Meerab you stumped me with the 'note' before chapter 7😆! I had logged in with an intention of reading the update and then giving you a persuasive lecture on 'why not the sad ending' after finally having complted reading the novel.The book is just beautiful and drilled me that I still ache...its jsut hard for me to get over it as I finished reading just 2 days before and I will beg your pardon but I will take lil more time to read the chapters! I need to get my head cleared...getting lil pessimistic trying to ignore the brighter side of teh story..that was true love! Ofc no issues with you giving two ending...verry thankful for that!🤗 This story has become even close too me...I m desperate to read it once again konwing that I m going to be🥺

Part 9

They both were crying when avdhoot came...he knew that his daughter's secret was out...

With wet eyes he went to them and placed his hands on their head to bless them...they both looked at him and hugged him tight...

He tightly took them in his embrace...feeling so helpless against the will of God...

Astha was not in a state to face shlok anymore...she rushed to her room...crying bitterly...

Shlok wanted to go behind him...but avdhoot stopped him saying ...let her cry all the pain she is hiding since months...i knew that she will not talk to either of us now...so better leave her alone for sometime...

Shlok turned to him and asked...
Shlok:She had leukemia why you didn't tell me uncle...he questioned him trying to wipe out his tears...

Tears were also rolling down avdhoot's face...I am sorry beta...for my astha I behaved so selfish...you must be thinking that how shameless man I am..but I was so helpless...I should have told you but...seeing her happy I don't dared to ruin the last few days of her life...please forgive me shlok for what I did to you...he slowly made his way to the ground...crying badly... folding hands to him apologizing for his selfishness...and at the same time requesting him not to hurt her daughter...and to tolerate her for few more days...

Shlok cupped his hands and took him into a hug...

Shlok:Don't say like this uncle...you are like a father to me...I can understand your pain...you have no need to apologize...and don't think that I will leave her because she is sick...no never...I love her sooo much then how could I do this ... believe me I will not let anything happen to her...she will be fine soon...like before...

He went on consoling avdhoot while controlling his own tears...

But avdhoot said crying continously that she has left with very little time hardly six months or even less than this...doctor's have refused as her disease is not responding to treatments...

Shlok:But she was fine few weeks back then suddenly how????...

Avdhoot:Yes she was fine before but since last few weeks she started feeling the symptoms..the effects of the disease...this is the way this disease progresses...

Shlok's head was still spinning on the revealations one after the other...
He tried to meet astha for once but she refused to open the door...as that time she was busy facing the emotional tornado arising in her heart...

Shlok didn't slept that whole night...his eyes were still swollen because of constant crying...
Astha is dying ...even the thought was killing him...

He went from shock to denial to sadness to anger and back again, all night... wishing it not to be true but it was very much real...he had to admit it...that his astha was sick...infact very very very sick...

All the past memories...all the time they spent together was circling in his mind...

And then suddenly something came to his mind and at 2:00am he drove to his father's home...

Niranjan was sleeping peacefully when shlok's sudden bombardment at the entrance door disturbed his sleep...

He ordered the servants to open the door...

Shlok rushed to his father...

Niranjan:Is everything alright beta...he questioned seeing his swollen and red eyes...

Shlok:After mom's death I thought that I will never ask anything from you baba but today I am helpless...I need your help...

Niranjan hugged him seeing his condition...what you need ...tell me what happened...

Shlok narrated him all what happened to his astha ...and asked him to help him in getting her treated by best doctors...

Niranjan assured him that he will do everything possible for astha as he also felt bad for the girl whom his son loves sooo much ...

Next day when shlok went to her house ...she was busy in painting... quite normally...like nothing happened yesterday...maybe because she was facing the disease since last eight months...and what happened last day was because of the feeling that she was cheating shlok but now when she told him everything...she was feeling much lighter...waiting for his decision with courage...

He came and sat on the table on her side all with a disturbed and sad expression...and whispered her name...astha...

She suddenly realized him sitting there...big tears filled her eyes...

His eyes were also wet...he made her to sit with him...and softly wiped out her tears...and asked her reluctantly...

Shlok:Are you scared and the next word stuck in his mouth...

