It’s been a week when they came back India. Last Monday conference night was still fresh in nandni’s mind. How that night ended with lots of arguments and deep pain. Next morning when nandni came downstairs for breakfast, manik already left for Italy.

It wasn’t in schedule at all, no one knew why suddenly he changed the plan. Victoria was more surprised than daniel and nandni. She had no idea what conference night happened and Daniel didn’t intend to bring her in husband-wife's personal matter. After breakfast they packed their bags and Daniel, Victoria, nandni and Aaron came back India.

Today was monday and was very hectic busy day at office. Daniel was out of city for an urgent meeting. Lying on the couch in living room nandni couldn’t help recalling everything happened during this trip.

She sighed deeply and, wished She could make everything ok in one blink of eye. She could delete every bad memory from her system. She wanted to be hidden so that she couldn’t face worries.

Nandni was lost in her deep thoughts when mukti, Abhi and Cabir entered in living room. When Nandni came back, all of them were at airport to receive her. They all felt it was best way to meet manik. They were so desperate to see him specially Ishani and Raj. But when they found manik wasn’t with them, nandni felt really bed for all of them.

“By the way you never told us how was your second honeymoon with grumpy man....!” mukti asked while falling freely at the same couch where one minute before nandni was lying down. Listening her choice of words, Cabir and Abhi laughed teasingly. Nandni just face palmed as her cheeks started getting red.

“Oh my God, it wasn't honeymoon at all. Infect even I can’t say it was any family time. Schedule was so tight. Mukti di you know your brother very well....!” nandni replied pulling her knees up against her chest.

“Don’t worry we are doing an amazing planning. A complete blasting family reunion. Parul's birthday is closer. So we going to arrange a dinner party where we will invite manik, and other fellows. Aunti and uncle will get best time to spend with manik. And may be seeing all of us any miracle can bring his memories back....!” Cabir explained how they gonna implement their planning. Parul is mukti’s daughter who was going to celebrate her very first birthday.

After thinking many times, when nandni couldn’t stop herself she sent text to Daniel. To know if manik contacted him or not. There wasn’t any limit to her happiness when Daniel told her that manik was back and will join office from tomorrow.

That same office where she did hard work day and night to handle the responsibility of her whole family, was no more the same place. Since  the day manik bought this company, everyday was a new challenge to test her patience. Every day was an exam of her yearnings. Seeing him every day at front of herself but still can’t claim her rights at him.

           ---------------

The next week also passed this way, she didn’t see a single glimpse of manik. She felt like he was avoiding her purposely. Whenever he needed to deal with her about work, he sent his manager. He just kept locking himself in his cabinet, becoming totally work edict.

It was late night when nandni was still busy doing some work. All employees left hours ago. But nandni needed to stay extra time.. Many times she felt whispers from the cabinet of manik, it was so relaxing that at least there was someone else also in this dark huge building. She was feeling drowsy when still one file was left to sort out.

She stood up and went into pantry to make one cup of tea to bring herself into senses. For some time she debated if she should make one cup for him also or not. At the end she decided to make one for him too. She knocked softly and pushed the door open slowly. Her entrance forced his eyes to leave his laptop he was working at and looked up. She felt his continuous stare at herself while covering the distance from door to his desk.

He raised an eyebrow at her, intensity blinking from his eyes. His overall appearance was different today. He had removed his coat and placed at the back of his chair, sleeves folded till his elbows, his hairs were a rough tough mess, eyes were dull and skin colour pale. She wandered if he was ok. It was too painful to see him like such lost soul.

“what’s this...!” He asked with blank expressions.

“Cup of tea...!” She shrugged simply like it wasn’t any big deal.

“I didn’t ask for it...!” He replied curtly, diverting his eyes back at his laptop.

“I thought you would be tired so a cup of tea would be ok....!” She whispered looking at him.

“I don’t need it, I’m just leaving...!” He replied curtly still typing aggressively at laptop. Nodding her head she took cup of tea and left his room. She shifted her gaze back to catch his one last glimpse before closing the door. To her dismay he never tried to lift his eyes to see that how his rude behaviour was snatching every colour of her life. 

           ------------

She stood at front of her room window where she can see huge back yard where parking was located. Night was little breezy and yellow leaves were falling from trees. Cruel air making them flutter mercilessly. The only sound she can hear was of leaves, when gush of wind passing by them. She was sipping her tea when she noticed a familiar face walking towards his car with his laptop bag in one hand and in other he was holding mobile.

