Every morning at noon, we met and exchanged furtive glances.
It was more than just a simple bank transaction, it seemed like a secret rendezvous we longed for.
I looked forward to meeting you at the same time, avidly searching for you.
One day I arrived and you were not there. I delayed my efforts, but to no avail.
The next day, the same thing. The absence of our chance meeting made me uneasy.
I decided to ask about you to the employee who attended us.
His answer chilled my blood:
-His company went bankrupt with the crisis and he decided that his only way out was suicide.’
The words echoed in my mind over and over again. You, whom I had so longed to see, had chosen the most drastic path.
Our meaningful gazes would never cross again.
Shattered, I immediately moved to another bench.
Nothing made sense in that place that had once filled me with secret illusion.
The date I had longed for had been cut short in the most abrupt way. And you, you would be no more.
