I ran towards her when the bullet hit her.
This can't happen, that bullet was meant for me not for her.

I caught her before her body can hit the ground.
"Ishu." These words leave my mouth as a whisper after seeing the blood oozing out from the place where the bullet just hit her.

"Why did you do that? Huh? That bullet was meant for me not for you." I cupped her cheek as tears came into my eyes.

She didn't say anything just touch my face and look at me as if she is locking it's image in her mind.

"I love you, please take care." These were the words that she whispered beforr she went limp in my arms and her eyes get closed.

"Ishu..Ishu...you have to wake up baby." I patted her cheeks getting worried.
"ISHU...PLEASE WAKE UP." I shouted as tears finally pour out from my eyes.

But she didn't say any word. She didn't open her eyes.

"Ishu..I swear if this is some kind of joke...I'm gonna get so mad at you. Please wake up, love." I pleaded but still nothing affect her.

"Sir, we should take mam to the hospital now." The police officer said and soon an ambulance came.

They also hand cuffed Siddharth and took him to the police station.
All the time in our way to the hospital, I just stared at her while holding her hand praying to god to please let her survive.

I don't want anything right now. I just want her with me. I wouldn't be able to live if anything happened to her. She is the light of my life. And how am I suppose to live with darkness. She's the best part of my life. She's my life. My heart. And how can a person live without their heart?

Soon we reached the hospital and they lay her on a stretcher.
Doctors and nurses came to check her vitals and started taking her in operation theater.

"Mr. Singhania, you have to wait outside." The nurse told me.
"B-but my wife is there. How can i leave her there." I shouted running a hand in my hairs but she again pleaded me to stay outside.

At last, I just sat outside with my head on my fists and my elbows on my knees.

I don't know what to do. My hands are shaking right now while a fear is settled in my heart. A fear of losing her. It's shocking how in the past I was scared of nothing. But now, the things have changed. After she came into my life, my life has taken a whole 180° turn. She has taught me what being happy feels like, what living really means, and what no more. But now, even after having all the power, money and fame, I'm helpless because I can't do anything to save her life.

It's been 3 hours since I'm sitting here outside of the operation theater. My hands are shaking. What will happen to me if something happen to her? What will I tell our family?
I ran a hand on my face to calm myself down but nothing happen.
My eyes are filled with tears.