In the light of parking his dark hairs were tickling against his forehead. Stopping near his car he remained busy talking with may be any client. His expressions were intense at the moment, like he was arguing with someone. How she wished she could keep looking at him. Taking a deep sigh she closed her eyes. She inhaled the same air which was coming towards her after gathering his cologne. She opened her eyes when her beating heart dared to look at him.

Almost as if he could feel her, he turned around and directly switched his eyes towards her. Her pulses racing at unusual pace. She expected him to divert his eyes back towards his car but surprisingly he kept his eyes glued at her. His deathly intense gaze giving her the ability to temporarily bring her into shock. She couldn’t remove her eyes from his face. There was tiredness in his orbs, like they were battling against the pain he was going through. How she wanted to run and ask him, why he was looking so pained. What was bothering him. But will he allow her to break the walls, he was caging him inside.

Her sigh was a mixture of agony and infuriation, she held the curtains and pulled together. Blocking his stare entirely which was causing an unsettling feelings to run through her entire body. His mere presence around her made her believe that how incomplete she is. After few seconds she heard  his car engine started and he left the building, leaving her all alone. She felt her throat becoming even more dry and painful when she tried to blink away her unshed tears.

              -------------

Next few days also passed like this. Tomorrow was parul’s birthday. All were so excited to see manik. Nandni was so worried that, either she will be successful to bring him at his own niece's birthday party or not. She was  determined to do anything to bring him at home. Today ishani and Raj were coming to invite manik personally.

Nandni was just praying that this time they could see him. Because if they couldn’t see him like airport then it will be really difficult to handle them. Ishani was already going through a killing emotional situation. Nandni tried to concentrate at her work but today her focus was somewhere else.

After few minutes nandni received call from reception that her mom and dad came to see her. Nandni hang the receiver with shivering hands and ran out of her room. As she reached at reception, she found Ishani and Raj having a brightest smile at their faces. Their eyes twinkling with hope that today finally they will see their son.

“Nandni bety, where is manik. Uska room kahan hey...!” Ishani came forward in such hurry that nandni felt that she doesn't even want to waste a single second.

“Mom relax he is in meeting and in just few minutes, he will be free. Dad you know your son is really work-edict. All the time just busy....!” nandni chuckled while sitting in raj’s feet. She was trying to enlighten the thick atmosphere.

“After all he is my son. Success and hardship is in his blood...!” Raj replied proudly while patting her head with devotion and kindness.

“Ok then, Come with me.....!” standing up nandni asked receptionist to inform her when Alexander sir will be free. Nandni held raj’s wheelchair and took them in waiting room.

             ------------

It’s been 15 minutes, three of them were waiting impatiently. Ishani was moving back and forth, sometimes looking out. Her eyes were stuck at the door like manik will come any time.

“Mom relax, come and sit here. His room is at opposite side. After meeting he will go directly in his room. Don’t worry receptionist will inform us when manik will be free....!” nandni brought Ishani and made her sit at sofa. They were busy talking about Aaron when receptionist came inside.

“Mrs Malhotra, meeting is over...!” as receptionist said those words all stood up in excitement but her next few words were enough heavy to crush their hopes.

“But Alexander sir directly left from meeting to see one client. I’m sorry I don’t think so he would be back before the night. But Mr Daniel is in his room....!” receptionist left the room after giving them most shattering news. Ishani sat back at sofa and couldn’t stop her tears to slip from her eyes.

“Mom don’t cry please. Just one more night. Tomorrow you will meet him. He will come at birthday party. I will bring him at any cost and it’s my promise. Please don’t cry...!” nandni was trying to console Ishani even when she knew it, the promise she was doing is really difficult to fulfil. She wasn't sure either manik will be agree to come at birthday party or not but for raj and ishani she will try to do any thing. After composing herself Ishani gave invitation cards to nandni.

“We will leave now, Aaron is with mukti and cabir. But you know sometimes he gets grumpy without any reason....!” Ishani tried to give a smile but it wasn’t reaching her eyes.

“After all beta kis ka hey. Gussa tou naak parr rakha hota hey....!” Raj chuckled while bringing his wheelchair closer to them. After listening to Raj, Ishani and nandni laughed in tears.

