The room is furnished with plush sofas and chairs, a coffee table, and a grand piano. The piano is open and has a bench in front of it. The room is decorated in a classic style with rich colours and patterns. Walking inside the same old room that I used to spend my time writing lyrics, and playing notes with the same  high ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and large windows.

Clock ticking that has been placed on the wall indicates that it is 1.30 am where I couldn't sleep. My thoughts are clouded with unbounded anger mixed with the agony that has been fighting inside me for 5 years

Tracing the intricate details on the piano cravings with I² that It's been embedded with gold. My papa has always been my no.1 fan and supporter. Early days we used to have an old piano that my grandmother used. I used to play them after finishing my music classes where my papa used to admire me. Taking videos and pictures of me and framing those pictures and adding them to the family album with a proud look. After releasing my first album my father bought this piano with my Initials carved. He never once failed to celebrate my success. Not even once.

A Blessing I was born with. My papa

Papa Sorry for not Being a good daughter for you . I'm lost. I don't know what to do?

My vision is clouded with tears that fall on the cravings . A hand on shoulder startled me. To my relief it's my Brother Dominic. He notices my tear stained face . I tried to wipe the tears but it's Dominic's hand that wipes my tears where new fresh tears fall on my face . His eyes softened and he hugs me . I stifle the sobs that are about to escape.

"What happened that made our princess cry?" He asks softly.
"I just missed you that's all" lies
"Liar"
"I'm not"
"It's about Akil  Right ?"
"How do you know?" my voice expresses shock
"The only time I see my sister crying is for Akil"
"I'm pathetic aren't I?"
"No you are just heartbroken and betrayed" 
"Today I saw him he is fine and happy where I am searching for the happiness"
"What did he say ?" His jaws clenched and eyes narrowed.
"I just ran away the moment I met him" lies Dom is silent , distant as if he is not here .
"Don't "
"Don't What?"
"Whatever you planning"
"I didn't plan anything"
"Liar" he chuckles but with the same distant look.
"How about a movie? I'm so bored" he asks just to cheer me up and probably divert my attention.
"Yes but tomorrow morning we have to meet grandpa"
"Oh yeah grans"
"He should hear you then you wouldn't live a day after it" I say with a laugh.

After 2 hours Nearly four am, we both departed. I enter my bedroom drifting to dreamland as soon as my body collapses on the mattress.
.
.
.
.
Sunlight beams that entered my bedroom woke me up, looking up at the clock which indicates that It's 6.30 .

Enough time to get ready .

Pairing up a polo sleeveless shirt with short pink pleated waist skirt with a hat to protect from sun. With a bottle of sunscreen in my bag I exit my room . Walking inside I noticed Seth's room is open. Walking straight through the door there is no sign of Seth or anyone else.  Closing the door as my memories relishing  those times . I can vividly see us arguing over his choice of movie . With Dom by our side not sure whom to support where I on other hand wants to see clichéd romance movies as per Seth words, Where Seth likes violence and action movies which I consider to be noise pollution creation. However Dom is the last choice of our argument where he comes up with movies that are either psycho thrillers or horrific ghost movies.
