Gulf's POV

----------------------------------------

Since I was busy with my studies, I didn't have enough time to read my mother's diaries all at once, that's why, every night, before sleeping, I would read a few pages, I discovered that she was indeed the little girl from the old man's story, since her both she stayed locked up in that house along with her father because of her eyes, her mother was very strict and didn't feed her much which is why she grew up with a week body

I was shocked when I also discovered the truth about the murder case, her mother was apparently a part of some dangerous group who goes around collecting all rare things, she accidently noticed her father and instead of just killing him and taking his eyes, she decided to marry him to give birth to more children with the same eyes just to have more money, what shocked me more is that house was already a place where previous killers and psychopath from the same group go into hiding chasing people with red eyes

It seem there were more people with scarlet eyes during that time which explain that hidden room and the number of the jars, I feel sorry for them, it must be horrible, not just to suffer with living with red eyes but also going through that experience of having them being taken, my mother's mother tried to do the same, that night she attacked her daughter trying to forcefully take her eyes out after putting some drug in her husband food who noticed that, he saved his daughter but was attacked by both his wife and son and so holding to his daughter's and his life he killed both of them, took everything they need and ran way to the city

Since they both had nothing, the father had to leave his daughter in an orphanage while he worked to provide enough money and a place for both of them, luckily a kind person accepted him as a waiter in a restaurant and even helped him get a job as a construction worker and gave him a dark eye lens to be able to live in peace, things were great for w few years but during her second year in high school, her father caught a terrible illness that took him away, she was so sad and depressed since she loved her father a lot but thankfully her close friend supported her and helped her move forward

************************************

Honestly, I felt mixture of emotions when I read this, I felt sad for my mother, she had a worst life than me yet she stayed strong till the end and even gave birth to me, I also felt happy that both my mother and grandfather found kind and nice people who helped them and accepted them.

On the other hand, I'm feeling scared, what if this dangerous group still exists and is still searching for people with red eyes, although I think I'm the only one left but if they find me it will cause a huge problem to my family, maybe I should consider moving away, I also must warn them just in case along with Mew

Speaking of Mew, I noticed that he started acting strangely for the past two weeks I think, he started to get more curious asking me all kind of questions and even, not to mention he keep dragging me to empty places wanting to see my eyes as if he got addicted to seeing them, maybe that's a hidden effect my eyes had that I didn't know about, however, it never happened with those who saw my eyes when I was younger, maybe because I was just a child back then?

Aside from that, Mew started being a little touchy, like he would suddenly put his hand around my neck or shoulder while walking or holding my hand each time he got the chance to, not to mention how close he gets when he stare into my red eyes, the weirdest thing is that I find myself going with the flow, I was mean so much to him before that's why I don't want to make him sad, he was patient enough with me but still it's getting a bit uncomfortable or better say, his touch is making me feel strange

"good morning Gulf" he greeted by the car, he was standing by the door

"good morning" I said trying to go out