“But I won’t let you leave without a cup of tea. Let’s go...!” Holding the wheelchair nandni took both of them out of waiting room.

              --------------

After arranging a taxi for Ishani and Raj nandni went directly towards Daniel’s room. He was the only last hope, who can convince manik to come at birthday party. She knocked at his door and his heavy yet tired voice allowed her to come in.

“Hey beautiful. It’s my pleasure to have you this early in my room. So tell me what bring you here to bless me your visit…!” Daniel as usual in fully charming mood. Nandni shook her head while chuckling at his flirtatious remarks. She came forward and fisted the back of chair tightly.

“Ummm I need your help….!” She said lowly looking at floor. His hazel eyes surveyed her worried face. Pushing his chair back Daniel came towards her. As he stopped closer finally she looked up straight into his curious eyes.

“You were crying…!” He tried to look into her red eyes when she was trying her best to avoid.

“No I’m fine..!” She tried to give her best smile.

“All want to meet Manik. Mom dad were here to invite him for his niece’ birthday, but he left the office straight after meeting. Please I need your help. We want to bring him in birthday party. Everyone wants to meet him. Please you need to convince him to come…!” Nandni explained everything in one go.

“Ok ok relax. Take a breath. Come sit here. Let’s plan something less suspicious..!” Daniel held her arm and brought ahead to sit at chair. He knew already they need to think calmly.

              --------------

Finally it was parul’s birthday. Everyone was so much excited to see manik. Nandni had full trust at Daniel. She knew already if he promised to bring him then definitely he will.

“Nandnj you are looking simple but really pretty...!” mukti said while joining nandni in the restroom of the hall they booked for parul's birthday party.

“I don’t know why I’m feeling so exhausted when I didn’t even do any thing. I just lost all the courage to put on some thing fancy...!” nandni said while combing her long straight hairs.

“Since the time my bro left, you never even tried to dressed up. But today is the occasion when your natural beauty is shining even without fancy dress or make up....!” mukti smiled while looking at nandni’s reflection in the mirror. Nandni was anxious to look appropriate but not over. Looking last time at herself both left to join all other family members in the hall.

           -------------

Dozens of the people arriving, lots of gifts for little angel were offered along with warm greetings. A sweet melody was played, giving a peaceful feelings in this crowded chirping atmosphere.

It’s being quite late and still Daniel hadn’t shown up with manik and Victoria. Everyone was just waiting impatiently for manik until cabir saw a car stopped.

“Nandni. Mukti. Where is auntie and uncle. Manik... Manik aa gaya. I saw him. I can’t believe it, I saw him. After years my friend was there....!” cabir was looking out of window from the 5th floor which was giving full view of parking. He was screaming joyously, ecstatically and so piercingly that it set everyone's ear tingling.

Nandni felt her heart picked unusual pace. The only name that could easily cause the hair to stand on her whole body. Goosebumps pulled their way at every inch of her skin. After painful years tonight her whole family was going to be completed. Under one roof all together. Mukti and nandni both ran towards window where cabir was looking out.

“I wish I could just reach out and give him a tight hug....!” mukti said while looking out of the window. She was the one who was asking all of them to behave strongly, but just one glimpse of her brother she couldn’t control her happy tears.

“Listen I know you all are so desperate to meet him but don’t you think if leaving whole party, we all will run towards him to drag him in here, it would be little weird. So let’s be professionals and we all will stay here and just nandni and auntie should go....!” cabir said the whole plan. Nodding their heads nandni ran to find Ishani.

According to plane they should be outside of the hall, before three of them reach there. This meeting should look like a just co incidence.

“Mom manik is here. Come with me....!” nandni pulled Ishani at side from a group of her friends. Both of them ran outside of the hall. Both were facing their backs towards main entrance. The sound of shoes upon the glossy hardwood floor alerted both of them. Daniel manik and Victoria just entered in the hotel.

Nandni turned around and her eyes got stuck on the one person who was walking behind daniel and victoria. His expressions were showing he wasn’t interested to come along them, but God knows how Daniel convinced him to join both of them to have dinner in this hotel.  He was walking so carelessly, in such elegance that it wasn’t shocking for nandni to find every female eyes glued on him. His dark silky hairs were neatly brushed back, light stubble was giving him extraordinary look. His black suit seemed perfect for his intimidating personality. Everything about him was screaming fancy and expensive.

