A DROP IN THE OCEAN

You know those times when you go into a relationship knowing it will be short term: we have this much time together and then for whatever reason, we have to go our separate ways. So it isn't about being serious, just about enjoying your time together. But even though you know from the first moment it isn't going to last, you let yourself fall into it. And you feel so much more than you ever intended. And you dream, and imagine, even though you know it has to end, that you'll be together forever. That it'll never end. And then your time runs out, just as you always knew it would. And you're left feeling so much, and it's over, and there is absolutely nothing you can do. Nothing at all.

They say love is patient, love is kind. But what they don't tell you is that love can also be devastating, merciless, and painfully fleeting. Francis Brooks thought he knew the meaning of love-until Xianon Pearson walked into his life. In the short time they spent together, she became his world: the warmth in his mornings, the calm in his chaos, the reason his heart dared to hope. She was his laughter on the rainiest days, the softness in a world that often felt harsh, and the spark that made every ordinary moment extraordinary. But Xianon was fragile in ways Francis could never fully protect her from. She carried secrets, illnesses, and burdens that threatened to pull them apart, no matter how tightly he held on. Every promise between them-every whispered "in a day or two"-was meant to be a lifeline, a hope that tomorrow would be brighter, that they could survive the storms life threw at them. Yet life has a cruel way of testing love. Sometimes, the people we cherish most slip through our fingers despite our best efforts, leaving only memories and a heartache that refuses to fade. And sometimes, love demands a choice: to let go, or to fight even when the odds are stacked against you. This is a story of love that burns fiercely, heartbreak that cuts painfully, and the resilience of a heart that refuses to surrender. It is about waiting when the one you love is gone, surviving when grief threatens to consume you, and finding the courage to keep living-even when tomorrow is uncertain. Because sometimes, it only takes a day... or even just a day or two... to change everything, to leave a mark that lasts forever, and to teach us that love, in all its joy and pain, is always worth the fight.

"Ezra,do you even know what love is,Oh I almost forgot you are an Orphan,how would you know?" His words were sharp as knife, piercing her healed wounds. She fisted her hands, trying to control her tears. He sighed in frustration running his hand through his hair. "Now mom will not stop till she has made you her daughter in law! Fu**! Why you!" He said ,pacing the room . Oblivion to the tears ,she tried her best to hide. He didn't love her. He never did, she was a fool to even think that he for once did.

-- PROLOGUE "Let me get this straight. We have nothing in between us, except for the deal we made that day" he spoke in a monotonous tone. "I am the one carrying your name behind me; we are married. how can you say we have nothing in between us? Huh" She yelled at him, tears blurred her vision, and she spoke her heart to him. "For god's sake, this marriage was to save you! Can't you get that? I did not do it willingly, I do not love you!!" He yelled back at her, shattering her heart into pieces. "Why can't you just love me?" She spoke, as she cried the tears of hurt, and pain. Her heart thumped loudly due to the shivering sensation She felt all over her body. "I never made a commitment to you, or gave you any false hope, neither did i say that i love you. Did i?" He asked her, in a very cold tone. She looked at him through her teary eyes. It's getting difficult for her to even breathe. "It was your eyes, the damn eyes. Who gave me the false hope. They say, "Eyes speak the truth," but what about mine? Couldn't you feel the sincerity within them, expressing my deep affection for you? Why didn't you see the love shining in them? Was it too complex to understand? Couldn't you notice the warmth as they gazed at you? They search for you in every corner, If only you realized how they silently echoed the emotions I couldn't articulate. They say, "Eyes never deceive." But what about yours? They played a trick on me when they met mine, painting a facade of a world that wasn't real. They made me feel loved, Leading me into a belief that crumbled, louder than your spoken promises. Why did they betray me? Was it your eyes or you that masked the truth?" He stayed still, not moving or saying anything at her statement. --
