Recap:

Priya saw Siddharth and smiled whereas looking at Priya's condition Siddharth had tears in his eyes...

Back to the story...

Sid: Priya...

He merely whispered...He went towards her with small steps...His nose was red, eyes puffy and somewhere a bit of guilt too was visible on his face...She cupped his face and said....

Pri: I...I..was waiting for...you only...

She wasn't able to speak due to the pain she had...

Sid: Priya...I am...

Pri: Sshhh...Just sit down near me....

Siddharth took the stool kept there with trembling hands, placed it beside the bed and sat on it...Priya held Siddharth's hand is her's and said...

Pri: That's it...I only want this...Now it will be easy for me to die... Having you beside me....

She said with a slight smile.... Siddharth vigorously nodded in denial..

Sid; No...you won't....Abhi toh we have to do many things together... Celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary...You have to be a successful interior designer and Aarav, he...he needs you... He needs his mother...He needs your love...

He said with eyes glistening as they had water which reflected fear, sorrow , guilt and many more feelings...

Pri: Sid...You have to be...be his mother and father both now and about my dreams, I know my love will complete all of them which I couldn't...And are you fine jaan??

She said stammering a bit and at teh same time being concerned for him....And that's it the last line was enough to deluge Siddharth in the ocean of guilt...He also was partially responsible for her this condition...The tears of grieve became unstoppable now...

Pri: Plz... Siddharth don't cry...I... don't want to be sad in the last moments of my life...

She said with a pout....

Sid: Plz...don't say that...You have to stay with me forever...

He said wiping his tears...

Pri: Leave all that...I wanna sleep for now...Do just one thing caress my hairs...It feels heaven when you do it...

She said still carrying her smile... Siddharth started carresing her hairs.. She closed her eyes and he was staring her angelic face... Maybe for the last time...

It was 15 minutes now, Siddharth was lost in her...But soon he realised that there was no movement, he looked at the screen which displayed heart rate and it just had a single line...The line that parted them forever...The line that sent an angel back to heaven and left her prince desolated...

Siddharth felt himself deprived of any sensations for a moment...He ran to the doctor's cabin...The doctor came and checked on her, but seems like it was god's wish to see these two souls apart forever...
