Lavender

I felt really stupid after I told my heartaches to a complete stranger especially when that stranger is a drop dead out of this world gorgeous woman who surely did not know a thing or two about being rejected. It was like a frog talking to a swan expecting the latter to understand. Inside my room, I took off my clothes and looked at the mirror. In front of my eyes were rolls of fats and loose skin stemming from unhealthy lifestyle and lack of discipline. My face were no longer supple and fresh. I was ageing terribly, maybe these were the reasons why it was so easy for that loser to let go of me because he was not really attracted to me in the first place.

Back in the day, I was a real beauty. I was admired all over the place by all people. As I grew older, I became too confident and I started to let myself go. I started going out at night, drinking, partying and abusing my body like there was no tomorrow. I thought youth will always be on my side and I will stay beautiful for a long period of time. My weight started to fluctuate, I grew heavier each year until I could no longer fit in my old clothes.

I went to the gym and for some time I did lose some weight but I gained it all back when I left my hometown and started a new life in a new country with new cuisines, no exercises and more drinking. I became a shell of my old self. I met this guy when I was already bigger. I thought he would looked at my heart instead, he looked at my wallet. From a fashionable chic, I became a fat girl wearing lose shirts and shapeless dresses designed for larger women.

Before I started my usual pity- party, my phone rang and I received a call inviting me for a job interview. At long last, after months of not working, this is what I needed. A new job to keep me productive and keep my sanity while there are lots of bills to pay. The interview was set a week from now so I had plenty of time to search my cabinet or should I say boxes because i wasn't finished with all the organising of my old stuffs. I spent the whole day arranging my clothes and cleaning the house. I heated some foods in the microwave and I looked at the bottle that Bella gave me.

It was made of small gold glass with some inscriptions curved on it. I was not sure if it was Latin but it sure looked so old and interesting. I opened it and a very sweet smell of lavender covered my encore room. I poured some on my wrists, chest and back as she instructed and I went straight to bed.

I woke up at around 5AM because of the warm sensation I felt all over my body. I felt like I needed to pee. Before flushing the bowl, I noticed some yellowish and greenish fluids that came out of me when I was urinating. I was shocked and I immediately run to go to the nearby hospital to get myself checked but then I noticed my reflection on the window and I stared at myself in disbelief!
