CHAPTER 2

Her door creaked open and she kept her eyes on her phone even if her heart gave a little jump at the sound. "Please go away. I don't want to talk to anyone right now."

"Not even me?"

Her eyes closed and her fingers clenched around the phone as if she was savouring the moment. She had to be imagining his voice. He had left the city. He had told her that. He had promised never to come back. Could it actually be him?

"It's really me siyappa queen," His hand touched her cheek and she gasped. He couldn't be here. "You can open your eyes." He urged softly.

Twinkle's eyes closed tighter as she desperately held onto the moment. If it was just a dream she couldn't let him go. He couldn't leave her from here as well. "Kk--Kunj?" she uttered.

"It's me," He slowly cupped her hands and even though her eyes were closed she smiled as she felt his lips descend onto her forehead. He was real. He was actually there with her when she needed him the most.

"Kunj?" Her eyes opened and he was sitting exactly 2 feet away from her. Without caring for anything she threw her arms around his neck and could feel his arms close around her back.

"Ssh...I'm here now, kya yaar twinkle mai thodi der ke liye chala kya gaya tune itna bada siyappa kar diya?," He smoothed her hair down as she whimpered into the curve of his neck. She was so vulnerable right now that his heart ached. He had never wanted her to be in pain let alone this much pain. The fact that he could do nothing to help her ate away at him. She was the love of his life and he had to watch her so helpless and vulnerable.

"Kunj--I'm so sorry." She blubbered.

"What are you sorry for?" He pulled her away from him and tucked her hair behind her ears as he held her face in his hands. "I'm sorry that I wasn't here sooner. I'm sorry I didn't answer your call. I'm sorry I even said I'd leave in the first place. I'm just so so sorry Twinkle,"

Twinkle shook her head as she hugged him again. She couldn't believe he was here. He had come back just when she needed him the most and now she had gained the courage to face any problems head on. If the cancer had spread he'd be here with her every step of the way to help her through it.

"Hey, you're out of surgery," Twinkle sighed as she felt a hand on her forehead. It felt protective and instantly she knew it was his. He was with her. He was back for good. She let her eyes open and saw his face smiling down at her. But his eyes, there was no sparkle left; they weren't the happy eyes she wanted to see, there was too much sadness.

"Kunj, what happened?" she gasped for breath, still full of exhaustion from the surgery.

"You had the surgery a little while ago." He told her.

Twinkle shook her head. "I know that, but something's wrong. Tell me."

Kunj turned to look at Yuvraj standing near the back of the room and Yuvraj nodded. "Twinkle, it has already spread. They removed the tumour from your stomach but it's already in your liver now."

Twinkle bit her lip before shaking her head. "So that's it? I'm going to die? How long do I have."

"Ssh!" He slowly put his hand over her mouth. "Don't talk like that; it kills me to see you like this."

"Then leave Kunj." Twinkle said turning the other way.

"Wha--what?" He asked.

"Go. If you can't see me like this, I don't want you to see me whenever it happens. Just leave."

Kunj slowly got up and as he turned away Twinkle felt his hand slip away from hers and let a small tear escape her eyes. she felt the disease wont kill her as brutally as she died in that moment when his hand left hers.

"What was that?" Yuvraj walked closer to her and asked.

"Yuvi please, I don't need to talk about this now. Can you send Bebe in?" Twinkle crossed her arms and nodded for him to leave.

"Fine."

Yuvraj left her room only to have Bebe come in seconds later.

"Umm bebe, before we get into the details, can I ask you something?" Twinkle asked.

Bebe smiled slowly. "He didn't leave. He's outside with your Mom."

Twinkle was surprised but brushed it off. How had bebe known that she was going to ask about him? "Okay thanks."

"Hmm shall I talk about your condition now?" Twinkle nodded. "Okay so you had the surgery, we got rid of the tumour in your stomach but now, the cancer has spread to your liver and so we're going to have to put you on chemotherapy."

"Bebe wait--how long do I have? Without chemo or any kind of therapy?" Twinkle asked.

"Why would you want to know that Twinkle? Chemo is the best bet right now."

"Bebe please?"

Bebe sighed. "We found the cancer too late Twinkle," she covered her mouth. "You'd have a month."

