A Love Like That

It was half-past twelve at the noon, but there was no dash of sun. The sky was enclosed with dark grey shades of clouds. The rain has stopped moments ago but the water was still dripping from the terrace onto the window sill.

There was no hustling of winds, God wasn’t playing with hues in the sky, birds were silent in-spite of tranquil weather, frogs weren’t hopping into the pond, and nature wasn’t clicking any picture of humans from up there. It felt as if the universe too, was mourning with Anahita, while she was going through the harshest phase of her life, feeling her pain and trying to offer its shoulder to her.

After a couple of minutes, she looked out of the window and observed the thick black clouds floating above her head.
