1 They Took Everything Away From Me
Levy is a young master who born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Everything he wants, he can have it. However, one thing he wants the most is perhaps a little time with mama and papa.
It's a simple wish, but it's too much.
Levy's parents are very busy at work. They always work from morning till late at night, even on several occasions they go abroad to do business with their business partners. In short, The day they spend with their children is concise. But they would never forget his well-doing every day.
Therefore, when they have free time, they will spend their time with Levy all day long. Even though they sometimes separated from each other, their heart connected and the family situation is very harmonious.
A five-year-old Levy doesn't care much about wealth because he doesn't understand how to make money, but he was aware that 'working' took his mama and papa's time from him.
One day he will make "Work" perish from this world so his mama and papa will always with him forever. That was what he thought. It's just that something missing isn't what he hoped for...
One day, Levy got word that his parents had a car accident and died on the spot. The news was too sudden so that he can't give any reaction, not even crying.
As his mama and papa have gone, his world seems to turn grey all of a sudden.
Even up to his parents' funeral, Levy still didn't make any sound. His relatives thought that this child was too shaken by his parents' sudden death.
A week later, his aunt and uncle, along with their son, came to Levy's mansion. They wanted to live together, with the reason they are concern about him who can only live alone from now on.
Levy doesn't say anything as if he doesn't care about their existence because the only person he cares about is his mama and papa. His world is grey; in his eyes, their faces were faceless, or rather, they looked like talking mannequins.
Later, his uncle and aunt said they would run the company on behalf of his parents. Levy, want to ask 'why?' but no words came out of his mouth. His uncle and aunt consider Levy's silence as approval. In fact, they do not care about this child's opinion. After all, what can a five-year-old do?
As he grew up, he realized that his cousin seemed to want everything he had, starting from his room, toys, and clothes. He took everything as a grant, and his parents didn't stop him.
They consoled him, "Levy, you have to share your things with your cousin, your cousin's life was so difficult when he was little, so you have to succumb a little right?."
Levy didn't say anything as he returns to his room and shut himself. He looked at the window. The sky is so bright, but his heart feels cloudy. He seemed to see the projection of his parents laughing while holding his hand; it filled with happiness.
Although his heart died a long time ago, he still misses that moment, and he wants it!
In the past, everything he wanted, he could effortlessly obtain. But now everything he has is taken by someone else.
He reaches the projection with his hands, alas, there was nothing he could reach. His mouth slowly opened, but none of the words came out, he could only bite his lips until it bled.
When Levy turned thirteen years old, he had to go to school in the morning together with his cousin, but this time his cousin was nowhere to be seen from since breakfast to the gate of the mansion.
Levy looking at his uncle and aunt doubtfully, as if asking where his cousin is?
The uncle and aunt smiled gently, "Your cousin is not feeling well, so he won't go to school for today."
Levy didn't say anything as he didn't care about his cousin and immediately got into the car, but he halted for a moment when his uncle and aunt called him...
They smiled meaningfully, "Levy, be careful on the way!"
Levy, titled his head in doubt, but didn't overthink it and entered the car immediately.
It takes about 15 minutes from home to the school, and Levy sat quietly in the passenger seat, watching at the cars, people, trees, etc. passed through the window.
Suddenly he realizes something amiss. He expresses his doubt, "Driver, are we in the wrong way?"
The driver looked at Levythrough the mirror and answered, "We are in the right way, young master."
"..."
Levy silent for a while, and then asks another question, "Did aunt and uncle who asks you to do this?"
Although he is only a thirteen-year-old boy, he is not ignorant. His body may seem immature, but his mind was mature a lot ever since the death of his parents.
He knows that his aunt and uncle never like him.
Even though they always put a gentle smile toward him, who knows under that gentle smile how many evil thoughts that they hid.
Their kindness was only a disguise to cover their malicious schemes to covet his inheritance.
Although they never abuse him physically, they revile him mentally. Their actions were like a slow-motion poison that harms him little by a little.
Levy knew it all along, he knew it... but so what? He's just a helpless little boy and didn't know how to fight back. He could only watch them grabbing what supposed to be him little by little until he left nothing.
Meanwhile, the driver was taken aback by the little boy's question as he smiled bitterly, "Young master is a smart boy. Master and madam would be definitely happy if they knew it".
He averted his eyes from the mirror and said thoughtfully, "It's very gratifying to have a son that smart as you, young master."
"I also had a son, and he is smart and filial— An auspicious young man, of course, he's still inferior from the young master..."
The driver chuckled lightly, "He had just participated in an exam at a well-known college and passed. It does cost a lot of money, but fortunately, I had collected enough money to pay for it."
The driver continues to turn the steering wheel in a direction that Levy does not recognize. As time continues to run, the more agitated his feelings.
He scared and his hands trembling, but he still could maintain his calm expression.
The driver continued his story, "He was just one step away from entering the college, but some people intentionally hindering him. They did not even hesitate to threaten to block all access to enter college for him. Aren't they cruel? As a father, I do not wish my son's future to cut up just like that."
He glances the little boy through the mirror for the last time as he stops the car in front of the unknown lake, "Therefore, I promised them!"
He found that although the little boy's appearance remains unfazed, his hands were trembling.
"Young master, don't need to be afraid. I just take you to meet the late master and madam, soon, you'll meet them."
"Of course, so that you are not nervous, I will accompany you to meet them, young master."
The driver turns on the vehicle again and drives away toward the lake without hesitation, making Levy more scared, and his expression turns pale instantly.
He had expected that his aunt and uncle would someday drive him out of the mansion sooner or later, but he didn't expect them to kill him.
Why? They had already taken away everything he has and enjoy everything that his parents left behind.
Is wealth not enough to satisfy their greed, so they want his worthless life too?
God snatches his parents away from him, his uncle and aunt like snatching his parent's things, while his cousin likes snatching his things. Why are they so happy to seize something that belongs to someone else? Is that fun?
Levy couldn't understand it.
The massive amount of water starting to enter the rifts of the car's window and filled it inside. The driver hurriedly moves to the passenger seat to hug the little boy for this sin's last apology.
Meanwhile, Levy was in dazed, and he didn't even struggle to survive. His head filled with questions of 'why'.
Soon, he feels suffocated, and his eyes slowly blurred.
He could vaguely hear his beloved papa and mama, calling out his name, "Levy..."
