Novel & Cerita Veil Of Tears

Kallista glanced at Zander, but he merely shrugged as if to say, She’s right, you know. Before she could respond, movement in the distance caught her eye. She turned toward the house, and there, standing just beyond the garden’s edge, was Lila. She was half-hidden behind one of the pillars, her arms wrapped around her body, the sadness in her eyes couldn't be hidden. Kallista’s heart clenched. She wished she could reach out to her but Vanessa chose that moment to clap and people she hadn't noticed before stepped forward. With camera equipment, backdrops, makeup, racks and racks of dresses.

"It doesn't matter. This is a lesson. I'll teach you to never lay a hand on them!" My baby was going to die because of this monster. I wailed and begged, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done that, but the baby's innocent! You can't kill them! You're the father! Please don't do this to me, Nathaniel!" My pleas fell on deaf ears. Nathaniel shoved me into the operating room. The baby was stillborn. My baby girl died before she could even see the world. I lay on the chilling operating theater, my face buried in my hands. I cried my heart out. The tears just wouldn't stop. After a while, a giggle fell from my lips despite the tears rolling down my cheeks.

Through the rearview mirror, her figure grew smaller and smaller. At first, she hurried away in quick little steps. Then she broke into a run, her high heels striking the pavement faster and faster. Only then did my composure finally shatter. Covering my face, I let the tears spill through my fingers. The direction Delilah was running was the exact opposite of the road that led home. The path that was supposed to lead us to happiness had ultimately fallen apart because of betrayal.

The first note of a song I’d never let myself hear. I closed my eyes for half a second, tried to breathe past it. No command. No fear. Just her. Touching me like I wasn’t a weapon, or a threat, or a curse that could snap at any second. I opened my eyes again. And she was still there. Hand slowly drawing back. Gaze unreadable. But for the first time in years, I didn’t feel like I was going to shatter. She didn’t say goodbye. She just gathered up the scrolls she’d been working on, rolled them with practiced precision, and stowed them back in her pack one by one. The sigils still hung lazily between us, throbbing with soft light like they didn’t want her to leave either.

For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. Not remember me? Not remember us? The idea hit me harder than any blade. “She will remember,” I said, voice low, deadly. “Because I will get her back before anything touches what’s mine.” Althar closed his eyes. “There is only one thing that can open the Veil to a living soul… and even then, it requires a price.” “What is it?” He lifted a shaking hand, pointing at the ancient stone tablet on the table. “The Sovereign Tear.”

But this was no whisper. This was a scream. The vision had not been a gentle unfolding of possibility, no drifting veil of futures yet to be. It was a brutal unveiling, a tearing away of all that was safe. The Veil—shimmering, invisible, ever-present—was not merely thinning. It was tearing.

In that instant, Vireo shed tears for no reason. It was not too accurate to be calling the woman in front of him an old lady because she did not look that old. It was just that her calm face had a tinge of unconcealable gloomy expression, which gave the old lady in front of her an indescribable sense of beauty. She was wearing a veil. She was also dressed incomparably plainly, and the hems of her habit were even a little torn. However, that simplicity still was not able to cover up her beauty. Her beauty was pure and untainted. Her beauty had a sense of drastic hardships, and it made people feel endless heartaches. Her face was pale and thin, but pure kindness was showing in her eyes.

It spread quickly, rolling low across the ground before lifting higher, swallowing the houses one by one. Within moments, the entire settlement was wrapped in it. Eira grabbed my wrist. “Windows,” she said. We moved fast, checking every crack and corner, pressing cloth along the edges of the frames. “Is it dangerous?” I asked. “Not exactly dangerous,” she said after a moment. “Just… not meant for everyone.” “That doesn’t sound comforting.” She glanced at the thick mist outside before speaking again. “It’s called the Memory Veil. It fills the empty spaces history left behind—the parts that were lost or erased. When it shows up, it means the past and the present are beginning to collide agains

But the weight of her mother’s accusations threatened to unravel everything she had ever held dear. As Clarissa spoke, her tears continued to flow, unbidden and uncontrollable. They were not the usual tears of sorrow, but something far more mysterious and haunting. As they slid down her cheeks, they didn’t merely soak into the fabric of her clothes. They began to change, transforming into something far more beautiful yet sorrowful. The tears became pearls, delicate and luminous, rolling down her lap like precious jewels. Each one seemed to hold a story, a secret she was too afraid to uncover. Their weight was not just physical; it was emotional, pressing her heart deeper into despair.
