"Because you were supposed to forget that." Yeah, as if she would ever want to forget those moments if she had a choice.

The truth was, I didn't want to tell any of that. I was just afraid. I was afraid she would come to know about all the horrible things I did and would feel I was a disgrace. I was afraid she would hate me for what I had failed to do.

Life is cruel. I spent all these years trying to stay on the path of righteousness that she had shown me that day. But then a storm came silently, stabbed me in my back and pushed me into the dark pit in a flash. She filled me with kindness, but I just had to foolishly give in to my wrath.
