Three and a half years since the most traumatic times of their lives, though the external bruises have healed, permanent scars remain, still posing setbacks for them in day-to-day life.
What incepted for them as a casual social media connection, gradually turned into a heartfelt, lifetime bond. Witnessing the best and the abysmal of each other, and climbing the jubilance’s peaks and diving the sorrow’s trench, the two never let the evil forces, internal or external, inflict even a tad of harm to their bond.
Months on, knowing each other's lives head to toe, and clearing the torments of the society one obstacle at a time, the two moved onward and upward, setting new milestones in their journey, towards achieving the quintessential goal of their love affair.

But alas…the vile powers from the hell had different plans for them!
Facing the gradual emotional tremors for months, and dealing through the toughest of their times, there came the final blow on one fateful afternoon of December, a catastrophic jolt that devastated their lives forever, and how!

Though the things have gone permanently sour between the two, and the love rituals which they religiously followed have come to an agonic halt, everything worthwhile that remains after the passing of true love, still, on days, casts a soothing shadow in their lives.
Maybe they don't feel the same for each other, nor do they express their care, nor are they ever gonna meet in solace, utter a word, or pass a smile, but their hearts, even today, still skip a beat, catching a glimpse of each other, or walking down the heavenly rubble of shattered dreams, broken promises, and divine memories.
