Chapter 1
(The causes of lifelong emotional trauma’s that shattered my dreams and life. It all started from my family.)
“FAMILY”, huh? This word makes me wanna puke. It all started when I was born. My grandparents didn’t even knew about my existence. After few years, my mom took me with her at their house but they denied to accept us. Just because my father didn’t send them money they tried to act all good and let us in to get grope of his money to make our life miserable in every possible way.
Ugh !! Why am I even remembering my past.
BEEP!BEEP!(Alarm rings*)
It’s already 5 in the morning and I couldn’t get a wink of sleep . (Sigh* slowly!) It’s been a year since I started living alone in this apartment. This place feels better than that place.
Door clacks*
Couldn't you knock or something? Guess, it was my mistake to give you my apartment’s key. - Aika
Come on, don’t be like that you little punk! And even if i did knock, I know you wouldn't even bother opening that door. Huh! Your medicines are already empty. Did you forget to buy some? -Emika
