Get ride of the baby

**The Next Morning**

Araya woke to the sound of her phone buzzing. She rubbed her eyes, her body weighed down by exhaustion and despair.

The first message was from Ash:

"Sorry, Ara. I had to leave quickly—something urgent came up. I didn't want to disturb your sleep. Just so you know, I made breakfast. Love, Ash."

The second message was from Alex:

"Sorry, Ara. I can't come around today.

An emergency came up at work. Love, Alex."

The loneliness was suffocating. Araya sighed, her heart heavy as she placed the phone on the couch. With tears threatening to spill, she turned on her heels and returned to her room, collapsing onto her bed.

She let the

tears fall freely, her sobs echoing in the silence.

Araya sat quietly on the cool sand, her gaze locked on the vast, endless ocean. The waves crashed softly, a soothing rhythm that offered a fragile solace. For her, the sea was a lifeline, a place that gave her fleeting moments of peace in a life filled with anguish.
