Hina bit her lip as she tried to keep her visage impassive and her emotions at bay.
Mathew smiled his always charming smile and hugged her tightly as he whispered in her ear a verse of the poem he had given her in Ajit.
Lazy Lady
Listen closely
Do not leave me, do not lose me
Better you
Love me
Better you
long me
For I am yours
Deeply and truly
Hina's hands curled into balls and she would have fallen to her knees in grief had it not been that he was still holding her tightly.
"I will see you in a bit," he said managing to mask his sadness with a smile.
"I love you," she said with a sob and that was all it took for tears to stream down his face.
He could not lose her… he could not lose her like he had lost Leila… Life could not be so cruel… could it?
"I love you too," he said kissing her before she broke the hug and left without a backward glance. Thus it was that she was not able to see the raw pain that showed in every line of his face.
