Chapter 06: I'm leaving
Scene: Gulchin was packing her bags. She heard a sound then…
It was 10th January 2023. 2 years have passed since my accident. Till now that nightmare is roaming in my mind. I'm 18 years old. Finally, I've finished my school. Now it's time to chase after my dream University of Missouri in Colombia. These 2 years I've been living with Sarah. But in these years Sarah was behaving differently than ever. I'm an adult, so I've decided to go to Colombia. I was packing my bags. Suddenly I heard a voice of something falling down. I went out of my room and saw Sarah lying on the floor. I called her but she didn't respond. Not only that, but I realized she has passed out. I called a doctor who lives in our neighborhood. He came and checked her and told due to some health issues she had passed out, she needs some rest. I told her to take some rest and went back to my room. After 2 hours I went to check on her. She told me,"sit here, Gul".
I sat there, and she was trying to say something. Sarah was saying,"I know it would be a great shock to hear but…". Suddenly the phone rang and Gulchin went to pick up the phone. She came back into the room and asked Sarah to continue. But Sarah said," Nothing special, have you packed your bags?" "Yes", I replied. Then I came back to my room, and it was quite late, so I fell asleep. In the morning Sarah came into my room and said "It's a great opportunity for you, you must work hard. Don't quit writing because it's your favorite." I said," if our parents were alive would they be happy?" Sarah hugged me tightly and said" yes. You have to fulfill their dream and make them feel proud." Sarah dropped me to the airport and for the first time I saw her crying so badly. I realized I was also crying. I knew if I continued crying like this I won't be able to leave her. So I left in a hurry saying take care, Sarah. When I got on the plane I saw a letter in my handbag. It was a letter from Sarah. I started to read the letter and my eyes filled with tears. All those years I've been trusting this person, but this was the truth. That's why these 2 years were different from ever. I've decided it's time to have a break in our relationship as we are sisters. Although some stuff is still left to work out. Let it be as it is.
