"What did he mean earlier mom, he has a little sister?" I asked her while we were eating in a restaurant I can't get out of my mind what he said, I know that I have no right to asked, but I can't deny that even though I was young, I also felt pain in my heart and the words he threw at me.

After mommy and I shopped for my clothes and other things, we went to the restaurant because we were so tired that we were hungry even though we just had breakfast earlier. She wants me to gain weight, she doesn't want me to feel hungry.

"Irish, I'm really sorry for what Red was saying earlier because he just couldn't accept it yet." She looked at me sadly

"Since we lost his lil sister, Red changed. Sometimes he doesn't come home. He loves his lil sister Angel very much. It hurts so much to think that in an instant she will be gone from us." She started crying while I was seriously listening to her.

"It was on Angel's birthday. They were swimming in the pool with her friends then she slipped and broke her head which killed her, it was very painful, she's only 16 years old she couldn't even achieve the her dreams." I feed sad about what happened to her daughter.

"Oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't asked." I feel guilty.

"No, it's okay, you should know about that Irish you're now part of the family." She smiled at me and I hugged her while she wiped her tears.

"Let's eat quickly so we can go home."

Fast-forward

While we were on the taxi, Mom looked at me "Irish." Suddenly she called my name. "Why?" I turned to her. "Do you want to study?" I was a little surprised by what I heard. "Yes." I can't believe it she looked at me seriously.

"But I'm fifteen years old." It looks like she already knows what I mean "Well, you can do study at home, and I will find someone who will be your tutor, the one who will be your teacher." For a long time I wanted to study and go to school. "Ah Yes, thank you very much mom."

"I want you to be a part of our family Irish, your brother Red is kind, maybe we should understand him first, and he will accept us in the end."

"I hope so because it's scary to make him angry." I said and laugh a little.

"Not now but soon, and everything's gonna be alright, okay?" I understand what she meant "Ah yes mom." She smiled at me.
