All Alone by hima (most read book in the world .TXT) 📕

know? May be he said it to her but he promised he won’t. He broke his promise then.
“How could you?” I shrieked at him.
“Calm down. I didn’t say anything to her.” He said.
I frowned.
“It’s all over the town.” He said tentatively.
“That is what she was saying on the phone thinking that I didn’t know about it.”
My secret life is now like an open book to the people. How could this all happen? I tried hard to keep it a secret and now it’s all over the town. The inevitable has happened at last. How can I face the truth? My head buzzed with many questions when I heard someone at the door.
I ran at once thinking it is dad. Emma and Jules stood there; they were shocked to see Ryan standing behind me.
I assured them in. I know why they are here probably to console me, I think.
“I’m sorry, Meg.” Emma said squeezing my hands gently.
“It’s okay. At least now I don’t have to pretend in front of you all.” I said trying to stay calm.
"May be it's not late. We still have time to get your parents together." Jules said.
"Yeah! We can give it a try." Emma assured.
"I don't know where mom is."I mumbled.
"We'll find her." they said.
"We are with you." Ryan said.
"This weekend we'll go to her office and see what we can find." Jules said.
I nodded. Stacie came into the room she might have woke up from her sleep.
I introduced her to my friends, Stacie kissed them both, may be it's her way of saying hello.
Emma left us at 7pm. Jules and Ryan stayed behind saying that they would leave only when my dad is home.
Jules took Stacie to sleep. Ryan and I stood in the lounge waiting for dad.
"It's too late. May be he won't come at all." I said.
"He need's time." he said.
He placed his arms around me and I leaned into him thinking about my parents.
"There he is." he said pointing to a figure in the dark.
"Dad." I ran to him.
"I'm sorry, I was bad to you." I apologized.
He smiled but that was full of pain. He thanked my friends for keeping me company when he wasn't there.


I know this will be a whole new start for me. Every one I knew knows my secret now. I have to face their sympathy.
I went to the college with dread today,I wish I could stay home. I laughed at myself for thinking that. All these years I wished I was at college and now I'm thinking of home. How typical is my mind?
Jules and Ema were silent all along the ride. Classes passed by unnoticed. Jules and Emma dragged me to cafeteria even though I said I have no appetite.
People at the cafeteria, looked at me with those pitiful eyes. I tried to ignore them but I could always their eyes on me. I wish I could kill Mary who was the only reason for all these. Mary's father was a legal adviser, she might have known about the divorce case from him. She could have kept her mouth shut but she didn't.
I tried to remain calm and composed to show the people that I'm not worried about this.
"I'm sorry, I heard that your parents are divorced." Mary said sitting at our table.
"They are not," Jules snapped.
"But they are going to, right?" she said.
Emma and Jules gave her evil eye as if to back off but she apparently ignored them and continued.
"Will you stay with your Mom or Dad?" she asked.
"She is going to stay with her parents." Ryan said sitting beside me.
His cold stare was obviously caught so she left us.
"I'm taking you home today." he said while leaving.
I nodded. I can't take this anymore and going in bus meant I have to endure those stares again.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice that we are going in the opposite way to our home.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"I'm not kidnapping you."
"Not funny."
"For once in life do as I say." he pleaded.
"Okay."
"Close your eyes. Stretch your hands wide and move back a little." He said.
"What?" I shrieked.
"Do as I say." he ordered.
I did as he said.
"Forget about everything just concentrate the breeze." he said.
I tried to focus on the breeze, the cold wind hit me to a full extent, tugging me from all sides.I balanced myself and rose up to feel the wind,It felt like I'm flying.
"Wow!" I cried aloud.
He increased the speed. Now we are traveling through curved roads.
The feel of the wind felt great.
He pulled up after sometime. I opened my eyes, tears rolling through my eyes, all my life I never felt so happy and excited.
He walked me to the end of the cliff. We sat at the edge that looks all over the town. He opened his backpack and pulled out boxes of burgers and two coke tins.
"How did it feel like?" he asked.
"I'm never so excited or happy about something."
"I felt like I was flying. The sound of the breeze in my ears made feel like I could feel and see it."
He smiled at me.
"What do you see now?" He asked pointing at the small town down the hill.
"Tiny town, tiny houses." I said watching the place.
He took my hands into his.
"It's the same way with problems. When you feel they are big, they look the same way. Look at them in another perspective you'll find them very tiny. It's the same way to make a line smaller draw a big one before it. I believe the big problem in everyone's life is death in front of it nothing is big."
I was really surprised to know that there is a sensitive guy in him. Everything he said was right. I smiled at him.
"Promise me that this smile on your lips will never disappear."
I nodded and leaned into him. We sat there for a while.
"Thanks for the ride and thanks for everything." I said and kissed him on the cheeks.
I promise that you'll see a different Meg from tomorrow. I thought.


