Vanilla Latte
On the very same day, i flipped thorough all of my photo albums.
After all this while, I thought to myself. My life now is indeed blissful. I remembered the moments i spent with the one I love most whom noe is lying beside me with my little angel.
To reminisce my past is very horrifying to me. And i ensure that my little angel will never have to go through what i have experienced.
I have the sudden urge to recall those memories..
"It's better for me to be another room," I said while i was walking out of the room of my husband and me.
"Hah.. how are you dear?" I asked the photo album that i had with me. A question that will never be answered by it.
As i am going through the photo album page by page, without realizing it, my tears started to roll down my cheek. Let me tell all of you my story, so that you might understand my love for him, and the reason I am happy with whom i am now...
FLASHBACK, 1995" You ill-starred child!" a woman around the age of 42 shouted. Venny her name.
" What i've done? Why do you have to shout at me like that mom? " a girl with long, black straight hair and a pair of beautiful eyes, pouty red lips replied. She started to tremble in fear. " Your biggest mistake is to born in my family! Why do you have to born here?! I hate you! Foolish girl!" Venny's voice was getting louder with every shout.
" You hated me? Do you have that much hatred towards me? Why don't you kill me at the moment i was bron?" the girl can't hold back her emotions anymore. She shed all her tears all the while she was running towards the park filled with snow.
"Why? Why am i like this? Why am i the one that is bringing all the bad luck to them? why!!!!!" she screamed to a big tree as she wiped away all her tears...
" It is because you are weak. This is the reason why they treated you this way," a voice from nowhere answered her question. " You, how do you know wether or not am I weak?" the girl want infuriated by that statement.
" The proof is that you cried and scolded the innocent tree," that person continued although he was nowhere can be seen.
" Who are you?" the girl wept..."Is it important to know who am i? What's more important now is that you have disturb me here.I'll leave. Continue to your sob." and at the same time, a figured of man appeared. A figure that was very foreign to the girl. A tall, thin figure with unique ornament dangling from his ear. His hair was light brown, messy
"Off i go Barbie," he smiled at her, knocking her out of amazement. "Barbie? How dare you call me Barbie?" she asked while starting her pace to chase him. " I'll call you tree fairy then!" she vanished.
-He is like a dear fairy. What a beautiful face he has, and those lovely eyes, who is this boy? Will i ever meet him again? Will i ? maybe tomorrow?-
Step by step, she inched through the snow. when she arrived at the front door of her house, she took a deep breath. Not long after, "You idiot! Where have you been? Are you digging your own grave by coming home this late?" This time, it is Andreas Etherlade that is shouting at her. He is Venny's husbband, who is also father of this 12 years old girl, Starla... Starla Etherlade.
"I apologize... I was at the park just now," the girl replied enterting the house. "You have school tomorrow,young lady.Don't stay up too late," Andreas continued, who is apparently kinder than Venny. "Good night dad, mom" Starla wished as Venny stared at her with much hatred.
In her small room, "God, please let tomorrow be a better day." The very same prayer that Starla payed daily before going off to sleep. Starla's seleep was sheltered by peace. However, outside Starla's room, " Why didn't you throw that stupid girl away?" Venny asked Andreas.
Andreas Was enraged by this remark, he yelled, " What do you mean? She is my family, my small little child. How dare you talk like this?", "Andreas, listen to me. The condition we are now is not enough for the three of us! You have got to understand it. It's allright if you doesn't have a stable income! i'm allright with it! Get it?!" Shouted Venny and she woke Starla up. "Forgive me dad..."Starla whispered on her bed accompanied by stream of tears...
