Bewitching Scars

Synopsis

My life was never perfect. Waves of unflattering, unexpected events began long before I was born. I'm the fruit of a forbidden burst of emotion. A sinful night. A mistake. It never should have happened. I never should have existed in the first place. It's miserable, yes. But that's not even the worst part yet...

The worst part is that I've been betrayed by the most trusted people I've known for years. It's ironic, isn't it? No matter how genuine and pure you are, there's certain things that can make you feel and think that this lifetime is so cruel and harsh. My heart dropped to its depths when I was slapped with the truth. I feel like the world has stopped for the second time. It crushed me to bone and flesh; it's eating me alive.

You have to wake up one more morning with a heavy heart, realizing that there are no more things to look forward to and that the life I was used to cannot be restored. I will always be this: broken. A wounded woman, trying to mend herself alone in an apartment with no one to talk to but her cat.

Nevertheless, that chaos never stopped me from appreciating all the beautiful things in this world. I have already accepted it all. I am my own family, and it's not so bad to think about it. Every day, I had to remind myself that I'm not the only person going through hardship in life. Others had it worse, I'm sure. My problem is just a tiny dot compared to what others have.

Everything was going well, not until I met a man who threw me off to my finest dreams. An alluring man I never thought existed appeared out of nowhere into my own little sphere and space, gradually pulling me up from the nightmare I've kept in my deepest being. But the scar is so deep that even the finest dreams cannot perish.

Will I ever be ready to risk? Can I ever hope that things might turn out differently this time?
