My other half

A loss

Yes, its you and me,

always, you said

But I'm alone

Be it the catastrophe

Or your dislike

But I'm alone

Daina wakes up. Its 8:30 am. And again, she is staring and humming these lines. She has never heard it but every single line familiar.

She is again crying and now she has to go to her funeral. Ellie's funeral.

Daina and Kate both gave her last words in the cemetery.

''Daina, can you come over my place?''

"Kate...'' Daina trails off and both cry.

''Ok I'll be there.''

.............................................................

A month later

''Yes, its you and me

always, you said

But I'm alone

Be it the catastrophe

Or your dislike

But I'm alone'' Daina sings on her way to school one Monday.

''Creepy. Where did you get it?'' says Kate trembeling.

"Oh Kate, I don't know. From the day Ellie left, I'm singing it''

''Quiet old it seems'' says Kate

''But I'v never heard..''

''Daina, lets grab something to eat. I'm hungry.''

''But..'' Daina trails off.

''Later''

They hear a soothing music.

''70s'' they both say together.

''Kate, its the music. Yes Kate.''Daina says and starts to sing the same song.

''Daina, stop!''Kate yells.

''Ok, but it was an animal attack they said'' says Daina.

''Get over it Daina''

''How can you Kate? I know you have a strong heart but that doesn't mean you can say anything about her. For god's sake Kate, its only been a month.''

''I know. Sometimes, we are too weak to know what really had happened'' says Kate.

''I'm coming over yours.''says Daina

''No'' says Kate

''Thats mean''

''I'll meet you tomorrow.'' says Kate busy on her own thoughts.

Then she leaves with a grave look and a confused look as if calculating something, finding the truth.

Too busy to even smile and say bye