        --------------

“Helo sir...!” nandni’s soft voice stolen the attention of three of them. As manik turned around to face her, he couldn’t hide his little surprised expressions. Looking at her son after years Ishani couldn’t hold her tears back.

“Manik....!” Ishani mumbled under her breath. She took fast steps towards him but nandni held her arm to stop her. This time Ishani understood that she can’t run straight and hug him directly. It will make him feel awkward. Nandni signalled a no with pleading eyes and Ishani took a deep breath while nodding slowly.

“Oh hi, nandni what are you doing here. I’m sure any private party is going on....!” Daniel asked, a little curiously.

No doubt he was acting very professionally like he didn’t even have any idea about it. Manik seemed to not be too bothered about nandni’s existence so Nandni also tried to not acknowledge him as well.

“yes sir it’s my niece’ birthday party...!” nandni replied stealing glances towards manik who was standing behind carelessly. His plain expressions were showing he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

“Sir she is my mother and Mom it’s Mr Daniel, Victoria and Mr Ale-Alexander....!” nandni introduced every one but listening manik’s fake name ishani felt something broken deep inside. She took slow step forward and hugged Victoria at first, then daniel. All the time her eyes remain glued at manik. The time she reached manik, she couldn’t hide the desperation and devotion for her son. She wrapped her arms around manik, making him totally perplexed. Manik looked taken aback after receiving such motherly hug after ages.

Suddenly his grumpy expressions had softened. He raised his hands hesitantly to place at her shoulder. Listening the beating heart of his son ishani couldn’t control her tears any more. She placed a very gentle kiss at his chest that even manik couldn’t feel it. She didn’t want to break the hug but seeing his discomfort ishani slowly moved back. Wiping her tears hideously she cleared her throat. Every one got silent as didn’t know what to say so ishani took opportunity to invite them.

“Nice to meet you all. Please I request you to come and join us. Please...!” the way ishani requested, every one could see the turmoil in his eyes, wondering if it would be right thing to do. He continued to stare at all of them with blank eyes. Nandni felt her heart sinking when she sensed that he didn’t want to come or probably he wasn't able to decide.

“Definitely we would love to. When mom is asking so lovingly how we can deny. Am I right...!” Daniel said wrapping his arm around ishani’s shoulders. Victoria smiled showing her agreement and now it was just manik who needed to give approval. Manik just paused and he looked at every one. As his eyes stopped at ishani, his eyes once again softened.

“Ok...!” manik said in a hushed whisper. Every one got happy like they won a big trophy. Nandni shifted at side to give them way to enter. Manik was the last one who took few seconds before taking his first step. Her stomach quenched when his dark eyes suddenly found hers. Taking slow steps he covered distance towards her. Shaking her head she closed her eyes tightly when he passed by her. His cologne wafting underneath her nose.

In that one moment she wished her life to be a fairly tale and she'd kiss him and he'd remember everything. These two years she cried countless times but when he’s at front of her still these tears somehow found their way. Finally tonight she fulfilled her promise to bring him and his whole family under one roof.

         --------------

Party was on full swing. After entering inside everyone did the same. They greeted him so warmly that now manik started feeling more anxious. He didn’t know how impatiently this whole family waited for him. After cake cutting, dinner was served.

“Mom won’t you eat anything....!” nandni asked Ishani who's eyes remained whole time locked on manik, observing his each movement like he was a just dream. If she blinked her eyes he will vanished away.

“Look at him. My heart is paining, he is looking at his whole family. I can feel how much he is missing us. Who says he forgot us. Can’t you see the longing in his eyes....!” Ishani whispered signalling towards manik. Nandni couldn’t control her tears when she saw him sitting far away but looking at the table where whole family was gathered.

“Mom don’t be sad, we should be thankful that God kept him safe. Look he is fine, he is alive. He will recover slowly. Go and eat something otherwise all of them also will remain hungry....!” nandni said while pushing her towards their table where every one was waiting for ishani. Ishani nodded her head and went towards the table where whole family was eating. Nandni kept standing there still looking at him. Any one could feel his stance was restless.

