The Gap Between Us

Chapter 40

Years ago...

We arrived at the Philippines from Germany and I was just fifteen years old that time. We lived in Germany for almost fifteen years so I could separate with my devil and psychopath sister because since I was born she only wants my parents attention face to her so she tried to kill me many times. Everytime I sleep she tries to cover my face with pillow and she's always making bruises into my body by beating me up.

My dad wanted to bring her to mental hospital but my mom doesn't want to bring her to the hospital because mom loves her so much even though she's a crazy psychopath because of that, dad decides to give me to my grandparents to the Germany and that's when she stops hurting me.

But this time we came back to the Philippines.

My grandparents said we're going to go to the nearest flower shop and seeds to buy seeds because they're planning to plant some flowers to our garden.

"Louise, don't go too far okay? we're just going to buy some seeds and here buy everything you want here." my grandma said lending me a thousands money. I put it into my dress's pocket and I got bored so I roamed my eyes into this flower shop. It's not that huge and it's not too small, it has a cozy design and there's a lot of costumers here. I stood up from sitting from the sofa and goes to the tulips section and brought one of it into the cashier.

"How much is this?" I asked the cashier then I was shocked because the cashier is blushing at me and I assumed that she has the same age as me.

Gay.

"O-one hundred pesos for one tulips m-miss." I gave her one thousand and I told her to keep the change then she thanked me. I only looked at the tulips and wanted to give this for my grandmother but she's so matagal so I looked for someone to give this and planned of running away and then I saw a kid that caught my attention that is just sitting at a chair near at me and eating her chocolate ice cream that's why I stood up and gave her the tulips and ran away.

Little did i know that she's girl i wanted to get married with.

...

A years passed and my grandparents died because of a car accident and everything felt so heavy. My life became miserable. I didn't go out into my room for almost three days without food and water and my parents decided to take me into their house. I don't want to go their because I don't want to leave my grandparents house but I don't have any choice left only to accept the fact that my parents died. But it's hard for me because they're the one who raised me and they're the one who stood for me as a parents and they care for me so much. My heart aches when I remember them. I'll cry, cry, and cry when I remember a single things about them.

My parents did everything to make me feel comfortable with them and i'm just doing anything to accept the fact that my grandparents are gone. The day of they were already buried, a lawyer talked to us and they told me that everything that my lolo and lola have: their money, land, companies, and other properties are named after me because they knew that one day this will happened because lolo and lola has a lot of rivals to business and they already said that I'll be their future heir, the heir of the Vurtizé.

Lucky for me I didn't saw my sister again, my mom told me that they sent my sister to therapy in Britain that's why I didn't see my sister again. The time I was slowly moving on from my grandparents death my mom and dad went to a house not so near from ours.

"Where are we going mom?" I asked my mother besides me.

"We're going to see your tita Khristine and your tito Vincent, anak. You'll gonna love there and they have a beautiful daughter too, she can be your friend."
