Its early morning.....
The light filtering from the upper window is clearing out all the darkness and destruction the night had witnessed...... And he is still numb by the idea that he had hurt her....
The one he loved....
The one who he would sacrifice everything for....
She came to him... To find him fast asleep on the couch...
Empty wine bottle and broken pieces... of wine glass still lying on the floor....
She cleared them up careful not to wake him....but her eyes damp when she witnesses bleed on his palm.....
She slowly tended to his wound and ruffled his hair..... And quietly left for her duty..... Careful not to wake him up....
He woke up and first thing he could remember.. Was to go and check on her.... Ands started sweating in panic..... Calling out her name...trying hard to find her..
" madam to office ke liye chali gayi ..... "
She had gone to work.... After leaving a note on the table..
."i know you'll make a sulky face.... But cornflakes it is today....
In case u are ready to put your lazy bum to work..... And take the effort to reheat the french toast... Its already in oven....coffee... Jay bana lega
Take care...."
The last line... Below was surely love you.... He could make it out even as it was scratched....
Tears escaped from his eyes.....as he remembered countless days she wouldn't leave without saying those words to him....
Would sometimes come back from midway.... Honking the car loudly below the apartment... Just because she forgot to give him a morning kiss....
A smile played on his lips.... On her craziness.... Which suddenly faded as events of last night came flashing as he took a painkiller.... Which orderly gave him... Despite all protests and murmurs.... Saying that madam will scold him... If he doesn't do so...
How could she be so calm.... And understanding.... He doesn't understand....
She tried to focus on work....
But all the time all she could think of was what happened.... Last night....
Her self esteem was crushed under heavy weight of his ego and anger and alcohol.... And yet again there was nothing she did about it...
She wonders what makes her deal with all his exploits silently....
Love decapacitates you.... Leaves you helpless and hollow from the inside...
And yet there's nothing you can do about it...
He sat down..... Quietly.... Not figuring how to deal with all the guilt and regret..... On his actions...
He wanted so badly to call her and apologize while she was expectantly looking at the phone..... Waiting for his call whole day.... ..... But neither of them dared to talk to the other...
. It was just a few steps to be taken..yet it felt like they have drifted apart.... Miles away.....
But how.... Till yesterday everything was. Okay....
She came back in the evening.... And he was nowhere to be seen...
"lt. Naina.... Aap ko urgently major sharma ne wapas base par brief karne ke liye kaha he....."
She recieved a call from office....
"yaa... I ll be there..."
She was about to leave... As her limbs got heavy..... And vision blurred... And she collapsed.....
. "naina...."
He shouted as he came to see her lying on the floor.... Unconscious
He immediately called the dr.
"mental aur physical exertion aur stress ki wajah se.... She was suffering from anxiety issues.... And she has fainted and currently is in a deep sleep..."
