Challenge

After getting the confession letter from Hannah, it was a tough task to get her email address through Ashley. She was torturing me all the time and I was fulfilling her stupid demands. It all went on for about a week and then finally she got pity on me and grant me access.

I emailed her on the weekend and then it became a routine. On weekends, we used to exchange emails and share almost every detail about how we spent the whole week and how much we missed each other. It went for 7 years. During this period, we went one more time to Germany and spent quality time. Hannah, Ash and I used to go on outings. Sometimes, Ashley found some silly excuse, to respect our privacy and I used to take Hannah to lunch or coffee. Those were the days of promises. We planned our future like it was written as it is for us. And we were so sure that we would go to make it. The plan was to talk to my parents just after getting a good job which was only possible after my graduation. That is why My graduation day was even more special for me. But who had known that It would become the most unforgettable day of my life? The day on which my life took a "wrong turn".

From that day onwards, all the love my heart has been saturated with was replaced by hatred. The hatred for the criminals, from the street snatchers, from the bank robbers. I got a new aim in my life which was to join the national guard. So I applied for the New York national guard. A couple of days Before leaving for my BCT training, I emailed Hannah that I was going to be unavailable for 10 months. She knew the whole situation well, so did not say anything. she just wished me luck!

" I had so much to tell you, Simon! But your aim and problems are far more important than my stupid insecurities. I understand and wish you all the good luck. May you get all the success you deserve."

I did not notice what she was trying to tell, I did not even ask. And there, I made one of the biggest mistakes in my life. After reaching the training reception battalion, I made a final call to my mom and went underground for 10 months, wishing to get all the good I need, unaware of another big loss heading toward me.
