죽고난 후 후회 Mga Nobela at Kwento

"Daisy. Mommy will make you a new one. A bigger one. A better one. Please." She crawled the rest of the way to me and clutched the bunny against my chest, but nothing answered her. "Daisy. Daisy." Her voice cracked apart in the empty room. My chest tightened up. Tears went through me without leaving, and my fingers passed straight through Mama's cheek. "I'm sorry, Mommy." I made you sad again. A woman in a white coat got there fast. She checked my body and slowly shook her head. "There hasn't been a pulse for a while now. And there's something else."

But this casual cruelty, this complete dismissal of my life, was something new. "Should we follow them? Get their information?" someone in the crowd asked. "They're gone," another voice answered. "Jesus, what kind of person leaves their wife bleeding in the street?" The kind I married, I thought. The kind I gave everything to. Darkness crept in from the edges of my vision, but I fought against it. I wasn't ready to die yet, not like this, not alone on the cold pavement while my family celebrated someone else's birthday. My fingers twitched against the concrete. Pain radiated from everywhere and nowhere at once.

"Hello?" The person on the other end of the line was sobbing. "I'm sorry... Mindy. I... regret my decision."

Long after the black car disappeared behind the trees. Long after there was nothing left to see. Only then did the smile slowly leave her face. A shaky breath escaped her lips. And suddenly... the loneliness returned. The weight, the guilt, and the grief she carried every day after her rebirth. Because Jade couldn't understand. How could he? Nobody could. Not unless they had lived it. Not unless they had watched everything they loved disappear. Not unless they had been given the impossible gift of getting it all back.

Accompanied by the howling wind, I thought I heard someone calling my name. I tried hard to open my eyes but could only see rocks flying past. I smiled, feeling genuinely happy. This was the perfect death I had chosen for myself. A bottomless cliff meant certain death. My body would nourish the earth. And I would never have to see Xander, Oliver, Jacob, or Asher who did not love me, ever again. [Congratulations, Host. You are about to return to your original world.]

My parents had always held me responsible for Andrea's death, and Steven's heart had always belonged to her. I was the outsider and the disposable one. Reborn, I made a silent oath: I would live for myself and sever all ties with them.

She whispered softly while cleaning his knuckles with disinfectant. "What about the pain I went through every single second, every fucking night in the prison thinking where did I go wrong." He said calmly. Her eyes shot up to meet his, he literally saw the pain doubled in her eyes as her chin quivered in trying to control her sobs. "I...I...I... decided to m-meet you one last time. I t-thought it was better this way. Y-you deserved all the h-happiness in the world and I could give you n-nothing." She whispered while wiping her tears fiercely but they continued to fall down like a broken dam.

Did she indirectly ask me to give it a chance again? "It'll hurt you, Karan. You can't move on in life with Meera's memories. She is gone. She never tried to know how you passed the days without her. Her illustrations will keep hurting you until you get over her", she holds my neck and pulls my face close to her as our noses bump into each other. "I don't wanna get over her", I whisper, witnessing the notion into her eyes. "And I don't wanna get over you", she replies as her lips touch mine like a gentle breeze. I can't react to it as it was too fast. She just touched her lips with mine.
