50. EPILOGUE

~It's not always a happy end; we learn to live with it.~

ADAH

Four years were not easy to pass after I lost literally everything in my life. I had nothing in my hand anymore.

My parents were inside, my sister was inside, unwantedly I was stumbled to take the hospital's work under progress as being the only successor out. Everyone even blame me and talk behind me that I conspired everything so that I can have this position.

When I just literally left my parent for years. They say I conspired with my ex-fiance for a game and he died because of me.

I feel no less responsible for all there accusations.

Someone will always have something to say.

If I would left this country and threw the work in hands of politicians, this would have become another worthless government hospital, they would have named me a worthless daughter.

Now when I made sure that it's half charity and half under my vision it will work fine. They found my past to blame me.

It's funny, yet I can't do much about it.

I came out of the hospital's patio to an open lawn, where my sight rested on two figures playing foot ball. "Aadarsh is a nice kid, but his heart is week, and a complete surveillance he what he requires, so I and him stay at the hospital all time. I have lost enough and no matter how this kid appeared in my life or how people see him. He is my son. Whispers says, everyone believes he is Adarsh's child. I don't know, I never tried either explaining or telling. What they think matters as zero.

And there was Rahaan, who never left my side through all the sick things I went through, from coping to Adarsh's death, to my parents, the childbirth as well. He have been more then a good friend. And the affliction of love I had for him, just grew wider.

But with my messed up past and my current burdensome situation, I don't know it I want to be that jerk, who he can't say no because I am pitiful.

Nor do I wanna loose him.

He turned to see me, when I walked towards them, and sat on my knees at Aadarsh's height. "You shouldn't run so much, you will get sick." I told him, when he nodded, and went over the bench to sit.

"Thanks for playing with him Rahaan," I told him, standing when he offered me his hand.

"I love playing with him it's not a formality. My siblings have kids too you know," as usual kind words.

He watched the kid playing with his phone now, and he turned to me. "He asked me if I was his father." As soon as the words left his mouth I felt a sting in my heart.

Someday, he will realise that he doesn't have a father. When everyone have one. And I don't know how am I going to handle that. "I think you should start dating. Let the past rest, Adah." He said when I stared down at the floor, processing his words and aching with thoughts.

He slid his fingers in mine, "I know you are not ready, but now we can start considering more then friendship but less then dating. Something in between?" He said, and my head shot up.

Like we always had, more then strangers but less then friends.

Something in between.
