Stranger on the Street..............part3

"Don't Go Adina! Don't Go!" Vihaan was crying over Adina's body. "Don't Leave me alone.I don't know how to live without you.Take me with you....." Vihaan was pleading unstoppably,but Adina was already gone.Gone for good.Gone to a place where she could rest,i peace,but without Vihaan,this time.

Vihaan woke up with a scream and he could feel himself sweating and shivering at the same time.It was 3 in the morning.And he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep for the next couple of nights.3 years that Adina was dead,but still Vihaan could not move on.Or maybe he didn't want to.He still dreamed of her.Many a times they were good dreams,dreams of his and Adina's past,where he would wake up n still feel the smell of her hair,or her tickle,the sound of her laughter,like flowing water,and majorly,her lying besides him......He would sigh and remember her saying "We could have spent so many wonderful years together,if you wouldn't have left,like this"

But,today,was no night of good dreams.He had been through this,number of times.Three years of sleeplessness and restlessness and still the ghosts of Adina's death continued to haunt Vihaan.It was like there was no way on earth,he could ever break this cycle.It was not that he hadn't tried.He changed his home,his country,his profession,but nothing seemed to work!
He shifted from India to Thailand,running away from past,and from numerous relatives advising him to remarry.He knew he couldn't.There could be no one else.And it would be wrong on his part to ruin someone else's life for he would always be searching Adina in her.

With Adina,Vihaan's life had been a fairy-tale.It was like Adina had found him and rescued him from his world of loneliness and taught him to live and smile only to leave him alone again,this time,much worse.With Adina gone,Vihaan's happiness had vanished.There was no hope,no laughter and no meaning to his life anymore.He was just dragging himself through his chores determined to be dead and return to Adina.

And Adina knew that Vihaan wouldn't be able to digest the news of her having blood cancer let alone the news that she had only few weeks left to live.Her cancer was diagnosed at the last stage where nothing could be done.And all she wished to do was to keep Vihaan happy till she could,cuz she knew what would happen when she's gone.