Twinkle sighed. A month to live. A month to fit all her aspirations for life. A month to live freely. "Can I leave the hospital?"

"You don't want to do chemo?" bebe asked. "Twinkle, it's a bad decision."

"Bebe, it's for the best. Even with the chemo, what's the guarantee I'd live forever?"

Bebe had no reply to that. "But puttar, your Mom has to be in on your decision."

"No, I'm married now. I'm an adult. If anyone, my husband has to support me. Can you bring him in?"

Bebe nodded as she opened the door and gestured for someone to come closer. Kunj sighed as he saw her smile at him.

"I'm sorry about before Kunj. I just wasn't ready."

"I know Twinkle," he took her hand in his and rubbed his thumb in slow circles.

"Twinkle wants to talk to you about her decision Kunj; I'll leave you two alone." Bebe forced a smile as she left the room.

"What's going on?" Kunj asked.

"I don't want chemo,"

"But Twinkle, there's no other way..."

"I don't want to go through that all only to find that in like 3 months it didn't even make a difference at all. Kunj, the cancer has spread too much. I won't be able to fight it."

"You won't even try for me?" He looked down at her hand in his.

"Kunj, don't do this. I need your support right now more than I ever did. I want to live this month as a lifetime with you."

He didn't know what to say. How could he live day after day knowing that she could be gone any second? He wouldn't be able to endure that kind of pain. And after, when she was gone--he wouldn't be able to live without her. She was his life. What was the use of existing in a world where she wasn't around?

"Please Kunj? For me?" Twinkle sighed. "For the love that we share?"

He couldn't answer her. The pleading look in her eyes made his throat go dry. How could he deny her the one thing she had ever asked him for?

"Of course," he whispered back.

Her smile grew bigger but there was a sense of hollowness in it. "I want to leave the hospital today."

"Twinkle you just had surgery. We can't leave today."

Twinkle shook her head. "Every day in this hospital is killing me anyways."

"Don't say that word," Kunj told her quickly. "Promise me from now on, you won't say that."

"Okay, I won't." She smiled as he leaned down and cradled her in his arms. She felt a sense of protection. Maybe he wasn't a superhero but when she was with him she wasn't scared of the future; the future that had the ability to take everything away from her.

It had been 3 weeks since he had taken her back to their home. She had never been happier not even when they had first gotten married. Kunj could easily help her forget the impending fate when they were together. They would spend every night reading together or watching their favourite movies always just cuddled up together. Every morning would dawn with them being together in the sunrise. This was how she had always envisioned the rest of her life to be. Not just a month of it.

"Kunj!" Twinkle called, her cough making it hard to talk.

"Twinkle, are you okay?" Kunj rushed into the room and held her hand and put his other hand against her forehead. "Should I call the doctor?"

Twinkle forced a small smile on her face. "I'm fine. I just wanted to see you,"

"Twinkle," He frowned. "Don't scare me like that please?"

Twinkle rolled her eyes. "It's not like I get to do anything around here anyways. You always leave me in this stupid bed and make me rest. I want to go do something fun!"

"Like?" Kunj smirked.

"I, don't know exactly. Oh let's go paint the spare guest room!" Twinkle bit her lip the minute she realized what she had said.

"You mean the nursery room we had kept," Kunj slowly took her hand in his and then scooted closer to let her lean her head on his chest.

"I'm sorry for mentioning it," Twinkle sighed. "I forgot that that it was a dream we can't share together." Kunj kissed her forehead lightly. "Kunj, will you promise me something?"

"No."

"Kunj!" she frowned. "Please?

"No Twinkle. I know what you want to ask for and I'm sorry I refuse to promise something like that. Falling in love with you was not in my control but it was perfect; trying to fall in love with someone ELSE, is not something I plan to do."

She didn't know what to say to that. She should be thrilled that he loved her so much but she didn't want him to be unhappy afterwards. "Fine, I won't argue." He smiled down at her. "Achha suno, can you go get me some ice-cream please? From my favourite place?"

"Of Course." Kunj winked and lightly kissed her on the lips before turning around until she grabbed his hand.

"I love you Kunj."

"I love you too Twinkle." He smiled again as he turned to leave.

Twinkle sighed as she reached for her glasses and a reading book before settling back into the bed all snuggly when leela arrived.

