KARAN'S POV
                          
Sitting in  familiar white room, where I had treated so many patients, but today I sat on small stool, my eyes looking at the figures lying in bed not moving, I was angry on her, for doing this to herself.
                          
I took her palm in my hand, cursing myself, because I was the reason behind this. Shweta my best friend, she was there when I had nothing, when Ruhi broke up with me And I was living my life for sake of my parents, she had filled color in my life all these years.
                          
I had known she loved me, but I couldn't give back her love for my heart always belong to Ruhi.
Shewta had cut her wrist, attempting suicide,.
                          
I should have known, she would easily get depressed.. I was her doctor back in New York.
                          
In all these situations with Ruhi and Kartik, I had neglected my friends health.
                          
She moved groaning before opening her eyes, her eyes looking at sealing, her face calm.
                          
"I pretend to sleep for a while so you could leave, but I guess you are not going to" She said in low voice.
                          
Finally her gaze moved toward me. "why?!" I asked. She didn't replied, she moved and tried to sit up  I helped her, I also made her drink water . After few more minutes she spoke. 
                          
"I Think I always knew I was going to loose you, my future with you always looked hazy in front of my eyes. but I still took a chance, that's the reason why I didn't wanted to come back to India, but when my parents said the marriage has to be happen in India, I gave up." 
                          
"I did warned Ruhi to stay away from you, fearing that her return will take you away from me. All my life you are the only one guy I love. And seeing you with her made me angry, hurt!" She told me, I clenched my fist. 
                          
"I know marrying Ruhi was your right decision, And I supported you, but I don't know what came over me, and I took that step, belive me Karan, I didn't mean it but the fact that You now belong to someone else, Made me think that I had nothing to live for " she cried. 
                          
I sat beside her hips, cupping her face I wipe her tears " You do know that You have a special place in my heart right?! "  I asked her she nodded her head. 
                          
" I am leaving day after tomorrow for New York, sorry I caused all this ruckus" she said. 
                          
"Promise me that you will not do anything stupid like this!" I asked her. 
                          
"I promise! I just want you happy, take care of yourself, and Kartik" She said smiling. 
                          
"I  am going to miss you!" Fresh tears pour down her cheeks "hey!" I hugged her. "don't come to see me off, I can't handle it!" She told me. 
                          
"Dr Karan!" Ruhi's voice broke our hug, I turned to look at her, I could clearly see hurt in her voice. 
                          
Shewta sigh "Can't you knock, doctor ruhi's this is private room you do know that right!!? " Shewta snapped . 
                          
"I am sorry, it was an emergency, there is accident case with server brain damage, and Dr Karan is needed" Ruhi said her voice wavering. 
                          
I turned to Shewta, "I'll visit you again before your discharge ok!" I kissed her forehead before leaving, Not missing the look of longing in. Eyes of Ruhi. 
                          
RUHI'S POV 
                          
"I am sorry..!" I spoke as soon as Karan left, Shewta looked at me. 
                          
"Well, Your apologies not accepted, I hate you and always will hate you!!" She said. 
                          
I looked down at my fingers. "Ii..!" I started to say but she cut me off. 
                          
"I don't want to chit chat with you . So please stop.." She scowl at me.
