" A Tumor will Fill The Hole in My Heart"
Mohsin
As the morning rays of the sun reached my eyelids, I quivered. I felt a weight on my chest. I opened my eyes with much effort just to be welcomed by the most heavenly view of my life; something I can only wish for lifetime. She hidden herself between my head and neck, her arms wrapped tightly around my waist, and her legs entangled with mine. To be honest this feeling was pleasantly overwhelming but the voice in my head mocked me.
"Don't betray her, you don't know how long you will be breathing." The broken heart revolted, “You will forever fight for the love you have for this girl in your arms." Once again I gave into the heart's desire. Unfortunately it didn’t last long, knowing how awkward the situation might be later; I slowly untangled my legs and unwrapped her arms, and carefully rested her head on the pillow making sure she doesn't get up. As I got up to leave something stopped me, her peaceful angelic face with a sly smile on her lips. Not able to control myself I pressed my lips on her forehead giving her a light peck and then quickly got up to leave the room, while taking an one last glance at her.

He didn't know Shivangi was already up the moment he placed her head on pillow. She touched her forehead slowly just to realize what just happened. Blush crept on her cheeks with millions of butterflies dancing inside her stomach.
She was more than sure now that he loved her, but his weird behaviour wasn't familiar to her. She felt he was lost somewhere, and she needed to figure out where he was stuck. She remembered the nightmare she had the night before, but jerked away those frightful thoughts. She got up from the bed to start a new day with a new hope. After brushing her teeth, she ran downstairs to be welcomed by a warm smile of her mother. She served her tea but Shivi was curiously looking around for that one person, who was no where to be seen.
"Mohsin went out half an hour ago. He had some urgent work." Her mother instantly cleared her doubt. Shivi looked at her surprised.
"I know you were going to ask about him, so I replied before hand" she said it casually while continuing to spread the butter onto the toast.
"These mothers..." Shivi wondered.
After having her breakfast, Shivi went to her room to take a bath, and get ready for college. Shivi really didn't care about how she looked for college, neither she wanted to attract boys nor she cared about what they thought about her because her heart had already decided on that one man, and her aim was to make her family proud. She was simple and an elegant girl who was friendly with a lot of pain buried in her heart. She packed her bag and went downstairs hoping to see Mohsin once before leaving but to her dismay, he didn't return. With a heavy heart she made her way out of the house, but right at that moment he was marching with speed from one corner of a garden to the other with worry lines on his forehead. As soon as he saw her he came running.
"Shivi, We have to go and pick up your reports they are here, I just got the call. "
He exhaled. Shivi looked at him with
fear in her eyes, and he quickly hugged her.
"Its going to be okay" he assured her as well as himself. Only he knew how scared he was.
"Is your arm still paining?" he asked while gently stroking her hair.
"Yeah, A little but its okay" She broke the hug to meet his eyes, "scared eyes,” as if he was again hiding something but she decided not to dwell on it.
"We will consult the doctor about it, I informed aunty that we are going to the hospital." He told her while still holding her hand. These kind of gestures of him were hard for her to ignore these days.
"Lets go shivi" he smiled and held her other hand and started walking while shivi just nodded.
They sat in the car. On their way to the hospital, both of them were occasionally stealing glances at each other but then both decided to concentrate on controlling themselves.

It was getting difficult to hide things from her with each passing day, I know she is confused with all these sudden events. After realising the love I have for her for four years its hard not to be affectionate towards her, and hiding about my health from her was also taking a toll on me.
In the morning as suggested by the doctor I went for a blood test. As I was returning, I got a call about shivi's reports and they needed to meet us urgently. I could feel the concern in the voice. My heart sank every minute thinking of the worst possible outcome but keeping myself calm and optimistic, I went to talk to aunty and informed her about everything. Aunty's main concern, apart from shivi's report, was me keeping the secret about my condition from shivi. According to her, if she got to know later she will be broken. I am still in a dilemma on how to tell her this. I am frightened about what her reports might state, as well as what my reports would say. I exhausted myself thinking about every possibility but I believed on universe, it won't shatter my hopes and dreams. Or will it? only time will tell.
"I prefer on leaving the things that is not on my hands to time, as it heals everyone." I glanced at shivi once more who was looking out the window with expressionless face, her serene smile was gone from her face and I couldn't bring it back either for now.

As they reached the hospital, they made their way to the doctor's office with mohsin supporting shivi both physically and mentally. He tightly gripped her shoulders giving her the support she needed, and at the same time providing her with warmth by walking close to her.
She was scared, her heartbeat was raising as they entered the doctor’s office. The doctor welcomed them with a stern and disappointed face.
"Good morning" she greeted them with a plain smile and they smiled back at her.
"So Miss Joshi, I won't keep you confused any longer" she said looking concern. Shivangi nodded and Mohsin tried to maintain adrenaline rushing through his blood. He tightly held Shivangi's hand giving her and himself support.
"You have a tumor in your breast" She revealed the harsh reality, and their world came shattering down. The grip of Mohsin's hand on shivi's loosened, and Shivi's face became shocked and expressionless.
He looked at the doctor once again who had a disappointed face and then at Shivangi whose tears were already flowing down. His heart wasn't beating but he still took her in for a side hug and grabbed her tightly but her face remained expressionless.
"Why always his loved ones?” he wondered, " Why always him" he questioned his fate. The words echoed in his head "You are a curse Mohsin, a mistake." He started to doubt himself for actually being cursed. For her, its like someone snatched the ground beneath her feet, she didn't know how to react to this shocking news.
"Calm down sir, ma'am " The doctor finally spoke bringing them out of the shock and into the reality. Both of them had serious expression on their face.
"How much did it progress?" Mohsin asked nervously. “It can be cured? right?" shivi finally exhaled while still in shock to utter a word yet gained the strength to do so.
"For now , its not that big. We can operate on it and remove it but we have to check whether or not it is cancerous with a biopsy. " she explained and we nodded. “I'll inform you with the details .. Here are some medications you have to take" Shivangi reluctantly took the prescriptions.
"Will it be alright?" Shivangi asked the doctor in shattering voice.
"I guarantee it will be" doctor smiled a little.." Don't worry" she assured nodding.
They got up and left the office with the reports. Mohsin again supported Shivangi and held her hand.

As soon as we reached , Shivangi hugged me tightly and cried out loud and I hugged her back reciprocating her hug with the same intensity. Trying to save her in my arms to prevent all the problems and sadness to reach her, but It already had reached her. And I was unable to do anything in order to stop it.
"Why did this happen?!" she cried loudly and I had no answer to her question.
"Shivi , don't cry. everything will be fine! we will be alright" I tried calming her down but nothing worked she kept crying.
I cupped her face to wipe her tears but new one made their way out of her eyes
" I promise Shivangi , nothing will happen to you" he said with determination.
"Mumma " she muttered " she won't be able to handle this, papa he will break down knowing this .. They already lost bhai."
She continued crying.
" Shhh..." I stopped her " no one is loosing you .. untill your mohsin is here no one will" I assured her looking deep into her eyes.
"What if I die? What if the cancer has already start to spread Inside it..." She continued with her doubts. I had no other option without much fighting with my head, my heart overtook my body. I sealed my lips with her’s. Making her forget everything.
No fear, no regrets, no holding back , our love will give us strength. I will fight for her, she will fight for me and her family”. In that way "Her tumor will fill the hole in my heart." Maybe that was my heart's missing piece.
The puzzle will be solved and we will finally live our dreams peacefully after overcoming this nightmare.
Untill then we will fight till death against it. It was our dream stuck in a nightmare.
