All that happens in love! (Part ii)

The world around Kavya had changed totally! She had started loving each and every thing around her… everything appeared so pleasant like never before. Just the thought of Sahil would bring a huge smile on her lips, sparkle in her eyes and a glow on her face!! Before meeting Sahil, she lived in a world where she hated guys like anything… but now, her entire world revolved around a single guy!! The girl who believed that true love, promises of staying with each other till last breath, planning for the future, etc existed only in Yash Chopra’s movies and Mills & Boons’ novels… but now, she herself was experiencing all this!!

 Sahil taught her the meaning of love. He made her believe that her life was a fairytale, she was a princess and he, her prince charming. Though he had many flings in the past, but it was the first time he was so serious about his relationship. He always made her feel special. He was mad for her. He could spend hours looking at his princess. He could do anything to see her smile. He had decided that he’ll spend his entire life with Kavya. Everything was going on better than anyone expected… until 7^th of Feb 2008!

That morning Sahil arrived at the office earlier than usual. Kavya’s face beamed as she saw her lover boy waiting for her!!

“Hey hi…” Kavya smiled. Her smile vanished soon when she saw Sahil’s face.  His eyes were red as if he hadn’t slept the previous night and his face appeared very pale! “Shona…what happened to you?? you fine na??”

“Kavya… I …I …”, Sahil’s voice was shaking. Kavya’s heart knew something was horribly wrong with him ‘coz Sahil wasn’t among those people who panicked on small issues. “Kavya listen to me very carefully…”

“I am listening…go on!”Sahil sighed. “One of my friend’s boyfriend had gone to donate blood to one of his relatives yesterday. But there the doctors found that he was HIV positive.” “What??? Ohhh gosh!! Poor guy! But…whom are you talking about?” “Kavya let me complete first…” “Alright!”

“Doctors have said that he has about one year left! My friend and her boyfriend love each other a lot. They cant live without each other. I just want your suggestion… Should my friend be with him or should she leave him right now?”

“She should obviously be with him till his last breath… when two people are in a relationship, they are not just for the good times. Even if the guy doesn’t have much time left, the girl should definitely stay by his side and shower all her love on him! Now are you going to tell me who is that friend of yours?”

Sahil took out a piece of paper and handed it over to Kavya. “Whats this?”, Kavya was puzzled. She couldn’t understand wat was going on! She unfolded the paper. It appeared to be a prescription or report kind of thing. It read…

HIV- POSITIVE.

On top of the paper, Kavya read something that made her mind go blank…

Patient’s name: SAHIL KASHYAP

She read it again and again. “This cant be! No! there must be some misunderstanding! This report cant be true!! Sahil say something please… this isn’t true na?? this repot can’t be yours! Nothing can happen to you!!”

“Kavya this report is mine. And its true! They have referred me to APOLLO. I am leaving for delhi tomorrow with mum and dad!

Kavya fainted in Sahil’s arms. When she regained her consciousness, she was lying in the nearby nursing home with Sahil sitting next to her, holding her hand. She caught his sleeves and started crying “Sahil, please tell me that it was a nightmare and nothing has happened to you…”. “It wasn’t a nightmare Kavya…but its not true either!

“what??????????”

“The report was fake. M perfectly fine. Just wanted to tease you a bit!!” Sahil grinned.

“Tease me a bit?? Sahil u almost gave me a heart attack and you are saying a bit?????” Kavya was extremely annoyed with Sahil’s deadly prank but at the same time she was very happy that it was just a prank!!

“I hate you Sahil kashyap!”

“And I love you Kavya Verma! And I also know how madly u love me…thanks to this HIV prank!”

Before Kavya could scold him more, Sahil brought his face close to hers and kissed her!!
