The doctor's words ,which for him weren't believable,were haunting him.
He didn't want to believe anything,but life isn't always a beautiful garden.She had left him,all alone...But was it her fault,or was it his fault...No, maybe it was destiny's cruelest game,which had subjected him to the most difficult times.Only if she could come back.But life is full of if's and but's...but not each and everyone of them is reality...
Five hours,for the past five hours he had been sitting on the same hospital bench,when at last Sharon,his best friend,his best friend's wife, his wife's best friend and her sister-in-law ,mustered up the courage to walk upto him.Relations don't need a name,but even if they do have a name,they don't have a limit.All you need is a heart.
Coming back to reality,the curse of time,Sharon almost whispered to the lost Rey,"Atleast hold her once"
"I don't have the strenght",he replied.
Sharon tried persuading him,but no use,he didnt move.Her dam of emotions had to break.She had just seen her best friend die few hours ago.She was controlling herself just because the two most important men in her life were broken.Swayam,shattered,Rey,lost.
But she couldn't let a poor,little,innocent soul suffer...
"Come on Rey,atleast see her once .She's your own six hour old daughter god-damn it",she shouted,tears visible in her eyes.
Controlling herself she softly said,"Taani going away from us isn't the little soul's fault,Rey.Why are you punishing her,or punishing yourself?You need to see her"
"I never said that it's her fault.But everyone who's important to me,leaves me,all alone.First Mom,then Taani,now I won't be able to see her go away.Instead ,I'll never grow close to her,so that she'll never go away ."His pain could only be seen,not felt.
"Rey,you need to see her",said a broken swayam,as he dragged him to the room,where a little bundle of joy was awaiting him.
Stopping at the door Rey said,"No Swayam,I can't"
"You have to..."
The door flew open as he finally set foot in.
His mind wanted to go away,but his heart longed to see her,their daughter.
Taani had taught him that when it's about relations,let the heart win.
The gang ,who had gathered around the little princess,finding joy in her antics,as their princess,taani went away.They made way as soon as they noticed him walking in.Steps tinier than an ant,heart heavier than an elephant,so was his condition.Taani wanted Rey to have every happiness in his life.Maybe that was the reason she decided to give life to the baby in her womb,knowing that her pregnancy complications could kill her.Well,that was exactly what happened.She left everyone,the little angel had to say goodbye to her mother the second she was born.
Rey looked at her...she was completely Taani,except for her eyes,her eyes was his.He felt a sudden urge to pick her in his arms,and so did he.The sleeping angel suddenly opened her eyes,and smiled seeing the person who had picked her up.Maybe that was the first time she smiled in her six and a half hour long life.
She in his arms,left him feel in heaven,a feeling of pride,a feeling of satisfaction suddenly took over tge feeling of gloom for few moment,as he gave a weak smile.Maybe because he had found another 'reason to live'...
