Become princess again

Thirty minutes have passed since Areez sat on the bed that Suri used to sleep, the blood that came from his hands had now stained Suri's bed. Areez sat alone in the darkness, trying to feel the remnants of Suri's presence in the room.

"That's how much you hate me, Suri."

After three years, this is the first time Areez correctly pronounces Suri's name. The tightness that currently gripped his chest really made Areez unable to breathe, as if a giant hand was smothering his chest from the inside.

The forced closeness didn't work, the selfishness that had controlled Areez now turned into a boomerang for himself. The pain he is currently experiencing because of Suri's departure makes Areez unable to think.

"Why does it hurt this much, God? Is this the punishment You gave me? Is this the recompense for all my selfishness all this time?"