She looked at her mother,taking in her pale face and worried eyes. she smiled assuring her that she was fine.

leela hugged her tight wanting to protect her daughter from everything but unable to do so.

She had come to respect twinkles wishes but her heart wanted nothing more than throwing this disease out of twinkles life.

she sobbed helplessly,unable to control anymore.

"I wish i could do something twinkle."leela said.

"I know maa everyone would have done a thousand things till now but i have begin to understand that there are some things in life we have no control over,when we can't fight it we should accept it. fighting against it is gonna make my life worse maa and i know you don't want that for your little star.right?"Twinkle tried to appear strong.

"I understand mera bacha. but it hurts,it hurts too damn much twinkle,to know that one day i am going to lose you,my reason to live."leela said holding her tight.

"i can't do much to lessen your pain maa but trust me time will make everything heal."twinkle took a deep breath. "maa i never really said it you know but thank you for the life you have given me. thank you for all the blessing you gave me,dont think i didn't acknowledge them. i do and i will always be grateful. you are the best mother in the world and i love you,admire you maa."twinkle broke down then.she hugged leela as she let her guard down finally the frightened girl letting her tears out. drowning in her grief,her mother soaking her tears in her shawl,consoling her giving her strength to face her problems for one last time.

she basked in her mother's embrace one last time.

she breathed in her soothing fragrance one last time.

Leela held her close,remembering the times she had done the same every night but today their was deep rooted fear that she might lose her. there was nothing she could do to prepare herself except spend these moments with her and hope against hope that she would be able to bear this loss.

"I've got her that ice-cream and the new issues of the magazine she loves reading," Kunj mumbled to himself as he put his key into the house lock. "Twinkle, I'm home." He called out as she left the keys on the entrance table before proceeding to their room.

Once he got there he saw her lying out in the balcony,reading the book he had brought her last week. he kept the ice cream away for later and decided to join her there as well. grabbing a blanket he headed out.

'Scoot over missy.'' he said lying down beside her. he hoped she would retort back but she was silently staring at the page. he took the book from her hand keeping it aside.

'what happened twinkle?''' he held her hand in his as they started at the darkening sky.

"how long can we avoid it kunj?"she turned her head towards him. her thumb unintentionally caressing circles on his hand.

"avoid what?"he asked trying to escape this conversation. he wasn't ready for a goodbye yet. it was too early. he had just begun to make new memories with her. he wanted more of her beautiful smile,her late night talks over ice cream and her insightful advices that solved his problems in a minute. but then again how could one be ready to say goodbye to the love of his life,his wife.

"i have one order for you mr sarna."twinkle pretended to smile "no tears at all."she turned towards him with a watery smile. few blinks and she had cleared her eyes. that's what he loved about her. her ability to always make him smile. one could just not ignore her orders.

"i am scared twinkle."kunj took her in his arms wanting to feel her close.

"me too kunj. me too."she replied. "but it's inevitable so why go crying over it?Honestly i am not sad about it. i have come to terms with it. you helped me kunj." she held his hand tighter, "without your support,your love,your encouragement this one month would have been living hell for me but you turned it into my personal heaven on earth. i lived my life to the fullest kunj. i have no regrets,and isn't that the best way to go?"He looked at her awed by her spirit. here he was shattering in pieces internally at the prospect of losing her and he should be helping her overcome her fears instead here she was helping his broken heart.

"it is the best way to go indeed. Twinkle i don't know what i am going to do. even the mere thought of it makes me go numb. i don't think i can handle it twinkle. this one month was not enough for me. i don't know if it was a blessing or a curse. i thought this one month was a blessing,i get to tell you everyday for this one month that i love you,i wanted to make you smile everyday. spend time with you. make memories with you that i will cherish for a lifetime but this one month also showed me the things i will never have again in life. your love,your companionship,the fights over which movies we will watch,your laughter,your advice. i am not ready to let go twinkle. I can't live without you." kunj said resting his forehead against hers,her warm body soothing his fears.

Tears blurred his vision.he controlled himself, he had to be strong for her, she had requested that they won't cry. he was at least going to respect her wish.

