There was only a month left for our marriage.. We were preparing our marriage in Indian ritual.. She liked those rituals a lot and if she liked it Then I loved it... It was always like that... That day I was sitting in my office doing my work.. I liked my work a lot..

    Sometimes my love (Aastha) would complain about it that I don''t give enough time to her.. But I couldn''t help it.. If I would keep my mind off her then it would be only when I was working... My iPhone ringed pulling me out of my thoughts... It was a call from Aastha.. My whole face lit up when I saw her name....

    Alok : " Hello Darling ! Missing me already?? " I said romantically

    Aastha :" Hello love, Yeah missing you very badly... come to meet me " She said copying me...

    Alok : "Believe me I really want to.. But there is lots of work to do.. can''t help it.. "

    Aastha : " Ohh ?? okk then .. Their was a surprise for hubby .. But if hubby doesn''t have time for me.. what can Aastha do ??"

    That worked on me .... She knows how to handle me ...I arched my eyebrow

    Alok : " what surprise love ???"

    Aastha : " Ohhh leave it .. You have very important work right ?? Do your work then ???" She asked pulling my leg..

    Alok : " Oh please Aastha .. Tell me baby .. You know I don''t like surprises much ..." I said impatiently

    Aastha : " Before that tell me one thing " She asked a hint of nervousness in her voice.. I am damn sure she is chewing on her bottom lip now.. It was her habit and whenever she''ll do that I''ll get a overwhelming urge to kiss those rose petal like lips...

    Alok : " What is it?? " I asked her coming out of my fantasies...

    Aastha : "Give me a honest answer okk?? Do you like kids ???"

    Alok : " Umm yeah I like kids .. But why are you asking that ?? " I asked her back .. not knowing where she was getting to...

    Aastha : " Would you like to have one of our own ?? ".. She asked ignoring my question ..

    Alok : " Of course I would ...We are going to make a entire cricket team of our kids ..."

    Aastha : "Well okk then ..the first member of our team is on his way ..." She said laughing through the phone...

    Alok : " Do you mean we are ??? No you are ?? No their is ?? " I was so happy that I was talking nonstop...

    Aastha : "Yes Alok I am pregnant ...We are going to have a baby soon.." She completed my sentences for me ...

    Alok : " Where are you ? Are you ok ?? Is my baby ok ? Did you visited the doctor ? Are you having pain anywhere ?" I started to bombard her with questions

    Aastha : " Calm down baby''s daddy .. Baby is fine .. I visited the doctor .. I am at the gate of City Hospital right now ..." she said chuckling

    Alok : " Ok wait for me over .. I am coming to take you.. Don''t go anywhere .."

    Aastha : "Ok I am waiting for you with our baby come soon "

    Alok : "I love you Aastha .. You don''t know how big gift you have given me ..." I said each and every word through my heart

    Aastha : "Love you too Alok ...Come soon .."

    With that I hung up the phone ...That time I thought ''this is the best day of my life ...'' But I was wrong ..

    I drove the car with the fastest speed I could manage without breaking rules .. I was like happiest person on earth .... It was like I hit a jackpot .. I was getting everything I loved .. I was going to marry my love ..

    She was my first love ... She became my everything .. And now to add more in it their was our baby .... I would love him .. I will cherish him like a Prince or if it is she then like princess .. I will give him everything he''ll before he asks ...

    I dreamed everything of our future in that sort drive to the hospital ... I was at the opposite side of hospital ... I stopped my car and called Aastha .. She received in the first ring .... I could see her walking out of the gate ...she was wearing a pink saree ... Her black hairs were falling down her back ..

    She was beautiful like always .. But today she was looking more beautiful ..I walked out of the car and told her to wait at the opposite side of the road .. I was going to get her from across the road .. I was crossing the road but in excitement she also started to cross the road .. She was focused on me ....

    Suddenly I heard the honking of the car I looked in that direction and the car was in a speed its breaks failed .. The driver was unable to control the car ..It was aiming at Aastha ... I screamed to her to get back to safety but she was anxious that she didn''t heard me ..

    " Aastha get back .. " I screamed .. But she didn''t heard me ... I was running like a madman to save her ...

    BBAAAMMM!!!

    ... " Nooooooooo~~~"

    She got hit by the car with force ... In just front of me .. I was 3 meters away from her.. she died in front of me ...

    When I reached her staggering on my feet..I saw a pool of blood beneath her head...She was lifeless but I couldn''t admit it.. She was alive just 5 mins ago.. I talked to her.. She just told me that a new life was present inside her..

    We were going to have a baby... I saw her beautiful face full of joy just now... How could I except it??With my shaking hands I lifted her from the ground placing her head in my ??p

    " Aastha wake up Aastha .. look I am here ...You look really beautiful you know??Don''t play dead with me ... You said you will wait for me .. You said our baby is waiting for me .. The baby is alright OK.. you ate alright .. Wake up Aastha ..

    You have to wake up .. We have to make a cricket team remember ?? You promised me you will marry me remember ?? We are going to marry in a month Aastha ,.. Don''t joke with me OK.. I hate this types of jokes... You can''t do this now you can''t go back on your words ... I won''t let you go .. Speak up Please Pleaseeeee ~~..

    I promise I will give more time to you and our baby ... Do You know I dreamed of our future with this baby ?? Look baby how your mommy tortures me .. Bad mommy doesn''t talk to daddy ....She doesn''t speak to me .... Aasthaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~Wake up Aasthaaa don''t leave me like this ... Please I beg you ... "

    I was crying...I was screaming at her hugging her in the middle of road large crowd of people around me ... But she didn''t woke up ... She left me alone..... She left me taking my everything with her.. My baby ... My happiness ,,, My smile ... My love ... My life ...

    End of Alok''s point of view ;

    That day the loving and caring person lost his d?s?r? of existence ..

    After her funeral he locked himself in his dark room .. He started drinking .. His happiest life became the worst in front of his eyes .. His parents tried everything to make him come out of his grievance but he couldn''t .. He would rarely come out of his room .. Will eat only when forced to .. He became a living dead person ... He would never utter a single word from his mouth .. Even if it did the word would be '' Aastha'' ....

    His parents started worrying about him .. They thought he might try to kill himself ... Their companies stock prizes started to fall .. The Kulkarni Industries were on the verge of going bankrupt .... One day his Dad came up with a idea .. They knew very well that Alok was very dedicated to his work ... If they somehow make him start to work again ..

    He might become normal again .. They convinced him to work in the company by telling him the current situation of the company ...

    This company was developed by his Grandfather whom he loved really dearly.. After their death this company was the only thing which would make him feel his presence .. So he loved the company dearly .. Not wanting to loose the company too he started working in it ....
