Doctor Drake? At this time? I asked to myself while picking up the call. The environment was already tensed due to Nova's disappearance and now I've been called by her doctor.

The relation had to be normal. Either Nova is in the hospital right now or there's an emergency. Okay. Both things mean the same.

Whatever.

I picked up the call and brought it to my ear, balancing the phone to the side of my neck, I moved towards the parking.

"Hello Sir. Is it Ivaan speaking?", Drake's assistance asked me. His voice was normal though.

"Yes. It's Ivaan here."

"That's great. Let me forward the call to doctor Drake."

Till that time I had already settled inside the car, and my hands were running through the steering wheel.
It was already dark and the car lights were searching all along the road for Nova.

"Ivaan. I am sorry to inform you this late but we'll have to continue the treatment as soon as possible. As per the reports of the last three days, I could see that there's no improvement in my patient. I thought that's better to inform you as early as possible.", he told me and I was nodding with his each word.

For the first time. I wasn't scared for this. Maybe because I had been prepared all way, and Nova's confidence just hyped me a lot more.

"Yes sir. I'll make sure to be tomorrow, till the time you can make arrangements. Thank you sir.", I replied.

Doctor Drake had been our family doctor since I was a child. I remember how I used to go with my grandfather for his regular check ups and how nicely he used to great me.

After the death of my grandfather, he had been posted to the biggest hospital in the capital and since then I hadn't met him.

When we got to know about Nova's condition. I was panic stricken, but then I was relieved when I heard that doctor Drake will be helping us with the treatment.

He had been a very successful cardiologist and had dealt with very experienced cases throughout his life and being our family doctor he had been like home to us in our difficult times. I was glad that he gave so much attention to my wife even in his buzy schedule.

I kept the phone in the next seat.

Wait? Nova hadn't been there? It just struck my mind that Nova isn't in the hospital. Where the fuck is she.

I picked up the phone again from my left hand while my right hand was still on the steering wheel and my eyes focussed on the road. I dialled her no. Again for the 15th time and it was still unreachable.

Dammit. What the hell is wrong with her.

I rushed through the car and everyone could make up that I was driving very roughly. I didn't care about anything at this moment rather than finding my sweet heart.

She should have atleast informed me. I told myself again but I had no option right now.

I was searching through the almost empty roads when I saw a lean figure walking up the road with two heavy bags of 'God knows what' and a red face that looked like a pumpkin.

A cute pumpkin though. I was smiling at her constantly. She hadn't noticed me yet but she was looking drastically cute. Her small frame was drenched with sweat and the redness of her cheeks made my smile a lot more wider.

She must have went to the grocery store to buy ingredients for making Ryan's special dishes.

A few seconds ago, she was getting on my nerves but now, all my rage has just vanished seeing this cute soul walking in front of me.

I love her too much to be angry with her.

My focus wasn't on the road. It was just her. My love. The person whom I am spending the life with. Who has given me the greatest experiences of all. Who's been with me through thick and thin, and the person who is walking up the road like a fat tomato.

She isn't fat though.

The car came to a hault with a jerk and I skipped a beat. Something hard hit behind the car which I couldn't decipher at the moment and the world paused for a second. I wasn't able to hear anything other than the pulsing silence. My head dropped to the ground with a loud thud and my eyes seemed blurry with each passing second. It was difficult to understand everything that was happening around me. It was difficult to keep my eyes open and my limbs were too tired to be moved, it seemed that my body had become numb for some time. There wasn't anything else that my ears could hear other than her voice.

The voice of my love calling out my name in utter panick. I wanted to tell her that I am fine. I wanted to scold her for stressing out right now. I wanted to tell her to take care of her self but my lips didn't move a bit. The ambulance siren seemed to come closer and closer and soon her blurry figure was running behind me.

I wanted to wipe her tears at that moment. I wanted to embrace her, to take care of her, to hold her in my arms. I wanted to tell her that it's tomorrow that you need to be prepared about.

I could feel her soft touch on my body, my blurry eyes could see the soft tears trailing down her cheeks. I had the deep urge to wipe them off but my hand dropped to a soft cushion and I drowned into the blank space.
