Me and my parents were walking hand in hand through the park while the sun shone brightly. People where looking at me adoringly. Well can't blame them as I have mixed features of my mum who is an American and my dad who is an Indian. They both fell in love when they were in University and married right after grad as my dad could not wait more. I was born to them after 3 years and I was their only child since they did not want any more. I had my mum's eyes which were deep, azure blue like the ocean on a summer day. My hair followed my dad as they were thickly plaited curly hair.
"Mummy, look! I'm the queen of the jungle!" Amaira shouted as she stood on top of the tallest pillar on the playground. "ROAR!"
Lucy, my mother, regarded me with a puzzled and worried expression. "Get down from there, Amaira, my sweetheart. You could injure yourself if you fall."
"I won't fall, Mummy!" I said confidently. "I'm the queen of the jungle! I can do anything!"
Raj, smiled at me. "Let her be, Lucy," he said. "She's just a child. Let her have her fun. And even if she does fall, she'll learn to stand up by herself."
Lucy sighed. "Fine," she said. "But be careful, Amaira."
The scenery changed into dark clouds s alluring in the sky with rain droplets falling. I quickly came down to go back home only to witness my parents not where they were.
"Mommy, where are you? Dad, I can't see you?" I called out, my lips wobbling with tears threatening to fall. "Mom, please come back, I'm scared!"
But there was no reply. I walked further into the area where there were trees surrounded. "Mummy, Dad, are you there?" I called out again.
No reply came, but I heard a painful scream and shouts from the other side of the area I was standing. Being a curious child, I went towards there but only to witness the horrific scene.
My dad was laid down with a pool filled with blood while my mum was witnessing it all with tears streaming down her eyes like a river.
"Please leave us, we wanted nothing to do with you! That is why we left. Please let us go. Please!" Mum pleaded with the shadowed man.
"Lucy, you could have chose me and experience the lavish life but you didn't and chose him. Now see, what happened to him. And now since you witnessed it I will also have to finish your story." The man with a mask said horridly.
"NOO, PLEASE LEAVE US WE HAVE A CHILD. SHE HAS NO ONE IF WE GO. PLEASE LET US GO AND WE PROMISE WE WON'T SAY ANYTHING PLEASE." Mum begged the man profusely.
"Tch..tch no my dear I wont let witnesses go and as for your child I dont care what happens to her. Coz now no one will come here to save you or your child. Be ready to say goodbye!" And with that he shot my mum three times in the chest.
