'Love is that feeling in which you can be both selfish and selfless... It's up to you, what you choose to be...'
These lines reverberated in her mind even after closing the book. She lied on her back, staring at the ceiling fan. The sinking feeling in her heart would not go, no matter how hard she tried. A lone tear escaped her eye.
Riya closed her eye only to find two black orbs staring her intently. A smile crept on her sad face, blooming wider as his face materialized in front of her closed eyes. His perfect set jaw, twinkling eyes, an eyebrow cocked questioningly at her as if asking here the reason for her being sad. His lips twitched at corners, forming his sexy smirk. She fell in love with him all over again... She opened her eyes and took his photo on night stand. She caressed his face, tears streamed down her face.
It had hurt her lot to see him battered, his tanned skin without its glow, eyes sunken in their sockets, lying limp on hospital bed.
He did not respond to her when she said all those loving words to him, he did not old her back when she held his hand lovingly.
She did love him unconditionally. Didn't she? Than why did he not respond to her words, her loving touch?! Had she not clutched his hand close to her heart, asking him to hear hers and come back to her? Then why???
She vividly recalled the day he was wheeled to Operation Theatre, him on stretcher covered in his own blood...
She waited outside Operation Theatre for just one assurance from doctors that he was safe, he would be back to her.
After hours of wait the news she received sucked life out of her.
"ma'am, we have done our best, but... there is no chance of him living, at least not without life support. He is completely in coma. And we would suggest that... that you let him go.."
Her Arjun would not wake up... riya had ran from there, unable to see him in that condition, unable to let him go, for she loved him...
Riya wiped the tears that fell on his photograph with her fears. Her gaze was held by the twinkling diamond on her left ring finger. It was a gift from him on Valentine's Day, not many months ago, promising never to leave her alone. Never to let tears out of her eyes, to keep her happy.
Yet today, he was the cause for her present tears, for he broke his promise.
She sobbed hard living those memories with him. shrill of phone brought her out of her thoughts.
"Hello, This is ACP.Riya Raute. May I know who is this?" her voice was hoarse due to crying.
"sorry to disturb you ma'am, Mr. Raute is out of coma. It's a miracle. He is asking for you. Can you make it to hospital?"
Her joy knew no bound.
"YES!!!! I will be there... I am coming..."
She could not believe what she heard.
She hung up the phone and ran to change. She was going to meet him after almost 5 months, going to hear him and not just see his limp, unresponsive form.
She was about to leave the room when her eyes fell on the book she was reading earlier.
"I had faith on our love, on him that he will be back to me... for once I chose to be selfish, to not let him go... and my love got him back..."
.
She was off to meet her love, her Arjun, who happened to be her life..
