CHAPTER THREE

YUMI POV "Your birthday is near" Reika said with a smile

Yeah my birthday, it's close.

But I don't feel like celebrating because of what happened on my last birthday

* flashback *

Today is my birthday! I woke up excited.

"Happy Birthday self" I said to myself and smiled

I got up and straightened up.

I took my cellphone afterwards.

No messages, no calls. Did they forget?

Hmm. It doesn't matter if they remember that later.

Smile Yumi

"Happy Birthday Yumi" smiling cousin of my cousin

I smiled at her

"Thank you" I just said

By the way I am here now living in my aunt's house on the mother side. Mama likes me to live here, that's why.

It's 9am but still no call.

* ting *

I looked at my cellphone and it rang

I checked it, may text message from mom. So I opened it excitedly

* from mom; Good morning, don't forget your brother's ah *

Uh, of course my brother is fighting the campaign at his school, that's why he makes me flyers

I took my laptop and I immediately layout the flyers, I'm just done I just printed.

I took the A4 paper he gave me and put it in the printer.

Shit

Does not fit. What am I going to do? I really need it tomorrow.

I texted mom and told her the problem, I waited for her reply until 1pm but still nothing

That's why I decided to call her.

* Calling Mom *

"Ate!" my brother greeted me warmly

"Happy Birthday sister, I miss you" I smiled at what he said

"Thanks, uhmm where is mom?" I asked him

"Mom, sister wants to talk to you" I heard my brother say

"Tell her, I don't want to talk to her" I heard mom answer.

I smiled sadly ..

"It's okay, I'll take it down ah?" I said to my brother and turned off the call.

My tears started falling

It's my birthday, doesn't he remember?

She doesn't want to talk to me, Why? It is because i didn't do my little brothers flyers?

This is my first birthday when I am not at our house. Now I know that I'm not important.

I stopped crying.

No, I shouldn’t be affected, she’s always like that to me.

I smiled, a sad smile and wiped my tears.

No, this is my day so I will do everything to make myself happy.

I took my cellphone and then silenced it and left it in the room.

'I don't want to talk to any of them first' I said to myself
