The Envelope


" I'll be there in 10 minutes" Amal said in the phone and hurried to his bike .
Few minutes later he was in front of a hospital.Moments back he recieved a call for Neha's sister ,saying that she was met with an accident last night and is in critical care. He shows up to the hospital room ...standing outside the door going over the last conversation in his mind over and over as he heard the machines beep and beep and breathing tubes pump oxygen into her lungs.

Last night was the last for Neha in the city office as she was being transfered to another.All these years ,she was in love with Amal but was afraid to tell.Since it was her  last night at city she called up him and said that she wanted to tell him something,and she wanted to give him something.

"Can't It wait till tommorrow ?"
"But I will not be there tommorrow Amal " she was about to weep.

Amal disconnected the phone. Neha with a broken heart ,went out for a ride ,as promised to her friend and was fatefully involved in a fatal accident.Her friend swerved to avoid a truck....hitting a tree instead.Her friend was killed instantly....she's in critical condition

"She wanted to give me something or tell me something" Amal said to her mother .

"Oh yes" she wanted to gave this to you .

It was an envelope smelling like she sealed it with a kiss in lipstick
He opened it.....
It said ..... "You're everything to me....I love you with everything I am and everything I have...I want to spend the rest of my life with you"
Sealed in it was a ripped movie ticket from the first movie they went to...
...and the first picture they took together
He kissed the picture as a tear fell from his face onto the picture
It looked as if in the picture she was crying

Then the machines flatlined.... 3 minutes later she was pronounced dead
