My life is full of chaos. All I wanted was to feel safe with my family.
6 Years ago, the life I lived went according to what I expected. My parents are happy with us with their children. My little sister and I are princesses and princes to both our parents. Everything was so perfect before the accident that took Papa's life and made Mama go blind and also Mama's weakened health.
I always thought as long as Auntie was with us, everything would be fine. I was so stupid I thought that. Because what happened was so different.
Suddenly after Papa's death, Aunt and her husband left us in chaos. So I had to work hard in my own house to be able to pay for Mama's hospital bills.
In addition, I also have to maintain my achievements in school to be able to get a scholarship in order to stay in school. It also happened to my little brother who was just 8 years old.
In our own home, we became servants. It's like the story of Cinderella. After all I did not expect to meet a handsome prince who would save me from my evil family. Aunty treated us like trash, while her two daughters lived in luxury.
It all felt so ironic because when my parents were fine, I remembered how they helped Auntie and their children. But now....
I breathed deeply....
Feeling hopeless with my own unstable life.
"Priest... Patchouli..."
I finally came to my senses from my daydreams because of Lila's voice moving my body.
"Oh Lila." My speech.
"You why? What the hell is it? You didn't even listen to me calling you a few times." Ask Lila to me.
I almost forgot that I was working on a task that the lecturer had given Lila.
"Sorry Lila, I was a little dreamy." Reply me.
"What's wrong?" Ask Lila again.
"Forget it. I'll wash my face with water first." My speech.
"No need. I'll go alone. You don't have to trouble yourself for that." Reply me.
I then went to wash my face in the toilet alone and believe me, that it was the worst mistake that ever happened in my life. I didn't know what the story was until Sinta was there with her friends.
And what happened next was, I was really tortured by Sinta and her crazy friends in that toilet.
"What are you guys doing? Get your hands off me." I said trying to escape.
But there were three girls who seemed to be Sinta's friends holding me. Where the girls are in reality is not just ordinary girls. But all are very muscular girls and juba has very great strength.
I have no power to fight them.
"Of course I'll let you go, once I give you the punishment you deserve for stealing my girlfriend." Sinta said and approached me by holding a broken glass bottle.
"I warned you that was the last time. But it seems you're not listening to me seriously." Say Love again.
"I didn't do anything and couldn't even do anything if Aldi was the one who kept coming closer to me. There's no connection between me and him." My words to Sinta tried to convince her that she could let me go.
"Oh so you want to make me believe that my Aldi is the one who comes close to you. Then there will be plenty of reasons for me to ruin this pretty face you have." Sinta.
He drew closer to me and I tried as hard as I could to escape from the grasp of his friend's hand. But that doesn't change anything and in a few seconds, I'll be slashed by Sinta with the shrapnel in my face.
Cinderella has a very miserable life and she is saved from her cruel stepmother and also her stepbrother. But of course I'm not her and I'll never be Cinderella. No prince will come to save me at this time.
But anyway, I tried to beg only for this moment alone, I could be saved by someone. Only this time, once do I need a miracle. I kept hoping far from my heart. But when Sinta raised her hand, I could only close my eyes in panic and think that I would get a cut on my face.
But anyway, it didn't happen. I only felt a drop of warm liquid fall into my face. But there was no pain I could feel.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw a tall figure protecting me.
"Al's.... Aldi?"
Seriate....
