It's been eight years since she lost someone she loved, six years since she lost something she didn't wanted to lose, five years since she was with someone she didn't wanted to be with, seven years since she was looked towards with pity and four yea...
The longing to experience it has always left me weak, fragile, on the brink of shattering into a million pieces.
Maybe I was the unfortunate one. Maybe I was the misfit. Maybe just maybe.
But the feeling of hiraeth echoes through my soul, embedded in the depths of my heart, I wish I could take it out, I tried and I failed.

The drive to the house was short, merely a ten-minute drive but Tanya's excitement made it feel like a ten-hour drive.
She was eager to know everything about the family, she was more excited about meeting these people than I was. She was trying to get my "brother" to talk but he wouldn't budge.

The house, or may I say the mansion was big enough to fit an animal sanctuary, a humongous property with fountains, luscious grass and trees, bodyguards at the front gate and a huge mansion in between.
He parked the car in front of the mansion and Tanya and my brother opened their car doors to come out, I opened the car door to my side and was about to stand up but got lightheaded, the wave of drowsiness made me stumble slightly, about to fall but I grabbed the car handle and steadied myself. Thankfully, no one noticed.
Both of them sauntered towards the mansion with me walking behind them, the man at the front opened the french door revealing a huge hallway, a double staircase in the front leading to the second floor, the ground had shiny tiles and a big chandelier hung above at the awning, the lightning was dim and the whole mansion had an eerie vibe to it. There was a commotion on the left side with someone making howling sounds.
Weird.
We walked towards what I suppose, the living room, with Tanya and my brother in front like a shield covering me.
As soon as we entered, everyone stopped talking and a voice said, "She's our sister? She is way too old. Dainn you got some competition there."
"She's her social worker, dumbass," the doctor brother said.
