Icy wind slashed at his face seeing her in that condition. Several medical equipments were connected to her body. His arm caressed her face and a tear drop escaped his eyes."Open your eyes Harika" he whispered near her ears. There is no movement in her body."Sorry! We tried our best but we couldn't cure her. She is alive but she couldn't live a normal life. She needs someone around her to take care" doctor said leaving all the three in a great shock."What happened to her doctor?" Harini asked nervously."Nerves in the spinal cord are severely damaged. Her arms and legs were paralyzed" she replied. Harini's eyes pooled with tears. Karthik consoled her."Couldn't we treat it doctor?" Karthik asked with a hope. "We can't give guarantee. Sometimes it will get cured with the continuous treatment but that treatment is highly costly" she replied."Money doesn't matter. We want our child back" he said emotionally. "Yeah, you can start those treatment as soon as possible. Until that, you should take a great care of her. Her mental health should also be improved. She should get the hope to live" she advised. They agreed."Uncle, please allow me to be with Harika. I promise you, I'll take good care of her. I'll not let alone even for a minute. Please believe me. I'll make her normal. Please!" He asked with tears.Karthik thought for a while. "Sure Harish. Only you can give the hope to live" he said hugging him.

Why should I face this hell everyday? For this, I could have died happily. Now, I'm dying everyday" a tear drop escaped her eyes."Harika! Are you okay?" She heard the voice she loves the most. Harish stood there with worried expression. Her eyes gazed his face but her arms failed to reach face.He held her face and looked into her eyes. "Don't stress yourself dear. Whatever may happen, always believ that I'll be there for you. I'm here to take care of you. Don't think about anything. Be strong, believe that you will become normal. Also keep in mind that, I can't leave you at any situation" he said kissing her forehead which melted her heart.In those seven days, she realised his love for her. He cared her like a newborn baby.
