Chapter 1

She held a rose. A single, solitary rose.
She walked quietly to her destination.
Somewhere a bell chimed.

-||-

He stood there waiting. Waiting as always.
Time stood still for him when he waited for her.
Everything stood still for her.

-||-

She reached her destination.
Not a moment too soon.
A smile graced her lips as she remembered.

-||-

He waited as he heard the soft chime of bangles.
He waited as he heard the soft humming of a voice.
He waited as he heard the beating of a heart.

-||-

She stood there, admiring the sight.
She stood there, as she did every year.
She stood there, waiting for the light.

-||-

He made his way towards her.
The smile on his face never wavered as he drank in her sight.
The pleasure of seeing her once again.

-||-

She kissed the rose. The single, solitary rose.
She laid it on the ground. At his grave.
A moment of pain graced her delicate features.

-||-

A tear escaped his eye as she kissed the rose.
A murmur of pain passed through his voice, trying to call out to her.
A light disappeared as he watched her slowly walk away.

-||-

She left without another glance.
The light slowly faded from sight.
Somewhere, a bell chimed.

-||-

Arnav Singh Raizada.
Beloved son, brother, friend and husband.
May he rest in peace.
