Sad

Rain lashes against the panoramic windows of a high-end Mumbai apartment. Inside, a man in a rumpled silk shirt sits hunched over a chessboard, pieces scattered haphazardly. He’s staring intensely at the board, but not really seeing it. A half-finished cup of chai sits cold beside him.

He watched the way the light caught in her hair, the familiar curve of her smile as she focused on the doll, and a wave of longing washed over him, a painful reminder of what he’d lost and the unspoken promise of what could have been. ...

Rain streaks down the window of a nearly empty diner. A single, flickering fluorescent light hums overhead. He sits hunched over a lukewarm cup of coffee, tracing circles on the condensation with a trembling finger. Outside, the city lights blur into a hazy, melancholic glow.
