Sameera's POV

Odum kalangal, undan odum ninaivugal, vazhi maarum payanangal, thodargiratheee

As the time passes by and the memories go with it and all the path of life constantly change, all of this just keeps happening on and on

Ithu than vazhkaiya, oru thunai than thevaya, manam yetho yennaiye ketkirathe

Is this what life is all about? Do I really need a companion ? My mind keeps questioning me

Kadhal inge ointhathu, kavidhai ondru mudinthathu, ithai thedum pothe tholainthathu anbe

A love just got silent, its like a poem which got completed, the feeling was lost even as it was searched for, oh my love...

Ithu sogam aanal oru sugam, nenjukule paravidum, naam pazhakiya kalam paravasam anbe... sugamtharume

Though it is sad, it spreads a warmth within, the warmth spreads all through my heart, the time we spent together was awesome, oh my love...the feelings are good...

Chris had dropped me and Emily at the hospital. The nurses took her to the radiotherapy ward and had asked me to wait till the procedure was completed. It had been almost an hour since they took her . So I searched for Emily's ward but I had come into the wrong room so I turned to leave when I bumped into someone near the door.

"Sorry, am really sorry !", I apologized to a man, who bent down to pick his phone.

He looked familiar and I knew why, when he stood up to face me.

What the hell ?

Aayush ?

My head spun because I was thunderstruck !

It was definitely Aayush !

"What..you...here..Aayush ..New York ?", I stuttered .

He looked confused too !

"Sameera !", he exclaimed.

I stood rooted to the spot.

"What are you doing in New York ?"

My eyes were wide open in shock !

I frowned and asked, "Are you real ?"

"Of course I am.", he chuckled softly.

"I..I..can't believe it !", I stammered ,"Aayush ?"

He nodded.

"How are you Sameera ?", he asked.

His voice was gentle.

"I am...am great !", I said faking a smile.

I controlled my urge to hug him an cry my heart out and tell him how much I missed him. But, he belonged to someone else !

I didn't know what the devil he was doing in New York . Maybe he had come after me. Maybe he knew about my past. No, It couldn't be. I panicked. What if he knew about Harish and me ?

Despite terrorizing about what he information he knew about me, I couldn't help admiring him even after all that had happened. He looked the same. His dark brown chocolate eyes and his smile just made me fall for him over and over again. Memories flashed thorough me like a fast forwarded movie ! All of our memories together.

No, bad of you Sameera ! He is someone else's husband. Stop drooling !, I scolded myself after which I came back to my senses.

"What about you ?", I asked .

"I am on a personal visit."

Was he hiding something ? No idea !

"How...is your wife ?", It killed me to ask him this, knowing that some other girl is his wife.

"She..she is very fine. Thank you ! How is your husband ?"

"Oh..he is great ! Great as always !".

I realized he didn't know my past. Thank goodness !

"What are you doing in New York , Aayush ? I..I thought you were in Germany !"

"Mmm...we have settled here. I found a job here after I completed my masters. What are you doing here ?", he put more emphasis on the word "you".

"We were fine for sometime but then I thought moving here would be great, my dream city, you know right ?"

"Yeah, yeah, I remember the good old days !", he smiled , looking at the floor.

It was an awkward silence. I kept tugging my bag nervously as to decide what to ask him. He had put his hands inside his pant pockets and stared at the floor.

"So, have you got kids ?", I asked enthusiastically.

I really wanted to see his child, a miniature version of Aayush would be awesome.

"Well, no, not yet. ", he said casually.

"Oh !", my face quickly lost brightness.

"Hey, what about you ?", he asked.

I was wondering whether to tell him about Emily, but he lived in New York so he might find out the truth any time sooner. So, I decided to tell him.

"Harish and I have adopted a girl baby !", I smiled.

"Hey, that's cool Sameera. Where is she ? Can I see her?", his face lightened up on hearing about Emily.

He suddenly received a call.

"Just a moment !", he excused himself and spoke.

While he was speaking, I suddenly realized that I was wearing the ring he gave me. I quickly removed it and put it inside my bag.

Phew ! If he had seen it, he would have come to know about my feelings for him.

It seemed as if he was speaking to his wife over the phone. His voice was strained and it was as if he tried to cut short every single sentence because I was there.

He hung up the call after a few seconds and smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, you were saying ?", he asked.

"My girl, Emily is undergoing treatment now. So, maybe next time you can meet her !"

"Oh, anything serious ?", he asked.

"Just mild fever. Nothing to worry !", another lie !

"Take care of her well. I am looking forward to meeting Emily and Harish !"

Shucks ! Where will I go for Harish ? I have to dig him up from the grave !, I thought. Damn, he is really determined to meet my dead husband .

"Yeah, we will meet sometime. I would like to meet your wife too !"

I wanted to see how "beautiful" his wife was. There was a pinch of jealousy in my heart, I couldn't help it. After all, I am still in love with Aayush ! Could she really make him happy as I did ? I spotted black circles around his eyes which meant he didn't have proper sleep. Couldn't she take care of him properly ? He is such a gem ! If ever I get my hands on her, I would slap her for not taking care of him !, anger just rushed through me.

Oh God ! Why did I meet him ?

"I'll bring her around.", he smiled.

Suddenly the door opened and a nurse came in.

"There you are ! I have searching all over for you !", she said.

"Is everything alright ?", I asked, rushing to her.

"The Doctor needs to talk to you ."

"I'll come along.", I said.

"Okay Aayush. Got to go ! Catch up later !", I said and rushed out without even waiting for his response.

I came out of the room and followed the nurse.

Our conversation played through my mind like a movie.

