OS: Insieme 4 ever in our heart

 Dis is an One Shot (OS) on a fictional sketch.

Hope its easy to envision it as u read ...

Pick up da phone pick up da phone
She looked up at da wall clock playing hide n seek around 3:00am
She knew it was time to make dat call.
Crossing her fingers as he heard da bell ring on da other end
da ring he had given her lay between her crossed fingers

Far across da Atlantic, a cell rang.
The ringtone whispered softly *Its not goodbye*
He ran across da room, half dazed.
He had been waiting for dis ringtone for da last 12 months, 1 year too long.
Skidding on da hardwood floor, he lifted da cell to his ear on da 4th bell.
His heartbeat racing, and wid pent up emotions said Hello

She heard his Hello. knowing he had run to pick up da call.
She knew wot came next. She had vowed never to call.
She knew wot happens if dis call was placed.
She had written da rules. All he had done was abide by dem.
Taking a deep breath, she whispered bak *Hey*

He stared at da cell for a full 3 minutes after he had hung up.
why now?? why today?? was his imagination playing a trick on him again??
He checked da Call Log of his cell jus to make sure a call had been recorded as incoming. But den again, only one call cud activate da ringtone dat was assigned.
She had assigned it herself.

He placed a call to his travel agent and booked his flight bk home.
Home. Home was wer he belonged. Home was wer she was.
Home was wer he needed to be. Home was wer he had met her first.

Memories are very finicky.
we blame people to trouble us.
we blame circumstance to be our worst enemy.
but in reality its our memories dat hurt us da most.

He sat down, on da chair. suddenly he felt numb.
He had been booked on a late nite flight. He had 7 hrs b4 he cud see her.
Der she wud be standing at da airport.
No words wud be exchanged. He jus wanted to hug her tight.
Jus embrace her. HER, His lifeline, once again.

Da day was gonna be a long one. He went into his bedroom, and opened his closet.
As expected a pile of clothes fell off his disorganised closet.
He smiled. If she was here, she wud scold him. She had alwaz been very articulate.
She had been a lot more den jus articulate.
Like da clothes, Memories started tumbling in his mind.

Freezing in da cold blast of da eastern shore,
he had opened da glass door to a Barista for a cup of koffee
Unlike da weather outside he was greeted wid da brightest ray of sunshine at da counter.

* Hey* She had stood der all smiles asking him, *Can i help you ??*
widout a doubt, cheekily he had replied, *Ease mah life*

She smiled sum more. *A koffee wud do dat for mere $3.99*
He had grinned. Luckily for him, she hadna taken offence at his remark.

Later dat day, after closeup time, she had found him standing waiting for her.
Da stars wer shining on him, for luckily for him, once again she had smiled.

He had walked her home. She had allowed it.
Dat winter, it became their routine.
He liked her and She maintained he was a gud friend.

Summer came and went in a blink of an eye.
She became his addiction. It was a blah day for him, if de didna meet in da eve
She graduated at da top of her class. He stood in da convocation ceremony
Wid a degree in hand She had waved bak to him in da crowd.
His grin had grown bigger wid pride.

Dat nite as de sat on her porch, he asked her out officially,
If she wud consider being his girlfriend.
For da third time in his life, she smiled again.
And dat was summer for him, Da brightest, Da happiest one.

She joined a multinational company as a trainee.
He was promoted as an *A*sst *M*anager in a *R*eputed Bank.
His future looked rosy. Dats wot he had said to himself a gazillion times.

Her positive *Live life as it comes* attitude was da reason, he smiled a lot dat year.
She was alwaz der to soak up his tiredness at da end of da day.
a joke here, a phrase der, an incident dat had touched her heart dat day.
she sumhow knew jus wot to say to ease his otherwise hectic lifestyle.
He never knew if it was fact or fiction, but she knew wot made him tick.
Life cudna be any any better den dis.

