"I traded the gun for a paintbrush, hoping it would bleed in my place!!"

----🤍----

My life feels like a notebook now-its pages open for anyone to write on, whenever they please. And me? The biggest fool or maybe just a coward, I accept every word without a fight, without a single complaint. Do you know why? Because the pen of my life is no longer in my hands-it's in theirs.

"I'm nothing more than a walking corpse. My hopes, dreams, and desires died a long time ago. I've crushed my own happiness with my own hands."

"My papa hates me-deeply, bitterly. He thinks I'm the reason my mama is dead, and I can't shake the feeling that he might be right. If I hadn't insisted on going there that day, my mama might still be here-with my papa, with our family, with me. That day, Papa lost his wife because of me. My family lost a daughter-in-law because of me. And I lost everything... all because I was stubborn."

"I'm a curse to my father. But... am I really?"

Every time I think of that day, my heart trembles. How they killed my mama, so cruelly, right in front of me... and how they..."

The thoughts tightened around me like a noose. My breathing grew heavier. Sweat beaded on my forehead. My throat dried up, and my eyelids began to droop.

Another panic attack.

THUD!

A few moments later, the door to my bedroom opened. A woman in her fifties-still strikingly beautiful-stepped inside. But when she saw me on the floor, she screamed.

"Gudiya, see what I..." Vedika ji's voice trailed off as soon as she saw the scene in front of her.

She rushed to Vaani, who was sitting on the floor, struggling to breathe.
