That Dreadful Day

Then came that dreadful day - the day when my greatest love turned into my worst heartbreak.

It was around a month after Rai’s last texts.

“Ring ring”..

“Ring ring”..

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I looked at my alarm clock and saw it was only 4.30 am.

Who would have called this early in the morning? I thought.

Looking at my caller ID, it was Damian.

I picked it up, still groggy from my sleep.

“Damian, is there something wrong? Where are you? Are you not home? You do realize that it’s only 4.30 am, right?” I yawned.

“Kat, Baby girl. Wake up. You need to come to the hospital as soon as possible.” He said hurriedly. I could hear that he was distraught.

I bolted up so fast on the bed, not feeling sleepy anymore.

“Damian, are you alright? Where are you?” I asked again as I started to panic.

“I’m alright, Baby girl. Please be ready. I’ll pick you up soon.” With that, he hung up the phone.