Maybe da upper gods had said, U dude have a test to pass !!
coming bk home one eve, she got hit by a drunk driver.
dat call to his cell brought his life to a stand still.
His mad dash to da hospital broke all his earlier driving records.
Da doctors calm response was da only fink dat calmed his heart.
She was fine. He failed to thank da upper gods as he watched her sleeping calmly in da white room

She was discharged da next day wid a reminder dat she needs to check in wid da doc for da next couple of weeks. and offcourse she was given a hell lot of prescription medication to recover.
He saw her smiling. He smiled back. She was safe.
Dropping her off at her parents place, he bade her Gudbye.
She replied bak Seeya
He smiled... sorry, i know i know... *Seeyaa*
He reminded himself she never liked da work gudbye.
Gudbye for her was alwaz da end.
He remembered seeing her standing der at da door waving him wid a cheerful smile.
He had waved bk wid a smile n a wink.

His smile crashed wen he was promoted as a Bank Manager to an overseas location across da Atlantic.
She encouraged him to take da job. citing dat der future needed dat stability
Wid a bleak mind, he had accepted.
His first trip home was at Christmas. and he had looked forward to it wid Hearts in his eyes.

He felt her distanced at da airport itself. but he wrote it off as a figment of his imagination. 
We need to talk. dat was how it all started.
She broke his heart wen she uttered da *Dis is not working* line
Here he was waiting to propose a wedding to her, and she was breaking off wid him.

Every single waking moment on dat 1 week trip, he tried to work dis out.
The last line she uttered was etched in his heart forever.
*Dun let dis memory ruin ur future*
Wid a resigned defeat, he asked, will u take care of urself??
knowing her dislike for any medication he had added will u take ur medications as prescribed?? will you call me if u ever, any time, any day need me ??
She had looked at him straight into his eyes. and nodded positively.
He cud swear on his love dat her eyes looked wet.

She had stood on her porch waving him as he drove off to da airport da next day.
Dat was Feb 2010. 26th, He remembered da date.

*Fasten ur seatbelt, we are geared for landing*
The onflight announcement brought him bak to da present.

He watched da Immigration officer stamp da date of arrival 26 Feb 2011
Standing wid da trolley n his luggage,
He watched da red symbol of + on da SwissAir plane.
Every single person off his flight had left da airport.
She had not come. Hailing a taxi, he gave her address as destination.

Standing outside her door, he noticed her red Prius in da driveway.
so many questions. he waited for her to open da door wid abated breath.
a minute later he rang da bell 3 times consecutively. Still no response.
He tried da handle and da door opened up.
why was da door unlocked he pondered.
walking in da door he saw her sitting in her leather recliner.
The Tv was buzzing wid her fav show on Home and Garden channel
She seemed to have dozed off. he smiled. Typical of her !!

He walked in and she opened her eyes. NO, she wasna sleeping.
Once again she smiled. dats wen he realised, she had lost a lot of weight
Wid efforts he saw her stand up.
*You Came* he heard her
Ofcourse i came. and wots wrong wid you. why do u look a wreck !!
He cudna help shouting at her.
She smiled at him once again. A memory he wud NEVER forget.

she didna answer back as he saw her take a deep breath.
He felt da exact moment she exclaimed, *Hey*
Den she crumbled to da floor rite in fronto his wide eyes.
He ran to her screaming out her name.
wots wrong. wots happening. oh god. lemme call ur doc.
He knew da doc's number was on her speed dial.
He himself had registered da doc's cell number on da speed-dial since her accident.

A mess himself now wid panic pushing his limits, he speed-dialed da number.
Da doc replied before da second bell started.
Nina ?? wots wrong??
Doc !! Nina jus collasped. she seems awake but unable to speak
wot do i do?? Help.

Open her medicine cabinet and give her da gel pill from da RED bottle.
She is suppose to take it everyday since her accident.
Its her lifeline. Give her a second one if she doesna respond within 3 minutes.
Lemme send 911 emergency jus incase. Oh she knew dis coming. 
Nina wot have u done.  i shudna have agreed to dis. Dis is bad.

