Two souls, two bodies, two states of mind. Living in a different realm.

Different worlds, same universe. Unattached.

Two strangers.

Somewhere above the land, under the sky, far from the ocean, amid the busy streets, between the skylines, God crossed their path. Their skin brushed to each other under a red light.

Their first friction happened in a raw yet natural way. Their body welcomed a new element.

Their telepathy just built within seconds.

Eye stares turned into a greeting smile,

A greeting smile turned into a “Hello”.

Their world just started its storyline. Ever since, they believed that God has created the best fate in the history of mankind.

Two hearts, interlinked. Attached.

Nothing can ruin their inseparable bond, except one of the nights in the Dry Season and his outburst temper.

Everything turned into a battlefield but with only one ally continuing to attack, while the other one had already raised the White Flag.

Scattered, shredded, all over the place.

It took months of sleepless nights, muffled crying, and relapses for her just to get over that one night.

Her bedroom walls, pillows, dim lights, and night sky watched her as if it’s a charade.

Day and night, surrounded by gloomy skies and tangible solitude.
