It is 14th February. Valentine's Day. One of the most important days of Ruhi's life. She has been shifted from ICU to general ward as doctors have lost all hope and so have her relatives. She already gave up her will power. Suffering from depression had broken her up already. But one message tune sparkles her eyes.
"What is it saying?" She asks her elder sister, Riya.
"Good Morning." Replies Riya.
"What is the time now?"
"1 pm."
"Isn't it bit late?"
"He must have sent you by mistake."
"Of course. He has stopped sending me messages of Good mornings and Good nights."
Seeing her sister's dull eyes, Riya says spontaneously, "Hey what do I see here! Your conversations with Harsh. Wow. Interesting."
"Hey, stop. You can't do that. Give me my phone. I say give it to me right now, Riya."
Ruhi had not spoken more than a few words from last many hours. So hearing her voice and that also with this energy make her family surprised. Her father, Mukesh was talking to the doctor outside of the ward. He also comes in along with the doctor.
"What is going on, girls?" Her father asks out of surprise.
"Nothing Dad. I was just teasing your daughter." Explains Riya.
Doctor whispers in Mukesh's ears, "This much excitement is not good for the patient's heart. I just told you to keep her as calm as possible. She has very few hours left. Her heart has become extremely sensitive. Let her have enough peace in her last hours."
This last sentence brings tears in Mukesh's eyes. "My daughter's last hours!" thinks Mukesh.
Ruhi is still reading something on her phone. Riya knows what is that. It is 1.20 in the afternoon now. At any moment, Ruhi will collapse. But right now she is feeling very relaxed.
It is 6 in the evening. Ruhi had taken some water and juice during the day. Actually this is so surprising for all as she had not taken a piece of food from last three days. Everyone can see a shine of happiness and relief on her face.
What was the magic? It was Harsh. Ruhi's fiancee.
It was the time of year 2013. Exactly on the Valentines's Day, they met for the first time. They started dating each other and with the agreement of their families, they got engaged. It seems like some fairy tale, doesn't it? But it has never been as smooth as it seems like.
Harsh is very easy going, down to earth, good looking, damn handsome and successful guy. Ruhi was extremely beautiful and polite girl. They complemented each other very well. Their families were very happy for them.
Things started changing. Ruhi was extremely sensitive. Any small change in Harsh's tone made her tensed. Initially, she couldn't share it with Harsh, but gradually it started reflecting on her face. She was becoming pale. She knew that Harsh was doing every single thing to make her happy. And Ruhi also loved him and giving her 100% to the relationship. But with time, misunderstanding increased. Though love was there more than they had ever thought, they were failing to understand each other's silence evrey now and then. "Silence": one of the most important parts of any relationship.
Harsh often got upset with Ruhi. He started feeling like not being appreciated. So he started ignoring her whenever she was down. And with the time passing, it became their routine. At the dining table, spoons and dishes

talked. They couldn't even notice each other's presence in the room.
Extremely sensitive Ruhi couldn't bare it. And finally depression caught it. She tried to come out of it. She tried to make everything normal. Harsh and Ruhi were dying to sustain their relationship. But couldn't. They never broke up. But they went so far from each other, emotionally.
One day, when Ruhi was returning back to the home, she met with an accident. She got the brain injury. Harsh was out of town for a week. One of the people presented at the place where accident took place tried to call Harsh. But due to meeting, he couldn't pick up the phone. And out of ignorance, he never called back.
Two days back, as per doctors, Ruhi had few hours left to live. But that one unintentionally sent message from Harsh gave her two more days as a Valentine's Day present. It is his love and only love which gave her strength to come back from the gate of death. She waited for his call or any news from him in those two days. But she had to leave the world without a last glimpse of her love who gave her some more breaths.
"Understand each other's words and more than that, the language of silence."
Wish You all a very Happy Valentine's Day.................
