Thud. Thud.
So expeditiously with nothing but mayhem, my heart was beating.
Anxiousness was what filled my being as her screams of agony pierced through my skin like it often did.
Salvation. Salvation was what I needed. It was what I was seeking since three years.
The whirlwind of torment raised its head higher inside of me as the words spoken by him with calmness echoed in my head.
I hated the man who had spoken the words. I hated the words he had spoken.
But then ... I also hated the man I was seeing in the reflection of the window outside the library at the university as the twilight dawned closer. In the reflection, I could see that my shoulders were slumped tiredly from the heavyweight of my bag and also the remorse.
Loathing like never had already lived in me at the way I was destined to live with the guilt that was spelled in red.
Where was I going to get my redemption?
How was I going to get out of this darkness?
Almost painfully, a smile formed on my lips.
No light could save me when the darkness lived in me.
I inhaled and exhaled.
Fucking stop it, I told myself, strongly. After three years I could, at the least, ignore the mayhem even it was for only some time.
The gloomy clouds had decided to cast over me even more so since I stepped on the grounds of the university although college wasn't the worst thing that could happen to me.
I deserved this torment of thoughts for I was the offender.
I couldn't ever be redeemed.
Sighing I turned around and walked while forcing the thoughts away.
Not even three seconds later was my being dominated by something else and all my focus went somewhere else--rather someone.
Thud. Thud.
Again, did the heartbeat like all my life. But with a symphony of peace, I didn't know could exist even though it was for a second--because the next moment curiosity overshadowed everything else easily.
The chime of soft musical laughter that had caused me to come to a halt grew louder. The laugh was tender like a breeze of gentle wind.
"Bye. I'll see you at the class tomorrow," the same person said and I swiveled around, following the voice that had made me inquisitive to know who the unknown person was.
I saw her as she hugged the other girl, her face was still hidden due to her hair and something in me was dying to get a glimpse of her face.
Her aura, even from afar, was like a magnet to me.
