The hospital corridor was silent. Only the slow footsteps of Dr. Adrian echoed as the cold neon light revealed the exhaustion on his face. In his hand, he held a photograph of a little girl with long hair and a smile as warm as sunlight after winter. Every morning at 6:47, he stopped in front of Room 213, touched the photo gently, and stood there in silence. No one knew why that room had been closed for years — until one night, a young nurse named Anna decided to follow him. Inside, she saw him sitting beside an empty bed, staring at the same photograph. On the wall hung an old hospital chart: “Elena Ademi – 2014.
She was my daughter,” he whispered. “They brought her here after an accident. She was only six… and I was in another operating room that day. I couldn’t save her.” Tears rolled down his face as he looked at the photo one last time. The clock struck 6:47 — their time. He smiled faintly and said, “She still wakes me up every morning… to remind me that a parent’s love never dies.” Since that day, Room 213 has remained empty, with a single white flower by the window — a silent tribute to a love that time could never heal.
