Happy Birthday

Three days, since Sophia boarded that train and it was running 12 hours late. Also 12 hours late for her to be celebrating her 22nd birthday with her family.

It was ofcourse a long distance one and had already seen 2 sunsets. Witnessing a third one right now, as you are reading, now. Watching the sunset, sun going down, a plan of birthday celebration with her family going down with it.

Co-passenger, 78 year old granny sitting next to her, was witnessing her almost 28377th sunset, could feel the sadness in her eyes. Gently, she put her wrinkly hand on Sophia's shoulder. Both looked at each other. Setting sun, in both of their eyes, looked at each other with a slight smile. Both had said their nothings.