Twinkle hated the numbness in his eyes. it made him seem... dead.. lifeless and she couldn't bear that. she held his face into her hand "listen to me kunj and i might not get to tell you this again. so listen carefully. You might not have me for the rest of your life but you will have my memory. you will not have my companionship for the rest of your life but you will have the memory of my love."she paused trying to stop her racing heart. this was harder than she had thought. she had spent all evening steeling herself for this she couldn't break down now. "you will live your life kunj. you will not become this numb,semi dead man you are when you think i am not watching or i am sleeping. if life is betraying me why are you betraying life? life is meant to be lived not exist like a shell. I want a promise kunj."she held her hand out to him. "Promise me you will love again. promise me you will live your life,promise me you will fulfill our dreams. do reclaim your life."She finished looking into his eyes.

he held her hand and whispered"Don't ask for promises i can never make twinkle. i promise i will fulfil our dreams,i promise i will live my life and i promise i will love you till my last breath. i don't think i am capable of loving anyone else twinkle. every inch of my heart and soul is encompassed in your love. it's just not possible. i promised to love you forever and loving you makes forever seem too short. you understand that right?" he asked. sadly she did understand it all too completely. she nodded.

she couldn't force him she knew after all if someone asked her to love someone else after kunj she would probably kill the person. he was the love of her life. loving someone else after loving kunj seemed impossible now.

"this is goodbye kunj."she whispered softly, placing a peck on his lips as she hugged him and drifted to sleep but not before saying "I love you kunj" she snuggled closer and slept,smiling serenely when he responded "I will love you forever."

He basked in her fragrance, memorizing her face.

hours passed and he stayed there,under the night sky in her arms. he felt it more than he saw it, as her breathing stopped his heart slowed. sorrow filled his body as her body went limp in his arms. . His finger brushed near her temples and he jumped at the contact. Her skin was icy cold. He hesitatingly put his head down to her heart and his eyes closed in pain. There was no heartbeat. She had left him at last.

he hugged her one last time as finally tears fell from his eyes. his control was shattered to pieces. he screamed her name over and over again, desperate to get a response from her, desperate even as he found none. He was allowed to cry,he had lost his love,his light.

bebe had found them both like this later that night. her heart broke for kunj. he had refused to leave her side. bebe had to force him. Kunj wasn't aware that their families were crowding around him. the only thing he was aware of was that his twinkle wasn't moving. the only thing Kunj remembered was screaming her name while she was taken from him.

6 months later

kunj stood alone in the cemetery,as was his routine. every saturday he would come and share his life's happening with her. "2 days later is the opening of our orphanage. i finally fulfilled our dream twinkle. i hope you are satisfied. K.T Dreams is going to support children who suffer from cancer too. I wish you were here to see it but i hope you like it."kunj said and just then a small breeze caressed his face letting him know she was around him. Even after all this time, he could feel her presence around him. people called him crazy, but that never stopped him from acknowledging twinkle's presence in his life. he smiled and kept a rose on the stone. making his way out of the cemetery he was content with his life. He had made peace with her being gone. It had been hard to pick up the pieces of his life but eventually twinkle was the glue that had mended his life,her memories had shaped his life beautifully.

her memories were the only thing he had left, and those memories were enough to spend a lifetime cherishing. people told him that he should move on,he needed a partner in life but those fools never understood the love twinkle and kunj had shared. the bond they had shared in that one month had been more than enough for him to live his life. Even though their love couldn't stop death, he knew that death couldn't stop their love.

walking along the muddy trail out of the cemetery he contemplated his life.

He had everything he ever dreamed of except the girl who had showed him those dreams. Still her memory lived forever in his heart,healing him,mending him,inspiring him.

his moments with her lasted for a month but her memory will live on forever.

And as is it said when someone you love becomes a memory that memory becomes a treasure. he would cherish his love for twinkle forever and live till his time came and he shall join her after death. till then he vowed to live his life waiting for the day he would reunite with her.

his mind flashed to his conversation with bebe,when she had asked him to move on. he hadn't gone into explanations he had just said one line. "life has to end,love doesn't."

They hadn't even had a few moments together before fate cruelly ripped them apart. He quietly sobbed as he took in her face into memory. She looked calm and peaceful. There was a slight curve at one side of her mouth making it look like she was smiling and he sighed. Nothing mattered now. Not him, not life, nor anything if it was without her.

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal and love leaves a memory no one can steal"
