One Moment In Time

          Life is full of problems that many people struggle on a certain thing all the time and can’t even find a solution to their problem. Whether it’s the one they love, they always see and the one who is part of them everyday.

Ever thinking about the things that we want on our lives and family? A complete and happy family, that’s what every child wants. To have a family that they can lean on, can tell on and can be loved on.

Living in this world really has a problem. I don’t know if it’s within ourselves that it is not to do or the people that we surround in our environment that decides our life and what our future may be made in their hands?

Sitting at the seashore gives a peaceful and relaxing day. I looked at the sunset far away from where I am looking at it. The waves are calling me as if it wants me to join them at the sea. I glance at my side and saw a young boy at my age. He’s sitting by the shore also admiring the beautiful sunset. I stand and go towards him and sit besides him. He just looked at me with a serious face he had.

“Hi, What are you doing here?” I break the silence. He just played with the sand and checked the time at his watch.

“You’re an introvert?” I asked him. He glance at me and looked at my face. I was shocked by the way he looked like he was examining my face.

“I’m just— not that close to people.” He coldly replied and turn he’s back at me and then walks away.
“Hey, wait!” I stopped him, he then stopped walking and slowly turned at me.

“If you want someone to talk to I’m just here!” I happily replied. Then he turned his back and started to walk again. I Shrugged and get back at my place.
I didn’t feel like going back to my place because—

*glass shattered*

As I was heading at the main door, I saw some brokered glass at the floor and stains of blood. Trembling in fear, my mother begging on the floor on my father that his eyes are full of hatred and death. Seeing them in this kind of situation made me want to die and disappeared.

“Alfonso, I’m s-sorry… please forgive me!” Mom begs and looked down. Dad didn’t move a muscle and just angrily stared at mom who was bleeding in pain on her hands.

Mom reached out to Dad’s hand but he just stared it. He looked in my direction and then walked away and went up to the staircase.

“Mom, are you alright?” I worriedly asked as I was walking towards her and wiped the blood on her hands.

“Don’t worry yanni, it’s just a scratch.” Mom replied and gathered the Shattered vase.

“Go to your room, I can handle this mess” mom said and walked away. I ordered the maids to clean the stains of blood and went up.

I Stared a minute at my ceiling and I didn’t notice my tears to slowly pours down. I wipe it and hugged my stuffed animal that I Cherish.

Thinking of what happened made me realize that they aren’t meant for each other. If I had not been born they’re not fighting. Why am I even born? Why did they even made me? Out of business?

I gazed at the window when the wind opened it. I walked and was going to close it when I saw the boy earlier at the next door. He glance at my direction and wave at him. He hurriedly closed his window and I just pouted and closed my window then went back to my bed.

He's a snobber and a loner. I wonder if he just moved in this neighborhood.
I didn’t think to much and I just sleep this Sleepless night that many happened today. I hope that this can stop and be just a happy family like we used to.

(The Next Day)

When I woke up at the morning the light of the sun hit directly to my face. I slowly opened my eyes and some maid are cleaning my room. I grab my phone and saw the time. It’s already 8: 30 in the morning so I got up and go straight to shower. When I finished showering I headed back to my room and the maid was still there.

“Excuse me yaya,  did you see mom go to work? “ I asked her. She stopped arranging the books and turned to me.

“No ma’am, I didn’t see madam head at work but I saw sir heading out without breakfast.” she replied and finished putting back the books and go out.
I finished clothing myself and went to mom’s room.
