Somethings are meant to be broken. Others are just crushed. Battling with whether to forgive him or not?.... is killing me from the inside out. I just wish I could talk to someone about how depressing my life situation is. Someone who wouldn't know me. Someone I could possible tell anything to. Its like I must be insane if that person actually exists. I chuckled at that thought.

Here I am walking to Starbucks  trying to get myself a hot espresso with the filthy rich aroma filling my nasal. I just want to forget everything for a moment. My cheating Husband, the tragedy death of my 2 years old  son, my want-me-to-be-perfect mother. Just everything. Come to think of it, what blessing have I had?

My best friend died in a car Accident when I was in collage. I never thought I'd made it this far though. And it left an imprint in my life

"Hey! Watch where you going woman!"
An old man gave me a frustrated look and his voice was alarming.

"I-I'm so sorry" I spoke meekly and concentrate on my way. I can't risk bumping into someone again. New Yorkers  are people you don't want to Irritate.

Just when I thought I'd finally enter the café, two black SUV cars swerved in front of me and before I knew it, I was dragged into the vehicle.
I don't know how everything happened so fast! I couldn't see my kidnapper's face though, because he's wearing a skull mask. I struggled after being pulled inside but I felt a sharp pain in my upper arm. turning to who was inflicting pain in my arm, it was a fairly aged woman smirking at me and there....I was slowly losing my vision, I'm seeing blur pictures and hearing faint voices. I think its time I should succumb into this pit. I let go and succumb to sleep.

"Got the Lady?"
I held my phone tightly near my ear ruffling my hair in frustration.

"Yes sir. But she's unconscious right now."
One of my men replied

"Good. Tie her up and get her fed. Would be there in the night." I then make the call go dead

"You can't escape me now Sakeenah" i walked out to attend my next meeting at china town.

" look't tha fish mother" Bilal went closer to the pond.
I look at the spitting image of me. And is it weird to say I'm glad my baby took my Face? Well maybe that's what happened when you joined motherhood.
"Be careful Bilal."
I left him there to get some snacky from a nearby store which is just a minute trek.
Walking slowly as I approached the vendor, I felt someone was watching me. But i shrugged off that negative vibe because I'm out here with my son and that's one of the happiest thing in my life. I Bought 3 meat pies and two vanilla cakes which cost less than i expected and the vendor saw the confusion on my face as i looked at the change on my palm.
"It's March 17th lady. St. Patrick's day. We're making some discounts"
He erased my doubts and flash me a smile which i returned and shook my head.

"St. Patrick's day"
I mumbled more to myself and walked back to the pond.
When i approached the pond, bilal was nowhere to be found. My heart started with Palpitations.
"Omg! Bilal!?"
I combed the area with my eyes...but it's futile, Untill i looked closely at the pond and noticed a floating body.
"Billlaaaaallll!!!!."

"Bilal!"
I jolted up but I can't move my hand and my head throbs like hell. I try moving my feet but they were static.
Then realization hits me.
