Unspoken Droplets

9.

"I always tried to stand up on my own. There was another world that I had to touch, the one that was independent, working busy and she however was my way of reaching there. She came from the world I was longed to see but, after all she was trying to walk on her own as well, just like me until faith entangled the same pain in our lives.
We both were linked to the same monsoon beat, yet from diverged spheres.
We both felt a similar pain and ended up curing each other at last. If only we could've remained together".

"Will she ever come back?" Hina asked while walking into the terrace to accompany his present friend she gained back.
"I will never know" he replied starring into the clear sky which emerged after a very long time.
"Akio". It was a familiar voice he heard calling, it was Daisuke. He wanted to apologize and as expected, Akio was too grateful that his long lost friend had came back, he happily accepted his apology.  Ready to forget everything that their past held.
It worked like a miracle, the noises that crammed in his head was finally starting to fade away eventually.

"Where are you headed?" Daisuke asked when Akio was about to leave.
"I need to visit a place, for the last time maybe" those were the words before he left with a pure smile.

It was the same street again, but somehow different this time. The same bridge and the same shed but it was empty.
He gently placed his portrait of his dear Tanaka-san's smile with a mere hope of ever meeting her again.

She came as a stranger and left with so much to remember.
Akio finally reached the other sphere he always longed for, working everyday with a satisfaction that he was living how he promised to her.

Both of them finally succeeded in walking their own will, both succeeding in being happy in  their own worlds, under the showering clouds of passing years, tied with a bond that never touched again.
