"There will be no divorce, ever. So think before you say yes." His view fixated on her.
"I've already said yes." Her voice and eyes were dim, too much for anyone to not notice.
"I'm a cruel man so don't you dare humiliate me if you get cold feet and...

"Leaving?" Rehaan's heart began beating arrhythmically.
"Yes." The small voice from her was unbothered by Rehaan's condition as she continued filling her suitcase.
"Why?" His throat was constricted.
"Ammi ji called and—"
"Shahwar." His heart had stopped, he was suddenly not feeling well at all. She was going to her father's house. She was leaving him for good. She didn't want him in her life no matter what.
"Yeah?" She looked up at Rehaan who was on the bed, his face had tears streaming down and he was trying hard to breathe, "Rehaan!"
She dropped the things from her hands and ran to him, "Kya hua? Kya hua apko?" She tried to soothe his back with her small hands but he wasn't really gaining stability.
"Shahwar." He breathed her name out and pushed his back to the headboard of the bed then rested his head against it trying to inhale with his eyes closed as his tears continued to flow.
Meanwhile his wife was in terror looking at his state, "Rehaan, what's wrong? Let's go to the doctor." She kept on rubbing his shoulders with both her hands and then turned around to get her purse but he held her hand.
"Don't go. Don't leave me. Please Shahwar." His voice broke as he spoke.
"I'm coming back, just wait." She touched his face but he shook his head.
"Please." He closed his eyes again, his panic attack had been triggered now.
"Okay, okay." She sat down in front of him taking his face in hands, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm here." She was in fact getting more worried now that she couldn't get a doctor to see him, Meher was in her room so she decided to take her phone to call her but Rehaan rested his face on her chest and held her tightly. "It's scaring me, please Rehaan, can we go to the hospital?"
"I'm fine. It'll be over soon. Don't go." His chest was hurting immensely but holding her was bringing him peace to cope with.
"What is happening to you?" She sobbed, she'd never seen her husband ever in such a condition, he was always a healthy man.
"Nothing." His breathing was getting better but his head was now becoming heavier.
"I can't see you like this please Rehaan, at least let me get some water for you." She ran her fingers through his hair gently.
"I'll die if you leave me." He wanted his tears to stop now, it was a completely vulnerable moment and he had never wanted Shahwar to see him like that.
"Be quiet. I won't leave you, I can't live without you, please." She kissed the back of his head and then wiped his face with her fingers.
"Then why are you packing your clothes?" Shahwar looked at him with a shocked expression.
