My headache came back twice the amount and my vision blurred. To make the good bye quick I had to think of something, something that will make him quit.

"I'm still in the past, Rehan. And you better be kidding me with that. I'm not going to say it twice so listen... I have to go, so. Goodbye. Goodbye forever"

The line was silent. Only breathing sounds could be heard.

"Where are you?"

"Not again I'm-"

"Where are you?!"

"Dian residence"

The line went silent and after a minute it beeped.

"Wow so much for a quick goodbye" I snorted.

But I guess it worked. I'm already not healthy. The doctors told me not to stress too much but indeed that was all my life was about. Yeah, my life was.

I am going to die anyway. So better die alone without anyone worrying about me.

BAAM!

Okay... Is the doctor back? Yes, I have been living with my doctor, Dr. Dian.

"Where are you?"

That's not her voice. So I kept quiet but my vision blurred. My head was thrumming and all I could see was someone's blurry face before my conscious side gave out.
_________

I woke up but my movements were restricted. My breathing was laboured and I was too tired to open my eyes. I heard my doctor speaking to someone.

"Who are you?"

"Her friend"

The voice, it was not recognisable. So I opened my eyes to see a man. He stood with his back facing me. The doctor seemed to notice my presence and she smiled.

"She's awake"

The man still stood where he was while the doctor left us. It was a moment's silence. Then he spoke.

"Hey"

I furrowed my brows.

"Rehan"

My breath hitched when he turned around. He had grown to be quite handsome and his body too, it was manly now rather than his scrawny form before.

I removed my oxygen mask and smiled.

"Long time no see"

He chuckled and sat on the chair beside the table. He took my hand in his and looked at me. Tears were glistening on his cheeks. Why was he even crying?

"Same to you, idiot. Bet your life had been boring without me"

"Yeah right" I playfully rolled my eyes.

Then there was a silence and we looked at each other.

"You never told anyone? About you suffering-"

"I don't want anyone to worry about me. I would have gone without anyone by my side. But still thank you"

I squeezed his hand and chuckled.

"You idiot. What about our marriage?"

I coughed.

"You were serious?"

He nodded. He cried a little and smiled.

"I guess this was it. That's why you never called me. How long?"

"Since the day we fought. I have known since long"

His breath stuttered. His eyes teared up once again.

"It's not your fault. I was appointed to Dr. Dian for as long as I can remember. It just happened that you pushed me real good to never come back. So thank you. I got the guts to leave my parents, friends and you back in the country"

I smiled as he took my hand in between both his hands.

"This won't make me feel less guilty but I want to tell you something"

I know what he is going to say but I'm not going to stop him.

"I loved you and I still do"

He cried and smiled a little. I cried along with him.

"It's time" the doctor said and smiled sadly.

"Time to treat the tumor?" Rehan asked.

"Yes... Time to treat the tumor" I smiled and replied.

"And I love you too. If something were to happen to me during the operation, don't you dare think it was your fault"

He playfully shrugged and went away.

"You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend"

"He was never my boyfriend. It was a silent confession"

The doctor smiled.

"And you didn't tell him that you were never going to wake up again?"

I smiled.

"I can't. I want you to pass the message"

I handed her the chit to write. She did as I told and I smiled.

It was time.

I could feel my breathing laboured. I nodded at my doctor and smiled. I slept to never see the daylight ever again.

The message was passed on to Rehan who cried and wailed loudly.

The message said,

Dear Rehan,

I'm not going to ask you how you are doing or something but read it carefully. I loved you before you started bullying me. I loved you when you bullied me. I loved you when you took me to your property. I loved you even more when I was away from you. But all the good things must come to an end right?

I know this is a stupid message but I just wanted to confess properly. I loved you then and I love you even more now. But I'm not going to wake up again. So a happy goodbye to you. Maybe some other time we will be together. Just promise me you won't bully me ever again.

Yours lovingly.

Rehan cried and smiled all the while and whispered a short idiot before getting up to visit her room. There she laid lifeless with a smile. He caressed her head and cheek and kissed her forehead.

"I will always love you"

The end.
