Diamonds are forever, right?
Part - 26
I had somehow managed to slip away from the bar unnoticed, well from Susan at least. We had all taken it on ourselves to have a drink or two in memory of our fallen comrades. I looked down at my watch, it was just past ten. The setting of the sun had given way for the heavens to open and release their own emotions, their own tears.
I stood, waiting patiently for a cab on the sidewalk. The wait seemed like forever, giving me plenty more time to reflect on everything, not that I hadn't already. Time was once the enemy, claiming an ounce of life for every second that ticked by. But now, now it was a healer, well that's what I was praying for anyway.
The rain soaked through my suit jacket and shirt, but it made no difference to me. In fact, I welcomed the cool tingling sensation that it brought.
I looked up at the sky, gazing past the glow of the city lights. There was a whole world out there, but this nightmare had decided to land here. Out of 6 billion people, it chose us. Why? I don't know, but it's the one question that I know everyone is asking, the one question I know that everyone wants the answer to. But it's something that we'll never know, something we'll be left wondering forever.
I reach down into the deep, dark crevice of my suit pocket, and pull the small, square velvet box from it. I gently lift the cover, careful to shield the contents from the invasive rain. Just as a cab pulls up, its headlights bask me in a flurry of yellow light. The diamond sparkles in the dull glow. I close the lid and replace it firmly in my pocket. I just hope she holds on. I jump in the cab and head to the only place where I can bare to be. The only place I care to be. Next to the one I love. They say diamonds are forever, just like love, but what if you don't get the chance to give one?
