"Sofia, are you done with handing over of bed number 3 patient?".
"Yes, I am done with my handing over". I answered as the incharge of my ward asked me before I left the ward .
This feels good, a life where I am not subjected to anyone where I don't have to be afraid of anything,no unecessary guilt. It's been five years since I moved out of my home,away from my parents.It was difficult but I did it not without him - William, my idol and the sole reason of my happiness. Though I never met him in person but his work,his smile just makes every moment of my life precious. Today is a special day, his birthday and like every year I will celebrate it. I reached for the nearby bakery which is close to my apartment and purchased a black forest cake which is his favourite and two blueberry cupcakes and a huge tub of Belgium choco chips ice cream. I walked throught the empty lane to my building. I loved walking through this lane, trees on either side of the road and the emptiness which provides a comforting peace. Today felt different, there are more stars in the night sky and it looked like a dreamy scenery. I reached my building and got into my apartment at the 4th floor. As I entered,I was greeted by a large portrait of William. It felt as if he was the one waiting for me. I quickly freshened up and sat across my TV with cake, cupcakes and ice cream tub I brought being seated on the table.
As I switched it on and saw the broadcast,I felt as if I was struck by lightning. My limbs were frozen and my heart it was beating at such a rate as if it would expload.
"William, a member of the world's most popular boyband Serine took his own life. His body was found hanging in his room. His househelp informed the police and reached out for ambulance but it was too late".
I could believe my ears, it was as if it was all a dream , a nightmare which I wanted to end.
But onething was clear, I lost the only hope of happiness and it will never return.
