Engfa's eyes welled up as she watched Charlotte drive away, the sound of screeching tires echoing through her hollow soul. The weight of Pichy's memory crushed her, a constant reminder of her failures.
FLASHBACK
Nine years with Pichy, only to witness her betrayal. The night she planned to propose, she chose another man. Engfa's heart shattered like the dropped ring, its sparkle lost forever.
Pichy's parting words still haunted her: You can't give me the life I want. Engfa's desperation and tears couldn't change her mind.
END OF FLASHBACK
Charlotte's departure felt like déjà vu. Engfa's self-doubt consumed her.
Why can't I be enough? What's wrong with me?
As rain poured down, mirroring her tears, Engfa stumbled through the desolate streets. Her phone remained silent, devoid of Charlotte's comforting texts.
As Engfa wandered, lost in anguish, her phone buzzed with a call from her best friend, Patcha. Engfa hesitated, fearing more heartache.
“Engfa your dad!” Patcha said, her voice trembling.
Engfa's heart sank. "What happened?"
"He.. didn't make it. The cancer took him."
Engfa's world crumbled. Her father, her rock, was gone. She felt abandoned, lost, and forsaken.
"Why must I suffer so much?" Engfa cried out, collapsing to the ground.
The rain poured down, mingling with her tears, as she mourned:
"My dad, Pichy, Charlotte... everyone leaves me!"
