Chapter 1 : Welcome

It's already been a mess since morning. I have to pack the bags shift them in the car . I have more in the house . Where do you think we are going you might ask ...?

.

.

Don't think we are going on trip because I've never been into on or I might never be . So finally all left to say .. if you're a genius then you already know the answer but that doesn't mean if you don't you're dumb . Wait I'll tell the answer after I pack all the bags first in the car . Please wait a while ...

                          ~ After half hour later~

Oh sorry I was so busy I really forgotten about you . Oh yeah the answer is —

"Marlin !!!!! We are running out of time and here you are spacing out ?", asked Madame Rosalia . "We have to hurry go to Old town to stay and leave this place"

"Yes, mother..", Marlin said slowly .

So I guess I don't have to tell you . The fact we are-

       

"Moving out"

We are going to a new place . Cuz my family can't afford this place rent anymore. My father is a drunkard and have been gambling a lot . And my mother spends a lot of money in useless things . I have two sisters and a brother . In fact I am not lovable in their eyes . The brother Is elder and other two sisters are younger than me . My parents doesn't care about me either . So mostly during financial problems I had to starve . Let me tell you a little secret of mine ...

"They are not my real parents to begin with. They took me from an orphanage to get aids from the government . Even if I tell anyone no ones gonna believe me anyway ."

The only person who cares for Marlin is old grandma . Even she is a blood related family member she is a little neglected .

Marlin finally packed the bags on the car . She was extremely tired and sweat was running through the body . She then waited for others to come . She helped the old grandma to put her in the car . She smiles seeing Marlin . Marlin smiles back .

Grandma said, "I think it's going to a long journey"

"Yeah...", I heaved a sigh

One by one the others are coming down wearing nice clothes . I stared at them. I was dressed in rags . Not that it matters I'm mostly happy by the grace of Almighty that I'm alive. Because living in that orphanage is equal to death. Breathing a single drop of air is already a blessing for me . I can't imagine to even ask for more . That's much how my life means to me .....

"You really took a long time to pack the bags in . You're really useless nowadays . Don't make me mad by your works", said Mother as she huffily entered the car .

Then came brown haired twins , brother and sister , Sina and Jack . They looked at me with a look of disgust . Sina bluntly asked her mom , "Gosh mom , does Marlin have to go with us in the same car?!"

"Thinking about it is making me laugh", said Jack

"Does she have to go with us in the end ? Can't we leave her here?", said Dina; my youngest sister .

She's a pretty girl with a blond hair . Since this is a foreign country so it's natural .

Madame Rosalia looked at me with an arrogant look and then looked lovingly at her daughter Dina , "Dear, if we don't take her then who will . Besides she has to work for us there right?"

Sina sighed, "Whatever.." "Hey you !", as she pointed at me . "You better sit at the corner and face at the window. Don't let me see your face all the whole way."

.

.

.

"Yes, I'll make sure of that !"

Then we all went inside the car . The car started to move slowly through the meadows and lakes . It's going to be a faraway place . My mind blinked into the old home we lived in . I really liked that place . I laid in the garden. Heard the birds sings and watered the flowers . I loved nature and it melted my worries away . To go away such a place was beyond disappointing but what can I do ?

I was facing the window as ordered and didn't look at others . Only for a short while I looked at my grandma who was sleeping and Dina beside me putting in makeup . Sina is talking to her friend and Jack listening to songs .

I felt dazed in the long ride and after 5 hours we finally arrived at the place . It was a unique but who knew that this place is -

.

.

The place which is about to change my fate ..
