The last rose..🥀
He was just a normal worker of the rose garden when he first saw her. He fell in love at first sight. The olden days love life was challenging but still he want to propose her. When he finally did she rejected. It hurted, but after sometimes she also felt something for him. She loved his behaviour and the way when he always bring a rose for her when he comes to meet her. She got framed every single rose with the date written below when they'd met. But she never hanged the frame on her room's wall. Since her parents didn't know about it and she even don't want to share.
She was looking the frames and smiling while remembering him at the same time her mother knocked the door. She quickly hid the frames under the bed and opened the door. "What happened ma?" she asked
"aren't you hungry? Come and eat!" she said. And her daughter noded.
One day she had gone out with her friend when her mom was cleaning her room. She found the frames and noticed that each frame has dates written. She didn't understand and when her daughter came home she asked about it. She panicked and answered that her distant friend, Suhana had sent it for her and before her mom could ask anything else, she changed the topic. But her mom got doubt and she took the frame to her father. When he saw it, he didn't react much and said that if she said that her distant friend sent it then it'll be true. She accepted it.

On the other hand he was too busy in his work so that he didn't get time to meet her. So he wrote a love Letter for her with his name written at last and sent at her address with a rose flower.
After some days when the letter reached her home, she had gone out. Her mother received the letter and the rose. She was uneducated so she wasn't able to read it. She took it to her husband. When he read it, he got too much mad. At the same time she returned home and noticed that her father was staring at her madly. He scolded her and slapped. He told her not to talk or meet him again and thrown the letter and rose. But she didn't care. She just picked up it and read. She smiled and again framed that rose.
After some days, she got news that he was coming to meet her. She was too excited. She made excuse at home and gone out. On the street corner, she met him. He gave a rose flower to her and talked. Before leaving, he kissed in her cheek and ran away. She felt shy but even happy. In her pleasure, she didn't noticed that her relative aunt saw all that. Next day, the lady came to her house and complianed about the incident. Her father flew into rage. When she returned home, he slapped and beaten brutally. Her mother tried to stop him but he even slapped her. He brought a hot ladle and placed on her cheek and said ,"It was on this cheek that he kissed you, right?
She was yearning in pain but still he didn't feel pity for her and dragged her out of the house and told to never return again. Her half face was burned. She was in pain and crying. She didn't understand what to do. It started raining and she took shelter under a closed shop. She remained there until his friend saw her. He ran and gone to the rose garden and informed him. As he heard, he quickly ran. He saw her crying with her face covered. He sat down and asked her what happened. She explained him the incident. He asked,"why have you covered your face?" She didn't replied. When he uncovered the cloth, he saw her burned face. "Who did this? Your father!?", he asked. She nodded. He got up and straight gone to her house. Didn't knocked and directly entered in. "How could you do this?" he asked in loud and angry voice. They argued for minutes and at last her father said, "My daughter died for me!". He shocked but still answered," For you she is died but for me.. she is still alive", and gone away.
He took her to his house but his family rejected to keep her since she had burned face. "Please leave me. No one will accept me." she cried. "I've accepted you", he said and took her to a old lady's house. She was of 76 whom got left by her family due to her old age. She was living alone on her small house and used to earn money by working as a maid in some houses. She adored him so much. He told the whole story. The woman gladly accepted both and allowed them to live there.
Now they used to live there and he spent all his saved money to cure her face since she cry whenever she look in the mirror. He brought medicines for her and did extra work so that he can earn more money and cure her fastly. Whenever he come home he always brought a rose flower for her. She again began to keep those flowers by framing them. Her face was slowly recovering. All the three members were happy.
One day he got news that that rose farm had caught fire and whole field had burned. Now he had to move another town to work. He promised her that he'll soon return.
Many months had passed. She became more and more attractive than before. Some boys of the colony tried to convince her to marry them by saying that her husband will never return. But she always rejected them. The aunt had died and now she was alone living. She always used to stand on the gate and wait for the letter. Whenever she receives the letter she used to read it with much excitement. She always wait for him and remember him.
But from some days she didn't received any letter. She didn't get any information about him but still she used to wait.
One day a man came very early morning and knocked the door. She came out. She became very happy since the man was his friend. She thought that he also came. She was continuously asking that where he is but the man was stood with his head bowed down. He was in great grief. He extended his hand. She saw a letter and a dried rose in his hand. "He loaded the roses on the vehicle and got into it at midnight. He had to deliver the roses to another city. But due to dark...the accident happened. The police and even I and some friends tried to find his body but didn't get it. When I hopelessly returned to the house, I found a letter and a rose on his bed which he had written for you before leaving. I thought that this must be reached to you so I didn't think anything and took this letter to you. It took me some days therefore the rose has dried.", he explained in crying voice. She took the letter, closed the door and cried bitterly.
SHE NEVER MARRIED AND FRAMED THE LETTER WITH THE LAST DRIED ROSE.

THE END....
