Six years after our last meeting, I reunited with my cousin "Meru." She had matured into a beautiful young woman, and I was struck by both surprise and deep emotion at the sight of her. We used to play together every day, but she suddenly moved away, disappearing from my life. Since then, we'd had no chance to meet again. I had graduated high school, started working, and was approaching the final days before her university graduation. Then one day, I received news that relatives were coming to stay overnight—finally, I would see Meru again. That day's events would become an unforgettable, deeply moving experience.
