In so many days, I prayed.

In so many days, I hoped.

In so many days, I stand here alone on this pier.

Waiting for him.

Not until one day, there came a man rowing a boat filled with white rolled cloth smothered with some blood and dirt. After a few stride, he docked his boat and carried a dead man towards me.

My prayers was left unheard.

My hopes was neglected.

I thought that he will come back to me with his heart beating under his skin.
