After the composed Asu took over control, she pulled her right hand out from the slant pocket and outreached to the pocket knife that caught her eyes.
'If emotional pain would slip away
into physical pain,
let me take the pain in your place.
Your happiness is something
I have to accomplish.
You are the person I must have to protect.
I would not die for you
but I would live with you-
till the end of our lives.'A step followed by another, the brunette strolled along the nearly-empty street. The charcoal canvas above got crackled with brilliant streaks of white. The roaring thunder came like the prelude to a great song- a departure song from life that the Grim Reaper sang at full blast.
It hushed the passersby before the pitter-patter of the raindrops shooed the crowds away and emptied the street- leaving only the spiritless brunette wandering on the lonely street like a soulless soul.
As if an unannounced war, the soft rain turned heavy. It battered the pathway, creating puddles of water on the ground. It battered the brunette, drenching her strands of hair as well as her outfits.
'Let the rain come down and wash away my tears', she came to understand that the lyric did not lie. As the raindrops poured onto her pale face, they did not only washed away her streaming tears but also chased away her urge to shed a tear.
