She stood outside the hospital room and saw him through the window. There he was, lying on the bed, all bandaged up. His foot was fractured and his arms badly bruised. It would have been her there, had he not come in the nick of time and saved her. A feeling of guilt overcame her at this point of time. All their life, they were sworn enemies. In the process of competing with each other, they had forgotten how to compete with the world. He always outdid her, no matter how hard she tried. She always wanted him to reach a stage - where he wouldn't be able to move...but today, she felt empty.
