Ronnie's days were no longer as dark and heavy as before. When the first small pink buds appeared on that dry tree in the park, it was as if a light shone in his mind. He realized that not everything in life ends; Just learned to wait. The first day he met Nina after returning to work, Ronnie was surprised. Nina had a simple smile on her face, but there was a strange warmth in that smile as if someone understood her after a long time. Nina didn't talk much, but her eyes spoke volumes.

Still, Ronnie was cautious. A fear was working in his mind he didn't want to break down again like before. It's just a hobby, nothing more, he told himself. But one afternoon as he was leaving the office, Nina suddenly said, Ronnie, do you walk in that park every day? Ronnie was surprised. Yes, how do you know? I've seen you twice. You stare at the tree for a long time. Is there a reason? Ronnie laughed. Yes. A kind of education, a kind of hope.

Nina said in a calm voice, hope keeps people alive, you know? I learned that myself from many difficult moments in life. Ronnie felt for the first time, the words touched his heart. There was a lot of unknown pain hidden in Nina's own words, but she hid it behind a smile. After a week, Ronnie decided to talk to Nina, to find out more. He didn't want to run away anymore. The next day at noon, he called Nina while sitting in the canteen.

Nina, can you take a walk today? Nina nodded. Ronnie said as the two of them walked by the lake near the office, You know, I thought I'd never be able to talk to anyone properly again. But there is no discomfort in talking to you. Isn't it strange? Nina remained silent for a while. Then slowly said, not strange. Sometimes people come in life with whom the words come out without a hitch.

Ronnie looked at him and saw a strange tenderness in Nina's eyes. They became closer that day, but neither said anything. The feelings remained tied in an invisible thread. Here comes the twist. After two days, Nina did not come to the office. Not even on the third day. How restless Ronnie became. He didn't think he would worry so much. Finally dared to ask HR. HR said, Nina's mother is sick.

He is in the hospital.Ronnie seemed to stop a little. He felt that this was the path he once walked, when a similar emptiness engulfed him one day. Now he will not run away. He found the address of the hospital and went there. Nina was sitting outside, red eyes, messy hair. He was surprised to see Ronnie but did not move away. Are you here? Ronnie said in a calm tone, yes. I came to tell you that you are not alone. Nina's eyes got wet. Mom is very sick, Roni doctor says time is very limited. I'm scared, said Ronnie, holding her hand.

don't be afraid Remember the tree? When the season returns, the flowers return again. Life is like that. All is not lost. we will stayNina rested her head on Ronnie's shoulder for the first time. Ronnie then realizes that something has changed within her as well. The ending where hope truly returns Nina's mother is not only cured in the end, but also unable to break Nina's inner strength. Ronnie was by Nina's side during that difficult time and helped her stand again.

Standing under the same tree in the park one afternoon, Nina said, You know, in the past few years I have seen many people, many relationships have broken, but you are different. You made the broken parts of me whole again. Ronnie looked at the newly blooming flowers on the tree and said, When a dry tree can bloom, why can't a human? Nina smiled. So can we start fresh?

Ronnie smiled and shook his head. A beginning is never an end, Nina. Only we are late to understand.
Two flowers fell from the leaves of the tree. Ronnie reached out and picked one up. This is for you. The first symbol of new hope. There was no more sadness in Nina's eyes, only the light that returned like spring. This is how spring returned to Ronnie's life like a dry tree, which had the ability to start anew.

Thank you everyone 💓 😘
