Be with you.

"Don't stress out. It's fine", She said holding my hand.
"I don't want to die. I don't fucking want to die so fast.", My sad-angry reply.
I was being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Final stage said the doctors. I was thrown through the harsh chemotherapy sessions. My life had almost ended 6 months ago when cancer happened.
All I asked was for more life.
Dad died when I was 6 years old and mom passed away a few days later. I was brought up by my uncle.
Life was good. 6 figure salary, a loving girlfriend what else could a guy ask for. But no, it had to crumble down. "You'll be fine honey"
"You remember our first date?", i said lighting her up.
"Yes. You took me to a veg restaurant where truck drivers would eat", she said with a laughter. God, I'm going to miss that laugh. "But the paneer was good. And you were the one who wrote 'paneer lover' on your Tinder.", i said taunting her.
"Shut up asshole", she said and rested her head over my chest.
"You remember our first fight? When I was so angry that I left your place and walked away".
"I ran after you and we kissed on the middle of the road.", I said while kissing her forehead.
"And what was the song you sang", she asked.
"And I can't go on, just wanna be with you" I hummed waking up all the patients nearby.
"Yes yes. I want you to sing for me the same way you did that day", she said with an excitement with that of a 6 year old. I loved it.

The doctors came in said the visiting hours were over. Sonia kissed me and covered me up with the blanket. I could read her face. She wasn't happy but was pretending to be one. Her tears had dried up but she never cried in front of me.

"Come back soon",I said.
"I will."

Next morning when I woke up, I was surrounded by a bunch of people. All seemingly looking sad.
"What's the matter", I screamed.
"Sir, we're sorry to inform you but Sonia madam met with an accident last night while driving home. A truck ran over her car. She's no more."

/Few months later/
I was devastated after losing Sonia. They say you never kill a person by stabbing him. You kill a person, make him suffer by killing his loved ones.
The chemo is worked and I was miraculously cured of cancer.
She was the strength I needed to go through my bad times. We are always someone's strength, someone's pillar.

I went to our apartment. On opening the door a million memories flashed by. I sat down and replayed all of them. Each and every part was a sparkle. She never left me. Even through my bad times.

Hugged one of her photos and cried.
All  I could say was
" And I can't go on, just wanna be with you"
