Thanks for reading my best friend's brother I love you all . Who's your favourite character in the story ? I'll be in the comment section .
Six months later ............KHEERA I tossed and turned scattering the duvet wrapped around my body with my leg in annoyance as the blaring noise coming from my cell phone wouldn't stop .I stood up with annoyance and I picked up my phone .David ? Why is David calling me this early in the morning? He'll have to pay me for extra hours ...I resume by 9 for goodness sakes ." Sorry did I wake you ?" He asked immediately I answered the call ." Of course you did " I replied yawning lazily ." I'm sorry .....kheera I need your help " . I paused for a while ,why is he sounding so desperate ." What's going on ?" I asked gently ." I ...uhm ....I want to propose to Tracy tonight " he replied nervously and I let out a gasp .Of course I'm shocked ! They started dating after I got engaged to Raymond and that's just six months and now he wants to propose to her ? David and I finalized the preparation since he wanted to do something simple and we ended the call .I sank into my knees and I
RAYMOND I just stood still staring at her as she walked back into her office. What exactly is going on? And why is she mad at me ?. I kicked start my car and I drove back to my office .I'm sure she'll be in a better mood by the time we see each other tonight for David's proposal .And hopefully she'll tell me what I did wrong .KHEERA Office hours went by slowly but thankfully it's over .... David kept on calling me to his office to make sure the plan is in motion while Tina kept on bragging about " this man " she's getting engaged to.I have an eerie feeling about the man but I'm not even sure if it is really my mind that's speaking or jealousy .I got home ,dressed up and head over to Tracy's workplace .The plan is for me to invite her out and then boom ! David proposes. I hope I get this right because I'm so disturbed , jealous and angry ." Hi bestie ". Tracy yelled and pulled me into a warm hug immediately I got to her office. " You look good !" She said holding my two ha
KHEERAI stared happily at Tracy and David who are all lovey dovey as they danced .I'm happy for them .... finally my best friend is getting married ! But the thought of Tracy getting married before me is so exhausting and I'm so jealous of her ." You look beautiful tonight ". A familiar voice said and I knew instantly who it was .Raymond!.I ignored him and just kept staring blankly at the couple ." May I have this dance?" He tried again .This is so hard ! Ignoring him is so hard ! Smelling him so up close to me is making it more hard but what do I do ? I need to stay mad at him because I am mad at him .He suddenly grabbed my hand tightly but gently and dragged me out of the hall with everyone's attention on us ." What is it ?" I yelled and yanked my hand off his immediately we got outside the restaurant ." I should be asking you that kheera ....what's going on ?" He demanded although his voice sounds really gentle and that has already melted my heart ." I don't know what y
RAYMOND " Hey newly engaged ". I greeted cheerfully immediately I got to Tracy's shop . She blushed and pulled me into a hug ." David told me he planned it all with you and kheera ...thanks lil brother". She replied and I smiled and patted her gently . She pulled away from the hug and I stared suspiciously at her .She's wearing the same dress she wore yesterday . " Did you sleep over at David's?" I asked smiling coyly at her . She covered her face with her two hands . " It kind of happened like that" . She replied shyly like a teenager who has just been caught . " Ohhh right ..." . I replied smiling . " What's going on between you and kheera ?" She suddenly asked and I looked surprisingly at her . " How did you know ?" " After a very time you came to my shop to greet me alone ...plus your face says everything ,kheera was also absent minded yesterday and I noticed how awkward things were between the two of you yesterday so tell me what's going on ?" I stared at her dumb
KHEERA I heard a knock on the door and I frowned .Who could it be at this time of the night ? I peeped through the door knob and I sighed immediately I saw who it was. Ray ...I opened the door gently and he walked in ." Hi " he greeted ." What can I offer you ?" I asked ignoring his greeting .He didn't say anything and just stared at me for what looks like forever then all of a sudden he flinged his hand in front of me .I realized he is wearing the ring and I scoffed ." What are you trying to do ? " I asked heat rising inside of me ." I am now wearing the ring....kheera ". I scoffed again." I am now wearing the ring you forced me to wear ...is that it ?" I hissed and turned to leave but he grabbed my hand turning me back to him .He stood up gently ." I'm sorry kheera ..... I'm sorry I didn't understand how you were feeling .... I'm sorry I didn't speak to you about my plans , I'm sorry I made you feel less , I'm sorry I got you worried kheera " I blinked back the tears
KHEERA I dressed up and headed to work early because I woke up early .Raymond and I have finally patched things up and he's ready to get married. " Hi Tina !" I greeted cheerfully " You are smiling this morning kheera ....did something good happen?" I rolled my eyes at her .This girl and her pokenosing attitude ! " Pokenosing Is not a good attitude for someone who is going to get married in few days which is why I'm wondering why you came to the office today ?". She pouted her mouth childishly ." I know right .... I have a wedding to plan but Mr David called in sick and we have some investors coming in so I had to come to the office ". David called in sick? The workaholic David? In all my almost four years if working with him he has never skipped office .his sickness must be pretty bad.I wonder if Tracy knows about this already . I picked my phone and dialled her number . I called three times before she finally picked .This is actually the first time Tracy wouldn't pic
