Dancing to the tunes of zephyr


Music glided through a chalet on a calm cloudy autumn afternoon. Music was a familiar classic. If someone who was playing, that someone must be quite an accomplished violinist.

The breeze was soothing and carried enough moisture. It would start raining anytime.

The branches of magnolia tree waltzed to the tunes of zephyr welcoming the rain goddess. Leaves giggled even as tiny droplets kissed them. Magnolia buds blushed at every brush with the drop. Soon, drizzling became a downpour.

There was no one except her on the battered boulevard. The lone chalet with its stone roof and no windows seemed as warm as a winter cold. Her flowing waterfall of black hair was wet. It was hard to tell the colour of her eyes in the slashing rain. She was laughing mirthlessly.

The music had stopped.  “Magnolia,” a voice called.

Then, there was nothing but the sound of rain.
