chapter 7
i walked inside the house, i have 2 hours to get ready for my date with abhay, i grinned as i ran upstairs, took a shower and stood in front of my closet.. i sighed as i looked at my old dresses.. size 10.. where can i find size 12? i started looking here and there when i looked at a plastic bag inside the closet, i took it and looked inside, a black dress.. size 12.. i took the whole dress out and i gasped, it was beautiful.. but, i didnt buy it for sure.. i looked inside the bag to see the bill, it says.. oh.. my eyes are forming tears.. now i remember.. ah, i sat on my bed looking at the bill, it was my birthday last year.. abhay walked inside the house and i started a fight.. i did notice this bag.. but i didnt know that he would put it inside my closet.. oh god, i dont want to cry now.. i wipped my tears then put it on me.. it fits me perefctly.. i put on my make up.. dont know how long since i used it but had to use it, then looked at my hair.. never fails me, i smiled then heard Abhay's voice "coming" i shouted
"PIYA" i was shouting as i ran upstairs, i know we were getting late, and i still have to take a shower and get ready "piya, im goin to take.." i stopped as i saw her opening the door "a shower.." my jaw just dropped, she's wearing the dress..
i looked at him, and started blushing "i'll wait for you downstairs.."
she walked pass me when i held her hand "not that quickly" i smiled at her
my heart started pounding as he was pulling me towards him "we're going to get late" i said as i felt his arm on my waist
i moved her long hair away then kissed her neck "do you like it?" i whispered in her ear as i put my both arms around her
"yeah" i looked back at him "chalo" i kissed his nose "im starving" i giggled
i looked at her for a while "you look so beautiful" she blushed then looked down "hai.." i giggled then kissed her cheek, slowly moved my arms away "give me 10 minutes"
"5!" i giggled
"ah 5.." i ran towards my bathroom, took a quick shower then walked towards my room, straight towards the closet, got piya's favrite suit out and put it on, ran downstairs "im done"
i looked at him, my heart was melting now, he was wearing a black suit with white shirt, it was half unbuttoned and his hair is still wet.. his smell, i bit my lower lip "you look handsome"
"i know" i winked at her then kissed her hand and walked towards my car. we arrived at the restaurant, ordered and started eating.. remembering the old days, how we used to come here all the time, when we were done, we decided to take a walk in a park that was next to the restaurant.. we sat down on a bench, putting my arm around piya, holding her close to me "this was the best day of my life" i said kissing her head
i was looking at the sunset in front of us, listening to Abhay's heartbeat "mine too.." i held his hand and started to remember the days that passed that i couldve spent it like this with him
i looked down at her, she was awfuly quiet "what are you thinking about?" i asked moving a hair with my finger off her forehead
"us" i smiled "just thinking about how much i loved you.." i paused
"loved?" i smiled "dont you anymore?"
i slowly moved back and sat straight still holding his hand "how much i loved and hated you.." i said looking down
i know what she's talking about, we never talked about that day.. "go on.."
"i was hurt.. so badly.. when you slapped me.. i hated you.. i didnt want to see your face.. even after the many times you apologized, i hated you.." i sniffed looking at the way he was holding my hand tight "and that night after coming back from the hospital, i waited for you to sleep.." i feel like sobing now.. but i have to tell him this "i packed my clothes and.. walked towards the door.. but i couldnt leave" i let out a cry
my heart was aching me.. i felt it was about to stop looking at her like that
"i looked at the door and tried to tell myself that i will find a better guy.. i will be happy with someone else.. but i stopped and looked back at the stairs.. imagining you coming towards me smiling.. holding me in your arms.. i started crying knowing that i love you so much that i cant live without you.. even though you've hurt me.. i just.." i paused as i took a deep breath, i didnt want to look at him, i know he's crying now "so all what i wanted to do is.. to get back at you.. i saw how weak you are.. and i used it against you.. everyday.. i'd start a fight just to make you feel my pain" i looked down "im sorry" i whispered
"piya" i was in tears
"i'm sorry.." i said again
i hugged her tightly and started to rub her back "dont apologize.." i kissed her neck "im glad we can now put this behind us and move on together.."
i smiled "haan.." i moved and looked at him, then looked at the sunset "Abhay.."
"yeah?" i said wipping my tears
i smiled then sat on my knees in front of him
i looked at her confused
i looked at his hand, took the wedding ring out
my heart was beating fast looking at her
i took a deep breath then looked straight into his eyes "will you marry me?"
my eyes are forming tears again, i put my hands on her shoulders, then stood up with her "always and forever.. yes" i leaned down then kissed her softly
"i love you Abhay.."
