Grateful
I thought of waiting for a prompt, but I came up with this...
So here you go dear... I hope you like it. Cheers x
The biggest mistake I ever made in my life is to fall in love with the wrong guy. A very abusive and bad tempered guy. Yet I got through it on a daily basis, beaten, bruised, broken.
I was convinced that there is no way back. It was my fate and all I have to do is to accept it.
Until I met him by accident, two years ago. I got kicked out of the apartment we shared for the nth time. I wandered around the town, further away from our place, the other side of the town, the better side. I had a dream of living there one day if I get a good job to support myself. I will move out of the hell eventually. Of course, it has never happened.
That night, Marco was so close to hitting me with his car. I wasn't paying attention to where I was heading as well. And the rain didn't help much to both of us.
I refused to take his offer to help me. I’m sure I can stand up for myself.
Who knows he has a stalkers side? He followed me and when I keep on walking without any destination, he stopped me and take me to his house.
I don’t know what’s gotten me that day. I guess I was keeping my emotion for too long. Long enough to spill everything to a stranger who almost hit me.
I was a mess, blind and lost. But I’m grateful for the storm because it made me stronger and shape me into who I am now…

“Are you having a flashback again?” He kissed the top of my head.
“I might be.” I know what he will say next.
“Iris, I’ve told you…”
I stopped him by putting my finger in front of his mouth. “Before you complain, I did know that it’s in the past, but it is part of me.” I hold his gaze, I can’t believe how much I love the green-hazel eyes of his. “I’m grateful for every single second of my life. I’m thankful for it. From the moment we met up until now. And the best part is to carry your son.”
“You will be a wonderful mother.”
He moved from the sofa.
“Did I tell you I love you and how gorgeous you look today?”
“Not enough to convince me…”
That night marked everything. The ending. A new beginning. The transition of my two lives. Past and future.
As in presents, I’m happily in a relationship with one of the Borussia Dortmund stars, eight months along to my pregnancy, and the happiest woman alive.
