Aaliyah's POV

"Think about it once more. What if this doesn't turn out the way you want it to be?" My Bhabijaan asked from behind as I forwarded my steps to the chamber.

I knew this would change my life forever and I know in a good way.

"You were the one who motivated me all along Bhabijaan. Now you want me to rethink? To take a step back? I don't think I can." 

"I am-" She stopped saying whatever she was going to say and took a long-deep breath. "I wish you all the best Aaliyah. Just know no matter what, you will always have my support." She patted my cheeks with the warmth that I always crave. A warmth that my own mother couldn't give me and a warmth I am seeking from a person who doesn't even have it for me.

Yet.

I will have everything I ever want. All I need to do is cross this door and my desires will be within my reach.

And I did. I stepped forward signaling to the attendees to make an announcement of my arrival. When I come out I know I am going to have a big smile of accomplishment on my face.

Because how can I not get something when I want it so intensely?
