Taboo Romance

chapter 51 : love till sunset of years

The sun cast its golden rays over the tranquil landscape as Red and Neri stood hand in hand, overlooking the sprawling orchard that had been their sanctuary for decades. Guava and mango trees swayed gently in the breeze, their bountiful branches laden with ripe fruit—a testament to the love and care that had nurtured them over the years.

As they surveyed the orchard, memories flooded their minds—memories of laughter and tears, of triumphs and challenges, of a life lived to the fullest. For Red and Neri, this orchard was more than just a collection of trees; it was a symbol of their enduring love, their unwavering commitment to each other, and the legacy they had built together.

Red: "Can you believe it's been over fifty years since we planted our first sapling here?"

Neri smiled, her eyes sparkling with fondness as she leaned against Red's shoulder.

Neri: "Time certainly flies when you're in love, doesn't it?"

Red nodded, his gaze softening as he squeezed Neri's hand affectionately.

Red: "It feels like just yesterday that we were two young souls, dreaming of building a life together. And look at us now—surrounded by a family we love more than anything."

Neri: "We've been through so much together, Red. But through it all, our love has remained steadfast, like the roots of these trees."

Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of laughter echoing through the orchard. Turning, they saw their grandchildren running through the rows of trees, their faces alight with joy as they played games and chased each other.

Red: "Our grandchildren bring so much life to this place, don't they?"

Neri nodded, her heart swelling with pride as she watched the younger generation frolic amidst the trees.

Neri: "They're a constant reminder of the love and legacy we've created, Red. Each one of them carries a piece of us within them."

Red: "And they'll carry that love and legacy forward, Neri. That's the beauty of family—it's a bond that transcends time and space."

Their thoughts turned to their journey—the highs and lows, the victories and defeats, the moments of pure joy and heart-wrenching sorrow. But through it all, they had remained steadfast in their love for each other, weathering every storm that came their way with grace and resilience.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the orchard, Red and Neri found themselves lost in a sea of memories, their hearts overflowing with gratitude for the life they had shared.

Neri: "Do you remember our first dance, Red? It feels like just yesterday."

Red smiled, pulling Neri close as he swept her into a gentle waltz beneath the swaying branches of a guava tree.

Red: "How could I forget? You were the most beautiful girl in the room, and you still are."

Neri laughed, her eyes twinkling with mischief as she rested her head against Red's chest.

Neri: "You always know just what to say, don't you?"

Their dance continued, a timeless melody of love and devotion that echoed through the orchard, weaving a tapestry of memories that would last a lifetime.

As they danced, Red and Neri felt a sense of peace wash over them, knowing that their love would endure for all eternity. For theirs was a love that had stood the test of time—a love that had weathered every storm and emerged stronger and more resilient than ever before.
