My hand flew to my mouth covering it and tears slipped from my eyes blurring my vision. I felt earth scattering shock all over my body making me numb for a while. 

Feeling utterly disgusted and disheartened, my feet walked away on its own accord and somehow I reached the parking lot where the driver opened the car's door for me and I settled inside the car while looking like a total mess. 

I could imagine my mascara being smudged on my cheeks making me looked like a ghost in a horror movie. I so wanted to hide away from the vicinity of everyone that I wished I had a supernatural power to become invisible.

My hands shook along with my abnormally racing heart and if I stay here for a minute longer then I would have an attack. Suppressing the discomfort, I whispere yelled in a hoarse voice.

"Drive." My sound came out that of a wounded kitten and I didn't mean to sound rude but it came out that way.

"Mam, we h-" The driver was babbling something which my muddled brain couldn't comprehend.

"Just drive!" I yelled sounding infuriated and broke down looking like a wreck.

The last ounce of willpower crumbled down and I clutched my chest in pain. It hurt so much that if it were before I would have cried out in pain behaving like a spoiled brat but the pain of betrayal was greater than the physical discomfort.

Everything scattered into pieces. The belief I had of the eternal love faded away making me aware of the cruel world. I wanted to scream, why.

WHY? !

Out of everyone, the closet person, my beloved father scattered the perception of the world I had envisioned. I had been little to no aware of this cruel world; he had made me believe in the fairy tale where the princesses would be swept off her feet by her prince charming and they would live off happily along with their children.

Thinking about that story, it felt absurd how he would made me believe in the sweet ending, did the exact opposite of what he had made me dreamt of.

Was it a lie from the very beginning?

He had been cheating on us the whole time?!

A bile raise on my mouth suring the urge to vomit the gut out and the disgusting scene flashed on my eyes making me suffocated.

"Ahh.." I bite on my lips to muffle the sound preventing the drive from hearing it but he had sharp ears.

"Mam, I will take you to the hospital." He informed staring at me through the rareview mirror and I had felt his gaze on me the whole while since he had drove the car.

"No. I want to go home." I frantically shook my head in denial and paused after saying the last word.

"Please." I added looking down at my clenched fist.

Home.

He was always at home whenever I needed him. At our home where mom, me, Zenon and he lived like a happy family. But it turned out he was not happy.

Never.

All the smiles he had shown were fake. The love he had shown for mom was the play he had portrayed.

"Hahhha..." A sardonic laughter escaped my lips sounding out of the place and the driver stopped the car with a sudden brake.

"Mam, are you okay?" He asked sounding concerned making me calm down.

"Yeah, continue driving." I said wiping up the tears off my cheeks with the back of my hand and after staring at for a few seconds he resumed driving.

A mere play which blindsided us as he was so damn engrossed in sucking other woman's lips.

Eww...

I shuddered with a look of distaste.

How could he do this to us?

How could he betray mom?!

How?!

Did he not feel an ounce of guilt when he embrace another woman?

Did he not think about his pumpkin?!

Oh! Dad, what have you done?

Words couldn't describe how terrible I was feeling at the moment. I had never thought that I would have this day. Closing my eyes, I tried to calm my burning rage but it didn't help rather make me anxious.

"Mam, we are here." The driver's voice entered my ears and the cool breeze enters as he opened the car's door for me.

Avoiding eye contact with him, I get off the car and entered inside the house where I had been living for a few months now looking lifeless. Thanks to my luck, I didn't encountered any living beings near my vicinity saving me from being embarrassed.

If Egor saw me in that state then he would surely laughed at my poor state. And its better that he was out of my sight.

I let my feet lead me towards my destination with lots of emotions bubbling inside me and at some point I stumbled upon my feet and somehow one of my round earrings fell down making a clank sound gaining my attention and I saw it roll inside the closed door.

Panic surge inside me as that was my grandmother's heirloom. Hurriedly I pushed the door open which miraculously wasn't locked and  pressing on the side I turned on the light illuminating the room.

My mind was on the earring that I didn't bother to look around the room and the gold earning shine getting my attention. I walked forward and bend down as I reached the place where it was laying down on the ground then pick it up.

A sigh escaped my lips as I squeezed it and a blue box caught my attention. I was ignorant of everything around me but that mystic box held me captive. I paused staring at it and my hands itches to open it.

It piqued my interest that my legs remain rooted to the same place and I took off its cover let it fall at the side. A stuffed toy came into my view along with a cute princess dress. Sucking in a deep breath I closed the cover without bothering to explore and walked my way towards my room. 

I looked calm from outside but various thoughts plague my mind making my brain go haywire. My fragile heart couldn't bear it and my body collapsed on the floor.
