//I picked up the pen and started writing, it always took me too much time to think of words and to express them in a way where it was pleasing to other's eyes, but this time I didn't have to do so, this time I didn't have to think too much. This would be the last time I'll be writing.//

These were the things going on inside my brain as the tears fell from my eyes. As my vision was blurred by my tears, I ended the letter.

//It's gonna be over in a few, just a few more minutes.//

The pills I took were now working, and my body was getting numb, I wasn't able to move my arms and as if God despises every step I took in my life, my mind was clouded. Clouded by the thoughts filled with regrets, thoughts like maybe I should have waited, maybe I should have given another chance to myself, but isn't it too late to think all that?

//Just a few seconds more, it's gonna end, I'll be free then.//

My head felt heavy when I woke up, I think I saw another nightmare last night. When I opened my eyes everything around me felt unfamiliar. I tried to get up from the bed I was laying on, but my head was spinning, I couldn't get up. I then noticed my left arm, an IV drip was connected to it. And just after a moment the door of the room opened, the nurse entered the room she looked at me and asked

"How are you feeling?"

"What happened, why am I here?"

That's all I could ask,

"I'll tell your guardian you woke up. It's been 3 days, they all are worried about you"

with that, she left the room.

After a moment my mother entered the room, her watery red eyes and the bags under them clearly stated the fact that she has been crying and haven't slept well.

"How could you do this to us, huh? You think it's a joke, is your life a joke for you? You..."

She stopped while speaking and looked at me mimicking my expressions, CONFUSION- that's what was written on my face.
She came near me and asked,

"you don't remember anything, do you?"

"Great, here we were dying of fear for the last 72 hours and this girl doesn't even have an idea of what she did."

The concern she had on her face had now changed into anger and then she turned around and left the room.

It took me a few minutes to realise what was happening.

3 days back

I was laying there on the floor of my bedroom waiting for the last essence of life to be gone, as soon as I completely closed my eyes, I heard the faint sound of my mom, she was calling out for dad. I felt her shaking my body. That was the last thing I felt before everything turned black.

Present time

This time when the door opened my dad entered the room, the look of disappointment clear on his face.

"You will go to your uncle's place, I think you should leave from here. Your mom agreed to it as well. I'll prepare everything, you'll leave after getting discharged from hospital."

And with that, he left the room.

I wish he stayed in the room with me, I wish he hugged me and told me it's gonna be alright, I wish he forgave me. I wish I never took this step, I wish I apologised to him.

Oh, how I wish I could turn back time.
