself, i am missing him so much that every person was appearing Adi to me.

I reached back home

"What was it?"

"We have a donor for you." Dad said

I digested what he said but couldn't believe.

"What? Come again?"

"I knew you will be shocked. I said we have a donor."

"Who?"

"Well his family said not to reveal the identity. And doctor said to do the transplant as soon as possible."

"But why to hide from me?"

I understand that but I wanted to know Who is he?

****

I got a call from Adi saying he wanted to do a video chat with me. I told him i can't but he desperately wanted to. I changed and practiced a little if he asked something.

"Hey"

"Hi. So desperate?"

"Yeah! You can say i was missing someone."

"Okay i thought you wanted to introduce your girlfriend or something." I joked

"Hahahha....not before you buddy" He said with a laughter

"Oh, shut up. Don't even say that out. I don't know about you but I am straight."

"Ha-ha...even i am straight Kabir." He chuckled.

"So, tell me." He said in a serious tone.

"What?"

"The reason why you were ignoring me."

"I was not. Just busy here."

He looked me more intensely.

"Ok fine the matter was related to my internship so running back forth i couldn't take your calls."

"Yeah i can see that you are losing weight. Eat properly."

"Hmm..." I checked the watch and said "Adiii I have an important submission tomorrow can we...."

"Yeah yeah we can talk later only if you pick up my call. Take care i just wanted to see you properly. Don't worry everything will be kickass." He said

"Right. Everything is good and will be good as well. Bye" I said and he waved.

That message was more for me, to comfort me that everything will be good. Someday it will be true.

It will be true that here in my room me and Adi would be chilling again someday. We will be eating cake and talking about the things happened in our lives and planning our futures.
