"And who told you to show your ugly self in front of my guest!" Dad yelled at me removing his belt from his pant

"I wasn't aware had visitors. I'm sorry" i cried

"You're sorry? You're sorry!" He yelled and flogged me with the belt.

"Please dad" I begged crying in pain

" I am not your father! You are worthless and useless" He kept flogging me hard which later gave me another scar on my back and thigh because my skin tore

" Please"

"Leave my house" He pulled me by my hair and threw me out of the house along side with few of my things

"Where do I go from here!" I cried

" It's none of my business stesia" He shuts the door in my face.

*~*~*

" Please" I jumped up from where I was laying down

Another dream! Although it happened real life. It happened to me.

I stood up from the ground where my blanket was and head to the local bathroom.

I stay in an abandoned house. It is so old fashioned but it has a bedroom,sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. I sleep on a mat because I can't afford a bed. I use my little salary to buy kitchen utensils and other necessary things including text books since I am not going to school.

I started working when I was 12. I cleaned people's house and received insult from their children although it was a part time job and then when I was 13 I started working in a bar but I resigned after a terrible, unforgettable thing happened. When I was 14 I started working in a cafe and a bookshop. That has been my source of income till now.

I brush my teeth, take my bath and changed into a long hand top and a skirt with a cap to cover the scar on my forehead. Yes ! I am ashamed of my scar. I look around for something to eat but I'm outta food so I leave the house. I guess I'll be working with an empty stomach.

It's not new though

Story of my life.