"i love you too.."
we went back home holding hands, just until we reached upstairs.. we looked at each other "so.." i said coming closer to her
"so?" i giggled as he put his arms around my waist
"you still want to sleep alone?" i smiled at her
"no"
"ok" i kissed her forehead "my bed is bigger than yours"
i laughed "my room is bigger than yours.."
i blinked at her "mine or yours?"
i giggled "yours.." i paused looking at his eyes "ours.."
i smiled holding her up in my arms, going to my room, slowly put her down on the bed "i was thinking.." i said as i started to unzip her dress
"yes?" i blushed unbuttoning his shirt
"we should have a baby.." damn it..
i stopped unbuttoning his shirt.. my eyes were forming tears
everything stood still, and i couldnt just look at her eyes "im sorry.. damn it piya. im sorry i didnt.." i looked at her, she's having tears "im really sorry.."
i dont know what happened i just pushed him slowly away from me "im going to wear my pjs.." i said ggetting up walking outside his room
STUPID! i hit my forehead.. i forgot.. how can i forget that she cant have babies? oh god.. i got up and ran towards her room, i was listening to her crying, i opened the door to see her sitting on her bed
the moment i saw him getting inside the room, i wipped my tears away and looked down
i sat down next to her "i dont know how i forgot.."
"maybe because you want a baby.." i whispered
i sighed heavily, did i ruin our day? i looked at her hand, scared to reach out for it and hold it.. i dont want her to be cold towards me again "its not that i want to have a baby.."
i looked at him "you dont want to?"
"if it wasnt yours then no" i looked at her "i know we've been trying in our first year.." i sighed "i really dont know how i forgot.." i looked at her "im sorry.."
i bit my lower lip then smiled at him, he was being honest "its ok.."
i smiled back, wanted to change the subject "i see your room is bigger than mine"
i giggled wipping my tears "it is.."
"chalo, lets sleep here.." i looked at her
i want him to hug me
i slowly put my arms around her and hugged her tightly
i woke up the next morning smiling, his arms were around me.. gosh i missed this feeling, i looked at the clock, 6 am.. "abhay" i looked back at him
"hm" i said still closing my eyes
"its 6 am" i turned to face him
"toh?"
i giggled, he's so sleeping "work today"
"isnt it Saturday?" i mumbled
"it was last week.."
i opened one eye looking at her giggling "wah.. smart hai na?" i said as i started tickeling her
i started laughing "stop it abhay"
i hugged her tightly then kissed her head grinning "good morning jaan"
"achcha?" i kissed him softly "good morning to you too"
i giggled still holding her "you want to go out have lunch after school?"
i shook my head "i was thinking of cooking something special for you"
i grinned like a kid "what?"
"cant say" i sat on the bed then put hair up
i looked at her as she got up and walked towards her closet, got her towels out then left me in her room, i smiled everything is going back to normal.. i'd do anything.. anything to keep it like this, i got up, walked towards my room when i heard a bang on the floor, i almost jumped, my heart started pounding as i looked at the source of the sound "Piya.." i called out but she didnt reply "PIYA" i shouted walking fast towards the bathroom, i opened the door "PIYA" i shouted getting down on my knees, she was on the floor not moving "PIYA open your eyes sweetheart" i held her in my arms but she wasnt moving..
i was sitting on the chair of the hospital waiting for the doctor to come out
"Mr. RAICHAND?" i looked up at him "im Dr. John.."
i got up "how's she?"
"please.." he sat down and i sat next to him "she's been visiting us for the past few months.. and asked us not to inform you about her.."
"wait, what are you talking about?" i interrupted him.. my heart was beating fast
he looked at me for few seconds "your wife has brain tumor.."
i started laughing "no, my wife is fine.. her name is piya raichand.."
the doctor was looking at me "i am talking about piya raichand.."
i slowly stopped laughing "but she is fine.." i was having tears "she will be fine right?"
"i adviced her for a surgery but she refused.. if only she agreed at that time.."
i was breathing heavily looking at the doctor
"im sorry.."
"can i see her?"
"yes.."
i slowly opened her room door, she was lying down looking outside the window "hello" i said as i sat on a chair next to her bed
"Abhay.." i looked at him, he's been crying "im sorry i didnt tell you.."
i sniffed then smiled "why didnt you? why did you have to go through this alone?"
i smiled "i was fighting with you remember?" then i giggled "its funny.. i dreamed that you're the one with the brain tumor and i was crying.."
"i wish i was the one piya.."
"no" i reached my hand for him, he was sitting far from it though
i held her hand, then hugged her tightly, i didnt notice i was crying in her arms
"i'll be alright.." i smiled kissing his shoulder "dont worry about me.."
i looked down at her "we just started piya.."
"hm" i nodded, trying not to cry "i didnt want to leave you with a bad influence"
i smiled then i kissed her forehead "you wont leave me.."
i looked at him, i cant let him go through this..
"i will take you to the best doctors" i grinned "and you will be fine"
i cant stop myself from crying now "i love you abhay"
i shook my head,.. hugged her tightly.. im not ready for her to leave.. and i cant imagine my life without her..
i dont want him to live alone.. and i know he wont move on.. i know him too well
i looked down at her, kissed her head "you'll be alright.."
