Her days in Agra were coming to an end. On a reflective morning, Majaorie thought about how to reveal her decision to leave to Kincaid and the Smiths. It was a heartwrenching decision:
The soft rays from the morning sun filtered through the glass, illuminating my room and casting shadows on the floor. My love for Kincaid was immense, woven with laughter, and quiet moments that made our time spent together precious. He taught me what it truly meant to love and to be loved in return.
The Shah Jahan Park was a sanctuary which took us back in time. The time stood still for us there. We would sit side by side, and watch the lights illuminate the Taj Mahal in a display of breathtaking beauty. I loved how the marble structure stood out majestically against the night sky, its reflection dancing in the waters of the Yamuna River. Each time we visited, it felt like a pilgrimage to a shrine of desire, love and encapsulating beauty. The glances Kincaid and I exchanged were filled with unspoken promises.
However, our excursions outside became less frequent after Gandhi's visit. The atmosphere was thick with tension; the surface of our vibrant city simmered with unease. Frequent fights broke out in the streets, as protests fuelled by voices demanding change grew louder. Despite this, the police maintained order diligently amidst the chaos. At a time of uncertainty, we found solace in each other's company.
