Born With A Curse

** Chapter 10: The Confession**

The next morning, as the sun rose, casting a pale light over the town, Mr. Waller called Meera to him. She approached him cautiously, sensing that something was different.

"Meera," he began, his voice heavy with emotion, "there’s something I need to tell you. Something about your mother, and about us."

Meera’s heart raced. She had always avoided asking about her mother, but now the truth was coming whether she was ready or not.

"Your mother... she didn’t die because of you, Meera. And the accident that took my legs—it wasn’t your fault either. I’ve let this family blame you for too long, and I’m sorry for that. You deserve to know the truth.

You’re not cursed, my child. You’re loved. And I’m so proud of the woman you’re becoming."

As his words sank in, Meera felt something inside her break free. The weight she had carried for so long began to lift. She wasn’t cursed. She wasn’t responsible for the pain in her family.

And with that realization, she knew she had to make things right with Reyansh.

**Chapter 11: The Meeting**

That afternoon, Meera sent Reyansh a message.

**"Let’s meet tomorrow. There’s something I need to tell you."**

For the first time in a long time, Meera felt a sense of hope.

**Chapter 12: Lost in Thought**

Meera lay on her bed, her phone in hand, staring at the last message she had sent to Reyansh. The weight of her emotions pulled her into the past, where memories she had long tried to bury began to resurface. Her heart felt heavy as she remembered the innocence of their friendship, and the day everything changed. She closed her eyes, letting herself be transported back in time.
