Hello Reena. I popped over here after noticing your interesting Stack name in Notes. Happened upon this story. I find it very beautiful: well-paced, unfolding the information about this couple slowly; realistic - a woman losing her husband feels what she feels, which may be personal to her and unexpected by others. You catch so many little details, like the pink woman pronouncing Sumitra's name in way that's a little too emphatic on the vowels. There is much truth here, and much art. The ending is perfect. You have a new subscriber, and I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful photos and reading your stories and poems. :-) Tara

What a moving style of expression! Loved it!!
Both part of this story resonated, the myopic and obsessive value attributed to skin color and the resiliency of those who refuse to be pigeonholed.
Layered and sensitive ❤️. Extremely delicate and heartbreaking.
