Prologue

Time flies when you're happy but time stops when you're not. I don't know why life is so cruel especially to me. Who would have thought that a 19 year old girl will end up here at the police station staring to an old man with a weird mustache?


"Where's my daughter?" that's definitely my dad with his authoritative voice and the moment he saw me, I know he's disappointed. This isn't the first time that he gave me those cold stares and I might be a little immature for my age but doing crazy stuffs prove that I exist.


"You've gone too far this time. Just be thankful that nobody got hurt with your childish and reckless act." he said those words while gritting his teeth. I will shiver if I'm a normal person but I'm not because I'm her daughter, not the favorite one but the most hated.


I'm not sure about the things that he will do this time but when I saw my things outside, I panicked.


"What is happening, dad?"


"Haven't I told you a while ago that you've gone too far this time? You know how much I hate people who do questionable things for a nonsense reason."


"It means what? You'll send me away just like what you did to my brother?"


"If that's what I need to do then I will." I can't believe that he will do this again just to get rid of the burdens in his life. He doesn't want to be with us, his children. I always try to understand him because I know that he hates the life that we have just like how much I hate it but pushing us away will never be the answer in this situation we're in.


Most people believe in love but for us, for me? It is just a part of endless fantasies that we desire to have. It's not even real and my family is a proof that love will never exist, it's just pure business and power to save a name.


"To where?" I asked him coldly.


"Peter will take you there." and then he left in his own car leaving us without a proper goodbye. I expected it but parting ways in front of the police station with him is the most iconic thing I could write on my diary even though I don't really have one.


"Peter, your princess is ready to travel. Shall we?" he opened the door for me and before I go inside I took a selfie and posted it on my Instagram.


People will go crazy with the things that I do, some of them will think that I'm cool, most of them will say that I'm an attention seeker and the oldies will tell me what is the right thing to do. I really don't care because honestly speaking they're all real.


I looked outside the window and the rain starts to fall. It's already dark that it makes the whole city blurry but beautiful because of the mixture of post and car lights. The traffic do the magic and I can stay here for more than an hour while listening to some good music. It's like having the most perfect moment in the most imperfect situation but again time flies, as soon as the car starts moving, the buildings are slowly turning into tall trees, the traffic becomes an endless fields and the city from where I grew up becomes a stranger to me, an unknown paradise.


From afar I saw the arc "La Casa Prima". I knew it, he sent me to the place where my brother is currently staying and fulfilling his dreams.


Peter helped me with my things and I smiled when I saw my grandparents waiting for me with my brother. He's not showing any reactions and I understand why knowing that we are now having the same fate away from the jungle.


"It's nice to see you my dear." my grandparents said that despite of how unhappy they are for an obvious reason. I looked at my brother and the fact that we never see each other for a long time makes the reunion a little awkward so I just smiled at him and walked towards the dining hall, the rest is history.


It's already ten in the evening and I can't even sleep, I looked outside through the window and I saw how wide this place is. Trees are everywhere, the sound of the leaves replaced the sound of the vehicles, there's no air pollution and the silence is deafening. Everything is so different, I can't even see a lot of people outside having their night life.


In the city, I'm still outside hanging out with my friends, partying endlessly at this hour but now, all I can hear are the sound of the the crickets in a deep night.


I'm definitely not in the place for the wilds but I will never be tamed.
