Every morning was not just same for Shruti. All her routine was now - Getting up, Breakfast, Teaching violin at music school and after long hours of teaching she would come home, have dinner and a sleepless night.

She was completely broken by her dear husband's death, another reason was constant frustration of her loss of memory. Loneliness had captured her life all over. She had stopped talking to people, even her friends and relatives.

She was good at teaching violin. As usual after her violin class she was walking her way home. She felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Shruti is that you!?" A woman in her 30s approached her.

Shruti was now smiling. "Monika!"

They both hugged.

"I heard about Rahul's death. I am so sorry Shruti. How can God be so cruel to such sweet people" said Monika.

Monika is Shruti's childhood friend. She went to USA for further studies, they are best friends. Though she is older than Shruti. They became friends in college. She got married and settled in USA, she came to India last week for visiting her parents. Her mother was not keeping well. While going home, she noticed a woman. Someone familiar. Then she recognized it was her best friend Shruti.

"Monika, why don't you come to my house! Its been years since I haven't talked with my best friend." Monika quickly sensed the loneliness in her words.

She said "Shruti. I am sorry. I can't come now. I have to be with my mom. She is in hospital. But I promise, I will come tomorrow. Anyway you take care."

Shruti's face fell by hearing this. But she agreed,as they both hugged each other goodbye.

At home while having dinner Shruti saw someone was standing upwards down on the ceiling. She was horrified. But when she saw again, there was nothing. She went to bed and closed her eyes. Rahul's image flashed in her mind. He was standing on a beautiful beach and he was pointing towards something and looked at Shruti. It seemed like Rahul was calling her somewhere. Then suddenly Rahul was pulled away by the waves.

She tried to remember something about their wedding night. She tried to remember with her full energy and suddenly her eyes flew open and goosebumps covered her body she recalled Rahul lying in a pool of blood beheaded.