Before nandni could manage to spin her eyes away from manik, he turned his head, catching her intrusive eyes with his. Her heart raced beneath her chest and she felt her hands started being clammy. Nandni hastily turned around to look for her whole family. She went slowly towards table.

            ------------

“Why you are not coming. Everyone is waiting for you....!” Daniel came towards manik who was sitting in one corner. Since the time he came here he just didn’t leave that corner.

“Please, I’m not feeling hungry. You guys go and have dinner. This bloody music is hammering in my head....!” manik replied while rubbing his temples. Daniel didn’t force him and came back towards table.

“You also won’t eat like him....!” Daniel whispered in nandni’s ear. Nandni smiled seeing how much he was doing efforts to make manik comfortable among his own family.

“I will eat later. I need to handle my baby first....!” nandni smiled while tickling Aaron. His soft giggles stolen the attention of whole family. No doubt in this thick atmosphere his giggles brought waves of peace around them.

“Ok. Give me this baby. Its his dad’s turn to handle him. A gentleman should handle his baby when his wife having her dinner. Am I right....?” daniel asked everyone on the table. Nandni’s eyes got widened when she understood his plane. Nandni tried to stop Daniel but all others were fully at his side. They raised their thumbs up. Winking at them he took Aaron from nandni and went towards manik. Nandni face palmed when she saw Daniel stopped beside manik. Every one was looking so desperately that how manik will handle Aaron. It was like a dream of each family member to see Aaron in maniks arms.

             --------------

Daniel led the way towards manik, all the while muttering soft things to Aaron. Daniel stopped near manik and tapped his shoulder. Manik turned his face back towards Daniel and his eyes moved towards the Aaron in his arms. Only then did everyone realise that their hearts were beating faster from the excitement.

Nandni stood up from her chair, totally unaware of her restlessness. She couldn't miss the shock and then some softness in Manik's orbs as he kept looking at Aaron.

“Awww momma he’s ditto copy of manik....!” mukti’s exciting voice forced everyone to compare manik and then Aaron. No doubt they both have same, chocolate brown eyes, sharp nose, same black hairs. It’s just Aaron have chubby cheeks like mommy.

                ---------------

“If you dont want to eat at least you can do a favour. Please can you hold this baby so that his mommy can have dinner peacefully....!” Daniel asked manik and without listening his reply he just Aaron placed in Manik's arms.

Seeing Manik's confused expressions every one laughed. Manik looked at Aaron and then back towards Daniel.
As soon Aaron came into manik’s arms he kept looking at him like trying to recognise that familiar face. Nandni was surprised as Aaron smiled, grabbing tightly onto the collar of his shirt.

Suddenly parul’s giggles moved their attentions back towards herself. When nandni looked back towards manik he was looking straight towards her. She was worried that, was he angry that she sent her baby towards him to handle. His blank face made nandni ore worried. But as soon manik diverted his eyes back towards Aaron who was giggling and talking in his toddler voice, manik couldn’t hide his smile. Nandni could feel her entire body got relaxed. She let out a breath of relief almost like She had been holding it since ages.  

            ---------------

“They are very nice people. I can’t return their favours my whole life. They took care of my son when no one from us was with him....!” Raj said still looking at Daniel and Victoria who were laughing standing near manik.

“Mom dad look at him....!” nandni said while looking at Manik and Aaron. Manik was holding him in his lap. Aaron’s back was against his chest. Manik was whispering something in Aaron’s ear while wrapping his arms around her tummy. They all were surprised that how Aaron was comfortable and happy. In his toddler voice he was talking to manik while playing with his fingers. No doubt there was a natural attraction between father and son.

“I missed you. I missed these moments....!” nandni mumbled under her breaths. She was standing in one corner, at safe distance where she could see manik and Aaron clearly but they couldn't see her. Her little boy in Manik's arms felt like, something warm pulled her soul out of the cold. The darkness around her was being fading away. Overwhelmed feelings started growing as soon she witnessed manik gently brought his palms up and kissed them softly.

            -------------

No one ate properly because the distraction of manik and Aaron had kept the whole family preoccupied. She turned her eyes back towards manik’s table. But he wasn’t there. Daniel was standing far away with Aaron in his arms. Her heart fell deep into her stomach as she imagined what if he already left the party.

Nandni started looking for manik everywhere. She went towards balcony. But there was also no one. Turning around she banged into someone. Before she could fell down he held her arms securely. 

