Tryst -Tom Riddle

23

This is a REALLY short chapter.

It's a humble request to read the A/N at the end of the chapter. I'd really appreciate it!! Please!!

FEW YEARS LATER!
It's been almost 7 years since school ended.
Tom and I both are now living together. We have been together since school, not married yet. I feel the happiest as my heard replayed the other night Tom and I spent together, when he asked me to marry him. I didn't even hesitate to say yes.

It took him some time to get over his whole 'taking over the wizarding world' plan but he did eventually. It changed him drastically, going from an evil person to the kindest person on earth. He now works in the Ministry of Magic, one of the most respected man might I add.
He still has one horcrux but agreed to not kill anymore innocent people.
Sure it took some struggle to make him realize his mistake but everything turned out to be amazing and I have never been grateful for my life.
Lord Voldemort never existed, Myrtle is very much alive, Wizarding Wars will never happen and I'm proud to say that I was the one to stop all of it.

I heard the front door open. I kept my gaze fixed, staring at the city through the wide window as Tom's strong presence took over the room. His footsteps echoed and stopped right behind me. His hands wrapped themselves around me lovingly, his head on my shoulder and I leaned back until my head rested on his chest.
"Evening, darling." His voice, it's so perfect. Deep yet soft. Dangerous yet protective. I watched the city, people running to catch their train, excited to go back home, kids playing, weather is perfect, the older woman at the corner accompanied by her adorable cat.
"It's so beautiful,  isn't it?"
"Yes, truly is." I looked up at him, his eyes set on me. "I meant the city."

"I meant you." I couldn't hold back a smile. "I never thought you'd be a romantic at heart."
"Me neither." His lips leaving soft kisses on my shoulder and neck.

Everyday,  I get to see how beautiful life can get. The feeling of pure gratefulness is all I feel. I turned around to hug him.

I feel loved and I'm in love.

A/N:

[If anyone has any questions about the book or me, you can send me the question personally via the messaging platform on this app. I will answer them soon enough (a new part on this book itself will be a quick QnA)]

This is the end!
holy crap I never thought I'd finish it but I did!

It may not seem like a big deal but this means so much to me! I've recently edited the story and I'm very proud of my work. It definitely might not be the best on Wattpad, but I know I put in my best effort.

This is the first time I did something on my own, something I did because it makes me happy, not to please anyone else, and I'm so proud of that!

⚠️- Some venting so TW!!

It's been quite difficult two years for me, I won't lie. I've been suffering from severe depression, anxiety, insecurities and panic attacks for a long time now. I had given up completely, I had absolutely no hope for myself, didn't look at myself as someone who's worthy of anything or anyone. I was strangely addicted to self harming, both physically and mentally, bullied myself. I lost all hope which made me attempt
su!cide almost three times now.

But I'm proud to say that I'm working on myself. I'm getting rid of my victim mindset slowly. Healing takes time and so much effort.

I'm trying to make life seem like it's worth living.

So I know I'm not the only one who's suffered/ suffering. If you're one of them, I want you to know that it's okay. What you're going through, what you're feeling, it's okay, love. Your feeling and emotions are valid, your feelings are understandable. I want you to know that transformations are possible and I'm an example for you.

You can heal, you can be better. It's not your fault, don't blame yourself. Stop listening to negative things people say to you or that voice in your head tells you cause they're lying. Even though I've never met you, you're so much more than what you see yourself as. Let that person shine, let the positivity shine!

Remember, the very first step to healing is accepting. Accept your situation. Tell yourself "It's a tough situation to be in but now that I am here, I accept it and I'm willing to heal, I'm willing to better. I'm willing to become the best version of myself."
Watch your life change if you start some positive self talk everyday.

I love you all so much! Thank you for all the love! Utterly grateful to everyone who voted, left a comment, or just took some time out of their precious time to read this story.
Thank you for giving this book and me a chance. Goodbye for now!

Much love!
Stay safe!
