Sitting outside doctors office on a bench holding hands of each other tight, hoping it better be something good.something like a miracle
The nurse comes out of the office.
Nurse: Mr. and Mrs. Shaikh??
They stood
Nurse:Dr.Anderson is waiting for u.
The nurse smiles at them n they walk into his office as fast as possible
Dr.Anderson:goodmorning Mr.shaikh. How are you feeling this morning?
Kassim:scared ofcorse,but really want to know what does my report say. We both are hoping for the best.
He smiles looking at his wife and holds her hand hoping it would be lucky for him
And they look at Dr.Anderson
Dr.Anderson:I'm sorry Mr.shaikh,it's not a good news. U have lung cancer. Last stage. I'm so sorry Mr.shaikh
The earth below them shook
Kassim looks at her and a drop of tear runs down his cheek
Zina is all shaken and confused and shocked
Zina:there must be something we can do. We have money, lots of them,please save him doctor.
Dr.Anderson:we can save him but it's a 90-10 chance.
Zina:What is it?
Dr.Anderson: he has to get admitted today it's self and we will start with chemotherapy. It is gonna be painful, but he has to be regular
Kassim:can we go home now doctor?
Zina:what are u saying???!!!
Kassim:please doctor can I go home and come back with a decision? Please!! doctor please!!!
Kassim in tears and joining hands in front of Dr.Anderson, standing there and Zina in tears sitting and holding his arm
Dr.Anderson:sure.
Kassim:thank you doctor.
Kassim walks out of the office as fast as he could and Zina take his report from Dr.Anderson
The entire journey home they don't talk to each other. Just sadness on their face. A newly married couple who had a relationship before marriage of 5 years had never expected this.
The entire journey home, kassim sang a hindi song. He is a beautiful singer but today his voice dint sound like his
They finally reach home. Kassim goes and sleeps on his bed. Face towards his pillow and shouts as loud as possible
Zina goes to him and rubs his back and in tears tries to talk to him
Zina:hun. Don't... Don't... Look at me.. Baby please...
Kassim:y me zina? Why me?
I never smoked never drank. All my friends do it. I felt like smoking once but I never in my life did all this still he had to punish me? (god)
Zina:I know u are pissed. But u can still be cured. Hunny I'm scared too,but we have to do this and u will be ok. So just do that chemo
Then kassim sits up next to zina
Kassim:I'm not doing this chemo
Zina:what?
Kassim:I'm not doing it.iv made a decision and I'm not going to do that chemo
Zina stands. Looks at him and slaps him
Zina:how dare u? It's not ur decision only. Kassim I want u. I need u with me for ever. Baby please do it..
she hugs him tight. And cries and says "don't" in a whispered voice again and again.
Kassim:dint u hear anderson? He said it's a 90% chance
Baby if I take that chemo you will see me in the worst form. You will be sad and frustrated and crying all day long
Do u think I want that?
See u cry? Ur face all sad?
NEVER!! I rather live all my life that I have left with you then to go for that chemotherapy
Zina:I love u...
Kassim:more then you
They smile at each other and kissed and hugged and made love like they never would ever do it again
Zina then asked kassim with a smile while still in bed
Zina:do u remember the day we met?
