I shouldn't be here. I should be with her. But a huge a part of me knew what she'll ask once she wakes up. I've known her this much.

I stared at the surroundings that are looking damp and wet with all the rain that has been pouring down for 3 days. Ahead of me is the small house where I last saw my aishani with consciousness. My eyes twitch like they did in my childhood. The day I lost my daadu. My grandfather. But i move forward.

I knock on the door and wait for it to get open. A few minutes pass by or it's just me who thinks a few minutes passed by because I'm unable to wait? I raised my hand to knock again and before i could do that the door got opened by Mrs. Williamson. She looked like a woman that was starving and didn't got a wink of sleep.

She was in the same clothes that i last saw her. A week ago.

It's been a week since I saw her brown eyes which i started finding my comfort in.

"Please come in" Mrs. Williamson says bringing me out of my thoughts. I follow her. The flash backs started coming in. Me following my aisha as i state at the small living room. This was where she got silent heart attack? I gulp down the bitter taste of my saliva.

"How's she?" I heard Mrs. Williamson question.

"The same since the last time you saw her" my voice comes out as a whisper.

"I'm sorry. I didn't wanted her to end up like that. That was the main reason-" Mrs. Williamson start.

But i cut her off saying "Save the explanations for my wife. I'm here to know more about the accident. So tell me about it. What exactly happened that night?"

"Why do you want to know?" She questions instead of answering me.

"Because my wife's not gonna sit calm and the first thing she'll do after getting well is to know in detail about the accident" i replied nonchalantly.

"That day, he told me in secret that he's planning to go to India for her. He said he was gonna propose her and bring her back as my daughter in law. He was so happy. I found that glint in his eyes after so long that I prayed for it not to get snatched away" Mrs. Williamson starts.

I first my hands tightly as i continue to hear her talk.

"But I got a call and saying that he was dead and i rushed to the hospital. I remember seeing his bod-.. seeing him covered with a white cloth and his face looked unrecognisable with all the bruises. I got to know that he was walking  I'm the middle of the road when the signal was shown green and the car-" she gagged as tears spilled her eyes.

I got up and went into the small kitchen. Just like she did when we first came here. I saw myself sitting in the empty space of couch that I was a few seconds before. I saw aishani signalling me to not make a sound. I saw her going in the bedroom.

Something flashed at the back of my mind. She started behaving differently after she came back from that room. She started cursing her ex. Now that i remember clearly,.... Was that pain? In her eyes after she came out from that room?

What the hell was there in that room ?

A sob breaks out making my gaze shift from the empty white painted wall infront of me to Mrs. Williamson. I couldn't see her face clearly as her back was facing me. I remember why i came here and pour some water in a glass and handed it to her.

She took a sip of it and I sat down waiting for her to continue.

"And..the car collided with him. He... My s-son.. i was told that he first got hit by a pole and then he fell down and.. ".
