Episode 4

Brenda who had fell helplessly In Love With her Therapist, had convinced herself that Franklin was the only one who could make her happy.
She had confessed her feelings to her parents and to her greatest surprise, her parents were happy that their daughter was in love.
But when they asked her if the therapist had professed his love for her, she went mute. But when she finally spoke, she said " Dad, I guess Franklin is scared, his actions and words tells me he loves me but he has not asked me out yet"

Brenda's father who wants her daughter to be happy, advised her to profess her love to Franklin instead and see his reaction, Brenda's mother wasn't in support at first but Brenda and her father were able to convince her.
"Mom, there's nothing wrong if I tell Franklin that i love him, if he doesn't love me, I will let him be" Brenda said and her mother finally supported her decision.

That day, Brenda sent a text to Franklin that reads
“I am so embarrassed to share this with you, but I have developed these romantic feelings towards you. I feel like I’m falling in love with you.”
Franklin didn't reply and Brenda felt devastated.

The next day, when Franklin arrived for his session with Brenda.
Brenda was seated on the couch in their sitting room, her wheelchair was sighted beside her, while Franklin stared at her speechlessly. Brenda's face was bright red from embarrassment. Brenda thought Franklin was going to say there was something wrong with her and that he would need to refer her to another therapist. Instead, he said
" the feeling is mutual, I love you too" Brenda was in smiles but that smile suddenly vanished when Franklin continued "Brenda, I fell helplessly In Love with you, the first time I saw you, you shouldn’t be ashamed of falling in love. In fact, I should have told you before now that I love you, but....."
"But what?, I know you love me despite my disability, or is it because I told you that I can't bear a child?" Brenda entered at once..

Franklin nodded "no" and
He looked into Brenda’s eyes and said “I’m dying babe, I have Leukemia”.
And Brenda almost had an heart attack.

Brenda was shocked beyond explanation and found it hard to believe that the man she had fallen in love with was suffering from Leukemia. Oh life is so unfair!

"Frank please tell me you're joking, please I beg you" She said with tears falling off her eyes.
"It's the truth, I don't want you to pity me, I'm happy that our path crossed and you feel the same way I feel for you, I don't want to give you false hope that's why I'm telling this, The doctor revealed that I have just six months to live and at least for the little while I still have to spend on earth. I don't want to be pitied, Brenda look at me, do I look shattered?, please stop crying, every one will die someday but I refuse to die before my death, Seeing those tears fall off your eyes breaks my heart, Brenda I love you and I want you to be happy always, I may not be able to give you all the love and support you deserve but I will show you how to appreciate life, please never take your life for granted, life is short to live in bitterness and depression" Franklin said calmly.

Brenda suddenly went mute, but when she finally spoke, she said to her therapist. " You are too calm, you are not shattered or devastated, how could you be so relaxed when you will be gone in six months? please tell me this is all a joke and that you didn't mean what you said earlier" Brenda said sobbing. Franklin walked closer to Brenda and sat very close to her.  "I'm so sorry babe, I should have told you earlier but couldn't because I wanted you to heal first,  I don't want you to start pitying me more than loving me, I don't want you to join me in counting the number of days I still have on earth, I love you and when I saw your text message yesterday, I decided to let you know that I have few days on earth,  You are the best thing that has happened to me of recent; without knowing it,  you have been my life support, you have been the reason i want to live another day. But the truth still remains that I will not be with you for too long but all I know is that you are the love of my life, I have never fallen in love with anyone before, I can't believe life gave me this opportunity to feel love, I have never fallen in love with my clients before, you are my first and my last love" He said in smiles

The more Franklin spoke, the more Brenda broke down in tears. She didn't want to accept the fact that the man she had crazily fallen in love with was going to leave her soon. It was a tough truth but Brenda wasn't ready to accept or face it! She had forgotten about her own personal problems, she had forgotten she was disabled and sterile- that she will never bear a child, She had come to realize that life is hard for everyone and she even concluded that Franklin's case was even worst.
She had wondered how he got his strength, despite his own problems, he was always calm, warm and sweet. Brenda had now understood why Franklin always said " Life was too short".

Franklin, didn't know what to say or do anymore so he hugged Brenda tightly. "Everything would be alright" he said to console her as he gently pat her back. Brenda wrapped her arms around him properly. They hugged for a while.
Just to make Brenda feel better, Franklin cancelled their therapy session.
"Ask me anything you want to know about me, tell me how you feel, talk to me as your best friend or lover, I'm no longer your therapist because you are healed, you have over come depression and I'm so proud of you" Franklin added
"Let's get married!" Brenda entered calmly and Franklin was shocked.
