In My Dreams
Mesmerizing and taming ambiance snap me out from asleep. The delicate scent of flowers with the curtains that seemed to be dancing with the warm breeze brushing my skin, and the sun that is shining directly from the window, made me wonder where I am?
Then, there’s a white fair lady standing next to me. Her charcoal black hair and rosy cheeks made her stand out of all the beauties. She walk closer towards me and brushed her cold hands on my hair. “Good morning baby.” I am of no words to say.
“Bang!” a loud eerie sound brought me back to my senses and realizing it’s all but a dream.
That place in my dream is way opposite from this place I am living. Here, it smells like a pigsty. No windows. No flowers. No good morning. All there is, is the sun that bathes me every single day.
" You Punk! Wake Up!” A lady about an age of 40 with a blonde-dyed hair and sun-kissed skin entered with a bucket full of water and splashed it directly on my face making me stand up draping with water.
She is Amelia. My mother.
“I didn’t raise you to be a pet! Get up and work!” she yelled. Amelia had always been this way to almost anyone except to Alec. My Father. When Amelia is about to grab my hair and pull me out from that pigsty attic, a raging voice of a man echoed in the hall.
“Amelia! What are you doing?” The man is tall, dark and extremely good-looking. By looking at his physique he seems to be in his early 20′s but in reality he’s the same age as Amelia. Unlike Amelia, Alec treats me as his precious, the one and only apple of his eyes and that’s the reason Amelia hated me so much that she wanna bury me alive.
“Alec, you’re home.” Amelia let go of my hair and smiled with a hint of fear. Since Alec works in other city, he comes home in no specific time and date and this is the first time after 5 months. Alec wanted to bring me along with him to the city but Amelia kept on refusing knowing that without me, my father will never visit her ever again.
But this time, will my fate be changed? Looking at my father, Amelia got no escape and she's gotta pay for what she did. When Alec walked towards Amelia, Amelia shivered and is sweating. She looks like as if she's about to be massacred. Before Alec reached Amelia, I stood in front of Amelia looking straight to the beastly eyes of my father and in that moment he stopped and get back to his senses. "What are you doing?" Alec asked. I answered him,"Though this pig treated me badly, she is still the one that took care of me while you're gone." after that, Alec fell silent for a moment and said" Okay. Amelia, pack up my daughters clothes!" Amelia run to the attic, grab my suitcase and hand it over to Alec.
