Ram's wife lied down on the couch, with tears and sorrow filled in her eyes as her mother sat on the floor next to her saying "is this what you get falling in love and getting married to this guy?.. do you deserve to go through this?"

As family members walked in and out of Ram's appartment with bouquets and garlands to place on his casket. Ram's mother stood with her back on the wall with shock from her only son's sudden death.

Ram's father had no words to utter as he sat next to his pampered son's casket with eyes filled with tears.

Ram's wife, Janani slowly closed her eyes. She was in this dark place surrounded by walls like a maze. She heard Ram crying and turned calling out to his name. She saw his shadow in a wall at the back of her as she turn.

Janani ran towards Ram's direction as he started running away. She finally stopped at a corner! She woke up from her dream and saw no one in the apparment except for the Maid.

Janani slowly woke up and sat on the couch. She walked to the fridge and drank some water. As she sat on the balcony, she tought back of her life with Ram in the biginning ages.
