The sound of rain.

It was well past 5am in the morning. She could feel the warmth of his arm around her waist under the blanket. Outside she could hear the sound of rain. Her eyes were happily moist when her gaze was fixed at him. He was deep asleep and the sound of his breathing filled the room.

She slowly managed to get off his arms and come out of the blanket. With the help of a towel, she covered her modesty and sat on the bed beside him. She looked at him again. Her memories flew to their proposal day.

\”I know I am nothing today but if you stay with me now, I will build an empire and you will be the princess in it.\” He had said amidst the thunderstorms.

She got off the bed finally and made her way to the washroom. On her way, she passed several photos of her happy family hung on the wall. After quietly locking the door to the washroom, she looked at the mirror. She moved her hands over her face.

\”The wrinkles have made its way but I am a princess now.\” She thought to herself and smiled.

The rain has slowed down outside.
