Deal To Love

Her Diary

KESHAV's POV

The man suddenly disappeared from there. Instead I saw a peacock feather lying down.I have seen in films where God come in a disguise and advice and suddenly disappear but in my case the door was opened. He was taller than me it's possible to walk so fast with those long legs. However i rushed inside the room when I heard Rai coughing. I gave her water.
“See.. I said don't play that much with water but who cares... !” I scolded her. The cough increased.  She wasn't able to breathe properly. Terror started to attack me. “Take long breathes...” Though her cough stopped for a while but her breathes were not even.
“Aai, Baba!” I shouted and called them. Immediately they came and called ambulance while I was rubbing her palms to keep her warm as her body temperature was going down.

As soon as we reached the hospital, the ward boys made her lay on the strecher. Her eyes started to close after I was pulled by aai. She was soon taken inside the emergency observation room.
Her melodious vocals started to echo in my surroundings singing
“Wafadaari ki woh rasmein..
Nibhayenge hum tum kasmein
Ek hi saans zindagi ki
Jab tak ho apne bas mein...
Jab koi baat bigad jaayen
Jab koi mushkil par jaayen..
Tum dena saath mera
O humnava..”
Her aura, her scent, her beautiful eyes, her warm touch and her beautiful smile... I was already missing her. As I'm human I was just wondering how could I live if something bad happens..
“Keshav?” I heard Ajji calling me.
“Hmmm..” I wiped my tears. “Have faith son... Everything will be alright.”

I hummed in response.
“Mr Keshav?” the doctor came and grabbed my attention.
“Yes doctor?” “Look.. the scenario is very complicated. As we have already alerted you for the consequences. But still be positive..”

“Be positive? How could I doctor? You are telling me be positive.. and at the same you are telling me the negative. How could I ?” I asked her blankly.

“I'm really sorry Mr Keshav but her life isn't on my hands.. Yes you are right I shouldn't give you false hopes but af the same time I can't say that until her inner strength is fighting she is alive and everything will be over within just hours. Her pulse rate is decreasing. Her body temperature is just getting down. I can understand your emotions.. But only miracle can happen.” She said while walking to the icu.
Here Aai fell ill hearing the doctor.
“Aai- Baba- Ajji.. aap teeno ko abhi ghar jaakar Shraddha aur Uma ko dekhna chahiye.. Aap teeno yaha rehke apna sehat ka barah baja denge.. Chaliye main apko pohochaa deta hoon...” As soon as I finished, the three agreed. “ Beta.. tu kuch mat soch. Doctor ne last mein yeh bhi toh kaha ki miracle ho sakta hain? Toh miracle hi sahi.. I trust my love for her..  meri mamta use bacha legi beta tu chinta na kar.. hum jaa rahe hain Uma aur Shraddha ke paas. Par tu bhi aa ja. 10 minutes ke liye.”

After we went to palace my legs weakened as I saw our room. I touched her study table where she use to write her things. I never looked at them. My eyes then spotted the brown diary. I think she wrote today's date.
As I opened the diary. Her words became her voice. As I turned the pages, my eyes stucked at the particular page.  It was dated 13th March.

13th March, 12:00 a.m.
Dear Diary,
Yes I finished my studies and now as per routine I'm writing my dramatical
life. If you gonna ask me how's going my life? I would surely answer ‘boring!’ but I think from today I will get rid of this boredom. Today I'm going to pickup Prince Keshav. Yes I didn't even saw him in person but I know him. Ajji always tell his stories. But the problem is will I become a friend of him? He looks somewhat egoistic in his photos.

I chuckled how she judged me egoistic. I turned the page. It was dated the same but at the night.
    

13th March. 8.p.m.
Dear Diary,
I'm writing the diary a little early today. So finally I met with Prince Keshav. I don't know why I'm feeling so shy and nervous near him. And even I was dozed off into his arms. Like it was very embarrassing for me.. He is little talkative and funny unlike me. Tomorrow is a big day for him. He is gonna become the new CEO of Singhania Industries. Finally he will be fulfilling his dreams. Let's see what's waiting for me..

I hugged the diary as now j couldn't continue to read further. I wiped my tears cause if I will cry now, I will fall weak and I should stand strong to be with her. I fetched the diary and went to the hospital. Moments flashed of times I ignored her feelings. Though she never betrayed me, but she is giving me the vibes of breakup and betrayal. Even the rain started to shower which made me feel more weak. I could not drive anymore. All my strength I gathered was over. Afterall I'm a human being too. I took a deep breath and again opened her diary. I gulped as I started to read the date.

24th January.
12:00a.m.
Dear Diary,
I didn't even think why my fate always betrays me. I was diagnosed with cancer when I was about to deliver my baby. I want to live and I have dreams. I wanted to publish you Diary, but look now you will be just a diary....and will be kept inside a almirah after I will go. Just wishing God would give me the same partner in every life.

The pain increased reading all these words. I again turned the page. Surprisingly it was dated 28th February. I  know this was the day we returned from the pilgrimage tour.

28th Feb.
8:00p.m.
Dear Diary. Though I'm dying but let's hope for best and think positive. As when Krishna said everything is possible when love is true. Radhakrishn is Love and Love is God for me. I'm I'll fated but very lucky to get the Singhania Family as my family. I will die but I know they will die too. But I never said them it was Keshav who told them. Even I want to live for Uma and Shraddha. Let's have patience until then.

My eyes kissed the stains of tears on the diary pages. I knew she would cry if she knew I got the worst  news. 
I quickly checked the time and got an update by the nurse boy that she will be having an operation after a hour. I sighed as I looked outside the rain stopped. My eyes again shifted the temple. I decided to go there to offer a prayer for her.
I kept my shoes inside the car and walked from the wet muddy road to the temple. There I saw the same boy who came today with the flower bouquet. He was playing with flute. Though he was tanned but the glow attracted me toward him.
“Arrey, Prince Keshav welcome to my home. What brought you here?” He asked.
“I don't know, but I think I need peace right now. My wife is fighting with death. I'm in a mess. ” I shared my feelings to him. He smiled and said.
“Human life is mess untill you realise it's motive..”
“Pardon?”
“Yes it's true that love can heal anything but it's also a fact that our body is mortal but the soul is immortal. Its final destination is love itself. So don't worry, everything will happen according to the time.” He smiled and ended. I looked at him.
I was continuously gazing him but didn't realised it was all an illusion when a leaf fell on my eyes.
My phone vibrated as someone called from the hospital. “Hello?” I  nervously called.

“Mr Keshav, I'm really sorry.. Please can you come here as soon as possible.”
