Final goodbye..




"I tried. But nothing is working anymore and I can't see you like this." He tried to justify.

She didn't react. 

He looked at her, with tears in his eyes, also with the last shreds of hope. But he should have known better.

She still didn't budge, not even now, not even as they said their final goodbye...

"I am sorry" he said as he watched them unplug the ventilator.

  2. So many things in few lines.

    Important thing about the story,i feel,is that reader should not be able to interpret the end of the story. And you kept it very well. Every line make you interpret a different story and in the end, it something very unexpected.

    Incredibly brilliant !!!

    The Awesome Upasana :)