Wot did da doc mean ?? jus how bad?? he kept wondering as he ran to her kitchen cabinet wer he knew she kept medications

SHOCK is a situation dat hits you, wen life throws its worst curveball at yaa.
for wen he opened dat cabinet, he saw RED.
yuP !! An entire years supply of RED bottles
and an entire years supply of prescribed medication
both, which stood der like soldiers in a robotic sci-fi George Lucas film
and NONE of dem wer even touched.
He cud see all of dem wer filled upto da brim wid da seals still intact.
She had NEVER taken her prescribed medication since last year.

he ran bak to her in auto-motion grabbing a RED bottle.
She was breathless on da sofa, wer he had layed her.
Ninaaaaaa... why...

He grabbed da bottle of water from da coffee table wer she must have left it earlier.
Lifting her head off da couch tenderly. he started giving her water n da pill.
If only he had been here before.
If only he had been der to scold her every time she missed taking her medication
If only was a very STRONG word. his life rested on dis one *If Only*

She stopped him midway. and whispered sumfink.
he cudna hear, so he dropped his ear close.
She said it again... dis time wid da smile on her face.
Her eyes showed no regrets. She was HOME. in his ARMs.

He screamed loudly, NOOO. Dun u dare say dat Nina Dun u dare say DAT. 
Not Now Not Ever, U hear dat Nina !!
but she never heard him.
jus as da Medic 911 team came into her driveway headed by her doc.

Da doc slowly walked towards dem,
He knew wot came next. He had hoped it never came to dis.
She had written da rules. All he had done was abide by dem.
Taking a deep breath, Da doc placed a hand on his drooping shoulders
*Dis is for you, she had asked me to give it to you in such a situation*

It was a white plain envelope. He opened it wid numb fingers as da medical team worked on her
It was a letter. She had written it.

DATED: Feb 26 2010.
Mah Dear Life'
Hehe. yes u r mah life. since da day u came into mah Barista and Uttered *Ease Mah Life*
I fink everyone shud keep a diary. and everyday u live write out jus 3 words in it.

*Ease mah life*

Aint dat a nicest way to say, thanxxX you mah life for being da best companion.

I know u have loads of questions to ask.
Since u r reading dis letter, its a given dat i dun have a way to reply bk
Every girl imagines having a future wid da love of her life. in a white picket fenced home wid children and veggie gardens and a pet or two.

Mah dream was to end up in an Ultra modern penthouse apt
in da tallest building of da city.
wen u walked into da store dat winter eve, u sketched mah dream in pencil.
wen u first took me to ur home, i saw color being added to mah dream.
Da upper gods smiled upon me wen u asked me to become ur girlfriend.
So wot if de took me for a spin in dis lifetime.
So wot if mah dream was shortlived, i have no regrets.
So wot if de thot you have a better future widout me.
I will alwaz be der wid you, in ur heart.
and da upper Gods canna do anyfink abt DAT part of da deal.

Dun blame mah doc. It was mah wish to keep dis jus between him and me.
why bother anyone wen i was destined to live short.
why shud i make u sacrifice anyfink jus to be around me 24/7

I want you to live ur life to da fullest.
I wish to see you successful as da best Banker dis world has ever seen.
I know u will understand me. u alwaz have.

Every single day since Feb 2010,
i am wishing you a very happy successful future.

*Insieme* for ever in our heart'
Live and Remember, its never *Gudbye* 

wen u have started on a *Hey*

io come un albero nudo senza te
senza foglie e radici ormai
abbandonata così
per rinascere mi servi qui
non c'è una cosa che non ricordi noi
in questa casa perduta ormai
mentre la neve va giù
è quasi Natale e tu non ci sei più

E mi manchi amore mio
tu mi manchi come quando cerco Dio
e in assenza di te
io ti vorrei per dirti che
tu mi manchi amore mio
il dolore è forte come un lungo addio
e l'assenza di te
è un vuoto dentro me

Alwaz was and Alwaz will remain'
ur Babe, Nina.
