Aya heard the knock. She opened the door. Outside was one of her husband's friends.

Ezra walked in. He had a somber look on his face.

Aya became concerned. " What's wrong Ezra?".

He embraced her. " Avidan's dead".

" What?". Confusion filled her mind. " I thought he was with you".

" We were crossing a street". His voice hesitated. " He was struck by a runaway wagon".

Aya began to weep.

" Avidan was a good friend".

Aya weeped louder.

" Don't worry". He embraced her again. " My wife and I will look after you".

He left.

Without her husband and her brother, Aya felt alone.
