The short split



"HOW COULD YOU FORGET!" She yelled. "I am sorry, nothing was intentional. I would take care next time." He apologized. She took a deep breath and turned towards him. She hugged him and said, "I fear there will be no next time." He broke the hug and said "What do you mean?" She hesitatingly, "It's over!"

He took his wallet and car keys. And the next moment she heard the door slam.

She locked herself. And lying on the couch, she thought to herself, this is not what I wanted. Why did he do this. How can he forget. I think it's better to close this book. Before I read all the chapters. She dint knew when she slept off. And she woke up with a headache. Coffee was all she needed.

"Please take the first sip. You add the sweetness which I need." He said with a puppy face.
She blushed.

The hot mug in her hand broke her flashback. She was weeping now. Can't I forgive him? She questioned herself. No, it's over. She answered herself.

She was looking for her phone all over. And she accidently broke the photo frame kept on the side table. It was their best picture of all time, she got it framed on his last birthday.
Which brought her an another flashback. She heard her landline ringing. "Hello, is this Ms. Diya?".  The caller asked. "Yes. Whose this?" "I am calling from the city hospital, Mr. Adit met with an accident. We found this number in his Emergency Contact. Can you please rush to the hospital?"She said, "Anh..Ye..yes..yes. I am coming. I am coming. Please take care of him."

She took a taxi, and this time it was a loop of memories running in flashback. 

He knew I am careless with my cell phone. That is why he gave our landline number. And I blamed his memory. She thought.

She reached the hospital. She hurriedly rushed outside ICU. She did not have the guts to see him because it was her fault. 

Meanwhile, the doctor came to her. "Ms. Diya? He is out of danger now. But we fear that he might be suffering from temporary or permanent amnesia. I am sorry. But we can confirm it only when he is conscious. Anesthesia has made him asleep. You can meet him when we shift him to the ward."

HOW COULD YOU FORGET! Her own voice echoed.

Her tears dried off. And she slept off on the hospital chair. She was very weak handle so many things without him.

"Mam, Mam.." The nurse woke her up. "You can meet the patient. We have shifted him to the ward and he may regain consciousness any moment."

She went ahead to the room with all left over courage. A doctor and nurse were in the room. 

He regained consciousness and saw the doctor. "Hello Mr. Adit, don't worry, you are fine. You met with a small accident." 

Diya was standing in the corner, were Adit could not see him. She was not ready to face him.

"Adit I want to ask you a few questions." Doctor to Adit.
Doctor: "What is your full name?"
Adit: "Adit Guin"
Doctor: "What is your profession?"
Adit: "Photographer"
Doctor: With a smile, "Good. Last question, do you know her?" pointing towards Diya this time.
Diya comes forward.
Adit: This time he smiles, "She is the love of my life."

Diya starts sobbing. The Doctor and nurse leaves the room.

Diya holds his hand. Kisses it. 

"You dint forget." With tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.
