LINDERFAIRE

ginger and michael grew up together in a small town called linderfaire. ginger came from an average family, leading an average life. as for michael, he came from a religious family. his family is very spiritual. he grew up wanting to become a priest.

throughout the years, ginger was michael's best friend. someone who stood by him everytime he needed somebody. however, to ginger, michael remained a special someone deep inside her heart.

she loved him.

it was a rainy morning when ginger broke the news to michael.

i'm getting married tomorrow, she said.

michael felt a sting in his heart.

how long have you known him, he asked.

15 weeks, she replied.

15 weeks and you know he is the one for you, he exclaimed.

yes 15 weeks and i know he is the one for me, she replied and boarded the bus.

michael's heart torned.

he was a priest. he was forbidden to marry a woman by his religion and by the society. he was a priest and he had standards to meet.

he loved her but he couldn't tell her so.

michael presented himself at ginger's wedding. he watched as she submitted her life to the other man. michael struggled to breathe.

from then on, he told himself, i devote myself to my religion.

the next morning, michael received a letter informing him that ginger was dead.

he ran to her house.

there she lay in the garden of roses. a letter beside her, dedicated to michael.

she couldn't marry a man she don't love.
ironically, she couldn't marry the man she love.
death was her solace.

michael killed himself that very night.
