Why we hurt each other? The climax.
I opened my eyes and could hear whispering of people around me. My left hand was grasped by someone and I could feel warm drops of water on my wrist. I tried to see the face, unfortunately the sedatives were so heavy that I could hardly make out the outline of that person.

'Everything will be fine, I told you right nothing could separate me from you.Now quickly get well so that I can.....'

I know this voice.

My mother was packing my bags.The doctor was talking to my Dad. I tried to get up when a hand supported me and helped me to stand.

I know this touch.

I turned back and he hugged me tightly. I felt I am reborn.Before I tried to open my mouth to speak, I could feel the warmth of his lips on mine. I want this to go on and on.

The doctor interrupted this wonderful feeling and asked me to get rest properly. Now, the doctor didn't know that my cure is here right in front of me.

After a couple of months I was back to my normal self in terms of mental and physical health. Till the day I got discharged from hospital till today he visited me every day with a bunch of roses and a new song was played by him in his mouth organ.

We were in my bedroom and as usual I was sitting on his lap my head resting on his shoulder I asked him why he had left me.
Holding my hands and covering them under his he answered , "I never left you, could never have. You were not keeping well so your parents asked me to stay away from you thinking that my presence might stress you. " He then looked away from me and slowly murmured " I hurt you I know, I know I had given you a lot of pain" saying this he took me in his arms and whispered in my ears "we hurt each other because we love each other. I think this is all that defines our relationship. The love we bore which is free from bias, you before I, acceptance in every aspect irrespective of what happened. Even though you have done some crime it might hurt for a while however, the love will never fade."

He then said those golden words"Come what may, I love you Meera, I am yours and you are mine. Yes, I think this is the reason we hurt each other and I hope today we understood this fact."

He pulled me up and we went outside in the balcony. Did I mention it was raining heavily , we got drenched and next what happened well, let it be a secret.
