Death

At Reina's home:

Reina's Dad(Mr. Ryan Romano): "How is your new business going?"

Reina: "It's going good, Dad. But there's a lot of work."

Ryan: "Yeah! There will be more work initially, but it will get normal in the future."

Reina: "Hmm."

Reina's Mom(Mrs. Rachel Romano): "Allen's mother called me. She was saying that we should think about their marriage."

She said to her husband 

Ryan: "Well, we don't have a problem. Call them, and we'll fix the marriage date."

Ryan: "Reina!, are you okay with this?"

Reina: "No problem, Dad."

She said with a huge smile.

Ryan: "I hope you will always be happy."

Rachel: "Allen is a good man. He will keep you happy."

Ryan: "Just keep feeding him your delicious cooking, and everything will be fine."

Her dad teased Reina, knowing very well she didn't like cooking.

Rachel: "Of course. A happy stomach leads to a happy marriage."

Her mother smiled slyly 

Reina: "You two trying to scare me out of saying "I do"? Because the thought of cooking every day makes me sweat through my veil faster than a disco ball in a sauna! Takeout and burnt toast are more my speed."

Reina's eyes were bulging out as she listened to her parents' scary suggestions.

Ryan: "Burnt toast, huh? You're in for a culinary adventure, kiddo. Get ready for a steady diet of "What is this brown stuff?" and "Honey, the smoke detector isn't a timer."

Rachel: "Just remember, sweetie, a happy husband is a well-fed husband. So, whip up his favorite dish and watch him melt. It'll be easier than convincing your Dad to switch from plaid pants to something...non-offensive."

Reina: "Mom! Dad's plaid is his signature look! Besides, the only thing melting after my cooking will be the fire alarm." She winked at her "Though, I did perfect a new recipe last night called 'Mystery Mash.' It even comes with a free game of 'Guess the Vegetable!'."

Reina said proudly 

Ryan: "Sounds delicious, princess! Just make sure the prize for winning isn't another trip to the emergency room."

Reina: "Relax, Dad, it's mostly potatoes and...well, let's just say it involves an adventurous trip to the back of the fridge."

Everyone bursts out laughing.

Rachel: May your marriage be filled with laughter, love, and slightly less… dramatic meals.

her mother seriously wished her 

Reina shakes her head, laughing

Reina: You two are scaring me. But thanks for the tips.

After a hearty breakfast, Reina grabs her purse and heads out the door.

Reina: Alright, gotta run! I will try to cook something today. Wish me luck with the office microwave, because my culinary skills and a corporate kitchen do not exactly mix. See you in the evening.

Reina dashes off, leaving her parents chuckling in the doorway

--

Ryan: "You know, it feels like just yesterday when we were helping her tie her shoelaces, and now she's getting married. Time does fly."

Rachel: "It does, doesn't it? I remember the days of bedtime stories and her non-stop questions and answers. Now, she's stepping into a whole new chapter of her life. It's heartwarming, but it's also a little bittersweet"

Rachel smiled with tears in her eyes, carrying the tender embrace of cherished memories and the subtle ache of letting go.

Ryan: "She's become such a remarkable woman. I am proud of my daughter"

The pride in Ryan's voice was palpable.

Rachel: I am proud of her too.

Ryan: "I just hope she was prepared well for this journey. Marriage is a beautiful yet challenging."

Rachel: "We've given her a strong foundation. She knows the importance of love and respect. and Allen is also very mature. "

Ryan: "You're right. I couldn't be more happier. Reina and Allen make such a wonderful couple."

At night:

Reina: "Hello Allen! You called so late at night, is everything fine??"

She woke up when her phone rang, seeing Allen's number, she received the call

Allen: "Sorry Reina for disturbing you at this time but I can't sleep. You know what, I am so happy today that I can't explain. You are my only dream. This thought doesn't let me sleep that you will be with me in a few days forever. I love you, Reina. I can't express my feelings about how much I love you."

His voice sounds heavy and seductive

Reina: "No need to say sorry. You can call me any time, Allen. And

I am also very happy. You know you are the only one that I love with all

my heart. You are very important to me, someone I can rely on. I find my peace within you."

She spoke truthfully, her heart always outspoken for him 

Allen: Just a few days more, love. Have a good night.

Reina: Good night.

*

Their wedding date was fixed.

And the preparations also begin.

But who knows what will happen in the future

*

The day before their marriage, Allen went to buy a gift for his soon-to-be bride. His Reina.

Lost in contemplation about what would bring her joy, he was immersed in thought while driving, when suddenly another car came towards him. He tried to avoid it, but it was too late, and the two cars crashed.

A profound stillness settled around him, an undeniable pain coursing through his body. His vision blurred, and his breaths came slower. His mind began shutting down.

In that final fleeting moment, Reina's smiling face played in his mind.

Summoning all his strength, he managed a difficult smile.

Allen: "I Love You, Reina. I hope you will always be happy, my love and I am sorry for leaving you"

With his last breath, he saw nothing but the approach of death, and soon, darkness overtook him.
