And the line beeped. Leaving him behind alone in the world filled with mysteries, she left to become his guardian angel. He stood there numb in front of the doctor who had come forward to deliver the heart wrenching news with nothing but void in not only his eyes but also his heart.

She left. She broke her promise.

Thoughts like this did roam in his head but again who was he to blame? Her or her almighty, who took her away from him. One who always had hope in him was the one who ended it in mere seconds! Whyy? He wanted to scream at the doctors but he could hear his angel softly whispering in his ears, “My love, it isn't his fault, it's no one's fault,” he didn't have the guts to open his mouth after his girl denied him to.

He just had some questions. How was he supposed to live without her? How was he supposed to survive without her? How was he supposed to breathe without her? How was he supposed to live life when he had lost his life to her?

“You are supposed to live life not only for yourself now, but also for me. You are supposed to live life to the fullest for both of us, my love.

Remember to visit different beaches every year. Remember to go for a trek every year. Remember to water plants in our garden everyday. Remember to fall in love with yourself every single second, cause no matter what, I always have loved you and always will. I am not asking you to move on, my baby. I am asking you to find your happiness, be it by reaching the great heights in business or by seeing every sunrise as a new day begins. Just remember, it's a new day everyday, no matter what, your heart is still beating and now it's not just yours but mine too.

Remember to be calm and remember to play guitar. You are a rockstar, my rockstar …. maybe for others you could be the worst singer, but always remember that same voice was the most soothing voice which helped me to sleep every night when I had nightmares. Remember to go for walks at midnight and feel the air blow on your face cause that would be me saying hello to you now.

I may be selfish, but never forget me. Never replace me. Never find someone to fill my void cause I am always there, with you , beside you, behind you and ahead of you in every journey you take. I am here helping you, protecting you and loving you all at once. I am sorry we had to separate but remember it's just my body going away, my soul is always with you,” he heard her answer while all he wanted to do was hug her and cage her in his arms not allowing her to go.

“How could you think that I would replace you! How could I think of you to be a selfish person to ask me not to fall in love again. How could you think I would ever fall in love again, when I am still head over heels in love with her even after 12 years of marriage and lifetime of knowing you. I was, is and will always be yours because falling out of love for me was impossible even if you aren't there beside her.

I will live life, for both of us. Beaches wouldn't be the same as I wouldn't have you beside me holding my hand, but those calming waves will remind me of you. Every sunrise will be special, reminding me of the beautiful mornings we had shared in the last 12 years. Treks would be difficult without having you to compete with me, but those lush green trees and flowers will remind me of your fresh, flowery, fragrance.

I will of course love myself but I will love you more each and every day cause no matter what this heart beating here is not mine anymore, you are the one that controlled it back then and now too. You rule this heart and as cheesy as it might sound and make you cringe, this heart, this crown will forever be yours to adorn and yours to belong.

I will remember to play the guitar but just in front of you, like always it will be our secret. I will forever be your rockstar. I promise to reach new heights but be humble to my surroundings because this humbleness will remind me of you every single day.

And not to forget, I will meet you everyday, as the wind blows on my face, as the rain pours down, as the sun rises, as the birds chirp, till the stars shine and sun rises. I love you, my maddo.”

She had given him his answers and asked him to move forward and he stood there with his frame in his hand promising her “you may have gone but you haven't left my soul. I move forward in life but with your memories carved on my heart, I move forward with you, my love.”

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care, I'm not scared of love
'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker
Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?

Hey guys,

I ain't back to publishing regularly but this one-shot really made me come here and post it even if ‘Our Serene Love’ is still incomplete. I would be completing that after 25th. Pakka. One exam done, 5 more to go.

I have many silent readers but only for this chapter please do comment and tell me what you really felt. This story is just my opinion, i couldn't stop myself due to a book I read. For me, forever is till the end. Forever doesn't mean falling in love again after his/her soulmate dies, it's just my theory, it would differ from person to person and that's the reason i want to know your thoughts. I have nothing against moving on, I just take moving on as slightly different. It varies for each person.

I hope you liked the one shot! Thank you ❤️

Stay safe,
Love, Aarohi ✨
