Monami kept staring at him while he finished his glass of water literally shaking...She sighs and waits for him to calm down a little...✨

Monami - It's okay Karan, take a deep breath and calm down

Karan breaths lightly and speaks while clearing his throat in a low voice...✨

Karan - I'm o.k.a.y 

Monami sighs...✨

Monami - Tell me what triggered you??

He looks away trying to dodge her question...✨

Karan - Umm nothing, bola toh...I'm fine

She knew ki vo ni bolega, so she stops forcing and tries to move forward...❤️

Monami - Fine...So where were we last time?? Hmm, Where were u from?? Delhi...Noted...So going forward...What made you come here??

Karan - Here as in here or Deolali??

Monami - Deolali

Karan - Told you before...To train civilians

Monami - Hmm...So, What made you join the Army / Special forces in the first place?? Did u always wanted to be a soldier?? Or were your Mom or dad in the Army too??

Her question made him quite for a second but he finally spoke...✨

Karan - Umm no actually...I come from a very normal family...Aisa koi soldier banne ka bachpan se sapna toh ni tha...Mom dad too were very normal job people... Banking mein the dono but unfortunately they died in a car crash when I was in 9th standard...So vo toh ni the Army mein

Monami - Ohh...I'm soo sorry about them

Karan - It's okay...Unhe toh gye huye bhi bahot saal ho chuke hai...Bhabhi ne bhtt hadd tak unki kami puri ki hai...Maa ki specially

Monami smiled lightly and nodded...❤️

Monami - So What made you join the Army??

He sighed loudly getting uncomfortable again...💔

Karan - Umm bhaiya... Actually my elder brother was in Army too...Unhi ki vajah se or unhi ko dekhke, I wanted to be a soldier...That made Me and Faizi join Army and he only trained us ❤️💔

His face suddenly fell talking about Param and he started looking down...💔

Monami - Umm was?? You said he was in the Army?? He ret..ired??

She asks hesitantly in a low tone...💔

Karan - Umm No...He..He got Martyred some years ago

He said looking down trying to hide his tears... Monami finally has started to get why he is the way he is...💔

Monami - I'm really sorry

She said trying hard to speak while she too has a lump in her throat...It's the first time in her life that she's kinda getting attached to a patient and the trauma they came with...It's affecting her too and she's slowing loosing herself to this, to him...❤️💔

Karan smiled lightly trying to hide his tears...💔

Karan - Do.n't be

Monami - Umm kya hua tha??

Karan started taking deep breaths and straightened his back as tears finally made their way through his eyes and fell on his jeans...💔

Karan - Umm I..I d..on't w..anna talk about it

Monami - Kab tak Karan?? You're hurting yourself

He looks away and quickly wiped off his tears...💔

Karan - Please...I really don't wanna talk about it 

She sighed and closed her diary...✨

Monami - Okay 

Soon the bell rang too and Karan too got up sighing, fixing his shirt...✨

Monami - So?? Next Sunday it is then 

She said and forwarded her hand...He too shaked hand with her...✨

Karan - Umm actually not next Sunday

Monami - Umm...Is there any problem?? Mr. Shergill please...Don't even think of leaving this in the middle

Karan smiled lightly,

Karan - No...It's not that

Monami stopped mid way,

Karan - Actually I'm going on a mission...So...

Monami - Ohhh

Karan - Yeahh

He said lightly taking his hand back from her grip, she too looked down and left his hand smiling awkwardly...😂❤️

Monami - Umm soo next Monday - Tuesday??

Karan - Umm actually...Depends kab vapis aau...I'm leaving on Saturday but yeah I'll let you know when I'm back and if I'm back 😅

Monami threw a death glare at him to which he lightly chuckled...🥺❤️

Monami - Don't talk like that... Obviously you'll be back, Major ❤️

She said with a little smile but deep down she had no idea why her heart was sinking suddenly...She has never felt this way before...❤️💔

Karan smiled and nodded...✨

Karan - Anyway...I'll get back to you once I'm back...Khair bolna toh ye tab chahiye tha jab ye sessions complete ho jaate but still I wanna say this if I don't get this chance in the future

Monami made a puppy face...🥺

Monami - Karan 🥺😒

Karan - Please

She sighs and lets him continue...❤️💔

Karan - See I never believed in such therapies n all...May be I still don't...I donno but still thank you soo much for whatever you did ab tak and for just trying to listen from an open heart

Monami smiled lightly as she fought her tears...❤️💔

Monami - You'll be okay... We'll get through this

She said looking straight in his eyes and she didn't even realised that she said we instead of you...🥺❤️

Karan - So yeah...Thank you Doc...It was a pleasure meeting you

Finally a tear fell from her eyes as she knows he's kinda saying his goodbyes if he doesn't come back and if they don't get to meet again and that broke something little in her heart, in her...🥺💔

Monami - I'll see you soon Major

Karan smiled and nodded...✨

Karan - Ba - bye

As he turned to leave, Monami called him...❤️

Monami - Karan

He slightly turned back...❤️

Karan - Hmm??

Monami - Just take care and 

She stopped mid way,

Karan - And??

Monami - B..e Safe 

She said in a low voice as a lump was choking her from her throat...💔

Karan - (He sighed looking at the tears in her eyes) I will be 

Monami sighed and smiled lightly,

Monami - I'll wait for you on your next session Mr. Shergill

Karan blushed lightly...❤️

Karan - Karan

Monami chuckled as a tear lightly fell off her eyes...❤️💔

Monami - Yeaahhh

Karan - Okayyy

They shared an eye contact way too long for people who aren't even friends yet...❤️

Karan - You too take care of yourself

Monami - Hmm

Finally he turned and left while Monami watched his retreating figure with a sinking heart...❤️💔

Monami - Stay safe please 🥺❤️

She murmurs to herself and says a little prayer as she sits down on her chair trying to calm herself down...❤️💔
