If I Could Fly ~ Mishbir(OS)

For When You're Lonely

It was raining. The clouds colliding with each other forming lightnings and roars.

Mishti lay on her hospital bed with abir by her side. She knew it was today. It was inevitable. This day had to come and it finally did.

Closing her eyes she looked back at all the good memories they had together. Their first date. Their proposal. Their bus ki chat wali wedding. Their stargazing by the lakeside. Mishti's dream of getting pregnant. Sadly a dream.

She lifted her eyes to glance at abir. He looked exhausted. From everything. She wasn't fighting this battle alone. He was too. Maybe he wasn't the one who was diagnosed, but he stayed for her. Fought with her. His eyes had dark circles indicating the endless sleepless nights he had. The glow on his face was no more. A mere smile formed on mishtis face. She was happy to have abir by her side. She loved him so much and was thankful for him. Abir hadn't eaten anything for days and only drank water.

Time was ticking on her clock. It was coming near. Kunal entered the hospital room to check up on them when mishti asked him to start recording and leave the room. He did as he was told.

"Abir". She started saying with a hoarse voice. "Hmm bolo mishti" he knew it was time too. "I know I've said this too many times but I'll forever and always be thankful for what you've done to me. You made me smile at my worst. Fought this hard and long battle with me." She wanted to say more but she broke down. She couldn't. And so did he. He cupped her face And wiped her tears. He kissed her hand and a small smile formed on his face. They hugged each other never wanting to let go. Soon after they had to break it. Abir kept holding mishtis hand.

"Abir, I wrote a shayari for you." Abir smiled. His angry chorni always made him smile even at his worst. "Sunao." He said his voice almost cracking as he choked on his tears.

"Zindagi ne jitne hum ghum diye
Mil Kar Humne unhe Saha hai
Wada Kar mujhse mere saathi
Zindagi jeena khulkar
Kyunke humein Kal ka Kya pata hai?"

"I promise you mishti. I'll live only and only for you. I love you." "Your angry chorni loves you too. Always and forever." "Always and forever." They say together. Holding hands while crying as mishtis heartbeat hits zero. It was finally time to let her go. Forever.

He looked at her lying still. Motionless and cold. "Why?" Was the only thing which left his mouth before he broke down and started sobbing uncontrollably.

Kunal and the rest of the family enters as they see mishti lying lifeless on the bed. Everyone knew this would happen. They were prepared still it hurted them the most. Why mishti?

Badi maa bade papa and entire maheshwaris and rajvansh couldn't stop crying.

3 Months later:

Dear mishti.

I hope you're okay up there watching us. It was hard for you but now you're happy. You're smiling haina? Mein apni angri chorni ko aise upset nahn dekh sakta.
I miss you. Words cant describe how much I do. The day you left us everything changed. Nidhi maami didn't crack her jokes since then. Ketki has stopped taking selfies and being her happy and carefree self. Maa sits in front of our mandir with parul maasi everyday and remembers you and prays for your soul. She plays sitar in your tribute. Mamu isn't his own self. Nanu? Well he left for yatra the day after we buried you. Kuhu has stopped fashion and joined the NGO. Kunal has improved and regrets for misbehaving with you just like kuhu does. Badi maa and bade papa are devastated. They haven't smiled since you left. Even for once. Jasmeet Chachi went to London with nannu. It was hard on him as well. Everyone misses you too much mishti. I just want to ask God why? Why did he take away you from us? Why did he take you away from me?? Wasn't I ever enough? I have stopped doing shayari since the day you left. I stopped laughing or smiling. The only thing that makes me happy is you.  Remember you told Kunal to record our last convo? I listen to it every single day before sleeping.

I miss you Mishti. Your voice. Your smile. You the most. You fought long and hard for me for yourself. But I guess it wasn't enough. I wasn't enough. I regret leaving you and breaking up with you that day. Hell I caused you 2 months of trauma. I regret every single mistake I did. Every single tear I caused you. But I'm happy because I made you smile too. I hope you're smiling up there and missing me because I do too. So so much. I'll never stop loving you mishti. You were and are my always and forever.

Yours always and forever
Abir.