RAYMOND I stood still shocked at what Tracy said but I know I need to give them space to talk ." I need to check something inside the room ". I said and walked into her room .I know Tracy loves David so why is she treating him this way? The memories of the time that kheera used to treat me this harshly flashed in my head and I know how much pain David must be going through. I'll talk to Tracy after this, I need to know why she's acting this way towards him .**************DAVID I walked closer to where she stood and I used my thumb to wipe the tears on her face and she melted in my arms ." I know you do not mean all of the things you've just said ....."She opened her mouth to talk but I placed my hand on her lips to shut her up. She looked at me with her teary eyes .I pulled her in gently and kissed her for what seemed like forever and she kissed me back .I pulled away gently from the kiss .I already know what I want to know .She loves me and that's enough .... whatever
TRACYI just stared at him blankly .He came closer to where I stood and he placed his hand on my head ." Tell me sis ...are you feeling sick ?" He asked again and I sighed gentlyDo I tell him what's going on ?It's going to be too much for him to bear and I cannot handle that ." Tell me sis ...what's wrong?". RAYMONDShe looked like she was going to tell me something but she nodded her head negatively and sighed. " I'll tell you about it Ray .....but not now " I stared at her for a while ." Whatever it is .... I know you have a good reason for not wanting to tell me but remember we only have each other and I'll gladly listen to you whenever you want to talk ". She smiled at me and I smiled back too." Oh my God ...look at my little brother maning up already ". She yelled hitting my shoulder ." Refrain from hitting my boyfriend like that Tracy ". Kheera said and we both turned to see her standing by the door ." How long have you been there for?" Tracy and I chorused together
TRACY Watching them all surround me on the hospital bed made me emotional and I began to cry . They told me stories about how I had been declared dead and been in the bed for over a year before Raymond decided they bury me and all the things that has happened to them . " Stop crying or I'll cry too " David whispered gently and I chuckled lightly. " I thought men don't cry " " He's not a man " Raymond chipped in smiling cheerfully . "Oh how I miss you little brother , I miss you all ". " We missed you to death Tracy ..." DAVID Raymond and kheera left me and Tracy alone to talk .I noticed she got a bit moody when they walked out. " What's wrong ?" " Uhh ? ... nothing". " Tell me what it is " I asked gently cupping her face. She swallowed her saliva gently .... " Are ....are you still single ?" She asked and I gave her a smirk smile . I let out a cold sigh gently and I let go of her house . " I'm ....I'm sorry ...." " I understand , it couldn't have been possibl
KHEERA" What's going on ?" Raymond asked immediately we got to the doctor's office ." I don't even know how to say this , it's such a miracle because I'm my years of experience as a doctor I have never experienced such a thing "." Enough with the stories doc ....tell me what's going on ?" He asked more impatiently and I nodded ." Your sister just responded to treatment , we got a signal from her brain "." You what ?" I didn't even know when I yelled ." Does that mean she's alive ?" Raymond asked" She's not awake yet ...but that signal technically means she's alive ".Ray and I jumped on each other ." I knew she was not dead , she cannot leave me alone " I pulled him into a hug.I'm happy he didn't listen to us when we told him to allow us bury her , I'm happy he stood strong for his sister ....our sister .***************" I need to call David "" Yes you should " Raymond replied with this excitement that I thought he had lost .DAVIDI smiled immediately I saw kheera's na
DAVIDKheera?" I called gently and she smiled ." Are you also being miserable ?" She asked and I sighed ." Also ? Who else is miserable?" " Raymond " I muttered an ohh and I shrugged ." It's expected and she's his sister "" He won't let us bury her David .....he won't let her rest because he believes a miracle is going to happen "." Kheera it's only normal he reacts that way , we both got to know her after she has grown ....they've been together since childhood and she has been more of a parent to him than a sibling so letting go to him is definitely not an option "." I know all that David ...I do , do you think it's easy for me too ? It isn't ! I just wanted to fulfil my last promise to her even though it's so hard ".KHEERAHe kept mute for a while then sighed ." Why don't we just let him decide what he wants to do ....instead of telling him what to do , why don't you just concentrate on making him feel better ?" " What about you ? When are you going to feel better ?" I a
