He was living in a happy bubble, unknown to the miseries of the world. 

For him, the definition of help was, financial support to the employees in need. 

For him, the definition of care was, being at the dinner table on weekends with his parents.

For him, the definition of stress was, an extended and busy day at office.

For him, the definition of pain was, a small cut on his cheek while shaving. 

What changed his perspective towards the life? 

A mysterious girl, that was brought in his life. 

Her heart carried the traces of her past.
Her shoulders carried the burden of secrets. 
Her eyes carried all the emotions that she could not express or say from her mouth.

Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.
