"Life's unpredictable, like a gamble; we can't decipher what we get. Yet accept what we acquire."

Lonely nights, tears, and haunting memories became my companions

Lonely nights, tears, and haunting memories became my companions. I'm lost searching for the perfect life that I dreamt of from childhood. Little Adhriti didn't know adulting wouldn't be amusing and gratifying.

I'm still chasing the beautiful life where I would wake up in my husband's arms and have lovely morning moments. And I'll get our children ready for school and have breakfast in peace. We both drop our children off at school and go to work.

Evening, returning tired and exhausted, we'll play with our kids, helping in their studies. And have dinner with sweet talks. Going on picnic trips and movies on our weekends. Having family dinners, getting together with our parents, receiving all the love and affection.

It's the simple life I've fantasized about all my childhood and teenage years. Now I doubt I can ever have that life with the baggage of worst experiences and a heart filled with culpability.

I've got everything: a supportive, amazing family, an impressive career, nd being well settled. Yet despite having everything, I'm still alone, struggling every night not to recollect those terrible moments and distance my family.

No matter what, I'll live through this. One day even my life will shine, and bright rays of happiness will lighten my world. I'll patiently wait for those moments.

Sharp rays of sunlight peered through the balcony door, penetrating from the curtains. I palmed my face, getting irked and inhaled, with a throbbing head.

With difficulty, I opened my eyes and realized I'm sleeping in the foyer. Clutching my head, I woke up. Last night memories flashed, the culprit of my splitting headache. My left shoulder had a cramp and was numb sleeping on the floor.

Massaging my shoulders, I walked to the restroom to freshen up. Taking a quick shower, I got ready. I wore a flamingo pink shirt and Alabaster white pants, completing the look with black kitten heels. Lastly, spritzing lavender perfume, I descended stairs to brew coffee.
