51. Missing Her

" Sir I just can't join back for now, I have already submitted my husbands medical reports and I have been on an unpaid leave and I believe that's something I am allowed to " Shehnaaz spoke on the phone, it was a call from Military Office and they were asking her to join back it's almost two months she has been on a leave.

" Please understand Doctor you have been on a leave for almost two months and I am afraid the contract you signed says that Unpaid leaves could be credited for maximum three months if the person on service is not the one suffering " The person from the other end spoke

" That's still a month " Shehnaaz exclaimed

" But we have a war broke out on the Indochina border and I am afraid but you need to be there handling the cardio cases, we really need you to join back " The person spoke
" Go to Selaiyur, join and then go on a TD, I am afraid we cannot do anything much here " He added

" Can I.... Can I just look into what I can do and let you know by tomorrow, please arrange someone for a day and send me the images I can handle the situation from here till then " Shehnaaz sighed

Don't let a soldier die on you Shehnaaz, Don't let there be another Shehnaaz who will have to cry for her father all her life

She remembered her father's last words to her and she sighed, this was what her life meant to her and here she was sacrificing everything because Sidharth needed her more than anything at that time.
But now there was a... She needed to be there on borders but how could she?

" Shehnaaz baby what's wrong " Sidharth asked coming in the room, limping, his plasters were gone two weeks back and he had been recovering well, he could walk limping, he was just not allowed to put weight on his leg and he wasn't supposed to lift heavy weights  , his hairs were back not in the original length but you could pull the soft locks.

" I don't know what do I do " She whispered realising she had been crying again, sighing she wiped her tears, it's just the emotional turmoil she had been feeling from 2 months have been adding over and the worst was she didn't know how to get over it

" Shehnaaz " He spoke pulling her to the bed and sat beside her holding her hand and she hugged him tightly

" It's okay Baby, Sab theek hai, there's nothing wrong " Sidharth whispered and rubbed her back.

" I felt.. I felt I will lose you Sidharth " She whispered too scared to even hear that and he hugged her tightly for letting her tell him her insecurities, he had seen her battling with her everyday but never once she spoke about it and today it felt as if she had been burdened about something and he knew she had to let it out.

" I am fine Shehnaaz, dekh, all well" He whispered, he had been battling his own share of trauma and he has never let it overpower him because she was there beside him always, and he had seen her struggling through her own self everyday.

" I know you are fine but I just can't forget the fact that last two months, I have seen you fighting with yourself everyday Sidharth, there were times I know all you wanted was to fuck your injuries and land up in the hospital, doing what you love the most but pata hai mere andar kya chal raha tha, to wrap you in that little bubble and protect you from even the world outside, I can't loose you Sidharth, I just can't " She whispered

" I... I was so afraid that you would.... That you would Leave me just like others Sidharth and I am so afraid of leaving you that I just can't even think of going to my job because I am scared, scared to even let you be away from my eyes for even a moment " She cried breaking the hug and keeping her face in her own hands crying, he just sat there rubbing her back
