MAROONED

"What's the color of your heart, Miss Rebecca?"

I gave the interviewer a sad smile as I gather all my strength before I answered his question.

"Maroon"

"Oh, interesting. Why maroon?"

I did my best to stop myself from tearing up. This is very personal huh. I thought we're just suppose to talk about my career.

"Because this heart has been marooned for a long time..."

I looked at the camera and smiled.

"It has been marooned on that same memory from a certain person for a long time now...."

MJ's note: "Marooned" is a term used to describe a situation where someone is stranded or left in a remote or isolated place, often without the means to easily escape or obtain assistance. It typically implies being abandoned or left behind in a location where it's difficult to leave or where resources are scarce.
