        He sat on a chair beside the bed. His wife lied on the bed.
         She had been ill for almost 2 weeks now.
         Doctors say there is no chance for her. Her end is coming soon.
         The man sat on the chair ,his handsome face looked pale , his body was very weak due to sleepless nights.
         His wife lay on the bed ,eyes closed , sleeping peacefully.
         He sat there , thinking about his future ,thinking about the days he would have to spent without her, without a person to look after him.
         He took her hand ,and held it tightly, closed his eyes and prayed for her health to return.

        He heard coughs and heard people talking and rushing here and there.
        He opened his eyes and realized he had fallen asleep.
        He found his wife coughing continuously. Doctors were trying their best to save her .
         She was in a critical state.
He rushed over to her and looked into her eyes and whispered "pls don't leave me ! I cannot live without you!".
         His wife looked at him and tried to say something while coughing helplessly.
        The coughing started getting quiter. She looked at him and slowly raised her hand pointing to the table towards a folded paper.
          She started talking with little coughs in between " You must marry again! You must find someone ! *coughs* and when *coughs* and when she's ready to*coughs* ready to marry you *coughs * you must give her this note".
          She started coughing more loudly due to lack of air.
         All this time he stood there listening to all, his wife was trying to tell him.
         He kept his hand on her chest and gave small pats so she could breathe more easily.
         The doctors kept saying her to stop speaking but she continued ...coz she knew there was no time left.
          He took the note and held it tightly in one hand and his wife's hand in the other.
          "You must ...*coughs * you must never read the note! * coughs*" she continued breathing heavily .
          He looked a bit startled at those words.
          Her coughs grew louder. Doctors could see it was her end.
She coughed continuously but quietly now.
          "You must never * coughs *
never read it!!!!* coughs *she continued.
           Her voice became a wispher now. "I'll be watching you!!!" she said her last words and slowly closed her eyes.
          The man stood there not ready to accept the fact that she just passed away.
          He shook her violently and pleaded her to wake up.
         The doctors tried to stop him but to no use. They sighed .              They have experienced these scenes quite a lot.
          He walked away from the room,looking at her for a last time. He walked slowly, looking very miserable.

         He looked around. There were many people for the funeral.
         Her mother was crying bitterly , her husband was trying to console her.
        He closed his eyes and started praying . He prayed for her to rest in peace.
        He tried to recall the memories with her.
       Suddenly he remembered the flashback of her last day.
       What she had given him and said to him between her coughs.
       He quickly put his hands in his pocket to feel the note.
        He felt it and felt an urge to read it. But he remembered his wife's words and promised himself never to read it.

       It's been three weeks since the death of his wife.
        His life began to get hard. He had no one to cook for him, to greet him when he gets back home , to hear his problems .
         He felt very lonely.He began to think of getting married again as his late wife had suggested.
         He began to look for ladies who might suit him.
