RAIN

Is he alive or he is dead already?. He did not come to eat the rest of the meals since morning. All I told him was to either make it himself or starve. Hold on he just did not take my words seriously. He could have made it himself but he chose to starve. What in the storm was wrong with this man!. I walked over to his room but when I reached the entrance it was freezing cold. What was happening, I pushed the door and halted my steps to see the scene infront of me. Payu on the bed almost passed out. The temperature was really low.
The bedsheets were neatly folded and Payu's body over them. I rushed to him shaking him but he did not respond. I quickly rushed to search for the remote of the air conditioning, switching it off and then calling the hospital. This got me worried.  It looked like rather then enjoying I was feeling scared, scared of losing Payu. I did not know what to do as I sat near him trying to give him the maximum heat. Unknowingly I was crying because as I said I was hurt and afraid at the thought of losing Payu.

An hour later .........

AUTHOR

The doctor had already checked Payu. He told Rain that if he had to call in even a minute late he would have lost Payu forever. The doctor also told him that he's body gave out due to exhaustion and hunger. Rain just stood there with tears, listening to each and every word the doctor said. The doctor had requested Rain to feed him rice porridge and vegetable soup. Rain agreed on making the dishes for Payu once the doctor left. He made sure he had the right amount of ingredients. He blaming himself made the dishes sobbing softly.

PAYU

My eyes fluttered open and I felt myself warm. I don't remember how I passed out but I also looked around to see if Rain had come to check on me. Guess he really did not. But wait I remember turning the air conditioning to the lowest temperature and laying without a bedsheet. Maybe he came or it was my illusion. I was confused but the thought gave me a headache so I closed my eyes and tried to sleep again but a sound made me aware that someone was in my room. I remained sleeping and began wondering who would it be not untill I felt the presence next to me . That scent it's Rain's. Gotta be Rain I was internally screaming like a high school girl. But.....

RAIN: you can't stop being stubborn can you? You are so dolorous to get my attention.

His voice continued.

RAIN: why are you hurting yourself and taking the insults I throw at you? Why can't you just shout at me and tell me that's enough?

At this point his sobs could be heard. I couldn't listen to his sobs anymore and I touched his hand. It took him a moment to realise what had actually happened not until he blew again on me.

RAIN: you were acting weren't you? You like seeing me hurt don't you? It was my fault that I said yes to Saifah and came along with him. I shouldn't have done that. I was living my life in peace not untill I was dragged back.

He was crying on my shoulder now.

PAYU: do you want to stay without me forever? Say it once and I'll make sure you'll never have to see my face again.
RAIN: you think so you heartless asshole, if you love me that much you shouldnt be planning on giving up.
PAYU: do you want a new start?
RAIN: yes you dumb jerk.

What should I say? This is the most happiest day of my life ? Or was it a moment's happiness that would end soon?
