Jay-Jay's POV
It had been an hour since everyone had left except Keifer. He looked at me, I looked back.
"Are you okay ?" I asked.
" The guilt is eating me up alive, I should have done more to protect you " He said.
"It's ok. The main thing is that I am alive and in about a week everything will be normal again." I said.
There were tears in his eyes as he came towards me and held my hand.
"Keifer….It'll be okay don't put all the blame on yourself and don't overthink it. This is not your fault! Please don't cry !!!"
" Jay…..I'm so damn sorry "
"Keifer please I forgive you "
"Thank you Jay"
He kneeled down and kissed my hand. After that we talked about the hundreds of meals that he had bought to wake me up. I could see a small smile breaking out on his face. I felt grateful that I had improved his mood but from the inside he was dying of sorrow and guilt.
Keifer's POV
I could not bare seeing Jay in this condition. It was killing me. She was trying to cheer me up but there was this sharp weakness in her voice that made me feel guilt for the present and fear for the future…..What if Ram came back and killed her for good. It wasn't safe here anymore we have to resort to moving out unless...unless I fight for her.
"Keifer, what are we going to do?"
" I'll fight for you…..!" I said.
Jay-Jay's POV
When he said that his hand was shaking and there was a stutter in his voice. I tightened my grip on his hand and we made eye contact for a solid moment. Between us there wasn't a single dry eye. Tears flooded our eyes and ran down our faces. He stood up wiped his tears and came to me and wiped my face. He kissed my forehead and went back to holding my hand. His grip was hard, like he never wanted to let go.
"Jay....I promise I will never leave you." He said.
I looked into his eyes.
" Keifer…..I will try not to meddle into the wrong people's business and won't let you down….Ever I promise."
"And one more thing Keifer…. I'm not mad at you….I still love you."
" Thank you Jay I love you to" He said.
We laughed and we cried. We made promises and plans for when I leave the hospital.
