Chapter 14-

A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews people! Here's the next update. I'm free now a bit though I've no idea when any work will pop in front of me. Phew. Here you go.

"I'm sorry Hils, I'm very sorry. We couldn't save him, I'm very very sorry." He said with breaking tone and silent sobs.

She gulped as those words registered in her mind, and her throat seemed constricted. The possibility of losing him became extremely unacceptable for her and she was breathing heavily with shakes not having the capacity to cry.

"This c-can't happen!" she said with light hiccups.

He tightened his grip around her neck and buried her head deeply across his chest.

Why life had to be so cruel?

How can I face you again when I'm drowning?

Oh Love, why the bad luck at right time is haunting?

I'm going down, inside me, I've been devoid of all fuel.

Your destiny is mine, we have to face together.

I will wrap you in this cold with my warmest embers,

Take me away, let's go, and give me feathers.

My loyalty was wound around your heart, you know

If only you will last, there is a ray of hope deep below.

She immediately pulled away and looked at him.

"This is not fair Kai. I'm so sorry, I'm very sorry!" she said in a cackling tone, her larynx not working properly.

"What are you talking of?" he asked in tears.

"I didn't respect him, I didn't respect you. I was so stub-"

"Shushh" he quietened her by putting a finger on her lips.

"Don't blame yourself. I still have you and you have me, and I will be there for you and love you to last limits I can." He said in a strong yet little shaking tone, "You don't have to say sorry. Don't you say that again."

She looked at him with expressions of hurt and weakness, her face not giving signs of response.

"C'mon,' his voice was breaking bitterly, "Tell me you love me back." He tried to laugh and make her laugh as well.

She didn't speak anything and looked at him expressionless.

Even if I love you till the last, I'm such a bitch. You don't even deserve me. You love me so much and I didn't even know that. How ungrateful and a painful trouble I was!

"Tell me!" he shouted, tears again threatening to spill once again.

She didn't say anything. Her eyes were just fixed at him, her features and expressions lifeless and unchanged. She was just looking through him, watching his sob so helplessly, and hiccupping like a small child. Yet she was still looking at him, knowing him, looking her cruel side he tolerated with love and patience. What did she do to deserve this? She almost cheated him, but currently, she didn't remember that. Deep inside she just knew she had wronged him and troubled him.

"C'mere…" she whispered raising her free hand a little. She caught his wrist and pulled him once more encircling it around his neck and locking his nose and forehead.

"You're not alone. Remember that very well Kai." She said softly, "And what do you think? I love you too sweetheart, too much."

"Promise me you won't cry again." He said.

"First you." She smiled.

"No! You first!" he said quickly recovering from tears.

"I promise you."

A few minutes later, Tala walked in when kai left. Hilary did remember of Tala as her brother. Her memories included him being strict but also consoling her when required.

"Who said you to stand at there!" he scolded in shaking tone, fear of losing control and cry any second occupying him, "Were you planning to die?" he asked.

She smiled, "Why should I leave my sweet brother?" she replied/

"You don't have to worry about anything! We are there for you!"

"I know…"

"Please get well soon, don't think about anything. You've kai, Lavinia, me, Tyson and all of us!" The last name shook her mind. The name seemed familiar but she couldn't remember anything. Just when Tala spoke the last name, a few scenes quickly formed in her mind starting from when they were kids, when they fought over dining table, him suddenly kissing her, which severely shook her, again scenes of fighting, smiling and it all disappeared… She was confused. She concluded that he was his cousin but that one scene of flashback disturbed her and she was feeling there was more to it, so much more to it but right now no efforts could make her remember and tell her what happened.

She let of it as she was starting to get an ache.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, maybe I should rest." She said closing her eyes softly and slowly turning on the others side facing the window. Tala was facing her back now

"Oh okay sis, take rest. " He said normally, "Wouldn't you meet Tyson a little?" he asked

Her mind shook again and eyes opened suddenly, "Later..." she said feebly.

He nodded subconsciously and left the room.

Tyson was standing out; his heart was beating in impatience for going inside.

As soon as Tala came out, he looked at the door and started pacing fastly inside.

"Uhm, Tyson" Tala said slowly, "She can't meet you now. She fell asleep." He said in a little sad tone.

His face saddened. He has been waiting since long and now when his turn came, she fell asleep. This was not fair.

Tala walked past him and Tyson's shoulder hung in defeat as he sighed and looked down.

"Tyson?"

He raised his head, "I've something to say. I'm not sure if Kai could handle this. I thought to say this t Tala but he's little short tempered so I thought you'd be appropriate." The Doctor said carefully.

"Hilary may forget her past and just remember what happened a few days or months back or the vice versa…There is a little neural hemorrhage that we are curing and will definitely be alright. But she may lose some of her memories. In case she doesn't recognize anyone or don't remember anything, please don't pressurize her. She's already at critical situation and recovering slowly."

Tyson gasped first but then nodded slowly. The Doctor walked past him and he stood wondering what he should do. Should he say that to kai or not? He wondered.
