Ticket to the other side

Get out the sun is shining, it's another bright day!

Right, he replied and turned away from the shining face that should easily enlighten his day if he hadn't been so depressed.

It's a neverending story I suggest you two break up a friend said. Damn it girl you are too young to drag this man's burden on your back. He's a mill's stone around your neck. Please, do leave him asap.

She felt sad. The friend was right and so was her family. He had tricked her and pulled her into his misery not willing to try and fight for a better life.

He shrugged and didn't seem to care how he broke her each day a little bit more.

She stopped asking and the brightness that shone on her face faded away like a blown candle long before he noticed she couldn't take it any longer.

At the end of a certain day, she felt the only way she could break up with the guy, who faked, was to buy a ticket to the other side.

She knew it wouldn't upset him if she disappeared, she wouldn't be missed. And aware of that, she left in the middle of the night. All she took along was one single coin to pay the freshman with.
