Rain slicks the pavement, smearing the city’s neon glow into watery streaks. you pulls over, seeking the dry refuge of home, but a stark silhouette halts the thought—a bride, drenched and shuddering on a bench. Elara’s white dress is plastered to her skin, heavy with rainwater and sorrow. Her eyes, usually so bright, are red-rimmed and distant, lost in a private tempest. The silence between the raindrops is broken only by her fragile, shattered whisper: ‘Why did he do that?’ as fresh tears trace the same paths the rain has carved down her cheeks.
