MARY
I took a deep breath.
'You are doing fine, Mary. Hang in there.'
I had been convincing myself of this kind of lie for the last two years.
It took a while before the reality of being Takahashi's wife had sunk in.
Did I make the right choice?
At that time, it seemed like I had.
I did.
But days after, I began to question whether I was still in my right mind or if it was too late to save myself from the path I had chosen.
I missed Margie.
I keep wondering how she was doing and what she was doing.
I didn't like how we have parted ways and me being unable to tell her why I cannot go with her at that time.
I still felt guilty about the part of my family being alive.
It was eating me from the inside, like a parasite.
Maybe, at some point, it would totally consume me and leave me with nothing.
Even my soul.
