◆Short Story!

Knowing her love for another, he had still forcefully married.

He loved her too much after all.

Providing land and water for her to survive and thrive in this harsh world, he didn’t care that she constantly ignored him and is smiling only at the sight of the one she loved.

Why does it matter anyway?

Knowing the person she loved could burn her once she approaches him, It was him who chose to tie her to himself so that she wouldn’t be able to approach her love.

He believed that he wasn’t allowed to garner feelings like jealousy. It was enough as long as he is able to protect her from burning herself, getting hurt. As for who she loves, It’s unimportant.

But, in the face of her feelings, the subject of her love remained indifferent. Just on his own way. Maybe, he was also aware of how he might harm her once he got close to her.

Observing them meticulously, the Universe had a question…

On the tips of the wrong lips, is the word ‘Love’ too much?

However, the Universe didn’t know to exactly whom to present this question among the three.

Maybe, It’s the Lotus’ fault for falling in love with the wrong person.

Or…

Maybe, it’s the Earth’s fault for wishing to protect her at the expense of his own heartache.

Or…

Maybe, it’s the Sun’s fault for being too harmful by nature.

However, who could blame who here when it’s all about the Universal order.

Once again…

As the warm Sun appeared in the sky early morning, Lotus, disregarding the Earth’s heart, once again smiled at her love, blooming beautifully…