RAYMONDImmediately she left I knew I shouldn't have reached to her that way so I rushed out to go after her but she already left .I walked back into the room and sat on the floor as tears flowed freely .I miss you Tracy .....there is absolutely nothing I can do without you , just come back .... please ...DAVID" Stop making me dump all these food David ..." I turned to look at Ella who looks frustrated and dissapointed at the same time .I know she hates dumping her cookings , it's like hurting her ego but I just can't bring myself to lift a spoon ." Are you going to take forever to mourn her ?" She asked and I sighed. This is definitely not about mourning her , I miss her like crazy , and I can't just accept the fact that I'll never get to see her again ." Talk to me David ....mum and dad are also worried sick about you especially mum ...."" I'm fine "" Are you ?" " Ella I'm fine and I'll love to be alone ....do I get to have that peace ?" . " Peace ? Sulking and crying
RAYMONDThe doctor and I rushed into the ward to find kheera and David crying .My heart flew out of my chest , we were told to stay outside by the doctor who is busy trying to resuscitate her ." She's gone Ray ...she's gone ..." Kheera said amidst tears .David just sat lifelessly on the floor ." She's not dead , she can't be dead ! She cannot die !" I yelled back at her as I feel my insides crumbling .The doctor walked out of the ward looking disheleved. I rushed to him ." How's my sister ? She's fine right ? She just went through a form of attack right?" " Calm down Mr Raymond ...."" Don't tell me to calm down ! Don't you dare !" I yelled and the doctor sighed slowly." She's brain dead Raymond .... she'll never wake up which means she's ......"" It means she's still alive right ?" " Yes ...we can say that because her other organs are fine and can be donated ...."" Donated ? Don't you dare try to give out my sister's organs like a pack of sweets ". " Raymond !" Kheera
TRACY I decided to speak to them one after the other so David left the room and kheera walked in .." Bestie " she greeted cheerfully " Come and sit beside me " I replied patting the space beside me on the bed .She sat gently beside me and I smiled ." I'm good to miss you ...our fights , our fun times , the times I force you to a party , oh my goodness who is going to style you once I'm gone ? I'm sure you are going to have a tough time dressing up like ....."" Why are you saying all these ?" She replied cutting me off ." We both know I'm going to die soon bestie ...."" You are not dying anytime so......" " Let's stop lying to ourselves kheera , let's be realistic at least for the sake of these our private probably last ....talk " .I let out a small laugh .Was this how mother felt back then ? Her face fell immediately and she let out a small sigh." You are crazy ....even in death bestie you are crazy ".I chuckled lightly ." I want you to do me two favours "." If this
TRACYI opened my eyes gently and I saw Raymond leaning on the door , kheera and David sat opposite each other fast asleep with my bed in the middle .Each of them holding onto each of my hands .I feel so loved and it made my eyes teary .I placed my hand gently on their two heads like a mother hen trying to protect her children ." Tracy ?" Raymond called surprised and the two of them that were fast asleep jolted up awake .I feel so sorry troubling them like this and making them care too much for me. " The ....the wedding .... I'm sorry ...I ....ruined the wedding ...".My throat hurts and It felels like I haven't talked for years ." Forget the wedding ...how are you feeling ?" David asked worry written all over his face. " How... long have I been asleep?" I asked my voice a little bit clearer although it still hurts ." Five days " kheera replied and I muttered an " oh " .Now I now why it feels as if I haven't opened my mouth in years." Sis ...how are you doing ? How are you
DAVIDKheera , Raymond and I sat down outside the emergency ward waiting for the doctor who appeared few minutes later .We all rushed to meet him .My heart stood still frozen ." I'm sure you all know how her heart condition is ?". The doctor asked looking at us for answers and we all nodded ." She had gone through too much stress and that was the reason behind the sudden collapse .... we'll have to get her admitted here and she won't be leaving anytime soon ......". " How is she? I mean right now ? How is she doing ?" I asked ignoring his explanations ." She's stable and she's under control .. she's asleep so you might have to wait a while before going in to see her " . He replied and walked away .I walked lazily to the window of her ward and I stared at how lifeless she looked on the bed .I let out a small laugh at how beautiful she still looks despite her condition ." She looks so beautiful doesn't she ?" I turned to see kheera standing beside me ." Yes she does " " Sh
KHEERAThe impromptu yet super exciting wedding plans started rapidly .Raymond and I decided to honour Tracy's wish to get married on the same day ." Kheera I think peach will make a good colour for our wedding dress ". I smiled gently as she brought me out of my thoughts ." It's not your 15th birthday darling ....who wears a peach colour dress on their wedding ?" I yelled and she glared at me ." Tracy ! Tracy wants to wear a peach dress on her wedding day " " We might have to put on different color of dresses then cause there's no way I'm wearing that colour " She pouted her mouth childishly and I rolled my eyes at her ." That won't make me change my mind bestie ". She threw her hands up in surrender ." So what do we wear them ?" " Anything ......."" Let's wear pe ...."" Asides from peach my darling drop the issue ". " What are the two most important ladies in my life talking about ?". Raymond said immediately he got into the house ." Am I allowed to say that too ?" D
