Loving him is Red

one

PAST

I sat up when I saw a familiar beautiful woman approaching me. I immediately extended my palm to her to beg. I'm just a girl who wanders around on the street, I don't know who my parents are, all I know is that I grew up on the street and only begging makes me live just like the other children here who are like me a beggar . I'm not like other street kids here who don't know anything about the world. Even though I don't study, I have a little knowledge and I can control myself.

I'm fifteen years old. "Hello kid, how are you?" I just didn't notice that she was also the woman who gave me food before while I was very hungry looking at her eating inside a lovely restaurant. "I'm good, can you give me a food?"

I beg her because I haven't had anything to eat since this morning "You know of all the young beggars you are the only one who is really different from them." She smiled at me and took a paper bag from her expensive bag.

When I opened it, I was surprised to see three big burgers inside and because I was hungry, I immediately ate it. "What is your name?" I stopped for a moment and shook my head "I don't know my real name, I grew up on the street and they only nicknamed me Elay."

She looked at me with pity as I continued to eat. When I finished what she gave me, I smiled at her. "Thank you." I was so full from what I ate, she handed me some water and I immediately drank it

"You know Elay, I like you and will you agree to come with me?" I stared into her eyes because I couldn't understand her. "What?" She smiled and said "Come with me and I will adopt you as my daughter."

I looked at her in shock Is this the beginning of my new life? She stood up from its seat "Will you come with me or I'll leave you here?" She said that jokingly and then she grabbed my dirty hand I nodded absentmindedly "From now on you are Irish Javier."

Fast-forward

Until now, everything that happened to me is still unclear, as long as I know that I am here in a vast and very beautiful home "And who's that kid you are going to introduce to me mom?" I sat properly on the soft couch when someone spoke behind me. Mommy left me here because she said she was going to introduce me to someone

I realized that the person she was going to introduce to me was right in front of me. I was looking down at the two pairs of shoes in front of me. "Red relax, she will be your little sister." My new mother came to me and touched my face "Irish why are you shaking look at me."

I looked up at mother with a serious face. "I'm sorry, I can't help it." I turned my gaze to the man who cleared his throat to get our attention who didn't seem to agree with what mother said to him. He is tall and like mommy's face is also beautifully made. I think he is five years older than me.

I stood up from my seat and he looked at me from head to toe as if he hated me. "Really mommy? You let her seat on the couch, like she hasn't even bathed in a few days?" I can't speak from where I'm standing. "Red enough, you're scaring her."

He came closer to me and suddenly he pointed me. "You're going to be my sister? Where did you get this trash mommy?" Mother slapped him and he touched his cheek. I didn't realize that there were tears forming in my eyes, I didn't understand why he didn't want me and I knew he didn't want me to live here. "Red don't talk to her like that! She's your little sister from now on! and you cannot disagree with me. Understood?"

He didn't answer his mother, it seems he didn't think that his own mother would slap him just because of her. He turned his back and left their house without a word. "Oh are you okay Irish? I'm sorry for my son's behavior." I just nodded and wiped my small tears. "Hush don't cry okay? Come on I'll take you to your room." Mother pulled me up the stairs.

Fast-forward

I couldn't believe my room to be is so big and beautiful, I was amazed as I turned my eyes around "Go Irish, take a shower and put it on." Mommy handed me two pairs of clothes. "Okay, but can I really sleep here?" Mother nodded and smiled. "Yes, from now on this will be your room." Because of my joy I hugged her.

"Thank you very much." I said. "You're welcome Irish but can you call me mom from now on." She said as if she was sad. "Sure, are you okay mom?" I held her hand. "Yes, take a bath, I'll wait for you downstairs, okay?" "Yes mom." After I said that, she came out of the room.
