Before Nunew headed to the cliff, he arranged the living room with his paintings featuring Zee, showcasing their journey from the day of their first adventure to their last day together. Additionally, he wrote a poem and recorded his voice singing, intending for it to be played automatically in the morning.

Zee woke up, finding himself alone and immediately called out for Nunew, but there was no response. A distant voice singing downstairs caught his attention, prompting him to rush down to see what was happening. In a mix of worry and confusion, he engaged in an internal conversation with himself.

Zee: (concerned) "Where could Nunew be? Why isn't he answering? What's that singing I hear?"

(As Zee descends the stairs, the melody becomes clearer, and he recognizes Nunew's voice in the recorded song.)

Zee stood there, mesmerized by the paintings that adorned the living room. A smile crept across his face as he traced the narrative of their relationship captured in at least 10 different paintings. Chuckling softly, he engaged in an internal conversation, reflecting on the significance of the artworks.

Zee: (smiling) "Nunew went through all this trouble to paint these moments. Each one tells a story, our story. The adventures, the laughter, the love—it's all here."

(He pauses, taking in the details of each painting.)

Zee: (thoughtful) "I never realized how much I meant to him. These paintings are like a visual journey through our time together. What a thoughtful and heartfelt way to express his love."

(His eyes linger on the last painting, sensing a bittersweet emotion in the air.)

Zee: (softly) "I remember each of these moments. The cliff where we had our first adventure, the café where we had our second meeting. Every stroke of the brush is a testament to the love we shared."

(He moves closer to a painting of a sunset on the beach.)

Zee: (reflective) "And this one, our balcony where we watched the sunsets together. It's like he wanted to freeze those moments in time. But why all of a sudden? Where is he now?"

(His gaze shifts to the poem and the recording device.)

Zee: (curious) "A poem and a song recorded in his voice. What's he trying to say? Something feels off." Zee then read the poem written by Nunew.

In the realm where sunsets kiss the sea, Our love was woven, wild and free. Brushstrokes of passion, an artist's delight, Canvas of memories, painted in the night.

Soft whispers of love in the ocean breeze, In your arms, I found tranquil seas. Eternal sunrise in your warm embrace, A sanctuary of love, a sacred space.

But whispers fade, and colors blend, As shadows dance, a bittersweet end. A canvas painted with love's refrain, Yet hints of farewell, like gentle rain.

In the gallery of time, our story told, A tale of love, both tender and bold. Yet, in the sweetness, a touch of rue, A silent goodbye, a parting adieu.

Zee, stirred by the enchanting paintings and the lyrical melody that filled the air, felt a mixture of awe and yearning. The house, adorned with visual expressions of their shared moments, embraced him like a familiar friend. A gentle smile graced his lips as he traced the strokes of affection Nunew had painted.

Zee: (softly) "Nunew, you've created a masterpiece of our love, haven't you?"

He marveled at each canvas, a chronicle of their adventures and tender embraces. The carefully chosen lyrics intertwined with the images, creating an emotional tapestry that told a story only they could understand.
