CHAPTER 10: Family Picture
Katty P.O.V
“If I were you I'm going to help Leo…” I said and hoping she will follow what I had said but that’s impossible to happen. She’s so hard-headed.
She raised her eyebrow and roll her eyes to me.
“F-fine, I should start to clean now,” I said.
I walk and pass her. Aunt Meredith is not here, probably she is outside waiting for the package that her sister had deliver to her.
As I reached the forth floor, I have noticed a lot of rooms that had written on it-- closed.
I forgot it’s the end of the month and some of the occupants are leaving. There’s only five rooms left here in forth floor.
As I enter the one room, I got surprise. I can’t stop myself saying the word wow, and my mouth is still open as I literally saying the word.
I went to the bathroom and I got also surprised.
“This is really amazing!” I screamed.
I can’t leave this room. It’s so clean and someone had designed this room after leaving.
“What makes him/her designed this room?” I ask to myself. “So, weird!”
I hear some footsteps and noise so I immediately go out to this room. I shouldn’t go inside here because there’s a name on it—closed. But I’m just checking if it’s already clean.
I saw a group of people. I thought there are teenagers but they are a one family. A father, mother and the their three children. They go inside the room who I have been and I hear them so noisy.
I saw also a delivery boy who got so many food. I feel hungry. I decided to start cleaning and I go inside to the other room.
“Happy birthday…to you. Happy birthday ..”
“Happy Birthday to you..Baby Dianne. Your not a baby anymore. Happy 18th Birthday!”
“Happy Birthday..”
I feel my tears in my cheeks as I hear their noise in other room. A simple family like them is full of happiness. A family that I am hoping for so long. A family like them that I want to feel.
Having a birthday celebration like this.. is what I want. When I turn eighteen nobody who greet me even the people who knows my birthday they forget about it ..they forget me.
Today in my existence nobody knows about me. Nobody interested to me.
“I love you, Dad and Mom!”
“We love you too.. Family is Love”
I put my both hand in my ears. I can’t take it anymore. I don’t want to hear such things about that bullsh*t family.
I don’t have family. I feel my whole body is weak. I try to walk even I can’t see t clearly the stairs. I keep on crying and I don’t know how to stop it.
I want to lie around on my bed. And now I feel that I’m now lying in my soft bed. I cry harder.
And when I feel that I don’t have tears anymore falling from my eyes. I watch the ceiling and remembering the days, the moment when I’m with them.
If I didn’t left is there a chance the whole things happening to me will be okay. Is there a chance we can go back to the same happiness before when I was young?
I forced myself off my bed and I open my drawer. I took my old notebook, a picture book of mine.
As I saw my front book, I feel my tears again.
“M-mommy, Daddy -- my sister…My family” I said. I feel the happiness in our eyes. What to go back in the old times. When I am so happy, the happiest girl alive before.
I really miss them..but the day is best to come. One more months I can now see you—Mom, Dad. Wait for me, I want to prove myself to all of you..that your wrong Dad. I’m Samantha your daughter, your little princess.
“I love all of you and I’m miss…”
Our old family pictures is now fading, it’s because that’s what before. So many years had pass.
We can have another family picture in the future.

I was wake up too early and I did my daily routine. It’s a Sunday morning today and Aunt Meredith had told me that I’m going to deliver those three boxes in Melody Resort.
Melody resort is well known resort here and there is a lot of people who is visiting there. And it really makes me nervous, how I’m going to talk to that the lady Mert one of the friends of Aunt Meredith.
