Strength In Our Scars

"A boy with unspoken desires
Shining like stars in his eyes"

6 MONTHS LATER

Months passed away in the blink of an eye. She became so busy in her life that she had no time to stand and stare. She became colder and colder by every passing day. She didn't cared even if she turns into him one day. Or maybe she already was like him.. His exact reflection.

But as he said. She had to go through a lot to understand what she actually was. She had to learn a lot. Even if in the process she loses him. Her healing had no match with another broken heart's healing, her wounds were matchless, her love was matchless.. her healing was matchless too.

She worked hard day and night. Forgot herself in the process of forgetting him. She lost and gained everything at the same time. But the thing was ...she could have forgotten anything but his eyes. It haunted her. She built a whole damn empire for herself. Leaving him behind. She won over him.

Everyone knows her. She's a big name. Ever since she stepped in. Everyone slowly started to forget him and his brand. She made her place on the top. She achieved what she aimed for. Even if the fuel behind it was worthless hate.

Even though she forgot about everything including herself. She never forgot the lady who helped her on the night she escaped from her prison for the first time.

When her financial condition got better and now finally she was done with the hard work. She started to visit her most often. She used to carry gifts for her. sometimes flowers . She had a very good IQ. She never forgot her address. Having a good IQ is a flex and misery at the same time.

It was a day party. She was drinking her ass off. But she got used to drinking so much that she drinks like its water. She smoked the whole pack in chain. She became a part time chain smoker. Whenever loneliness hit her she made her cigarette blow out all of her emptiness. Still so hollow.

She got tired of this fake gathering. Fake people who were laughing and celebrating her achievements. In reality they all hated it. They all wanted her to be doomed. She became so expert in people.

She became expert in reading minds. Just like she read him for once in her lifetime. When she saw all of his burning emotions. But he sadly denied everything.

She went out of the club and sat in her car . Her manager was holding the door for her. She sat inside like a queen. But her inner self knew what kind of beggar she was for pure attention, love and care. She was terrified, of not loving.. but not loving him..by not being loved but...being loved but not by him..

"Cafe" She said and driver moved the car towards the cafe. Only thing she owns that was passed by him.

Even though the cafe had a lot of strong and killing memories. But she liked being in there. She felt at peace and chaos at the same time.

The car stopped in front of the cafe. Manager opened the door for her as she came out of the car. She walked inside like always with a heavy heart.

She sat on the table on which he used to always sit. She ordered hot americano for herself. As she didn't realized when she began to like it. It was bitter. Without sugar. That's what she liked. It was less bitter than her life. She lighted up her cigarette and smoked out her frustration while waiting for the coffee.

Suddenly her phone started to ring. She stood up as she got a call from a company. She was about to walk out of the cafe when she saw a young boy. He was looking at her car eagerly. His big doe eyes showed his big desires.
