Note: This is purely a product of my imagination. I hope it doesn't hurt anyone's feelings. I just wanted to know how Abhigya would behave under such a cinematic situation.
Abhi wanted me to undergo a full body check up as I was feeling dizzy often. When we were about to go to the hospital for getting the report, he got a call from his office because some sponsor wanted to meet him immediately. He said he cannot come but I forced him to go. I told him that I will get the report and tell him if there was anything in the report. I should thank myself for doing so. How would he react if he knew that I had a brain disease and I would die soon. I had frequent headaches and felt dizzy but I didn't think of brain disease as a possibility. Initially the doctor refused to tell me and asked me to bring some one. But my persistent questions made him open up. The doctor said that it's in the final stage and I may die in few months. I was obfuscated but I begged him not to tell anyone in my family about this. He reluctantly agreed.
I went to my ma's home. I slept in her lap. Everything returned to normalcy only few weeks ago and I was going to die. I was depressed. When I woke up, it was already past 7 pm. I went to my home and pretended to sleep so that no one would ask the reason for my tears. I pretended to be asleep when he entered our room. I couldn't see his face with the thought that I can't live with him. The next day also passed like this. I was tired of crying. I was anyway going to die. My days were limited. I didn't want to waste them. I wanted to live my remaining days being happy like anything. I wanted to do the things I always wanted to do.
I started buying a lot of books. I wanted to read every book that I wished to read. I asked Abhi to teach me driving. He was reluctant at first but he started teaching me driving. The process of learning driving from him was more interesting than driving. We spent more time together. He checked whether I had fever when I woke him up in the middle of the night just to tell that I love him so much. I started playing hide and seek with Bunty and Bubbly. I would see new recipes online and tried to cook them. I gave a surprise visit to his company. He was bewildered when I denied to give him coffee if he doesn't give me a kiss. I asked Purab to come home often so that we could tease Abhi with his Fuggy and Mogambo comparison. I loved annoying Abhi.
I urged everyone in his family and my family to go on a picnic and it was a wonderful picnic. I asked him to take me on a world tour. He said he will take me after two months as he had to work for some upcoming album. I urged him that I need him to take me immediately. Being stubborn was not bad as I thought. He took me on a tour next week. I asked him to teach me swimming. When he didn't think I was serious, I just jumped inside the swimming pool. He scolded me for being childish but I enjoyed his scoldings. I haven't enjoyed this much in my life. It was like I am compensating for all those years I didn't enjoy.
Nothing is unlimited in life. My happiness too had its biggest obstacle one day. When I entered our room, he was sitting on the couch with my medical report in his hand. I asked him whether he read that and he said that he made that. I didn't understand. He made me sit on the bed and sat beside me. He told me that I was really not going to die. I stammered, "The doctor...". He said that he had requested the doctor to lie. I asked what was the need to tell such a big lie. He said that he wanted me to stop living for others. He wanted me to learn to live for myself. He said that he couldn't explain it to me until I experience it. The life I lived after knowing about my report was entirely different from what I lived before. I had changed into a different personality. I had started sleeping peacefully. I had started enjoying my life.
He knelt down beside me on the floor and started apologizing me. He said he didn't really wish to do this but he couldn't find any other way to explain me. He said he didn't want me to fear death. He kept saying sorry with tears flooding his eyes as I sat silently. I just said thank you and hugged him.
