She didn't open her eyes to look at the blood. She just wanted her imaginations to be the last thing she saw.

She saw her dad's serious yet kind face and her mum's look of admiration. She saw Nike cracking jokes with her. She saw Taj's beautiful face too. His face was close to hers, eyes filled with love; when he loved her.
