Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: He loved her.

Ok! with this the agenda of this meeting is over. If there is any other issue mention it otherwise this meeting will offically end here.

There is one.

Oh! what is the issue madam??

well it's about Aahilya.

The clan leader, Yujen Joshua frowned at her word and spoke,"I know you love her as much as you love our son but honey she has already made her choice and our son agreed upon it. There's no need to talk about her again".

It's not about that , she, Aahilya got into an accident and it's quite serious. I want to meet her.

What? How??

Yujen was surprised. In his memory Aahilya always had been a smart child, perhaps way too smart for her age. But she was bright and loving so everybody loved her including him. He heavily doted upon her. So, he felt at loss when she decided to end the engagement. As a clan leader he has a greater sense of pride so, perhaps due to his pride he declared that no clan member shall be allowed to have any contact with her.

Ethan called me. He is with her right now.

Yujen watched as his wife put on calm face with her shoulder slightly trembling. She looked as if she wanted to rush to the hospital.

Fine ! I will accompany you!!

Ethan was still rubbing her cold hand but her hand grew colder and colder. Despite his attempt to keep her warm she began to look more and more pale. He panicked and before he knew, she was in his arms leaning against him. Perhaps due to his body warmth he saw her eyelashes trembling. He was overjoyed. He saw her slowly open her eyes. His heart began to beat faster and faster. She opened her eyes and frowned. Upon seeing her frown his heart suddenly calmed down.

That's right what was i expecting??

Now, i am nobody to you.

Are you frowning because i am not the person you were expecting??

But, your lover he didnot even call you at all. Your accident is all over the news but he hasnot come visit you at all.

How can you love such a heartless person?

why him ? why not me??

Over these past few years he had been thinking a lot lot about their past. He had realized he had always been in love with her. He wanted to protect her. But now it was too late. She was in love with someone else. He wanted to be by her side. Even now as she lay in his arms he wished she would only look at him, only think about him. Before he knew streams of tears silently fell down. Aahilya who was in his arms stared at him. Upon feeling her gaze he opened his mouth wanting to say something but she smiled at him. He frozed upon seeing her smile. He never saw her smile that brightly again after her parents death. At that moment her eyes seemed , seemed so pure, full of gratitude and at peace. She slowly closed her eyes and never opened it ever again. As he watched her closing her eyes he felt he lost a part of him.His heart was in pain. He felt like he couldnot breath at all.

Please don't leave.

You don't have to love me at all just stay by my side.

Stay by my side so i can protect you.

It's okay you can love him. I won't complain at all.

Just don't leave this world.

As long as i can see you that's enough.

please don't go!!!!

Ahh! She is gone.

I can never see her again.

He stared at her for a long time holding her in his arms and bowed down to plant a light kiss upon her lips. His eyes were red and full of tears. His shoulders were trembling. And that was the scene Indira, Yujen and other clan member saw as they arrived.

Ethan loved Aahilya. Everybody knew that except for himself. He never realized how his eyes would always search for her. How his eyes would soften upon seeing her. Now, he realized that but he was late for she has already left this world behind.
