Beauty Contest

Part 37

YURENA POV

I felt a deep sadness when I saw in the news about Mao and Maxine's planned marriage. At that moment, I felt that I had failed in something I had dreamed of.

At that moment, I felt a strange pain in my heart that made my feelings heavy and my emotions surged. My chest felt like it was stabbed with a knife and I couldn't stop my tears either. This is the first time I feel this sadness. My body is debilitating and I feel like I can't recover anymore.

At first I thought the only pain a mermaid could go through was standing on the ground with new legs. But I was wrong, because I realized that one of the most painful parts of life is the heartache caused by disappointment. And when the pain is unbearable, it will accumulate in the eyes and turn into tears.
