"Mr. Maheshwari, your wife's condition is critical but not incurable. Something has impacted her, shocked her. And due to blood loss, her situation got more critical. But she can get alright yet again. Mr. Sanskar, she is being hopeless. She needs hope, faith in her life yet again. You have to be her hope. Her subconscious mind is alert. She can hear you. Her eyes are open to see, to feel but she is not supporting herself. You have to help her, encourage her not to give us. Even if she will respond a bit then it can a big help to her treatment." Sanskar remembered doctor's word standing in front of Swara's room door.
She was shifted to a separate VIP room. It was night already. The hospital corridor was silent as Sanskar came after having a long conversation with Swara's doctor. Few staffs were working.
Sanskar was disheveled totally. His tie was loosely hanging around his neck. The blazer was long forgotten somewhere he doesn't remember. His shirt were crumbled and sleeves were rolled to his forearm. His hair was messy. His eyes were tired still couldn't stop him from shedding tears.
But he has to be strong. For his love, for his Swara. Thinking this, he took a deep breath closing his eyes and wiped his tears. Composing himself, he hold the door knob and twisted it slowly and entered inside.There she was, his wife, his Swara lying on the bed with her eyes open and looking at the lifeless white ceiling. Her eyes didn't blinked for once. Her forhead was wrapped with bandage. Also, her arm was bandaged. A drip was connected to her. The monitor screen was showing her pulse rate. Her breath was also normal. The oxygen pipe was near her nose. Sanskar looked at her and goes near her. He sat beside her on the bed and then slowly took her hand in his.
"Why would you do that, Swara?" Sanskar whispered in heavy voice.
Looking at her blank eyes, his heart breaks into million pieces. All the confidence he gathered before coming inside scattered and he felt so powerless. The things were slipping away from his hands once again. But he doesn't want to lose her.
"I always knew my Swara is a strong girl. I know you might be hurt because of my ignorance but you will never try to kill yourself. Then why? Why are you doing this Swara? Why don't you want to live? Whenever I think, you are the only person who knows me more than anyone else, you prove me wrong. Do you think I will live without you? I can stay away from you Swara for a while if I try my best but a life without is a heart without its beat. I won't be able to live Swara. Don't do this to me again please!! Please wake up. I am done with it. Since last seven months, I am living a soulless life but when you made me realise that, I shouldn't let go this when my life is giving me another chance and I was about to come to you today to get us back together, you again tried to go away Swara. And,.. this time in worst way!! How should I forgive you if you will keep leaving me, keep hurting me? Why don't you understand, I can stand against this world if you are with me but without you, I am nothing? Just kill me for once!! I don't want to die every bit without you." Sanskar said as tears kept falling from his eyes.
"Don't leave me again please. Please stay with me. I will do as you say. I will never ignore you. I am happy even if I am your second priority and you care about that family. I will never get angry on you. I will never complain about anything. Please just forget everything I told you in last one month and hurt you. Let's ju.. just forget everything. I want to start a fresh just the way we were. I will do everything you say. You can give me any punishment but please don't go. I don't want to die. I want to live with you, for you, for our happy life together." Sanskar said with heavy voice.
He held her hand carefully in his both hands and kissed it requesting her to wake up for him.
"Don't lose hope of life, please. You have to live for me. I am with you, Swara. Just don't give up." Sanskar said.
