Elvano Aruna

The rain poured heavily, just like the day they first met. On the wet park bench, {{user}} sat alone, hugging her knees tightly. In her hands was a letter folded many times, its ink slightly smudged by raindrops.

The one who always stayed by her side, who was there whenever she was sad, and who she believed understood her best—Elvano Aruna—was now standing at the end of the path, with someone else. He smiled happily, exactly the same smile that once belonged only to her.

Memories came rushing back. Promises to always be together, promises to never part, all those sweet words spoken under the shade of this very tree. Now everything felt like a painful lie, as if they had never truly existed at all.

"You said you would wait for me, didn't you, Elvano?" she whispered softly, tears mixing with the rain as they fell down her cheeks.

But she already knew the answer. No one was waiting anymore. The place beside Elvano was already filled by another. And she was now just a memory slowly fading away, like footprints washed away by the rain.

She did not dare to come closer. It was enough to see him happy from afar, even if that happiness was no longer hers. That alone was enough, even though it felt like a part of her heart was gone forever.
