"I'm sorry RK, but I just can't do anything about it. The oncologist at that hospital spoke correctly. You had the chance to attempt to remove the cancer, but now that it's spread, it'll be impossible to remove it all. It's too late. She wouldn't live through the surgery. I'm sorry but she doesn't have long to live."

It felt like the bad news was piling up. I hung up the phone and threw it at the wall across from me. I felt faces turn in my direction but I ignored them all. My hands curled into fists, as I grew angry at the fact that for the second time in my life I was completely helpless again. I couldn't do anything to even save my own life. The last time I had been helpless was when I watched my father hanging from the ceiling with a rope around his neck. I couldn't do anything to save him. Why was it that the people I love the most are the people I become unable to save. Why are they always snatched away from me? Why...

I once again had to build up the courage to face Madhu. So, I sat outside her room on the chairs that lined the wall. I rested my face in the palms of my hands as I thought back to when she had been so lively.

"Arey! RK! Give it back to me!"

"What? This? Nope, sorry Biwi, it's mine now."

She chased me around and over the bed, attempting to grab her missing earing, which was in my possession. She stopped on top of the bed and stared down at me as I stood on the ground. She placed both her hands on her hips and put on her adorable frustrated expression.

"RK, I swear...if you don't give me it back..."

"Then? Then what Biwi?"

I smirked, unable to hold back my pleasure in getting on her nerves. After all, I was RK and she Madhu. If a day went by without even a slight argument between the both of us, our relationship felt incomplete. So, I made sure to fulfill that argument requirement everyday.

"Don't make me come down there."

"Come Biwi, I'm waiting."

I dangled the earring in front of her, just out of her reach. I watched as a smile crossed her face and then suddenly she was on the ground in front of me. She stumbled forwards and placed both her hands on my chest to stable herself. I put the hand that held the earring behind my back and placed my other hand around her waist. She gasped and looked up at me with her beautiful, almond shaped, golden eyes. They always managed to take my breath away. I smiled down at her passionately as she smiled back mischievously. She placed both her hands behind my back, attempting to get back her earring but I raised my hand into the air and stood on my tiptoes. She reached up but was unable to reach her earring. I chuckled. She crossed her arms and stepped back, annoyed.

"If Ma gets mad at me for being late."

"Oh come on Biwi, can't you just spend some time with your patidev?"

I placed the earring in my back pocket and stepped towards Madhu. She took a step back but was a bit too late as I grabbed onto her waist and pulled her close. Her chest hit mine and she glanced up at me with eyes full of love. She smiled, her beautiful smile. A smile that even the sun could not compare too. Her eyes pulled me in and I found myself in a trance, mesmerized by her mere beauty. I remembered back when there had been a time that I detested just the look of her; a time when I did all I could to stay away from her; a time were just a touch from her skin would make me retreat. And there I stood, with her in my arms, lost in a trance, madly in love.

It wasn't until she giggled that I pulled out of my trance. I looked down at her and watched as she dangled the earring in front of me.

"Not again..."

"It works every time Patidev."

She smiled and pulled herself free form my grip.

"Wait!"

She looked up at me as I put out my hand. An eyebrow rose in question on her face.

"Can I do the honours?"

She laughed, a beautiful laugh, it was like a melody in my ears.

"You're talking as though you're about to propose to me again."

"Biwi, I'm RK. I've only ever proposed to someone once in my lifetime and I never plan on doing it again."

She smiled and placed the earring in my hand. She took a hold of my hand and led me towards the mirror in our room. Then she slowly turned her back towards me. I let my hands brush against her back as I gently moved her hair to one side. I watched her back arch in response to the contact. It was as though I could see the chill running down her spine. I looked at her face in the mirror and she looked almost nervous...passionately nervous. That look of hers always made my heart beat faster than normal. I gently placed her earring in place and then rested my head on her shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her and watched as she closed her eyes. I could hear her breathing increasing as I slowly turned my head towards her neck. I closed my eyes and inhaled her beautiful, rosy scent. Just her scent gave away how gorgeous she was. I planted one tiny kiss on her neck and felt her neck arch in response. Another kiss, tasting her milky, smooth skin beneath my lips. Then she pulled free again and I saw the most stunning smile I had ever seen before, on her face. She took my breath away again and a smile crossed my face as well. I glanced down at her hand in mine and watched as her hand slowly slipped free from mine. I felt almost alone the instant her hand was no longer in mine. It was a strange feeling, a feeling I wish I had done something about. I looked up at her again, my smile disappearing. She was already halfway out of our room.

"I'll be back in a couple hours! I love you!"

"I'll be waiting...I love you too..."

I watched as she waved while quickly running out of our room. Little did I know that that'd be the last time I'd see her that happy, full of life, and lively.

She never did come back that night. It was a call from the hospital that I had received instead. Informing me that my wife had been admitted. It wasn't until I reached the hospital that I got the news of her cancer. It was a small tumor at the time. She didn't even look weak. She looked herself in fact. She had just passed out and not woken up for a while. That was it.

They had asked if I'd give consent to surgery...but after reading all the possible risks, I couldn't get myself to agree. So, she was put onto chemotherapy. Things began looking better. Though the side effects of chemotherapy had begun taking a toll on her health, the doctors always gave the good news of the cancer disappearing. If only they had known that the cancer was in the process of spreading to other parts of her body...maybe then she wouldn't be in the condition she was.

I opened my eyes and looked down at my watch. I didn't even realize that I had fallen asleep outside of her room. I quickly stood up and ran towards her room. I opened the door and my phone fell out of my hand, as I stood shocked at the sight in front of me.

nice update prittb
