Hola folks!!
This time I am bringing a fictious short story for you all. Hope you like it😊
‘A Daughter’s Plight'
Today is something unusual. The typical hustling and bustling at Railway Station seems missing. Only some people who are there, are busy in their own destined future. No one is bothered to look at the misery of these father and daughter near the track.

Swallowing hard, I clutched furiously at my chest, hoping my heart would stop beating so hard. With a sigh, I kept my cold feet down the couch. I wore slippers in my trembling feet to go to the bridge over the river. The loud sound of waves, calms my mind every time. With this hope I started walking towards it.
I remember just two days ago, I was the most happy person on this earth and why not? My plans were succeeding. Around six in the evening I came to my apartment. I frantically searched the keys and opened the door to find a young gentleman sitting awkwardly at my couch.
“What the heck……
