You're The Only Thing I Want. (✔)

17. His dilemma.

"Yes Dr. Bose, just tell him that he's never going to die!"

"Dr. Arun told you right?" She asked angrily.

"Yes he did, and what's wrong with this idea? Mr. Dixit can live happily just because of this lie!" He insists standing up and turning his back towards her.

"Dr. Arun is a fresher, so this type of childishness is acceptable from him. But Dr. Singh you can't talk so immature!!" Sonakshi was surprised at Dr. Singh's words.

"Dr. Bose, I know it's hard time for you..... But this lie can give him some life!"

"But this isn't right Dr. Singh" she says holding unconscious Dev's hands, tightly.

"Being an doctor, it's our duty to save lives! And he trusts you a lot...."

"Exactly! He trusts me a lot.... And you want me to lie him when he's at his last stage of life?" she cries. "And Dr. Singh, this lie cannot change the truth! And the truth is that after five months...." her sobs interrupts.
"Well there's still 10% chance of his survival..... We can do those treatments! And if he has a hope of survival, he'll definitely cooperate!" He makes her understand.

"I don't know Dr. Singh, I don't know" she cries leaving his hand and stands up. "I just want my Dev to be happy and healthy".

After a while,

Dev mumbles something and this jerks Sona from her sleep and finds herself sleeping on Dev's chest.

"....They...they've........forgotten....me" He murmurs impatiently moving his head and squeezing his eyes.

"Sshhhh Dev" she caresses his hair. "Get up come on.... It's 6 of morning" she whispers softly.

"I..........I.....need.....to......die" He murmurs.

Her eyes were teary at his words.

"Dev no.... Please stop...." she kisses his forehead. He calms a bit. And she pats his forehead.

"I'm here...." she kisses his cheeks. He slowly opens his eyes and finds her right beside him.

"Good morning" she kisses his forehead.

He smiles weakly.

"Sona..... How much time is left for me to die?" He was so straight forward at the moment when she gets teary eyed all sudden. "Stop talking nonsense" she scolds.

He smiles and she hugs him. "I love you Dev, I love you" she whispers. He just pats her back to console her.

After a while,

Sona enters in the room with breakfast tray in her hand. And the thing surprised her was he, laying on floor, with a bleeding wrist. "Devvv" she throws the tray on table and holds him stand up.

He wasn't unconscious. She tore a piece of her dupatta and tied it up around his wrist.

"What do you think you were about to?" she yells slapping him hard. He keeps looking at her, weakly. "Kill me Sonakshi...." He begged joining his hands. "Dev" she grabs his collar while gritting her teeth. "Don't forget that I'm also there, with you" she yelled. "You think that ending your life is the solution of everything?" she scolds with an another slap. "And you think I'm a fool!! Am I a fool to bark that I'm with you?" she asks shaking his shoulder. He doesn't looks in her eyes. His head was hung low.

"Dev I'm here.... Always with you... Did you understand that" she scolds cupping his cheeks.

"Sonakshi I'm..." He murmures crying. "I'm tired of this life" He squeezes his eyes and tears flows down his cheeks. "I'm so helpless..... Media, business world, and even my family has forgotten me" He cries. "My sister is destroying her life..... And I'm just.... Watching everything like numb" He cries harder.
