ENTANGLE ( Bachelors Series # 1) ✔️

86. Letter

Athena

I walked inside my room. It was so dark that you can hardly see anything. I closed the door behind me and leaned my back on it. I closed my eyes and took few deep breaths.

Today was a very hectic day. I never expected the secret to be revealed like this. It was very unexpected. But i feel very light now. The constant fear of someone finding out the truth is gone now.

I never wanted to keep secret from my family like these but i have to fulfill my mom's last wish. Well if i think properly i did fulfill my mother's last wish. She wanted us to have a proper family which we do now.

Even though my family knows the secret but still we are together. And that's what makes us a family. No matter what is the situation your family will always support and protect you.

I sat down on the bed with my back against the headboard. I switched on the lamp near my bed. I slowly unfolded the letter. The words of the letter are slowly fading of course due to my crying. Unlike other times today i am not reading these letter because i am sad or i miss her.

Today i am reading this letter because i fulfilled the promise made to her. I didn't broke the promise i made her. She didn't wanted our family to find out the secret behind her death but i think keeping secrets is not good. Sometimes to achieve great things we have to take risk. And that's what i did today.

I didn't knew what will happen after family finds out the truth. But i knew that these was the right thing. I had gut feeling inside me. And was absolutely right about it. I am glad i took the right decision. Although it took me 14 years to take these decisions.

It's ok been late is better than never. I looked down at the letter and with a smile on my face i read the letter...

Dear Athena,

I hope you are fine. I really love you my little princess. When you will find these letter it will be very late. I will be gone forever. I am sorry that i have to leave you but trust it wasn't easy to leave everything behind. It wasn't easy. But i don't have any choice and for the first time my in life i wanted to be selfish.

I know that day you heard everything and you might have some idea about it too. I know you very well you won't sit quite and will try to find out the truth. And that's why I am saying the truth to you now but make sure that no one should find about it. Not even our family.

Well i committed suicide. It wasn't an accident sweetheart. I know this will be shocking for you but these is the truth. I hope you understand. I hope one day you will forgive me for these. I know that you won't understand my decision right now but you will one day. Maybe when you will grow up and fall in love. When you will fall in love you will understand me. When the person becomes everything for you and you can't stop loving him even if he doesn't love you. Just remember one thing never let your love turn into an obsession. Love and obsession are different.

Anyways i don't have much time and i am also writing these letter in a hurry. There are many things that wanted to tell you. There are many things that i wanted to do with you. But i think these my goodbye. I just want you make me a promise that you won't let anyone find about it. These secret will break our family and i don't want that to happen. Assume these as my last wish but please don't let anyone find about it.

And i love my little princess. I love a lot. And i hope one day you can forgive me. Goodbye my princess......

Your lovingly,
Mother.

A lone tear rolled down my eyes but it was tear of happiness. She was right that i will understand her decision when i will fall in love. When Andrew came into my life it was then when everything started making sense. And i forgive you mom. I really do...
