Placing his tools back, Songpa did not move from his place. He kept on sitting there for a really long time.
Songpa didn't want to go out and face Beth because he knew what would happen after he stepped out of the room and he was scared. He was scared of losing her, he was scared of letting her go.
If he would stay inside the room and never go out, Beth would be his woman forever right?
Songpa mocking smiled at himself and got up, ready to face everything that was waiting for him on the other side of the room.
….
Beth had neither opened her eyes nor had she stopped crying.
She wanted to forget everything that she had seen. She wanted things to be as they were but she knew that could never happen. She knew that nothing would remain the same now.
Placing his hand on her shoulder, Songpa said," Beth."
Beth shivered when she felt his touch. She quickly took several steps away from him.
