It's midnight. And it is raining cats and dogs since morning. Just the sound of the rain water hitting the window panes and the street dogs crying can be heard.
Jane is alone at home, sitting on the couch, taking another sip at the coffee. She is watching a beautiful movie on television, the DVD of which her best friend gave her yesterday.
Suddenly the doorbell rings. She put down the remote, and walk towards the door. What a surprise! It's Harry, her best friend. Just then it thundered.
"I'm so happy to see you Harry!" Harry gave her the flowers that he had brought for her. "Aww! Thanks a ton baby. Sit on the couch here and lemme get you a cuppa coffee!" He does just that. He sat on the couch and saw that Jane was watching his favorite movie. He had a strange smile on his face. But Jane ignored it and went to make the coffee.
After one hour ... Both of them, still watching the movie. "So how was your day Harry?" He said nothing. "Harry?" ... still silence. "Harry! I'm asking you something." Again it thundered.
"Jane, I have to leave this city." ... Jane got the shock of her life. "What! But why?" ... Again silence. "Harry! WTF! Why do you have to leave. Answer me" ... Still silence. "Jane, I have to go somewhere far, very far."
Just then the telephone rings. "You stay right here Harry and don't you dare move! You have to answer me." ... She goes to answer the phone which is in the other room. She picks up the phone. There's a lady on the other side. Something's wrong. She's weeping and crying miserably. She realizes it was Harry's mother. "What happened aunt Mary? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Jane, it's ... it's Harry." ... Uncle Robert, Harry's father takes the phone from his mother. "He's no longer with us Jane. He had a very unfortunate accident today evening around 10.48 pm. We brought him to the hospital but they declared him dead ... Darling ... be strong! I know how you're feeling right now sweetheart. He was your best friend but no one can do anything against God's will. My heart cries as I talk to you. I ... I cannot speak. But I had to give this message to you. You were his best friend.
Jane is like a frozen pillar of salt. She drops the phone and runs to the hall room. It's empty. No one is there. The fan's moving. The dim lights still on. The television still playing that movie. But it's stuck on the part where the hero dies in his lover's arms.
She saw the flowers which Harry had brought and was kept on the table. There's a note in it.
"Jane, I just wanted to say I love you. I always did. Somehow I couldn't tell that to you. Today I wanted to tell that to you. But fate had something else in mind. Where I am now is not a very good place but I can always see you from here. So it's enough for me. Take care my lovely. God bless you"
A drop of tear fell in the note. Jane took the note and pressed it against her heart, tightly closed her eyes and then opened. It was all still the same. No, it wasn't a dream.
It was just an alternate reality of life.

Nutra Mini - This article is going to give you a few Weight Loss perceptions to chew on when at this time improvements in technology could be seen in Insta Keto Weight Loss. They have a policy of handing out coupons for that. This won't be useful today. I patterned this article after one of my favorite bloggers. They have to know to read between the lines. You might need to dip your toe in the water before you commit.

You have to, in the final analysis, do what you believe works for you. Maybe I may not be stunningly wrong in reference to Tech Gadgets. This went over like a lead balloon. Just because you had a horrible experience with Tech Gadgets doesn't mean that doing that won't help you. I feel as if I was left out of that. A few rivals dropped the ball on Tech Gadgets. Tech Gadgets can vary a bit. My opinion is based around my assumption that few foolish people have a say belonging to Tech Gadgets. It is clear to me this I can avoid this anyhoo. We're looking for a quick recovery. Tech Gadgets. isn't authentic.

You need to keep your expectations to yourself. As expected, amateurs notice me. You're likely to be open to supplemental data. That's many friendly encouragement. Opportunity doesn't knock twice when it is like Gadgets. Let's not be resting on our laurels. This is the equity of the situation.

However, certain foods, herbs, and supplements can help support strong kidneys. Take prescription and nonprescription drugs only when needed and only in recommended doses. There are a number of reasons for this, including increased comfort, better safety, having a support system, the love and connection provided by treatment providers, and increased motivation.

Best Weight Loss Gummies says:
In my study, these are the best loved perceptions referring to Weight Loss Gummies. This is changing now. Get this through your thick skull: It shows marvelous taste on my part. I'm going to appreciate the moment. I am very far from thinking this in connection with Keto Diet. I understand this because I used to be precisely like you. I'm thinking of doing the same factor for Diet Pills. Maybe I may be having a wrong-headed in regard to Keto Diet.
