That’s all I wanted to experience. That delight.
My motionless body failed to capture the purposefulness.

The day started on a dull note today. It was raining heavily since early morning.
A faint sign of sun was alive somewhere beneath those dark clouds, much like hope in her mind.
All she could count on was the fact that after a heartfelt pouring, eventually the rain will stop, and then, the sun will shine again.
Today will give way to tomorrow, hope gleamed within her.

She looked perfect, just like the first time he met her, in a green silk saree and a slim gold necklace, simple and beautiful as always. They had spent 36 years together and he couldn’t have imagined a better partner.
Today she is leaving him. Well, her body is; her memories and the memories they built together all those years have made an everlasting impression in his heart and will stay with him forever, as a heart print that could never be erased as long his heartbeats.
He leaned down and kissed gently on her forehead as her lifeless face smiled at him for the last time.

Sharon knew he was somewhere near her. Though she couldn’t see him, she felt his presence always.
Some might even think that theirs is an unrequited love, she thought miserably. But how would anyone think that, when no one knew his existence in her life, when no one could feel his presence like she did?
How would she tell anyone about him when she couldn’t say it out loud confidently. Such was her stalker, the monster, this depression!

She knew life was not just a bed of roses. Count the blessings more often to get the prickly thorns out, she learned that early on.
Then again it wasn’t the terminal illness that killed her. The toxic relation she was in mercilessly sucked the life out of her long before her tumor proved to be fatal.
Why life was just a bed of thorns for her, remained a mystery to her.

“Let’s do that then!” exclaimed Sherry.
