"Doctor, Any progress?When will she regain her consciousness?"Abhinav asked to the doctor who is sitting across him in his comfy chair.They are separated by a glass table.
The doctor is holding a report file in his left hand and studying it very carefully.
Abhinav looking at him eagerly ,waiting for his answer with a hope that maybe this time he will say something positive.
A moment later,letting out a sigh the doctor closed the file and put it on the table. And finally looked up at Abhinav's face.
"I am sorry,Abhinav.There is no improvement can be seen in her recent test report."He said , making him dishearten .
Abhinav's face fell abruptly as his hope crushed once again .His eyes teared up.
The doctor rose from his chair and came to him.
He placed his hand on Abhinav's shoulder as he spoke "In this 4 years you always ask me as to when she will regain consciousness.And everytime I'd to dishearten you."
"I wish,I could say something pleasant which would give you happiness."The doctor consoled him.
That's all he can do right now.
......
After meeting the doctor when Abhinav came back into her room,Mrs.Braganza has gone by then.
He sat beside her head and keep staring at her for a long time.His eyes were reflecting his emotions.
"No matter what other say,I know you'll be fine you'll come back to me.It may not be soon but that day will come for sure."He said ,breaking his long silence .
Though he said those words to her but the truth is he said those words to himself to encourage,to make himself brave.
The evening rolled off and the night come.Abhinav is still in the hospital ,talking with her in her room.
"I'd a meeting this morning with a big corporate company."He said while arranging the liilies on flower vase which he had brought for her this morning.
"And you will be happy to know that I have cracked the deal."He said ,this time looking at her sleeping face,having a smug smile on his face .
He has done arranging the flower vase,So he sat back on his chair and continued.
"Dad was very pleased with me for it.He praised me a lot."
He kept on talking to her and when he feel sleepy ,he slept there;in her room on sofa.
Next day morning ....
Mrs.braganza came into the room for Amaira's morning check up.
When she entered ,she found him sleeping on sofa.She shook her head,having a smile on her face.
She closed the door and walked towards the bed.And the sound of her footsteps ,woke him.
He rose to a sitting position and rubbed his eyes briskly .
"Good morning,my son."Mrs.Braganza wished, seeing him got up.
"Good morning,Mrs.Braganza."he wished her back,his voice sounded husky.
"Again you slept here!"She said while checking out Amaira's heartbeat on monitor screen.
"I was talking with her at night.I don't know when I fall asleep."He replied, smiling sheepishly while scratching the back of his head.
Mrs.Braganza chuckled lowly.
He grabbed his coat which was lying on sofa and walked towards the door.He is going for freshen up.Before going out of the room he turned at Mrs.Braganza.
"I'll be right back.Please don't give her injection until I come back"He requested her.
Mrs.Braganza looked at him and nodded her head in response .
Abhinav smiled at her and walked out of the room for freshen up.He went into the waiting room's washroom and at first did his morning business and then washing his face,he came back into her room .
Mrs.Braganza kept her promise.She did give her injection only when he came back .And as usual Abhinav held Amaira's hand and closed his eyes at that time.
"You love her very much"Mrs.Braganza said ,it was a statement not a question .
Abhinav looked at Amaira and smiled as he answered"Yes,I love her...more than my own life.She is the reason for that I'm living."
"You know what?I'm amazed when I look at you."She said to him.
Abhinav looked up at her face.
"Why so?"He asked confused.
"I'm taking care of her from the last 4 year.And in those years I've witnessed your love, your care and concern for her.I've never seen anyone love someone this much."She explained her statement.
Abhinav smiled only .
"She must have something special that's why you love her so much."Mrs.Braganza added, looking down at Amaira.
"She is special herself."He mumbled.Also his eyes were on Amaira.
"Please tell me something about her.I don't know anything about her."Mrs.Braganza requested.
"About her?"Abhinav rose from his chair and went near the window.
"Words will fall short If I start describing her.I don't think I have to tell you how beautiful she is ,you can see that by yourself."He chuckled .
