The sterile smell and bright lights reached and flickered across every corner of the quaint hospital. Doctors and nurses running on little to no sleep were running the corridors as if they're life depended on it, well, someone else's. A dark-haired woman with sleek features and hair that trailed just below her back held onto her husband's hand tightly as she was wheeled towards the delivery room. The bags underneath her eyes were not very noticeable, her usually calm face beginning to turn a darker shade and her long brown hair now tied up messily in a bun as sweat began to line her forehead. It was half-past midnight, an early winter morning before anything happened. The doctor entered the room, and the cries of a beautiful baby girl were soon heard throughout the delivery room. Innocent and untainted by the world she had just been born into, she was just minutes into the world, but it was as if she already knew, her life would be a hard one. -December 4th,1996

Featured by @Romance .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. "Why do you make these paper flowers?" He asked, looking at her through the mirror. "They don't wither like the real ones." She replied, aligning the entire bunch of paper flowers. "But they don't have the fragrance." He politely challenged her. He was a soldier. Chivalrous was his middle name. "These paper flowers, they stay with you for as long as you want. You don't really have to throw them away like people discard the real ones. They pluck them for the fragrance and colors. But once that fades, they throw it away." She said, finally looking up at him. "Not everyone!" He added almost immediately, taking one more step forward. It could be his height or his longer stride, or maybe the room was too small as it only took him two steps to reach her. "Yeah! Of course! Exceptions are there, like poets and people in love." She walked in a different direction, putting those flowers on the table. He rolled his eyes with a defeated sigh. She was a teacher. Arguing with her was as futile as making a sand castle on a seashore. "You know, gone is the era when people used to preserve the flowers of their loved ones. We don't have people like that anymore!" She said as she faced him. "We don't have that kind of love anymore." He said looking straight into her eyes. She held his gaze through the mirror for a while, trying to read through him. "I agree." Murmuring under her breath, she turned around. Taking a deep breath, watching her retreating figure, he brought out his favorite poetry book from the shelf. After he was sure she was not looking, he ruffled through the pages till he found a dried Hibiscus. The very same one which had fallen from her bag when he first saw her. With a small smile, he cautiously caressed the petals. He closed the book with a fond sigh and found her looking at him. She couldn't hold his gaze for long and looked down, crimson covering her cheeks. He shook his head with a chuckle.
