The break up


“I ‘m sorry”, the Doctor surrendered.

Nurses started dismantling the life support. He waited breathlessly for the heartbeat graph to fall flat. Finally, she would be all his.

She saw her tall dark man. She had spent sleepless nights with him, crying, confronting, judging if their relationship would ever work out. It was hatred to begin with. But slowly, she started trusting him. She knew he could provide her with peace like none other.

Whilst she was preparing to move out of the hospital with him, she heard a deep male voice calling her name.

She started breathing again, while Death stood there watching their four years of courtship collapse.
