One word that I'm afraid to hear, one word that shattered me and will shatter me. The word "disappointment"

- "we are very disappointed in you kairee" mom said before leaving the house with dad

- after they left I went to my room and without thinking, I pack all my clothes and left. I can't take it anymore. I hate myself for being a disappointment I don't want to be a burden to my family anymore.

- it was night time. I walk for hours with my tears dried in my face. I walk, walk, walk until I reach a bridge. I sit on the edge of the bridge and swing my feet

- it was a cold breezy night the air touched my soft pale skin but I didn't mind it my mind is blank, i closed my eyes and let my tears stream down my face.

"Why does my family do this to me? What d-did I-i do wrong?" I stand up

"All I wanted was to feel the warmth of someone's love...."-
Without thinking I jumped in the river my skin felt the coldness of the water

"Is this how my story will end?"

............

"Miss!.....Miss! Are you ok?!"

H-huh? Am I dreaming? As far as I know I jumped in the river and let myself drowned... Wait.. wait... Who is this beautiful guy I'm seeing? Is this an angel? Kinukuha naba Ako Ng Isang anghel? Gosh why did God sent me such a handsome man?

"Miss! Do you hear me?"

I went back to reality

"Why did you do that?!" Galit Kong patanong

"Do what? I just saved your life, miss. Aren't you gonna say thank you at least?" He stand up brushing his wet hair with his hand

"Anong thank you?! Bwisit, Hindi mo ba alam na I did it on purpose?! I don't want to be in this world anymore, don't you understand?!" I stand up while saying that.

I can see our height difference. He is tall while I'm just in his shoulder

"Shh it's starting" he smiled while looking at the sky

"Anong starting, starting? Nag rrant Ako Dito tapos-

I was shocked when he put his index finger on my lips shushing me

"Just be quiet and let's watch this"

"Watch what?" I asked confused

He pulled me down to sit beside me and he points me to look at the sky.

I was shock and amaze seeing the meteor shower, it was... Shining in the black sky
I haven't seen such an amazing thing..

" You haven't seen this side of the world, right?" He said smiling at the sky not looking at me

"Huh? How did you know?" I looked at him and saw his face facing the side

The shine of the meteor shower, shines his flawless skin and I can see his eyes shine with amaze

"It's because I can see it in your face that it's your first time looking at it. It's amazing, right? The world is not that cruel as you thought it would be, it still has a beautiful side of it" he said while looking at me

"It's not to late to see the other beautiful things this world can do" he said sincerely

A tear fell down my eye and I chuckled I guess his right. I guess it's not too late to take a second chance.

- HILLUR FU, TO ANYONE WHO IS SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION ALL I CAN SAY IS I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE FEELING AND IT IS VALID, ALL YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID. IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE WEAK OR ALONE OR WANT TO END IT JUST PLEASE DON'T, PLEASE. THEIR IS STILL HOPE. DONT GIVE UP! 🫶-
