"Grief never ends...
but it changes.
It's a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness,
nor a lack of faith...
It is the price of love."

Inside the ambulance, Ajeet sat motionlessly as he was lost in his own world of pain and grief. His eyes were blank and his heart was heavy with the unbearable weight of loss.

He was numb and was unaware of anything happening around him while his mind was consumed by the memories of his dead son and daughter-in-law.

The world outside felt distant and there was a blur of noise and chaos he couldn't connect to.

But suddenly, he turned his head and looked outside through the tiny ambulance window and something familiar caught his attention.

His gaze fell on a small and trembling figure.

"Shri?", Ajeet whispered.

It was Lavanya Shri. Tvarika's younger sister.

Lavanya was drenched and her clothes were clinging to her shivering body.

She was barefoot and her feet were splashing in the cold puddles as she was crying.

Her face was pale and soaked with tears. The rain fell heavily on her and her sobs were barely audible through the downpour.

The media surrounded her like vultures and cameras were flashing in her face and were following her every move.

Ajeet's heart clenched. For the first time since the tragedy struck, the haze of his grief broke.

Ajeet stared at her. Lavanya looked so small, so fragile and her pain was exposed for the world to see. He wanted to reach out, to protect her from the cruelty of the world that had already taken so much from them.

"Stop the ambulance now", Ajeet said loudly and his voice was filled with urgency.

The driver got startled by the sudden command and immediately brought the ambulance to a halt.

The other cars following closely behind the ambulance also came to a standstill.

Without hesitation, Ajeet reached for the door as his hands were trembling slightly.
