Chapter 18: Her Childhood (1)
She thought that if she breathe in some fresh air she would feel better and the uneasiness in her heart would calm down a bit.
She sat on one of the bench in the park. It was already evening time and there were lots of people inside the park. Some were walking, some came with their families while some came with their friends or partner.
She was just staring at some space. After sometime, when she heard laughing of a child she suddenly turned her head to look at him. The boy was around five to six years old playing happily with his toys.
As soon as she looked at the boy, her eyes suddenly started welling up. She had come here to ease her pain. But it seems that the wound of the most sensitive part of her heart had opened up. Her breathing became uneven as she started breathing from her mouth to calm down her waving emotions.
She turned her head in opposite direction to focus her mind on something else. She somehow manage to ease up a little.
After some moments passed, she saw some uncles and aunties had come with their childrens to spend some time with them. That made remind her of her parents. Looking at the parent giving advise to their childrens made her go in her past.