Mrs.Braganza gave him a smile and nodded in agreement.
Abhinav glanced out the window as he continued"And about her nature?Well...She was intelligent, focused,self confident and compassionate.She was not just practical and strong but also sensible and responsible.Besides She was always very punctual .And she used to dislike those people who isn't punctual about his/her work."
"And you know what,Mrs.Braganza?Once I was belong to that group; lazy and unpunctual.And she used to get irritated a lot by this habit of mine."He chuckled softly, remembering those moments.
"If you don't mind,Can I ask you something?"She asked after a minute of silence.
He snapped out of his trance at her voice and turned around at her.
Mrs.Braganza standing near the bed,beside her head at that time.
"Yeah,of course.Ask whatever you want to."he said.
"If you don't mind,Can you tell me how did your love story start?Like how did you both first meet?How did fall in love?Who did propose to whom?..and everything.Please !!"She requested him like a child who wants to hear bed time story.
"Our love story?"He got surprised at her sudden demand.
"Yes,I really want to know it."she said, excitement could be seen on her face.
"But ...I.."he was hesitating whether or not to tell her .
Mrs.Braganza noticed his hesitation.
"If you have any problem to share your love story with me then its ok.No problem."She said .But her face betrayed her,it was showing her sadness.
Abhinav hastened to say ,seeing her glum face"There's nothing like that,Mrs.Braganza.I don't have any problem."
"Okay,I will tell you our love story......Our sweet love story."He agreed.
"Really!!"Mrs.Braganza exclaimed,her face brightened with a broad smile.
Abhinav nodded smilingly.
"But it will take time to finish.What about your duty?"he asked .
"Today is my half day duty.I was about to leave after checking her anyway.So ,there won't be any problem. I can stay here and listen to your love story."She said, grinning widely.
Abhinav chuckled seeing her eagerness and curiosity.
"Okay,then."He came near the bed and sat on his regular stool.
Mrs.Braganza took a seat on sofa ,eagerly waiting for him to start.
Abhinav relaxed himself,taking a deep breath and then started "So, It's all begin......"

Are you guys interested to know their love story?
Interested to know what has happened with Amaira?
Abhinav starts narrating his love story to Mrs.Braganza......."It was the first year of our college.And Amaira had taken admission in the middle of the year.That day I was sitting on my seat and was talking with my friends.Suddenly I heard a female voice from my behind.When I turnedaround to see the owner of the voice, it was none other than Amaira. I was awestruck seeing her.Her almond shape eyes, pink lips, long black hair which was gently waving to the middle of her back didn't let me blink my eyes.She was wearing ablack and maron color combined long top with a dark blue jeans.And yes,she was carrying a light brown color hand bag on her shoulder.And her.." He paused as he noticed that Mrs. Braganza smilingly at him."What's wrong?Why are you smiling,Mrs.Braganza?"He asked frowning at her.
