The Return of the Spring

They say time heals, but Dostoevsky said, "One never forgets the taste of certain tears." It was a thought that had been itching inside Vanya's mind for so long. Her mind had given up on everything. She left her family, moved away from their life, abandoned her love. Once the lifeline of the Palace, her own life meant nothing to her anymore. Sometimes the world doesn't reward gentle souls; sometimes it takes everything soft inside them until they become strangers even to themselves. And that's how Vanya Mehra became Vanya Chakrawarti, and turned back to Vanya Mehra. In her mind, she had left everything to the winter- but whom was she lying to? Her fate was bound to winter, and winter never backs off when it's his time to show up. He's greedy for spring, and who could be a greater companion for him than Spring herself? The question was: will winter bring back spring, or will he drag her into his storm with him? The storm has ended, but a hurricane is coming. Will Spring arrive, or watch everything burn right before her eyes?
