The Best Part Of My Life...!!
Chapter 5
On my way back to home, There exists a small bakery shop...
I liked their pastries the most. So when I was little, My mom…used to take me there every day, after my school hours.
The bakery owner was an old lady, she used to make pastries with my name on it. She used to say, Sweet pastry for a sweet girl. Every day, there would be a new flavor ready for me to try.
One day, The lady was hit by a bus and didn't make it.
I still remember, I spend all my night crying, sobbing.
You must be thinking why I am telling you all this suddenly.
But today, As I am standing here. The old, abandoned building— where the bakery used to be— is being crushed… Right in front of me… In front of my eyes…
And that's when I realized, I have to let go.
All these memories, The bakery, the old lady, the cat that used to be the old lady's pet, .....and certainly the memories…the memories of my mom... walking me from school to the bakery…
After all, It is easy to......just walk away.
And that's what I do. Every single time. When it hurts? I walk away. I walk away like it didn't happen, like it didn't matter, like it didn't just hurt me, like I just don't care. But I do. And I do care so much that I can't sleep.
