So lost in a sea of my long thoughts, I gazed out the window, my eyes fixed on a distant point as my mind struggles to make sense of it all. The world outside seems to be moving at its usual pace, oblivious to the turmoil brewing within me. I feel like a ship adrift, tossed about by waves of uncertainty and doubt.My thoughts are a jumbled mix of past and present, memories and fears, all swirling together in a maddening dance. I try to grasp onto something, anything, that can anchor me to reality, but it's like trying to hold onto sand - the harder I squeeze, the more it slips away.As I sit here, paralyzed by my own thoughts, I can't help but wonder how I ended up here. Was it a choice I made? A path I took? Or was it simply a series of circumstances beyond my control? The questions swirl in my head like a vortex, pulling me down into the depths of my own mind."Just as I'm drowning in my sad and long thoughts, the silence is broken by a knock at the door. It's a soft, gentle knock,

Was it about Kian again ?As she sat down on the edge of the bed, her eyes scanned through the entire room, I felt uncomfortable by her presence “How may I help you ma?” I asked politely trying to hide my apprehension Martha's gaze settled on me “I am here to discuss about your marriage with Kian" she said “Dont marry my son, I have been acting weird to you, dont you het any of my actions? It means I dont want you for my son” she said I was taken back by her sudden words “Why?” I asked firmly trying to hide
