The scene that touched me most from yesterday's episode was the one where they were pointing out the stars in the sky, that represented their families. For me, it showed that for once, they weren't just vengeful enemies or even loving husband-wife. They were just two lonely souls connected by the mere fact that they knew what losing a loved one meant. This is just something I wrote inspired by the scene, hope you like it!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No matter where we go and who we meet, we always keep our loved ones deep in our hearts. They form the invisible backbone of our personality, shaping our very ideas of love and relationships. Yet how do explain that to two people who have had to walk most of their lives without the caring touch of a mother or the gentle-yet-firm grip of a father?
They stood together, side-by-side on the terrace, taking in the winds of change and the continued presence of each other. He introduced her to his loving mother and in return, she happily pointed out the rest of her family amongst the stars above. For the first time in his life, he saw not an evil woman who had killed his brother but a sad and yet chirpy girl who had once felt the love of a family. He saw a person who had had to lose them and live with their loss for half her life. In the quiet darkness of the night, he felt her loss reverberate in his heart and it hurt him more than did his own.
How do we quantify whose loss was bigger? Is it the one who lost more, or the one who spent more time in the ensuing loneliness?
How do we point out who was more unfortunate? Is it the one who's had to live with knowing the reason behind her family's demise, or the one who wanted to know but never could find out?
How do we decide who's situation is worse? Is is the one who has to live with the one who gave her this loss, or the one who is being cheated out of love from the same man?
In fate's unpredicatable twists and turns, two lonely and pained souls met once, ripping each other off and having to clash together again. Yet the only thing that grew bigger was their sense of loss as they fell deeper and deeper into the hatred sown into them by the same man.
They could not live with each other, but soon enough, they had to find out they could not live without each other either. On the surface they were poles apart, yet beneath the hard exterior, they were borne out of the same tree of loneliness.
At the end of the day, only when they left the earth for the stars above did they truly realise how much they missed in life and how much they had always been yearning for. It was this loss that had brought them closer - simply for knowing how it felt to live without loved ones. Complete one another, fulfill each other - for that's the only way you can make two broken souls one whole again.
