Claire couldn't help but get self-conscious. As she stood in front of her full length mirror she saw someone other than herself. Her eyes had sunken into black circular pits of her skin and the white in them was now surrounded by red and defined veins because of the crying. Her tall structure was just skin and bones without even a hint of muscles. Her arms and legs seemed even longer than before. Her once beautiful and praised cheeks were way below par.

What else did you expect, Watson? You are not beautiful! No one is ever gonna tell you otherwise.

As difficult as it seemed to cope with, Claire was ready to sigh and shrug it away as she lowered herself into her marble-white bath-tub. The warm water stinged at her skin, burning it ever so slightly but Claire felt too weak to get up and walk to the cold water tap.

Bare with it.

The ritual which she and Harry had missed a few days ago was about to be completed today. But the venue where it took place was what terrified Claire. Her brain traumatised by the chain of events which took place in the recent past did not really support the idea of going to the scheduled venue, filling her mind up with the glimpses of things she dreaded happening.

"I think we should drop the idea." Claire had insisted Harry but he miscomprehended it to be a reason for Claire to avoid him.

Dear Anonymous,

I seriously do not have an idea how to start this letter. I don't even know if I can have the letter to be as informal as it might turn out to be.

However, this does not stop me from expressing the gratitude which no amount of words can ever be enough to express. A meer 'thank you' is never going to suffice my soul. As I talk to you through this letter I'd like to share some of my insights with you.

First of all, I completely idolise you without even knowing anything about you. Your helping attitude towards me and my education doesn't ever fail to inspire me to work harder with each passing day just so that some day I'll be successful enough to pay back all of the debts. I know it's practically impossible to pay those back but some day I'll do something great enough to make you proud that you chose to help me. I strive towards it everyday and the struggle continues.

Having you and your financial support with me makes me even more emotionally strong to face every situation I'm about to pass through.

I'd love if you give me some kind of a reply so that I understand that you do appreciate me and my effort

Thank you.

Yours respectfully yet lovingly,

Waliyha.

Drops of tears fell one after the other drenching the paper point by point.