Astha:To death...this is what you wanted to ask me...

He lowered his face in sadness...

Astha:Just relax shlok...don't be so sad...she tried to show herself normal...and not affected...

Shlok looked into her eyes with sooo much pain...its something not funny astha...

And this time she failed to control her tears...Yes I am scared of not being with you shlok...she said holing his hand to her lips...

Shlok felt a deep pain inside him...no that will never happen astha...i will always be here for you...he said taking her into a tight hug...

After she became a bit normal in his arms...she told him everything what was bothering her for the last few weeks...she told him that she didn't want sympathies thats why she and her baba decided to hide it from everyone...even from him...because she was scared to lose him...

He showed himself strong infront of her but his heart was slowly breaking into pieces...

Astha was young and dying...he was afraid at the thought, more afraid than he would ever been... not only for her... but for himself as well...

He was living in fear of doing something wrong, of doing something that would offend her. Was it okay to ever get angry on someone in her presence? Was it okay to talk about the future anymore?...

His fears made it difficult for him to talk to her, but she was patient with him like always...

His fear, however, made him realize something else,something that made it all
worse. He realized that he never even known her so well when she was healthy...

He started to love her only a few months earlier,and those few months seemed to him like his entire life...

But now whenever he looked at her, all he could do was wonder how many more days there would be...

Astha left college...never to return there...as she was becoming weak with every passing day and wanted to spend more time with her father...

She was being treated by one of the best doctor arranged by niranjan for her...

But still shlok was worried seeing her worsening condition...

Next day he went to her home...she opened the door as usual with her smile...Shlok ...she said in excitement...

He leaned in and kissed her boths cheeks...she returned the kisses... both were smiling though the whole thing made shlok want to cry...

Astha:Hey what are you thinking...hurry up come inside...

He followed her...the house was so quiet...

Shlok:Where is uncle...

Astha:asusual still in his office...but you sit here...i will make something very tasty for you...

Despite her illness she used to stay normal for her baba and shlok's happiness...

Shlok grabbed her arm and pulled her to himself...How can you do this?he asked suddenly...How can you pretend that nothing is wrong?...

Astha caressed his face...I'm not pretending shlok...everything is really fine for me as you are with me... now let me go to make something nice...then we will eat it together...in a perfect candle light dinner style today...

She smiled at him, waiting for an answer, but his eyes welled up with tears hearing her words ...and slowly his lips moved to hers and he kissed her softly cupping her face...she also responded to the kiss pulling his face closer to her...

But suddenly he felt her grip loosening at his face...

She was not looking fine...

Astha...astha he shouted but before he could get a answer she collapsed in his arms...

He immediately took her to bed and called her doctor...

In sometime doctor was there...
He examined her and told him to get some new medicines for her...

Shlok:anything serious doctor...he asked with worry???...

Doctor:Well you already know that this disease is serious one but still make sure that she doesn't make herself tired tooo much ...like the way she did today...its better for her to take rest...

Shlok:ok doctor..i will take care of this...

After doctor left he went to her and sit next to her..holding her hand and crying seeing her condition...

She was looking so pale and thin today...

In all those days for the first time shlok realized that her hands were no longer soft... the bones in her hands were starting to show through her skin...the hands whose warmth gave him a nice feeling everytime he hold them were cold today...there were few bruises on her hands...despite all this, she still looked beautiful...

He kissed all her fingers softly...controlling his tears...

After few minutes she slowly opened her eyes...and a slight smile came to her face seeing shlok next to her...Shlok...she whispered and tried to sit...

Shlok:no keep lying...no need for you to sit...doctor suggested rest for you...

Astha:I am fine...don't worry..she spoke in a broken and shaky voice...caressing her hand...

But he was not convinced...

Shlok:When you are that sick already ..then whats the need to do work?" he asked with a little bit glimpse of anger in his eyes ...

She squeezed his hand...

Astha:I want to live normally before I die...she stopped at this word...and changed her line...actually doctors told me to try to lead as normal a life as possible for as long as I could...They said it would help me keep my strength up..."

Shlok:There is nothing normal about this astha...

Astha:I know shlok but...