I turned back to look at the door and softly whispered, "I miss you !"

Aayush's POV

Iru vili unathu ,imaigalum unathu

Your eyelashes are yours, your eyebrows are yours

Kanavugal matum, enathae enathu

Just the dreams, are mine, and mine only

Naatkal neeluthae- nee engoe ponathum

The days lengthen, when you go off somewhere

En thandanai naan ingae vaalvathum

My punishment is to stay behind here and live

Orae nyabagam ,Unthan nyabagam

A remembrance, your remembrance

Kaadhal Kaayam neerum poethu thookam ingu aethu

When the wounds of love are healing, there is no sleep here

Orae nyabagam !

I thought I was hallucinating, so I shook my head to stop seeing imaginary stuff. But ,she was still there.

Maybe, I was going mad after all !

Damn ! I didn't get enough sleep maybe, I thought as I went forward to leave.

"What..you...here..Aayush ..New York ?", she spoke.

Did the hallucinatory image just speak to me ? Was it a ghost then ? No, Sameera is not dead !, I mentally slapped myself for having such ridiculous thoughts.

"Sameera !", I exclaimed .

It was definitely her !

"What are you doing in New York ?", I asked surprised.

Instead of answering , she frowned and asked, "Are you real ?"

"Of course I am.", I was amused at her question. Well, anyone would be in shock when they meet their ex half way across the globe.

"I..I..can't believe it !", she stammered ,"Aayush ?", she asked again.

I realized she was in shock as much as myself.

It was weird for her to be HERE, in NEW YORK, my mind went crazy.

I was in the hospital because I had nightmares about her. Now, she stood before me.

A million questions raced through my head ! I just didn't know which one to ask her first.

"How are you Sameera ?", I finally asked her. I maintained a calm tone to try to hide m surprise.

"I am...am great !", she smiled.

I got a weird feeling that she was hiding something. But, I didn't give much thought into it. She wouldn't lie to me.

Oh ! What a sweet smile ! I silently thanked God for making us meet here.

She seemed to thinking too because she took a while to ask me,

"What about you ?"

No way I was going to tell her that I was visiting the hospital because I kept having nightmares about her. She would think I am a freak ! Moreover she would ask why I dreamt of her when I am married to another woman.

"I am on a personal visit.", I gave a blunt reply.

"How... is your wife ?", she asked.

It gave me a sudden jolt in the heart. She doesn't know that am unmarried. I should maintain the lie else am busted.

"She..she is very fine. Thank you ! How is your husband ?"

"Oh..he is great ! Great as always !"

Duh ! Great as always ? That guy looked like a moron ! I was the one that gave Sam to him and he did a big show off during the wedding. I should have smashed his face right in front of everybody !

Bloody hell ! I hated Harish and my blood boiled thinking of Sam and him together .

"What are you doing in New York , Aayush ? I..I thought you were in Germany !", she asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"Mmm...we have settled here. I found a job here after I completed my masters. What are you doing here ?", I put more emphasis on the word "you".

I mean, seriously , why New York ?

"We were fine for sometime but then I thought moving here would be great, my dream city, you know right ?"

Oh right ! Sam with Harish in New York ! It should have been me ! I deeply regretted joining Sam with Him !

"Yeah, yeah, I remember the good old days !", I said smiling. I suddenly remembered the memories of my past and I looked down so that she wouldn't read the sadness on my face.

Neither of us spoke for a few minutes. It was getting awkward by every passing second. Maybe she too wondered as to ask me what for the next question.

"So, have you got kids ?"

Oh, there goes ! Come on Aayush, think of something !

"Well, no, not yet. ", I said without any emotion. Maybe I needed acting lessons !

"Oh !"

"Hey, what about you ?", I asked her.

I really wished she had a kid ! How sweet it would be !

She hesitated for a moment before saying,

"Harish and I have adopted a girl baby !"

Her face lit up happily when she said it.

Whoa ! A girl baby ! But why did they adopt ? I had no idea !

"Hey, that's cool Sameera. Where is she ? Can I see her?", I asked enthusiastically.

I really wanted to see her child. Adopted or not , I didn't care.

Suddenly , I received a call.

It was Ashok ! What did he want ? He was ruining the moment ! But, it could be something important.

I excused myself and spoke to him.

He started rambling about how he just discovered something on the internet about nightmares and how to cure them.

Damn ! I couldn't respond properly with Sam near me. I responded in short sentences as much possible and kept my voice low. I whispered that I would call him back and hung up the call.

I turned back to her and asked," Sorry, you were saying ?"

"My girl, Emily is undergoing treatment now. So, maybe next time you can meet her !"

Oh no ! What was wrong with her child ? I hoped it wasn't something dangerous !

"Oh, anything serious ?", I asked her shocked.

"Just mild fever. Nothing to worry !", she smiled.

Thank God !, I felt relieved .

"Take care of her well. I am looking forward to meeting Emily and Harish !"

"Yeah, we will meet sometime. I would like to meet your wife too !", she said slowly.

Where will I go for a wife ? I have to set someone up !

"I'll bring her around.", I smiled.

Oh God ! Now I have to search for one !

Just then, the door opened and a nurse came in.

"There you are ! I have searching all over for you !", she said to Sam.

"Is everything alright ?", Sam asked, rushing to her.

"The Doctor needs to talk to you ."

"I'll come along."

"Okay Aayush. Got to go ! Catch up later !", she told me and went out before even I could reply !

After she left, I said something silently ,which I should have told her before, "I miss you !"

..............................................................

So finally, Aayush and Sameera have met ! The sad part is, neither of them knows that they are single ! Will they come to know about it or will Chris come in between them ?
