This was it.

Her life would never be the same again.

She stared at the beige coloured wall ahead of her, gaze not halting. The wall is blank, like her face is, like her mind is and maybe like how her life would prolong.

She rests her head on the wall and squeezes her curled and tired body further into the corner as her hands trembled. But she couldn't break the trance her eyes held. She yearned to stop the staring but was afraid to do so because then the reality of the situation would shudder her.

What now? The questioned haunted her. Now is it the time to resolve the future or take a pause to revise the events of the past?

Time, she needed time.

Time to take a deep breath, let her emotions out and then carry the weight of what happened.

Her smoothly sailing life that included all of her dreams and cherished people had hit a huge iceberg. It seemed to sink slowly.

Slowly

Slowly

Am I the only one who can bring it to the harbour? Her mind asked.

But how can I when I am drowning in the middle of the expansive ocean?

She closed her eyes finally. The face filled with warmth flashes before her eyes. The lips that were similar to hers and the words they spoke reaches her ears. The hope those eyes held creates a tinging pain in her heart.

Would she make that affectionate soul proud?

If she could not, what excuse shall she utter?

Her senses came to a pause. It is not the time for self discouragement.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it had become a memory. How true this saying turned out to be.
