She made no effort to fulfil his demand and just stared at the painting.
"I said get up-" General Officer walked inside the cell and placed his hand upon her shoulder " Are you even listening to me?"
" I am sorry Ashton! If I never fell for the silver and you for the lead, we would have been together." She talked to the painting as if there was a real person. standing before her.
"Are you crazy ,woman? talking to a painting!!" He protested but failed in making her move.
"If that day, our eyes didn't stare at each other. Only if sky didn't meet the barred cloud, the rosy hue would have been there." She closed her eyes and clutched the painting to her chest tightly for the last time.
Officer grabbed both of her arm and struggled in pulling her up.
"In sooth, be my Romeo again and I , be your juliet."
With her last sentence, she breathed for the final time before departing to her love of life to the death.
"Indeed those grey eyes when met with blue ones,
time frozen with a click,
and love finally found its affectionate den, even if it was, in disguise, a bed of death."
