Arshi: his tainted obsession
╰┈➤The sky was painted in hues of grey, and the rain softly whispered its rhythmic melody on the ground. As I walked through the dampened streets, I saw her-my butterfly, the one who had always fluttered gracefully through my life, now weighed down with a sadness I couldn't quite touch. She walked slowly, her fragile figure silhouetted against the misty rain, her heart clearly burdened by a sorrow too heavy for words. Her eyes, once vibrant with laughter and light, were now distant, clouded by the pain of a truth she had learned far too soon.
╰┈➤Through the soft drizzle, I heard her voice break the silence: "No one stays. Everyone leaves." The words were like fragile glass, shattering in the air. She didn't turn to look at me, as though afraid that even the slightest glance would reveal the depth of her hurt. I watched her, my heart aching for her, wishing I could shield her from the world's cruelty, from the loneliness she so quietly carried.
╰┈➤Without thinking, I rushed to her side, my jacket in hand, and gently draped it over her slender shoulders. The cool fabric felt like a tender embrace against the chill of the rain, but it was nothing compared to the warmth I wanted to give her. I took a step closer, my arms reaching out, pulling her into a tight embrace, as though I could somehow shield her from the storms both outside and within.
╰┈➤"Butterfly," I whispered softly, my voice steady yet full of resolve, "I'll stay. I won't leave you." The words carried the weight of a promise, one I knew I would keep no matter what. In that moment, the world seemed to pause, and I held her close, letting her feel the truth in my touch. She trembled slightly, and I knew that though the storm might rage on, she would never face it alone.
