Living Nightmare | m.y.g (angst/smut)

Chapter 51 - Pickles and Cravings ◆

At last, the grief-stricken days had long passed. I would have lied to you if I tell you I wasn't completely enjoying the temporary tranquility for who knows when until the unexpected knock would strike again. I was still worried about the certain events that would surprise me from my serendipity, those tiny but terrible events that would come pulling me out from the euphoria as what usually happens to me.

There's no such thing as a happy ending. Scratch that, there is a happy ending. The real question is, for how long will that happiness last? And another true question is, how will you be able to tell that it's the ending?

I recently found out that trust is a precious jewel to keep for my own and only share it with the ones who badly needed it; the worthy ones, and not give it away for some people who have a sick intention of stealing it away. Since when did I become untrusting? I always give it away. Look where it got me now. I was once dumped in the abyss of demise.

But someone saved me. Now tell me was it worth it?

My own misery had stopped weeks ago, wherein the people causing me these disasters had gone to jail and kept away from me for good. The Gods from the above had finally united to give me a life I deserve after accidentally giving me the wrong one, a life that no one else aside from me would endure. They gave me one clean slate that I gladly took to begin writing a better chapter so I could write a wanted conclusion. This freedom wouldn't be possible without the help of my family, his family, and to all the people in the Forensic who pledged to be called worthy of the position and executed their duty well. I couldn't be more grateful to that. I didn't know why I deserve these blessings until those people came to me and showed me why.

Who was I just months ago?

I was a worthless girl awaiting death willingly until someone came to me and showed me physically the definition of the word I only knew in my mind as an implication of a quality, beauty. Never have I expected to be put up a path for me to walk further, though there are people who're putting circumstances on it to hinder my voyage, there are still people who stand as my shield to protect me from another deprivation.

The comfort that I have today came from those people who built me shelter and accepted a girl who's trouble and death were her parents. I don't fear hoping as much as I did before. The only fear that's left for me to fear is fear itself. But who expected I would find my peace? You who have witnessed my voyage through reading the unfortunate chapters of my life from the start until now, and for the incoming chapters for you to witness in the future, was this peace?

My parents visiting me to fill the gap on me, Yoongi's family replacing the sadness with happiness from the incident, his friends giving me comfort and making me forget about the grim I encountered, and him sitting next to me holding my hand and never leaving my side wherever I go to keep my safety, both my baby and I's safety, aren't all these factors constituted by peace?

In that short little time, yes. I finally managed to get this element I had been wishing to find. It's such a sight to see that the people captured in my periphery were the ones I wanted to celebrate my new beginning with. Smiling to myself as I take in the beautiful sight and memorizing the details of it that even until I sleep I could see it, life has never been so happy for me.

The noise audible in the dining room of my parents' house isn't the usual noise I loathed hearing. The shouting, the laughing, the teasing and the loving that all made up that noise was a melody to my ears, it was harmoniously drifting into the surface until Yoongi stood up to initiate a toast and then the beautiful noise ceased.

Clearing his throat he speaks, "I am happy because Nicole's parents accepted me to be their daughter's other half. It was so hard for the both of us but I'm glad I was on her side overcoming every single one of it, I believe, I deserved the trust bestowed upon me."
