My eyes stared blankly at the ceiling as the dim light from the hallway flickered across the wall—like a ghost creeping in and out of my thoughts. My heart beat in uneven rhythms, like it was trying to keep pace with my fears. The air in the room felt heavy, thick, and cruel. I pulled the blanket tighter around my body, hoping to find comfort, but nothing—absolutely nothing—could warm the coldness inside me.

How do you even breathe again when you’re trying to run from your painful past, but life isn’t done with you yet?

I didn’t mean to cry again.

But the moment I looked at the test result, the tears broke loose—like water crashing through a dam.

Pregnant.

Just one word. Eight letters. But it cracked something deep inside me.

I sat at the edge of the bed, gripping the paper so tightly that my knuckles turned white. My body felt distant, like it didn’t belong to me anymore—numb, trembling, and cold, even though the fan was off and every window was shut.

“No,” I whispered. “This can’t b

    The doctor’s lips pressed together, and somehow, I found myself holding my breath too. His eyes stayed fixed on the result in his hand, and his expression didn’t help the tight knot forming in my chest.My heart was pounding, but I sat still, trying not to panic.He looked up slowly, his face unreadable.“The result is out,” he said.I gave him a nervous nod. My fingers curled tightly around my handbag resting on my lap.He hesitated for a moment, then said, “Miss Melinda… according to the test result, you’re pregnant.”I blinked at him.“Pregnant?” I repeated, like I wasn’t sure I heard him correctly.“Yes,” he replied gently.I just stared at him. My lips parted, but no words came out. I didn’t even know what I was feeling. My chest felt heavy, like someone had just dropped a rock inside it.The doctor tilted his head. “Miss, are you alright?”I nodded too quickly. “Yes, I’m… I’m fine.” I paused, then asked in a small voice, “Please… how long?”He glanced at the paper again. “You’re

    I didn’t sleep a wink.My eyes were open the whole night, staring into the darkness, praying that Google had lied to me.Every time I blinked, I saw the search results again.“Can stress course fatigue. Dizziness. Sore breasts. Nausea.”The words danced in my brain like neon signs, refusing to fade. I shut my eyes tight, wishing I could shut my mind too.“It’s just stress,” I whispered for the hundredth time, hugging my pillow like it could save me. “It has to be.”I could still hear the faint humming of the fridge in the kitchen, the ticking wall clock above the wardrobe, and the restless sighs I released every five minutes. Time didn’t move. Neither did I.The weeks had been brutal—late nights, tight deadlines, no rest. That had to be the reason I felt like this. Not… not what Google suggested.No, it couldn't be that.By morning, my head was heavy, my stomach twisted, but I got up anyway. The alarm buzzed half-heartedly beside me, but I was already sitting up. I had been up all nig

    I had already given up when the email popped in like a surprise guest I didn’t invite.I sat there, slouched on the edge of the bed, half-heartedly scrolling through job sites for the hundredth time that week, when the notification buzzed.I blinked at the screen, mouth half-open. “Wait… what?”I leaned forward, heart thumping just a little. Maybe I was imagining things. I read it again, just to be sure.Congratulations, you’ve been shortlisted for an interview.I stared. For a few seconds, I just sat there frozen. My fingers hovered over the keyboard. My eyes didn’t blink. My mind had gone blank.“Okay… This has to be a mistake,” I muttered aloud, grabbing my phone from the charger like it could give me answers. I scrolled through my sent emails, tapping each one like I was retracing my own steps. I had applied, yes, I remembered sending it in—just two days ago. But I hadn’t heard anything since then.Two days of silence had convinced me I’d been ignored. Again. Just like all the oth

    Starting over felt like standing at the edge of a cliff—scared, unsure, but with no choice but to jump.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the sunlight peeking through the faded curtains. My chest felt heavy, like something was pressing down on it, but I whispered to myself, “You didn’t come here to fail, Melinda. You came to fight.”I stood up slowly, stretching limbs that felt stiff from sleep and stress. I made my way to the bathroom with quiet steps.The cold water on my face woke me up more than the mirror did. I splashed it over my cheeks a few times, letting it drip down before grabbing a towel. I brushed my teeth, bathed quickly, and tied my hair into a neat bun. No makeup. No perfume. Just clean and ready.I pulled on my black slacks, a simple white blouse, and flats. Nothing flashy. Just enough to look serious. A plain outfit, but one that made me feel composed. I picked up my file of documents—resume, portfolio, references—and tucked it carefully under my arm.I exhal

    “If I stay one more night, I might not live to see the morning.”The words echoed in my head like a drumbeat as I zipped the last bag shut.My hands trembled slightly. I wiped my palms on my jeans, glanced at the clock—it was almost 7 p.m. Fiona and Elvis had gone out. A romantic dinner, maybe. Or something worse. I didn’t care anymore. I couldn’t afford to.I grabbed my small suitcase and stepped into the hallway. The house was too quiet, almost like it knew I was about to vanish from its walls forever.Then, just before the front door, something caught my eye.A sheet of paper.Lying on the coffee table.I stopped. My heart skipped.My steps slowed. My heart did too.I reached for it with shaking fingers.The divorce papers.Signed.Just like that.No hesitation. No second thought. No emotion.His signature sat there in blue ink—Elvis’s name, carelessly scribbled like it meant nothing at all. Like I meant nothing at all.I stared at it for a long moment, my throat burning.Two years.
