His name is Lamdro Gumindar. His face is forgettable and he never has problems blending into a crowd. The air around him now feels thick with despair and strangers unconsciously give him his space as the crowds rush towards their daily routines.
He seats himself on one of the street benches and looks past the noise of the city.
What if he had not let them go?
What if they had not met?
Three years ago and he is holding his first new born child. His family still did not approve of him but all was well for as long as they were together. He looked into the eyes of his partner and smiled.
His focus returns to his current location. Children are laughing as they race towards the school just beyond the corner. Their energy boundless to explore a world bustling with life. A world he does not seem to connect with anymore.
