Their End, My Beginning novel Chapter 5

The three words that I have now begun to hate the most came from the one I love the most

“Who are you?”

“You have forgotten me and every precious moment we had when you had become a famous, eligible, successful billionaire. Haven’t you? Good to know that I no longer have any anything that can keep me sane and myself again. I will not imagine for you to use me to be who you are now because I know what we had was equally important to you as well. Anyway, I will no longer waste your time I just want to inform you, I am arranging a funeral for my parents this evening 4-6. Please come because you were like a son to them.” With saying that, I turned away from him. Walking to my uncle, who observed me.

Instead of saying anything, he understood the answer to the unasked question. I am glad that he said nothing about that otherwise I would have broken down in front of him. Which is the last thing I want to do. Well now, I have one reason to keep my mind on organising the funeral than lingering around.

------------

There were so many people who came to the funeral. Familiar and unfamiliar people. I heard all consoling words and your parents were good people. You shouldn’t go through this and blah blah from people I didn’t even know. I never knew these words can be so hurting. It was like opening your wounds, and I also was one among those people when I used to go to others’ funeral with my parents.

When people were coming, my eyes always went to the church door looking for Ryder. I may seem to be needy or desperate for him, but the truth is I was distracting myself from this harsh reality. I wanted to know why Ryder is the person he is now. Why did his eyes that held so much love and adoration, that made me feel like I was the most beautiful girl and that I was his world, gave me a disdainful look?
