ARsa POV
I was born into a very simple family, in a very small house. It consisted of me, my father, and my mother.
Even though we live all short, but I am happy because I have a father and mother. If I had been patient and been a good boy, Dad would have bought me a new toy.
On my 4th birthday my dad went to buy me a present. I waited happily. But he never came back. How long my mom and I waited for Dad to never come home.
On my 5th birthday my mother took me to my uncle and aunt's house. Mom said she'd buy me new clothes. That's why he asked me to wait at uncle and aunt's house. Time passed and my mother never came back.
My 6th birthday, when it was raining heavily, my uncle left me near the orphanage and let me wait in the cold and hunger, until the head of the parlour found me and took me home.
A couple who had no children adopted me. They love me like their own children. However, it was only a moment until their biological child was born. Their attitude changed. And I was finally sent back to the orphanage.
I have been abandoned by people I thought loved me. All adults change attitudes quickly. And all their promises are lies.
One day a middle-aged husband and wife adopted me for their only daughter, Evania. They say Evania wants a little sister, which they can't give her. So they decided to adopt me to be his sister.
Just by looking at it I know, Evania is loved by everyone. She looks so pretty like a fairy in a fairy tale. Looks so happy. She has what all girls want, beauty, wealth, talent. How fortunate.
It doesn't take long to get close. He treats her like a real sister. Give me whatever I ask. Celebrating birthdays together. Stay in a big house and sleep in a warm bed. I should always please her so that I don't lose any of this.
However, as time went on our relationship stretched. Evania's busyness drives us away. He spends more time with his friends until late at night. Not even going home for days.
He also forgot my birthday. I don't know what he's up to. He certainly started to stay away. Just like my father and mother, my uncles and aunts, or my foster parents before. They get bored and leave me again.
Not again! This time I don't want to be left out again! Because now I'm the one who's gonna throw it away and get all hers.
After Evania died, I played the role of the sister who lost her brother. At least enough to fool Evania's biological parents. Enough to make them love me like their real children. Enough to make them believe and leave all their possessions to me.
And after those two parents died, it was all mine. I guess I'll be happy after I get it all. But everything feels empty. I still end up alone. What's the difference with the old days?
Everyone who comes near me just wants my treasure. Just like me who wants everything that Evania has.
But he didn't do it. Just come by once to see me and then leave. Like when he was alive. When he came home late at night, he looked into my room and left without saying anything.
Tonight I met him to ask him, but only by looking into his eyes did I find the answer. The same eyes my father and mother had. Eyes that look at me with love and concern.
When I was a kid I might not understand, but when I grew up I could understand by myself. You might be embarrassed to go home without a gift. She was afraid to see her daughter's sad and disappointed face of not being able to keep her promise.
My poor and desperate mother could only leave me to her brother who had a better income than her. Wishing her only daughter would be cared for and get a better life with her new family.
And Evania, the only foreigner to give me the warmth of family, but I threw it away.
I don't know why he's avoiding me, but I pretend I don't. I don't care when he comes home in dirty clothes, or when there's blood stains on the clothes he's wearing.
I didn't ask her when I found her asleep in the yard or her body getting thinner over time. I ignored the fact that he might be in trouble, or in danger. I didn't want to care, even as he said to me long before I thought of a plan to get rid of him,
"Make sure you take good care of yourself even if I'm not around. Stop depending on people because you are strong enough to live independently. If something bad suddenly happens to me where I have to leave you alone, at least I believe you'll be fine without me."
Those are not the words of someone who will throw me away. Those were the farewell words of someone who was about to go far away. He knew that his life would not be long.
The rushing stream of the river had swept away my body and mind. The memories of my father and mother about my time with Evania continued to spin like a movie.
It's strange! The river water is so cold as ice, but the sound of Evania singing in the rain makes my heart feel warm. Well even though my life ended tragically at least I've been happy.
