Thank You Best Friend; And I’m Sorry For What I Have To Do…

Dear best friend, I wish I had listened to you when you said that he is not good, I wish my parents had listened to you when the groom side created a scene on the wedding day for money, I wish we had backed out of the wedding.

Ever since I can remember, I had several friends, but very few who were close. When you came into my life as my best friend you treated me like a daughter even though you were just 5 years older, raising me, teaching me, and most importantly tolerating all my tantrums.

I guess I never thanked you enough for being there, for making me feel worthy of such a friendship. When I was sick, you brought me food (though it was terrible :-P), but still, it’s the gesture that counts. When I was facing issues at work, you guided me, when I fought with people you helped me calm down and explained my mistakes without making me feel bad about them.

I wish I had listened to you when you said that he is not good, I wish my parents had listened to you when the groom side created a scene on the wedding day for money, I wish we had backed out of the wedding.

I had to travel to his house, knowing that I was about to marry a man who opposed everything I stood for. I was nothing more than a money-making machine for him and his family. Because of his insecurities about me talking to a guy, I gradually began to avoid you after we married. I didn’t comprehend his intentions at the time, and he had already separated me from my family, so I stopped communicating with you, but you continued to check up on me.

Dear best friend, I appologise for not checking up on you

But, like all good things, our friendship also had to come to an end. Your newlywed wife thought I was a detriment to your relationship, and you had no choice except to back her up. I apologise for whatever problems I may have created in your life. The calls were fewer, and I began to feel depressed. The sense of being alone, having a mentally abusive husband who went to great lengths to tear me apart, and then losing you, my one source of support.And then I lost my baby in early pregnancy, that was the last nail in my coffin.

I had no choice but to do it, to get away from it all. I couldn’t tell anyone because you or anyone else would have intervened, but I couldn’t continue going like this. I sent out an apology to everyone and consider this my apology to you. If there is a way to communicate from there, I will let you know. I wish this time I am born as your daughter because I know that you wouldn’t ditch me!
