Seven Days

SEVEN DAYS

"Seven days"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I heard the doctor speaking to her brother"
I heard two woman speaking. They are not really speaking with sad tone actually.It was more like they were gossiping eagerly. I wanted to hear more, but I am afraid of what I might hear. I looked out the city, it was about the time for sun to set in the west. I heard her voice in my mind telling "Look at that Achu, Every evening the sun falls down at the west but it never fails to get up again at the east, why can't we all be like that always?". She always knows the correct words to tell me, at the right time. I don't know how did she bring everything to seven days like this. I could not stand there anymore. I decided to leave the place and I hurried to the elevator. I pressed the button, the door opened, and there stepped out Sam. OMG, it is her brother Samuel. He looked at me with the same shock that I had on my face.
"Hello Sam" I greeted him.
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to see her"
"Did you see her?"
"No"
"I bet your ego did not allow it, and you are now running away, like always?" He ended up with a stern smile in his face.
"I don't know in which room she is....er.." I mumbled for words.
"Been dying? Is that the word you can't tell out of your mouth?" He starred at me sharply. I couldn't look at him. He signed me to follow him. I followed him, as he moved towards the corridor. Samuel is the eldest of all in her world. She never says no to his words. 

He took me to a room, it was not her room, I did not find that as a room for a patient to be admitted though. I saw a girl coming through a door inside the room, she resembles like Mia, her best friend all time. But Mia had short hair, and this girl had a long one, she did not see me standing at the doorway. She went straight to Sam and was telling something, then Sam signalized his eyes towards me. She turned to me and removed her glasses, stood with a whole shock on her face. She did not speak a word, but just kept on looking at me suspiciously and I found that it is Mia for sure, totally in a different look.
" Hey Mia " I said with a weird tone. She never acknowledged me. She turned to Sam "Why did you bring him here Sam? "
" I did not, he was here already in the corridor"
She turned to me and saw me like I should start talking. I adjusted my throat and started to tell why I came to hospital, but the door behind me opened and hit on my leg, I tripped and was about to fall but the guy came through that door rushed me and caught me, held me up, "Hey are you okay man? You should stand always a little away from the door" . He did not see my face, I tried to stand properly and turned to him. 
Shit !!! It is Stewart, Sam's younger brother. God I am gonna die now. As my mind was running with few visual stunts that might happen soon, there came a fist punch from him. I think he broke my tooth. He again raised his arm to beat me, but Sam came in between us and pushed him back on the door. 
"Enough Stu, it is not place to fight" Sam raised his voice.
"Leave me Sam, I will kill this bastard, he deserves to die" Stu yelled like an hungry animal. Mia helped me with tissue, I was bleeding from my mouth.
After a few minutes of struggle, the room was now with dead silence and two more people, one is Mia's husband Patrick and the other is her friend Jrusha. I never thought I would meet them all so soon. Patrick broke the silence "Sam take him to see her"
Stu, "No he don't deserve that, he should be beaten to death and we should feed him to dogs". I froze by hearing his words. "Enough Stu, we will just get over with this whole crap thing, Sam just take him to see her" Patrick said it in a firm voice and ended the discussion.

After an hour, Sam and I, was walking on the corridor, and the exit of the hospital came. Sam, "Just a minute, Can you do a help for me? us? her?" 
"Sure I would"
"Please never come here again, we don't want to see your face anymore" he left me at the gate and walked inside. I stood there thinking about how the hell all this happened. I couldn't think anything but her, she was full of life always. She know what to do, when to do, how to do. I started walking on the pavement, my mind was in still that hour back incident. The room was with low lighting, a sofa set on a corner, a small table near to that, full of machines with weird sounds beeping from it and a huge bed. I could not see her on the bed, she was covered with so much wires and blankets. I was afraid to go near the bed, my hands started to tremble. I gathered all the courage and moved closer, her skin is so pale, no flesh, I touched her hand, no feel, she did not hold my hand back as she used to. I saw her chest moving , she is breathing, alive but not as alive she used to  be. Tears rolled down the cheeks, I rubbed them. Her voice in my mind came like a flash " Achu, everything is for a good reason, Just stay strong" Good? tell me it is for whose good, you are laying down here like a dead man, for whose good you are scaring the hell out of people who love you. "Ouch" I hit on a pole, thinking about her always takes me away from the world. I walked almost to a deserted road. I decided to call my friend, took my mobile and swiped the lockscreen, there she was smiling so beautifully, not only with her lips but also with her eyes. Yeah that is my she, her, girl, lady and pretty much everything of me. And she is Katherine Pennington, my Kate.
