Hey! but then boys are boys and Chris saw an opportunity on both the occasions.
One fine day of July 2008, second rain of the season knocked the town. Chris was driving downtown and on the way he slushed Jane at the bus stand.
Jane, beauty at its best. Sometimes the die caster (aka God) makes someone like Jane and thinks from today on this is the benchmark of perfection. A look of Jane would bring wings to life and make you feel happy for your entire life.
Jane screams to Chris' car 'God will shower hell on you, bugger'. The car stops some 25fts after the bus stand and Chris puts a reverse, comes back. Jane becomes nervous, the rains are heavy and she was alone on the bus stand. Chris opens the window pane and apologizes. Poor Chris he couldn't stop staring at her beauty but somehow he gained all his courage to offer her a lift. Jane was going to City Hospital, he dropped her and while returning he noticed Jane forgot her mobile at car's seat.
Chris, bugger, he saw an opportunity and next day he took an off from work and went to the hospital, admitted himself deliberately thinking Jane was a nurse. He went for a complete body check up. After that was done, he started his mission. Chris searched all over but could not find her. Tired and restless he came to his room and what he sees next was amazing, the room just in front of his room was Jane's.
They started seeing each other.... :-)
Chris use to come often to the hospital and take Jane out, on one such occasion they ran out of the hospital and went to the restaurant where Jane said jokingly that it was her birthday, the restaurant people celebrated it. Chris didn't know what to do, Jane said chill it is not my birthday damn it. All this cake thing is free so I ordered it. lolz.... Smart isn't it!!!!
On 20th September that year they went to watch a movie and Chris kissed Jane. Whow!!! he was nervous, Chris never felt that nervous before then why that feeling came all of a sudden.
He was surprised, he was in love. He got someone who he was searching since the beginning. He expressed his feeling after a week and the feeling was mutual. They both fell in love since then.
On 2nd October, Chris went to meet her and found that she was not there. He went to ask the doctor and the doctor told him she was not well. Chris insisted, 'what has happened to Jane doctor?'. Doctor said 'she has blood cancer, last stage and she has been knowing this since she has met him.' and the doctor told him something else too....
Chris was shattered, he didn't know how to face Jane with the smiling face. 'Oh lord, give me courage I want to make her life beautiful!' Chris asked to God. Next day, 3rd October 2008, he went to see Jane, she knew the doctor has told him everything. Jane asks 'we can live our lives separately if you want' to which Chris replies 'if I have done anything good in this relationship, please don't separate me from you now.', Chris runs away from her at that moment to control his outburst of emotions. On the hospital lobby, while he was thinking about Jane he felt some pain in his head. He knew what it was and took a pill.
Next day, Jane asked Chris to take her to her place so that they can see an old church near her house where Jane used to pray and play. They started early, the flight was on time. They reached at 10 in the morning of 6th October, it was so beautiful for Chris. He kept looking at the nature to which Jane said 'Come on, I don't have enough time to spend here' and she hit him casually because of which Chris fell and gosh it was a heavy punch, Chris went unconscious. He came back to life after a few seconds, took out a pill from his jacket and said 'You should enroll in WWE' to which they laughed. The return flight was at 5PM, while returning Jane showed some negative signs. Chris cried for help but it took 1 hour for the flight to land, that one hour was centuries old. He felt miserable to the extent that he thought he has lost her.
Flight landed at 6:30PM, Jane was carried on the ambulance and was rushed to the hospital.
Jane's death certificate reads the time as 7:06PM, 4th October 2008.
Chris could not see her last few seconds because he was unconscious and was taken care in the adjacent ward.
Some days went by, a mail came. It was a snap of Chris and Jane which they took at Jane's place. She had posted it before boarding the flight. At the back it said, read the letter I have buried near the Church where we planned to make our house.
17th October 2008, Chris went there to find the letter. He found it, the letter read,
Dear Chris,
I know you are sad and I cannot cure your sadness but I will be unhappy if I am the one who is making you sad. So please don't be.
I went to see the doctor 2nd October's evening. It is so difficult for each of us to pretend that nothing has happened. I knew all along that you had tumor in you brain and you had a month of life left but I wanted us to be happy the way it is. The day I hit you, I thought I lost you. That day I went to church and prayed to God, please take me before you so that when you come to me again you will be happy.
You have been a great support for my last days. Every girl would want a guy like you.
It was my birthday the day we freaked out at the restaurant :-)
Thank You Chris for all you did.
Now and Forever.
Jane
