This is a story about love and most especially, a story about cruelty.
She's one of the most independent and brave woman everyone knows. She always wore out smiles even in her lowest times, but . . . beneath those smiles are the cries she made in silence, that no one knows about except her. And even if she always wanted to be brave and independent, there really are times that she can't hold it anymore. Instead of speaking it out to someone she trusted most, she's also afraid to reveal it. Because she believed that, 'what if the people she told her problems to always ended up worrying about her? She didn't want to burden anyone, because she believed that if it's your problem, it's yours alone- not anyone else's. After all, doesn't everyone have their own problems too?'
So, will there be a someone who's willing to open their heart and soul just to accept her once they knew the real 'her'? Once they will know her vulnerability and weak side? Would they still be able to stay with her, even after knowing she's like that?

Stay A Little Longer
She spent her whole life learning how to stay silent. Raised in a strict Indian household, she grew up believing that freedom was a luxury and love was a danger. Between her parents' rules, their quiet partialities, and the constant fear of disappointing them, she learned to shrink herself, study harder than everyone, and hide her tears behind closed doors. And somewhere else, miles away from her world, lived a man who trusted nothing-not people, not promises, not the comfort of sleep. Life had taught him that the closer someone got, the quicker they left, so he built walls around himself and called it discipline. He wasn't cruel, but he was distant, the kind of person who kept conversations short and emotions shorter. Even in professional spaces he pushed people away, convinced that staying alone was safer than being disappointed again.Complete
