"You meant the world to me, I should have protected you."He said in a trembling voice and teary eyes.
"It's ok. It's not your fault. It was all mine ." She tried to calm him.
"No, I should have been with you at that critical moment. You needed me the most at that time but I regret I was not there with you." He held her hands in his hands and then kissed his hands.
"Just leave it. I don't know what to say." She said and a tear fell from her left eye.
"It kills me every time I see you lying there struggling with the pain." He said and wiped her tear with his fingers.
"So, stop seeing me." She shouted.
"What?" He was stunned by her answer.
"I said stop seeing me. Don't visit me." She again said in a husky voice while she closed her eyes and clenched her fists.
"What did you say? You know its not possible. Right?" He was in awe.
"If you want to have a healthy mind and most importantly if you don't want to disturb my mental health, please stop visiting me. It feels like someone is piercing my heart whenever I hear your regrets because it makes me feel that I was not able to save my self nor my loved ones." She broke in tears.
"Hey listen..Listen to me..I didn't mean to hurt you..and neither I'm here to make you remember that accident nor to burden you..I just want to make you feel good and to tell you that no matter what happens I will be by your side." He said and kissed her head.
" But that accident was because of me..It was me who didn't act cautiously...I was driving too fast and now look I lost our baby and I don't know what to do now.."She was weeping.
" Hey...it was destined to happen like this..What If I was there instead if you..Just forget everything that happened.." He said to comfort her.
" This is the problem that I can't forget. Everything keeps coming again and again..Each and every person who visits me make me remember everything..I don't know what to do!!." She said with a little sad smile on her face.
" Well...You have to accept the fact that what was to happen has happened.. regret is useless..A huge life is ahead of you..Learn to forgive yourself...Not everyone who visits you is here to make you remember your past..May be they see themselves in you..May be they themselves have done something in the past that they can't forget..Just calm down..and take a step ahead to live your life. There is much more than you think..Ok.." He tried to motivate her.
" But.." She was about to say something when he interrupted her.
" You did that intentionally?" He asked.
"No." She replied.
" Then there is no need to regret. It was just a mistake. Forgive yourself and move on. Just be watchful next time.." He said and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Ok " She smiled.
Her smile made his heart cheerful. He knew that now she will be okay. At the same time she was thinking he is the one who can make her forget everything and move forward.
