Carl pulled a chair for me as the music started to fade away and silence was heard as the emcee started talking.

"Let's now call the CEO of the company to make a special announcement, Mr. Gilderoy Smith."

It was followed by a round of applause.

"Everyone, thank you for coming here today. We are gathered here today because I'll be making a special announcement. As you all know, I've been working all my life in this company."

I was just staring at him for a very long time. It's been a long time since I've seen his face and I wonder what would've happened if I listened to him.

I missed him and all I want to do now is to wrap my arms around him and hug him tightly.

"...I'll be passing on my place to my son next year but before that, I'd like to tell you the very special news and my son is with a very important person right now. I want to call my son to make the announcement himself."

Everyone claps while I don't know what to feel as Mikhail walks to the stage.

"Good evening everyone, I would like to call my fiancé, Karen."

The world stops as the girl walks to the stage, he takes her hand, kisses it and hugs her then they walk to the stage.

The world is truly punishing me. It all feels like everything is against me.

I didn't realize that tears were streaming down my face as I watch them. Their eyes full of love, they same way he's looked at me before.

It's funny that my wish had come true, that I would be with him again in another life. It's true I'm still here, not in his arms, but here in the corner, watching him as he takes the hand of someone else better.

I haven't been perfect and I accept that but it really hurts when everything that I had belonged to someone else now. I have nothing.

I may have all the richest in the world, all the time in the world, I witnessed it all, I had lived a long life. But in the end, it was a curse, I had nothing. In every breath that I take, I witness a life being taken away, the people I've been with happily goes on with their life while I'm stuck here, watching them and waiting for them to leave this world like how the others did until I'm left with nothing.

"We'll get married next month and you're all invited." It was followed by claps and greetings of congratulations.

"Excuse me."

"Hey Ally where are you going? Are you okay?" He called me while my back faces him.

I tried to talk normally like how I do everyday.

"I just need to go the comfort room."

I proceeded to the comfort room. In times like this, I can't trust myself. I feel like I want to break free from this feeling I'm feeling right now.
