Chapter 112: The White Dance Under the Shadow of Silence
The Philosophy of Unseen Love: The Telepathy Named Love
Do you know that when two souls reside deeply within each other's veins, even if their bodies are thousands of miles apart, a type of "telepathic" connection is formed between them that no science can explain? In no book of love is it mentioned that a human can breathe through an imaginary "scent." Diari is now in that difficult stage where he doesn't just miss Rina, but he searches the air for the atoms of Rina's voice and counts them.
Love here becomes a "religion" where waiting is the greatest and most sacred form of worship. When a human reaches this level of love, they no longer fear physical death; they only fear that the mist and dust of time will fade the memories of that person from their mind. Waiting here is not just time, but a psychological war between madness and survival.
The Wedding Dress and Elara's White Lie: A Trap Full of Kindness
The days passed like a year besieged by sorrow. In that house, Diari had become like a shadow from which the light had been cut off. One morning, as he walked weakly through the hall, he saw a sight that startled his heart. He saw Elara busy fixing a piece of white, shimmering fabric adorned with pearls and diamond beads; it was as if they had brought down a piece of a heavenly cloud. It was a wedding dress, so white and pure that it dimmed Diari's eyes.
In a hoarse and trembling voice, as if in a deep trance, Diari said:
"Mother Elara... what is this? This... wasn't this made for Rina? It is as if it's for that angel who is no longer here... Mother, don't tell me this is for another bride, because besides Rina, no one is worthy of this whiteness."
Elara, with a smile full of sorrow and hope, trying to hide the truth so the surprise wouldn't be ruined, said:
"No, my son, Diari dear... be calm. This is my own old wedding dress. I want to clean it and keep it so that dust doesn't touch it. Long ago when I was a bride, Rina's father used to say 'You are like a white promise'; now I want to preserve this memory."
Diari touched the fabric with a trembling hand and said:
"Oh Mother... when I look at this whiteness, it is as if Rina is inside it. Oh, if only she could wear these clothes, how beautiful she would be. But where is she? Where are those hands that used to come into my room in the mornings with the scent of tea? Mother, this whiteness is a deadly blackness to me because Rina is not in it."
Diari stared at the fabric for a long time, as if trying to find the traces of Rina's fingers within its threads, then with a broken heart and a lowered head, he went toward his dark room.
The Dark Room and the Memory of an Angel: Searching the Void
Diari threw himself onto his bed, the place where they used to plan their future together. The room still smelled of Rina; a mixture of "jasmine and autumn rain." He closed his eyes and, within the darkness, began a journey into his imagination.
Diari said to himself:
"Oh, that honey-colored hair that glided like silk through my fingers... oh, those sweet words of yours that healed the wounds of my soul. You were so kind when you would cooyly tell me 'Diari, take care of yourself.' Now who will take care of me? Who is there to hear my voice in this silence? Rina... the room without you is like an endless prison; the air in this room is poisonous and is not enough for even one of my breaths."
The Table of Silence and the Bell that Changed Life
At dinner time, a heavy silence spread its wings over the table. Rina's father, Elara, Elias, and Diari were gathered, but an empty chair had ruined everything. Diari only stared into his plate, as if wanting to lose himself within the silence.
Rina's father said in a hoarse voice full of experience:
"Diari, eat your food, my son. The earth always turns, and darkness never remains forever. I feel that Rina is very near, as if her breath is in this room."
Diari raised his head with eyes full of tears: "Father... my heart is almost stopping. I feel that if only one more day passes and I don't see her, my soul will separate from the cage of my chest."
In that tense moment, suddenly Elara's phone vibrated and rang. Everyone's eyes fixed on the screen. The name "Rina" shone like a star in the darkness. The room was so silent that only the sound of Diari's rapid heartbeat could be heard. Elara picked up the phone and put it on speaker.
A faint voice full of suppressed weeping came through:
Rina: "Mother dear... how are you? Mother, I am dying for you here, I miss you all so much..."
Diari, hearing her voice, felt as if a bolt of lightning struck his body and shouted:
"Rinaaaa! Rina, is that you? My soul, answer me! Where are you? I beg you to return, I am getting lost here! I plead with you, just tell me an address!"
From the other end of the line, in that old room where she stayed, Rina began to sob bitterly. She didn't want to reveal her location because she knew the month had only a few days left and her mother's surprise would be ruined.
Rina: "Diari... my love, be calm. I am fine. Mother, take care of Diari, tell him I am with him every second, every breath of mine is for him."
Diari, with tears and shouts, said: "Rina, don't hang up! Let me just hear your voice! I am nothing without you, only a soulless body!" But Rina, fearing she could no longer endure Diari's weeping, quickly disconnected the line.
Elias's Embrace and the Moment of Collapse
Diari, like a rootless tree struck by the wind, fell to the floor and began to cry like a child. Elias quickly went to him and gave him a warm embrace.
Elias: "Calm down, warrior! Did you hear that? She said she is fine. Diari, my brother, I feel it... only a few days, maybe only a few hours are left. Rina will return and this house will become a paradise again. That prison you are in, its doors are about to open."
That night, Diari did not sleep. He stayed by the window until dawn, looking at the sky.
