Chapter 15: Depression

Vishakha walked inside Dominick's word and saw him sleeping, his lips were moving like he was muttering something. She went towards him and sat on the stool near his bed. She caressed his soft smooth hair.

" I am sorry......I-I.." Vishakha whispered softly she was feeling guilty and was accusing herself as she thought she was the reason for this accident. She pressed her softly lips on his forehead.

" I am here, Dominick....." she whispered while a smile crept on Dominick's lips.

Gabriel walked inside the ward.

" Madam, I have some important things to say, I want to clear something to you......so, if you don't mind can we grab a coffee ? " He sincerely asked her, waiting for Vishakha's reply.

"......sure " Vishakha glanced at Dominick before leaving the room with Gabriel.

They went to a nearby coffee shop which was already reserved by Gabriel. They ordered a coffee for themselves before Gabriel started the conversation.

" Miss Hemraj....Capo...haa, he has separation anxiety disorder. He is not a person, who easily gets close to a person "

Gabriel continued with mixed emotions.

".....He loved a woman, Rachel, but he loved his step-brother....he tried to separate them " He sighed before continuing

" He loved his grandfather a lot but after, he passed away, he was broken and fell into depression......he has a tragic past Madam, he only wants love, he craves for it.....he wants someone to adore him, to take care of him "

" And when he saw you took care of him that day, he couldn't help himself, he just wants someone, who will always stay beside him....you know he never had a friend from childhood. Everyone was afraid of him and even who came near him, where after his money and power......"

" Please don't leave him, he needs a friend to whom he can share his every grief and pain of heart with....I know you also need someone who will care for you- "

" No, I don't need anyone " she cut his words in the middle while he let out a chuckle

" It's a lie Madam, you know that " he provoked her. Vishakha glared at him while he gave her a cold smile.

" ...... " Vishakha stayed silent.

" Well, I would like to take my leave now....take your time and yea please do listen to your heart " he left there leaving Vishakha in dilemma.

" Heart ? Do, I even have it ? " A bitter smile appeared on her lips. A memory flashed inside her mind and a voice rand into her ears.

" You don't have a heart Vishakha, you don't deserve to be loved, you are just a selfish woman " a man's voice shouted.

Her eyes became teary and she found it difficult to breathe, a lump formed in her throat. Tears trickled down her cheeks, some bitter scenes flashed in her mind.

" Love ? Heart ? Care ? Yea, you were right these are not for me, I don't deserve these "
