The Final Smile

   The silence reverberated in the hospital ward,and it was all one could hear. Oblivious of the world outside or the crowd in the room trying to share their personal moment, they readily stared at each other. That one hard look that conveyed the emotions words could not. Words seemed rather shallow to them now. They weren't required for a pair who could read thoughts in each other's eyes.

   His eyes were a beautiful deep colour, the darkest black imaginable,without the malice one might associate with the colour. Her's were stone cold and lacked depth and beauty. He would prolly disagree with that conclusion of course; to him, her eyes were the epitome of profound grace and emotion.

   They stared on,looking into each other's eyes,trying to convey any unsaid message. The future held no importance to them because of fate's intervention. He was terminally ill, probably breathing his last.

   They lived in the present. They had reached a point where acceptance had made the pain of losing the other easier.

A change in his expression distracted her. The corners of his lips turned up in a smile. He smiled at her with finality. She failed to comprehend this sudden change. He closed his eyes and departed with her face behind his lids. He died a happy man with no regrets. His only regret was leaving her.
