Sienna's hand leaves Cole's face not able to believe what she was seeing, she looked at her husband's face , then at the entangled hand and then at her hand.

Eros and Sienna were broken when they saw Aurora and Cole dead, but now they felt dead.

Eros only looks at the entangled hands with shock , slowly the shock in his eyes are turned into sorrow and steadily it changes into anger. Anger directed towards the world, anger that adds salt to his wounds, anger that where did he lacked, anger for every lie he lived with Aurora believing it to be a love story made in heaven but most importantly anger towards the guy who snatched his love who was never truly loved him.

Eros glared at the corpse of Cole with loathe, the guy who had something that Eros lacked but the question was what.

The two cops looked at Eros and Sienna with pity after all they can see the two people losing their world. Everyone felt sympathy towards them, Sienna can only look at her husband with disbelieve not able to contemplate the truth.

" When we found the corpses, both had their hands tightly entangled" the nurse said to her companion standing beside her, unknown that she was being heard by both Sienna and Eros.

"I thought they were husband wife but I guess I was wrong " She continues to her partner who looks at her and then back at the bodies covered in sheet and body bag.

"I think they were having an affair, because both were married and their respective partners are also here" The partner replied to the nurse. Each sentence they spoke was like a tight slap to Eros who quickly steps back from Aurora like she burned him, Aurora had actually burned the faith and heart which Eros gave to her and burn wounds can never be healed, because they always leave mark behind them as reminder.

Sienna who was listening to the conversation looks at Eros backing away from the entangled hands like its a plague and saw Eros backing towards the edge of cliff.

" Sometimes learning one's secret could destroy everything and shows the reality which is cruel" she says and Eros rolls his eyes.

The conversation repeats in Eros head like a tape recorder with several flashbacks coming at same time. Eros could see Aurora and his kiss that sealed them into the pure bond of marriage, exchanging the rings , walking the aisle looking beautiful as ever. Everything in backwards motion like rewinding a scene of a black and white movie like removing the rings, walking the aisle backwards out of door and out of life.
