SOMEONE TO LOVE YOU 3

I was literally shocked. Whatever he said had moved me to a very extend but how can he just say things like that.

He doesn’t know anything about me in the first place and I too don’t know anything about him. If he didn’t said that he was my colleague I would still have no clue about him.

But I was still in a daze. No one had ever told any good words to me in my 22 years. My life was a live Cinderella movie. Mama died, Papa got remarried, a vicious stepmother and her daughter and a long lost childhood love.

Stepmother and her daughter always mess with me and create troubles for me. These are the usual plots in movies yet it is the reality. It’s not that I am naive or I can’t react against their atrocity, I just love my Papa.

I was only 10 when my Mama died and Papa married my stepmother for me. But little did he know that she only had eyes for his wealth. She still acts nice to me in front of him.

I didn’t have enough courage to prove her true colours in front of him. It would shatter him and break his heart as he believed completely in her. Yesterday was Mama’s 12th Death Anniversary. Papa and I always made offerings to Mama on this day, but yesterday was a hard day for me and Papa.

My stepmother made a big scene for making offerings to Mama…she shouted at Papa to let go of his feelings for my Mama. I got really angry for her attitude and shouted back at her. She showed her true colours then, she kicked me out of my own house. What made me more angry and sad was Papa’s silence.

Papa neither said a single syllable when she badmouthed Mama and shouted at him nor he stopped her when she was kicking me out. I never knew my Papa will also abandon me for her and her daughter.

So I left that house once and for all with all my belongings and Mama’s things which I secretly kept for myself. I decided to go to the apartment in town, which Mama bought when she was working. She transferred it to my name before she died. At least I don’t have to be a stray dog, but I missed the last bus to the town and I had to stay in a hotel.

As for the suicide incident…I wasn’t really going to die but I was going to jump. I used to swim whenever I was sad and wanted to vent my anger. Papa always brought me to this bridge when I was a kid and we jumped together and enjoyed swimming.

I was crying because I was angry on that woman…I always hated the moment when my anger turns in to tears. What made me more dumb was this guy…he was right that I had many problems, but I’m not stupid enough to end my life. I don’t talk to anyone not because of my personal issues. I was suffering from a damned tooth ache for past 6 months and I didn’t bother to see a dentist as I’m not much of a talking person. His imagination was beyond the limit. He even managed to imagine such a stupid story for me.
