Where is my wife going

Avner was trying to fix his hair but then Nephthys arrived behind him and put her hand on his shoulder causing him to turn around and face her 

" You look just fine "

Nephthys reassured him but the moment he had laid eyes on her it was like he got into a deep trance, he couldn't believe his eyes. She was so beautiful right now, like an angel sent on earth, it felt like this kind of beauty did not belong to this world. Nephthys was always beautiful but she is the prettiest when she's happy, she was glowing 

" cough,cough Would you still like to get married today ? "

seeing how Avner was completely lost the nun couldn't help but remind him that they still needed to get married 

" Ah. right "

Avner was finally able to regain focus, seeing this scene their families felt the happiest for them 

" Avner Daeris do you take Nephthys to be your wife to cherish and love till death do you part ? "

" Yes. Not even death will break my love for her "

" Nephthys do you take Avner Daeris as your husband to cherish and to love till death do you part " 

" Yes. Even after death I will still love you "

" Very well, then I now pronounce you husband and wife. you may now kiss "

" I can't watch this " 

Deheeran and Dillon closed their eyes 

" open your eyes, what are you little kids ? "

Mira couldn't help but comment 

" That's why you are both still single, you will end up marrying each other "

hearing that insult they couldn't help but open their eyes but to their luck Avner only kissed her on the forehead 

****

It was finally night and the newly weds were still there under the tree watching the stars together 

" Avner…."

Nephthys softly called, her head leaning on his shoulder while their back leaned on the trunk 

"Hm "

Avner replied, both of them still looking at the sky 

" I am sorry but I am about to fall asleep "

Avner never looked at her he just tightened his hold on her hand 

" It's alright, I'll be here "

Nephthys finally closed her eyes and Avner silently cried as he was still looking at the stars not daring to look down at her 

Avner knew what she meant. Nephthys has just closed her eyes forever, never to open them again. Avner knew that she was gone but he wanted to live in the illusion that she was just sleeping for he was not ready to face the truth yet

" Poor thing, I heard they had had just married yesterday "

" I know….she died in her wedding dress…."

the emperor held a big funeral for Nephthys, the whole country was grieving 

" Look how down everybody looks "

" Of course they look down, it's a funeral and not just any funeral the emperor and his secretary were like family to her, they raised her for many years and lord Avner has just lost his wife, I heard she was the one to help him with his powers "

" How sad, it's really sad to watch " 

*BOOM*

thunders broke the sky and heavy rain drowned the world 

Time passed and people left one by one. Night has arrived and only Avner, Dheeran and Dillon were standing at her grave, the rain never once stopped pouring 

" Your majesty you still have work "

" You are right….I've been here for a very long time already, haven't I ? "

the emperor's eyes were empty 

" I never liked work but I may become a workaholic as of today…."

Maybe work would make him forget….

" You should leave as well kid, Nephthys wouldn't like to see you like this "

the emperor told Avner but Avner never replied he only stared at his wife's grave 

" alright let's go….I can't watch this anymore "

Deheeran told Dillon and they left together leaving Avner behind 

*BOOM*

the rain was getting heavier and heavier and Avner fell to his knees in despair

" I've fallen many times but I always found my way back up ... .but Nephthys I don't think I can stand up right now…."

*BOOM* 

Avner slowly pulled his hand up; he created water snakes out of the rain which would elongate from his fingertips, he crystallized the water and created a weapon. He stabbed himself with it in the chest and fell on his wife's grave, the life slowly leaving his body 

" A husband should always stand next to his wife….I am coming Nephthys "

*BOOM*

Avner finally closed his eyes forever….and from the blood there grew flowers, because love like that will find itself in every lifetime….

We are thought from the beginning how precious life is, but it's not your existence itself what makes living so beautiful but the people around you, when you look at their smile and feel like you achieved everything you have ever wanted, when you hold their hand and you'll feel warm even in the coldest of winter and when you look at their eyes and see the whole universe in them….that's when your life starts, you have the whole world at your feet but when that person is gone not even the sun itself will be able to warm your empty hand, the universe you once saw is now nothing but darkness….when true love dies, you die with it