I am sitting by the fireplace with a book in my hand. Dad and Mom are having a discussion on wedding, only they are not fighting anymore as they usually do. I smiled at them when someone gently kissed me on the forehead and then gently caressed my lips. I looked at him, he is in black suit, He held out his hand. I took it and he lead me through a corridor all decorated in white. I looked at myself in his eyes, I was in white wedding dress looking so beautiful and happy. I looked at him longingly and all of a sudden I saw Ryan in the groom's place. I woke up startled.
I brought the memories of last night to remember what Ryan said while I'm doing it I remembered my dream. What's wrong with me? How can I ever think of him like that? He is my friend. I repeated the last sentence in my mind many times to get a hold of my feelings towards him.
Ryan is waiting at the bus stop for me. I jumped onto his bike.
"Thanks for coming." I said.
He grinned at me.
When he dropped me at college. Emma and Jules walked over to me. I smiled at them waving my hands. I could see their astonished faces.
I was pretty much alive in the class answering every question that our teachers asked.
At noon we sat at our usual place when Mary walked towards us.
"Any guess about where your going to stay?"
I smiled at her.
"I guess it's always home with my parents."
She started saying something when I cut her off and sat in my place.
Ryan and his friends joined a little while after.
"I'm happy about the change in you so what caused this change?" Jules asked.
"Someone said that the biggest problem in life is death and I believe he is true. We can't change that but all other things we can change." I said with an air of confidence.
He squeezed my hands and I smiled at him understandingly.
"Whoever that might be. I think you shouldn't lose him." Emma said smiling.
I nodded.
In all my life time I never spent a day without stressing over something but today it's different entirely.
When I came home. Dad is flipping the channels while Stacie is playing with Bibi. She hurried to hug me when she saw me, Bibi followed her wagging her tail.
I sat beside Dad and took his hands into mine.
"Dad, everything is going to be okay. We will be a regular and happy family; Mom,Dad and their two daughters." I assured him.
I don't How much Stacie understood what I said. She started dancing around and clapping her hands mumbling 'api fa' she meant happy family.
Dad was staring at me wide eyed when I left to my room to freshen up.
The next day when I reached My stop I saw Ryan and his friends on bikes. Emma rode with Tom and Jules rode with Ed.
Boys had a race to Mom's office. Ryan won, Ed was the next one.
"We'll go and talk to the branch head. You talk to the employees and try to know everything you can." Ryan said to the others.
I tagged along with him anticipating that I would see or talk to Mom in a few seconds.
"Hello, sir."
The Manager was a stout man in mid 40's. He gave a welcome and asked us to take a seat.
"We have come to seek your help." Ryan said.
"What can I do?" the manager's voice is gentle.
"She is Meg, Her Mom works in your office, Mrs. Alice."
He paused to see any reaction on his face.
"I'm sorry but she resigned the job a week ago."
We stared at each other.
"Can you tell us anything about her? Where she left or where she is?" I asked frantically.
"I don't know may be you should try asking Ms.Lucy, she is a close friend of your Mom." he said.
"Thank you, sir."
We approached Ms. Lucy but she said that she didn't know anything and she promised to tell me if she gets to know anything about her.
There is no good luck even with others. It's like she disappeared into thin air.
We gathered at our home.
"Now what?" Jules asked.
We stared at each other when Ryan's mobile beeped. Stacie lifted