He cut her sentence...aren't you frightened???...

He expected her to say no, to say something wise or mature like she always used to say...

But

She looked away...and said with teary eyes...Yes... I'm frightened all the time...

Shlok:"Then why don't you act like it infront of me?"...
Astha:Yes I do but only when I am alone...
Shlok:you think I will leave you?"
No...I know you're frightened, too."...thats why...

And shlok hugged caressing her back...making her to feel better...

While his heart was praying for a miracle...like the ones he used to hear in TV...people regaining use of their limbs after being told they'd never walk again, or somehow surviving a terrible accident when all hope was lost...

That night was the first in his life when he raised his hands to pray for her...he cried and begged for mercy from God...asked for her health...for her life...he kept on praying numbly that whole night sitting in the dim light of his bedroom...

Next morning he went to niranjan for discussing about some hospital bills...

His swollen eyes were telling all his pain..
.
Nianjan sat with him alone in the garden...

Niranjan:You really love her????...
Shlok:With all my heart...
He was really sad for shlok...What's your heart telling you to do my son???...
Shlok:I don't know baba...
Niranjan;Maybe... he said gently...you're trying too hard to hear it...

Shlok looked his baba with confused eyes...you mean marriage????...

Niranjan nodded in yes...you understand it right...you should marry astha..because you and astha need eachother...you know beta I married second time because i was alone in my life ...i needed someone to care for me... ...hope you will understand that I was also standing at the same place like yours...

Shlok thought the marriage thing to be most right that time...and thanked his baba for showing him the right way...

But how he will ask astha for this...this was making him tensed...

He thought all day and talked to avdhoot about this...

Avdhoot was happy but still he adviced him to gave a second thought to his decision but he was determined...so finally he agreed telling him that only astha's decision will be final for him...


Shlok went to meet astha and he behaved normally with her...avoid saying anything that may let her down...they talked about their friends...their interests...and sooo many more things...

Shlok:soo how are you feeling today sweetheart????...he asked kissing her head...and sat down by her side to feed her the apples...

Astha:I am feeling great...as you are near me...she said, smiling naughtily...but then she told honestly...the doctors have given me some medicine for the pain, and it seems to help a little...her smile didn't vanished for a second from her face...though she was more thin than before...

She finished with the apple...shlok placed the plate on side table...want anything else to eat???...
Astha:no...i m done...

Shlok:ok...anything else you want me to do for you...????

Astha:yeah...one thing...

Shlok:what???...

Astha:can you read this book for me????...

Shlok:yeah sure...he took the book from her hand...and smiled...

She smiled back and reached out to caress his cheeks softly...

He placed his head in her lap and started reading the book...it was a lovestory...a happy lovestory...a lovestory so different from theirs...with no worries and tears...

There was a constant smile on her face while listening to it...

The whole time shlok was thinking how to ask her and finally after finishing with the book...he mustered up some courage to talk to her...

Shlok:Astha...it was almost a whisper...he sit to face her...

Astha:hmmm...

Shlok:Will you give me something????...
She instantly felt that shlok will ask something impossible for her...suddenly her smile vanished ...she took a deep sigh and looked to the other side...What can i give u shlok..I don't have much time..she said in a sad tone...

Shlok:You can astha...he said cupping her face and making her to look in his eyes...

Astha:what you need shlok????...she asked as she wanted to fulfil all his wishes before her death...

Shlok gave a faint smile...he was nervous...

Astha asked again...what you want shlok...

Shlok:All your love...

Her eyes filled with tears...
She slowly extended her arms to him and he instantly moved to hug her...

She took him in a tight hug...

Shlok:I love you astha...he said kissing her shoulder softly...while his tears stained her soft skin...

Astha tighten her grip more...and caressed his back gently...I love you tooo shlok...these were the words he wanted to hear from her...

He was still in her embrace when he finally spoke the words...so will you marry me astha????would you like to be my wife????...

His words left her in a shock...

He wants to marry me...me...a dying patient...the words echoed in her ears...

She slightly pushed him away...

Shlok:what happened astha...tell me will you marry me????...

She was numb not knowing what to say...




No precap...next update will be the last one...