“Nandni are you ok. Why are you running like this....?” cabir asked steadying her at her feet. 

“Ma-manik, he left already...?” she asked still looking around. Her each breath was rattled as she tried to catch them. Cabir smiled seeing her concern. Cabir shook his head and turned her face in the direction where she found him. She took a deep breath after seeing him sitting far away with Victoria while Daniel was busy talking to Raj.

“I know its not easy for you. Look at him how he is looking at whole family. He still feels that pull towards his family. He just needs time and our support. Just don’t cower away. I’m always with you. Any help you need just one call just one call and I would be beside you...!” cabir said while settling his eyes all the time at his friend.

“Thanks for being here. I won’t let you down. I promise. I assure you that I will do everything to bring him back...!” She said while snuffling the snot that was clogging her nostrils. Holding her shoulders Cabir turned nandni towards himself.

“You know whenever we asked you to get marry, you always refused. I was always surprised how you were so sure that Manik will come back. I mean it was just your pure love for him, you never imagined to even replace him....!” cabir stated each word with proud. 

“The only reason I couldn’t get over him because he also loved me, even more than I do. Without Manik I’m nothing. Just this hope that may be he will come back someday, kept me into my senses otherwise, I had died the same day he left me....!” Her each word was clear to see how deeply they both are connected.

“That’s my sister. You are so strong. I’m sure you will fight for him. You will bring him back...!”He chuckled pulling her into hug. Before she could pull herself back she felt presence of someone. As she pulled herself little away, two piercing eyes were the first thing to hit her vision. She caught her breath and moved away sharply.

Her eyes jumped out of their sockets in shock. Manik looked down and when he raised his face, his eyes seemed pained. Nandni felt her heart dropped down to her feet. Once again he listened her love life without knowing she was always talking only about him. She never loved someone, how much she loved him.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you guys.....!” manik’s voice was dead of emotions. Listening his apology nandni felt her stomach turned. She couldn’t find her single breath without paining her lungs. She couldn’t feel her heart beating anymore.

“It’s ok. We just came here to get fresh air....!” cabir smiled taking a step forward towards manik.

“We already met but once again, hello I’m cabir dhawan....!” cabir stretched his hand towards manik but manik didn’t remove his eyes from nandni for one second.

“I was just leaving....!” manik lowered his gaze, like awkwardness making him anxious. Nandni was surprised and confused as well. She never witnessed him this humble before. But there was something also in his eyes, she saw a wave of pain taking place of hope. She knew there had to be something to going on in his storm-full mind.

“I need to go....!” taking advantage of the situation, Cabir left from there leaving both of them alone. She moved towards Manik. She wanted to pull him into a tight hug where no worries can reach him.

The closer she moved, the clearer she could see all the pain he was going through. As she stopped few feet away from him, first time she saw glimpse of any emotions in his eyes. But this wasn’t she wanted to see in them. His confident gaze was looking everywhere except her.  For not a single second she missed, how his chocolaty orbs were full of longing and pain.

“He's very lucky. You love him so much. I can bet my everything to have such loving family and that one little champ....!” manik chuckled while keeping his eyes stuck at the table where all family members were playing with Aaron and parul. His every single word echoed in her mind, making her dizzy. For a moment she felt she was drowning, her heart was sinking in deep pain. She was losing the strength to pass this night without breaking into tears.

“He’s not lucky, infect I’m the lucky to have him, to have his baby, to have his family who never let me miss my own family” though she couldn’t locate her voice to speak these words loudly but her mind was shouting wildly.

“Are you leaving....!” She couldn’t stop herself from asking him. Manik stopped at his spot when he was going to turn around and leave. She saw his muscles got stiff under his perfectly hugging suit. As he looked up his surprised eyes were full of confusion. She felt her body felt the heat under her skin as he kept staring in her eyes. They were telling that his reply wasn’t gonna give any happy ending to this night. 

“I don’t have any reason to waste my time any more here.....!” the careless vibe was back in his voice. His face looked expressionless. She felt her whole world came crumbling down. May be this night would have less painful if she had not seen him breaking silently. For the world he might look like a stoned personality full of authority but she can see deep into him that he was torn to shreds.

He just left without saying anything. Was she aware that may be somewhere tonight he got broken completely with a dead soul, void of hopes.
