I left to the city where my real family lived,where I created the memories that I'd still love to cherish,the city where I sleepwalk to in my thoughts,in my dreams...

The journey from Berkley to San Jose took about an hour,so all I could do while looking over the car glass was walking down in my own memory lane.I remembered how mom never forgot to take me to the the park or cinema every weekend after checking my homework.On days which I haven't completed them,she threatened me saying that I won't be able to go out next weekend.My immature soul, who never grasped her tricks back then, made quick notes to finish them before going to bed on the same day just for the sake of receiving  mom's heartwarming compliments.I always loved the way she praised me...THAT'S MY DAUGHTER,DEFINITELY YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE AFTER ME,I HAVE A LITTLE CUTE DAUGHTER WHO IS DEFINITELY SMART AND BRAINY. Her words continuously echo in my head.. I don't see her anymore.. I miss you mom and it hurts so bad...

The vehicle stopped infront of the only place where I could meet my mom.Mark exactly knew where I went whenever I got a chance to go outon my own and I didn't have to verbalize to where my destination was.Eventhough it's been few months since Mark started working for dad,he was the nicest person in this place after Mary.Though he didn't know much about my past,he was always very kind to me.

After walking through the graves I stopped infront of the headstone which had my mom's name,"Kim Aria" on it.Even the thought that she's lying under this, felt like needles piercing through my heart.

*FLASHBACK*

Aria:Don't cry Ashley,you are my strong little princess.Papa won't like to see you with tears.

Ashley:But mom,Papa's gone.Now who's gonna ride me to school in his broom broom?Who's gonna stop aunt when she starts shouting at me?😭😭😭

Aria:Don't cry sweetheart.He's looking at you from above.He'll always be there whenever you need him though we can't see him.

Ashley:Aren't you sad mom?God took your dad away.

Aria:No baby,God took him to heaven because he lived a great life while he was on Earth.So we should be happy for him.

Ashley:Then why did God send him here without keeping him in heaven?Now that Papa's gone,I'll miss him more.

Aria:Ashey,you are too little for this princess.But I hope you'll remember my words someday.God sent him here so that he can have a great time receiving love and care from us.So that he can enjoy some time here while helping others before going to heaven.Now stop crying baby,he is definitely happy now because  you loved Papa a lot and endlessly would do so.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Now I can understand you mom.I hope you are also doing well in heaven with Papa.I miss you all a lot.You would have taken me with you without stranding me here alone...I don't even know whether dad loves me or not.He never tries to stop step-mom when she starts yelling at me.I'm sick of this mom,can't you come back and take me with you please.None of them care about me and all I do by living with them is doing their slave work.Did dad do the same for you mom?Was it only you who loved her?All he can care about is his fuc*ing business regardless of how bad I'm being treated.Was he the same back then?No one here cares about me mom,I MISS YOU!

It was already noon when we stopped infront of our aunt's house.They were so happy to see me back after months.Even my cousins were there so we had a lot to share with each other.After having meals Keiley,aunt Kathy's youngest daughter suggested of going outside since I had time till the evening to go home.On our way,Mark told that step-mom wants me home by dinner time so I had to leave from here about 6 o'clock.After they all got ready,we headed to the park with Mark.My aunt had a car but it was not spacious enough for five people to get in.Since Mark is already going to tail us by our vehicle,I suggested of going in our vehicle.Luckily,Mark is always a nice guy and he assured that he won't tell Mrs.Kim about it.I already knew step-mom won't allow it since she's not even pleased with me having a driver along with this vehicle at all.It was only in these kind of situations I felt that dad is quite considerate.

After walking around and talking about our whereabouts,we bought some ice-creams from the parlour nearby

After walking around and talking about our whereabouts,we bought some ice-creams from the parlour nearby.I got an Oreo ice-cream,which I craved since earlie.My mom used to buy me ice-creams whenever we come here and she asked for my preference everytime though she knew I loved this the most.

Aria:Ashey,You should try other flavours to see whether they are better than this.

Ashley:No mom,I know this is the best,it's the most delicious ice-cream I've ever had.You should have it too.

I miss mom,she would be happy to be with all of us...

After spending hours with them,I got in the car to head back after dropping aunt and the others at their place.It was always so sad to bid goodbyes to them since none of us know when we'll meet again...Fortunate enough,we arrived by 6.45 and I was able join dinner.It wasn't great at all since step-mom was dissapointed as usual about the frock I chose.I guess Ms.Danilka already informed her about that.Dad was silent for her complaints as usual.He was always like this,he never tried to stop step-mom nor he added anything into it.Without being bothered by them,I went to my room after having dinner.I was told to be ready by 8.00 before the stylist arrives on the next day...
