"I... I don't understand," Selena thought to herself as she stared blankly outside the window. Though the view was a beautiful, clear sky, with birds flying about, it didn't faze her. She remained there inside the room, sitting in a corner, staring at the window.
"All I ever did was…..hate her," her thoughts continued.
"Yes...but…. I don't hate you. You hating me doesn't mean I should hate you back," Rania replied.
Selena's eyes widened and immediately, she looked at the direction of the voice.
And there, she saw Rania, right in front of her eyes, wearing her white dress, and smiling at her. Only this time….she was an illusion made by her mind's desperate plea.
Selena's eyes poured rivers of tears as she saw Rania. She tried to speak but her voice cracked. Her lips were dry, and her throat was sore, after all the nights she cried herself to sleep. Wetting her lips, and gulping, she was finally able to speak.