Abhinav came back home from the hospital and directly entered into his room.He opened his wardrobe and took out his towel.Then taking off his shirt ,he stepped into the shower. He took a hot shower that refreshed hid body and mind.After taking a shower when he came out from the bathroom ,he saw Piyush(his cousin brother) .He is sitting in a bean bag and using his phone."Piyush!"Abhinav delighted with happiness seeing him.Hearing his voice Piyush looked up at him and instantly a smile formed on his lips."Bhai!"Piyush exclaimed as he rose from his sitting position and moved towards his brother.They hugged eachother."Piyush,How are you?And when did you come back from London?"Abhinav asked ,breaking the hug."I am all good,bhai.I came back yesterday.I'd even called you after coming home but it was switched off.""Oh! I'm s
"Sanjh,Did you call Abhi for lunch?"Nilima asked her , coming out from the kitchen with dishes in her hands ."Bade maa,I'd sent Piyush to bring him."Sanjh replied while arranging all the plates on dining table."Look,There they are"Sanjh exclaimed.Nilima followed her gaze and saw them coming down the stairs.When Piyush's eyes met with their gaze he showed themthumbs up as he managed to bring Abhinav.They came near the dining table."Bhai,Sit with me.After a long time we will eat together."Piyush said .Abhinav smiled as he pulled out a chair and sat on it.Nilima came near Abhinav and started serving foods on his plate."Mom, I'm sorry.I shouldn't have talked to you rudely that time.Please forgive me."Abhinav apologized for his earlier behaviour."No need to say sorry, son.I didn't mind ."She&nbs
Flashback continue........In Amaira's house.....Amaira was sleeping on her bed covering herself with the blanket completely .The room was slightly visible in dim light.Suddenly two people opened the door and sneaked into the room.They tiptoed to her bed ,making sure to not make a noise."What's the time,Sanjh?"The old man whispered to the girl next to him.He was holding a bunch of balloons with his both hands.The old man is Amaira's maternal grandfather.And the girl named Sanjh is the daughter of his son ,that means his granddaughter and Amaira's cousin sister."Only 1 min left.Get ready,dadu."Sanjh whispered back.She was holding a cake in her left hand and with her left hand ,she was trying to save the light up candles from the blowing wind."Lets count...10..9..8 ........4..3...2.
The same day at 4 pm...Amaira was in her room standing by the window and gazing outside blankly.She was lost in some thoughts when her best friend Swati entered into the room."Happy birthday,bestie"Swati wished, hugging her tightly."Thank you ,Swati"She hugged her back."So birthday girl,What's the plan for today?"Swati asked when they broke the hug."Nothing special !"Amaira replied."That's good then.Now get ready quickly"Swati said as she walked past her and moved towards Amaira's cupboard."Get ready?For what?"Amaira frowned at her."Cause we're going out."Swati replied as she opened her cupboard."But Why?"Amaira asked confusingly."Actually, I've to attend a party in the evening .And you are going to give me company there."Swati said while checki
"Manav,He is Abhinav,my friend.Infact he is the one who throw this party for me."Amaira said introducing Abhinav to him."Hi ,Abhinav"Manav said smilingly forwarding his hand to shakehand.Abhinav had no mood to do shake hand with him.But he did as a formality with a fake smile on his face."I must say you've arranged a great party for her."Manav said gazing around the decoration.Abhinav passed him a tight smile .He was getting jealous,seeing him so close with her."Amaira,You introduced him to me.But you still didn't introduce me to him"Manav said rolling his eyes at her."Ooh,yes.I forget..So sorry."Amaira hit the back of her head with a sheepish smile."Abhi,meet him
Abhinav's Pov:I returned home from the hospital at late night.Everyone has gone to sleep by then.After freshen up and changing my dress in trouser and t-shirt ,I sat with my laptop to do some office work.When I dozed off,I didn't even realise .My eyes opened only when the sun rays fall on my face.I yawned , stretched and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes .Then got out of the bed and went into the washroom to do my morning business .After freshen up I came out of the washroom and was about to step into the balcony to enjoy the morning horizon when a knock at the door drew my attention.It's Sanjh who is standing by the door with a mug of black coffee.In these 2 years she has taken good care of me.She is exactly like Amaira; caring and sensible .Piyush has made a right decision by marrying her.He can't get anyone better
"I had stopped talking to her ,kept avoiding her .And she was getting agitated by my changed behavior,I could feel it .But I had no other option but to maintain a distance from her as it was necessary for controlling my emotions.And It has become easier for me when our winter vacation has started.I'd thought in those days as I won't see her .So I would be able to forget her and move on completely.But then One day ........."Flashback:One day in the morning when Abhinav was washing his car in the lawn ,he heard a voice from his back."Hii ,Abhi."the voice said.Abhinav turned around to see the person and got surprised seeing Amaira standing in front of him.He was in a dilemma whether its his dream or reality.He blinked his eyes twice to clear his doubts and realised that it wasn't a dream."Hi,A
