'You're here again Mr. Will' said the shopkeeper.
It was a heavy rainy day of a small village.
I run to a medical shop on the way, I stopped there and thought to wait until it stops raining.
I saw a old man was standing on the path with a umbrella, I asked the shopkeeper about that old man
The shopkeeper replied that 'The old man come here everyday and stare that balcony for hours'
(You can change it as your choice)
I was curious about it that why an old man would stare a balcony at day like this..?
I saw that he was holding a picture in his hands,
Me: why he's holding that picture it is important to him..?
The shopkeeper: he always has that picture in his hands but never shows what is that picture.
Later a minute that old man came by and hand his umbrella, i refuse to take it but he left without saying anything.
Time goes by and winter season started, I was at home and my grandma came to me saying she got fever so I bring her medicines but at this snowing day I just thought of that medical where I show that old man I left to take the medicine.
When I reached there I saw that old man was still standing there and I go to him,
Me: I gave you your umbrella back when I come here next time.
He looked at me and that glare was really ethereal I was a little scared about it and took the medicine and left.
Next day I came again to that path because it wasn't snowing, and saw him standing there again and I go to him and gave him back his umbrella.
He took it and started to stare that balcony again. I asked him that why he's holding this picture in his hands,
He showed me that picture and I saw that it's a picture of a young man and a lady. and the man looked exactly like him.
(You can change if you want)
Me: it's you in this picture right mr..?
The old man nodded yes.
Me: who's this lady beside you.?
Is she's your wife..?The old man just kept staring at the balcony.
Me: uh does she lives there..??
(points that balcony)Me: if she lives here then why don't you go and meet her.
The old men looked at me in my eyes and immediately looked at that balcony and just got startled.!
A tear came out of his eyes and his body was like freezing coldI asked him if he's okay
The old man: ah sh-she's there I-i saw her!I got shocked it was the first time he talked but how there was nobody up there at the balcony, he got hallucinations of hers.
I hold his hands and ask him to come inside because he kept freezing,
The old man: no she's here, she is wearing the same white dress just like the picture she is still pretty and young like the past times no, I can't go,
I want to hold her in my arms, I want to cry with her, I can't let her go please! my Roselyn!!
