"That's right... I forgot, I'm alone again. It has always been like this. I had my hopes up, but no matter how many times I tried, nothing changed. What is the point of using my voice?" I am Asha. Born with congenital poliosis, my pure white hair set me apart from the very beginning. What started as a marvel quickly turned into a curse. My family, once filled with love and warmth, grew cold and distant. My father abandoned our family, and my mother's indifference left me yearning for the affection I never received. As I grew older, the isolation deepened. No matter how hard I tried to connect, no one seemed to understand me. My attempts to reach out were met with misunderstanding and rejection, compounding the trauma from my past. These experiences etched scars deep into my soul, making each day a struggle. Eventually, something within me broke. It wasn't a conscious choice to stop speaking; it was as if my body and soul conspired to silence me. Words, once my desperate attempt to be heard, now failed to escape my lips. In the silence, I found a strange kind of peace, a retreat from the world that never accepted me.

"Abort it." "Excuse me ?" "Abort that thing inside of you!" He shouts in my face. I put my hands on his chest, trying to put some space between us. The man didn't even budge. "I'm not aborting my baby!" I feel strong hands wrap around my throat, and the next thing I know, I'm being lifted off the floor, fighting for air. "Listen here, you bitch you will abort that child, and if you don't, I'll personally kill you both myself. I'm a man of my word. Do not test me." He spat dead calm. Elora finds herself in a sticky position when her brother was in a terrible car accident, leading to an expensive medical bill that neither of them could afford. Her parents died when she was young, leaving her brother as her sole guardian. The two had been incredibly close over the years, and she had to find a way to help him in his current position. She had no choice but to sleep with a man she knew nothing about for money to cover the hospital bill, but later found out she was pregnant. The worst-case scenario is that the father wants nothing to do with her and the unborn child. After three years of guilt, pain, and regret, the two cross paths once more, and Elora struggles to make the right decisions as he was determined to be in their little girl's life.
