1 Why do I Live?
The different worlds…
There are the galaxies…
How small was the Earth?... How small are we?...
Before... I was thinking and asking… how unfair is the world to me?
Why am I still alive? Asking why am I alive without anything to do in this life?
There are billions of galaxies in the whole universe and...
There is a galaxy where the Earth is located.
Where are the people living for no reason…
I am here in the ground of that world.
I'm a girl that doesn't have too much of a choice in life.
I am Jahzara Claire Nishimura, I'm a 17-year-old girl. I am in grade 11 here at the university and for your information, I am not rich, I'm just a scholar here.
"JAHZARA!!!" Karylle shouted as she ran towards me.
"Didn't I tell you, not to call me using that name anymore." I smote her head. She is my friend. She is Karylle Blue she was so kind to me. A girl like her was more generous than me.
"HI! KARYLLE," A man said as he walks towards her.
"Who is that?" I mumbled, looking at her with curiosity in my eyes questioning her about what was going on.
"I don't know, let's go." She ignored me and here she goes again denying that she doesn't know who this guy is.
"Hey! Wait!"
"STOP! KARYLLE!" I shouted while she was dragging me through the hall. I smote her head again as she stops from dragging me.
"OUCH!" She complained as she rubbed her head.
"That's your fault." I spoke.
"Hey, you! Come here!" I let the man come over us as he was staring towards us. He came over and he just stood in front of us without saying anything.
I clearly look at him and bluntly ask "Do you know her?"
"Yeah. She is Karylle Blue, right?" He answered.
"How did you know her? Where did you meet her?" I asked.
"Yesterday, I saw her walking alone in the street and I saw someone following her." He spoke.
"FOLLOWING HER?!" I exaggerated in anger. Who was the person following her again?
"Yes." He said as he smiles innocently and as I look at this woman.
"Jahzara, why are you looking at me like that? For your information I am the victim here." I asked as my voice turned anxious.
"Brother, when did this happen? And do you know who was the one after her?" I asked.
"It happened last Friday. He is Jay Reyes," The guy said as I looked at her.
"Thank you for your telling us." I said as I let him go to turn to my friend.
"Let's go and talk." I said to Karylle as I pulled her into a corner.
"What did he do to you? Why is that guy following you again?" I asked.
"N-nothing Claire." she said.
"Nothing?" I spoke.
"Karylle, there are two days for you to tell me. If I saw him, I will kill that man without even thinking twice." I know she was already impatient with it. That person was insane. Following her everywhere she goes.
"Karylle, you know why I'm worried there's a lot of people died because they are killed by their boyfriend, raped and assaulted." I spoke.
"I know, but Jay won't do that to me." She spoke.
"What?! Are you serious? He hurts you repeatedly. He cheated on you, and he asked for forgiveness again and again for his cheating. " I asked as I looked at my watch and saw that we were going late. How come she still thinks of that man's safety and what's good for him?
"Never mind. Let's go, we're going late in the class, our teacher will kill us again." I said as I let out a sigh and ran with her.
If something happens to this girl. I will lose someone again in that time. I will not have any reason to live if she leaves me.
*My Boss's Home*
"Claire, clean the whole house. I'm having visitors today. So, make sure that there wasn't even a single piece of dirt in this house." My boss said. Is your visitor a clean freak? Even if you don't take a shower every day. Bruh~
"Yes, Ma'am," I said just do everything so that I can go home early today.
"Claire, what did you do to my clothes?!" She said as she walked towards me, and she slapped me, but she was the daughter of my boss. I guess the same feather flocks together they are both violent until now.
"We're the one who pays you. Why can't you do something as simple as washing clothes?" She asked again.
"Ma'am that was okay earlier and that clothes don't look like that when I delivered it them to your room." I look at her sincerely talking the truth.
"So, what do you want to say by that?" she asked as she slapped me again.
"Are you telling me that I am a liar? I'm going on a date with someone tomorrow, now can I ask you what I would wear now that the dress that I was about to wear for tomorrow is ruined?" She said and slapped me again. I am counting every slap that she throws on my face.
After I finish washing clothes, washing dishes, cooking, and cleaning the house. I went to our modest home. But I never expected that when I got home, I would see my mother crying.
"Mom, what happened?" I asked.
"The ship where uncle is… It had an accident and there's lots of people who died and one of them is… Uncle." My older sister said as tears fell down my cheeks as I went towards my mom and hugged her. We have no relatives here and it was only my uncle who took care of us when we were young.
Why is it happening to us? Is this the reason he has not called us? He became our dad and a good brother for mother.
He was my mother's brother who chose to take care of us, then getting married to the one he loved.
"Miss Nishimura?" Someone called knocking at the gate of our house.
"Yes?" My mom ran out of the gate while wiping her tears with her hands.
"Are you Miss Lia Nishimura?" The guy asked.
"Yes." My mom answered quickly.
"There's a delivery for you Ma'am," The guy said.
"Just leave it there." My Mom said as my mom got the box, my sister and I helped her carry the box.
We opened the box and saw a letter as I gave it to my mom.
Lia's POV:
"Mom there's a letter, here." Claire said.
Claire gave me a letter that was in the box.
"Dear Older Sister, I know that when you receive this letter I might have already died. In the box, there was money there. I know that. It's just a little money, but I hope it can help you and help my niece. Older Sister we leave the house at such an early age. We manage to live a life that we want than how our parents plan for us. I just want to say thank you for everything, thank you for taking care of me in this life. Older Sister, Older Brother-In-Law is waiting for you to come out, he is searching for you the whole time. I told him not to because I know that you don't want to see him or to be with him because of what he did to you and your daughters. But I hope someday you can forgive him. Older Sister, please don't be too stubborn anymore. Forgive him and give him a chance to explain what happened before. I saw through him that he loves you so much. I hope you two will be okay soon for the two little princesses on your side." This little guy has the guts to write me a letter like this. You, stubborn little brother you make your Older Sister hate herself as my tears fall one by one on my hand.
"Mom, are you okay?" Claire asked.
"Why are you crying, Mom?" Kyline asked.
"Your Uncle was so stubborn I told him not to write me a letter if he ever dies. Because if something bad that he says in the letter I can't smite his head because he said something not right," I said.
"Mom, why are you joking like that?" The two of them laughed at me.
