Morning sunlight filled the hospital room.
Warm.
Peaceful.
Kabir slowly opened his eyes.
This time…
Without pain.
Without fear.
And just like before—
The first thing he saw…
Was her.
Anaya.
Sleeping beside him.
Her head resting near his hand.
Her fingers still holding him…
As if she was afraid he might disappear.
Kabir smiled softly.
"She stayed…"
Carefully…
He moved his hand.
Brushing a strand of hair away from her face.
Anaya stirred slightly.
Then slowly opened her eyes.
For a moment…
She just looked at him.
Then—
Her eyes filled with tears.
"You're okay…" she whispered.
Kabir nodded weakly.
"I told you… I won't leave."
Anaya immediately hugged him.
Carefully.
Not wanting to hurt him.
"Don't do that again…" she said, her voice shaking.
Kabir smiled faintly.
"Only if you promise to stay."
She pulled back slightly.
Looking into his eyes.
"I'm not going anywhere," she said softly.
Silence.
But this silence was warm.
Comfortable.
Days passed.
Kabir slowly recovered.
And Anaya…
Never left his side.
She fed him.
Gave him medicine.
Argued with him when he tried to act strong.
"You're still injured!" she scolded.
Kabir smirked.
"And you're still bossy."
She glared at him.
But smiled the next second.
For the first time—
Kabir allowed someone to take care of him.
And he liked it.
One evening—
Kabir was discharged.
They returned home.
But this time…
The house felt different.
Warmer.
Full.
Alive.
Anaya walked into the garden.
The same place where everything started changing.
She smiled softly.
Suddenly—
Kabir held her hand.
She turned.
His expression was serious.
But his eyes…
Soft.
"Anaya…"
Her heart started beating faster.
Kabir took a step closer.
"I've lived my whole life in darkness," he said.
She stayed silent.
Listening.
"I pushed people away…"
"I hurt you…"
His voice softened.
"But you still stayed."
Anaya's eyes filled with emotion.
Kabir slowly went down on one knee.
Her breath stopped.
"I don't have a perfect life to give you," he said.
"But I can give you my everything."
His eyes locked with hers.
"My every breath… my every fight… my every tomorrow…"
He held her hand gently.
"Will you stay with me… forever?"
Tears rolled down Anaya's cheeks.
Her heart felt full.
Complete.
"Yes…" she whispered.
Kabir smiled.
"For real?" he asked softly.
She nodded.
This time stronger.
"Yes, Kabir…"
"I'll stay…"
"Forever."
Kabir stood up.
Pulled her into his arms.
Holding her tightly.
As if he finally found…
Home.
And Anaya…
Closed her eyes.
Because for the first time—
She wasn't scared of losing him.
Because now—
They chose each other.
Always.
