Road To Forever

Chapter 2- New Beginnings

James
Nori, Christine and I lived in a big house in the city. It was a very nice house, Nori loved her room. She placed pictures with her best friend, Inigo. They would always talk to each other every night before going to sleep. Also, Nori would listen to the tape record theh recorded when we were still near the waters. When Nori did not have school yet, she would always spend time with her step-mom, Christine. Nori also finally learned how to call Christine as her mother, "Mommy". She couldn't call her "Mama" even if Christine wanted to be called "Mama" because she said that she called her real mom "Mama" and that will always stay in her heart. How genuine and sweet she called her mother, "Mama". Christine and Nori would also always go shopping. I gave Christine money to spend so they could buy new clothes for our New Beginning. When I found a good school for Nori to study, made her take the entrance exam. Unfortunately, only Nori passed! I was jumping for joy since it was a very good school and out of 500 students who took the exam she got a perfect score and she was the only one who passed. When it was already the 2nd semester, Nori was still Top 1 in their class. I got home one evening, Christine's children from a poor man, Juan, was at home. Christine asked of they could stay. They were pretty kind. The eldest was Yuri, her daughter and her son, Uno. During summer, Yuri and Nori had fights. I saw that Yuri was a little jealous of Nori's dresses. Yuri always copied what Nori would buy or even wear. They were like twins but they were not. Uno on the other hand would always lock himself inside his room and paint. He was a very good artist. But, I didn't really know them very well. These days, I always heared Christine shouting and scolding someone but I was not really sure who she was scolding. I never intended to ask. I was scared to. She might scold me as well.

James, Nori and I moved to a very beautiful house in they city. Every evening or afternoon, Nori and I would always go shopping and spend moments together. But when my Yuri and Uno came, she changed. I always scolded her. She became very bad to my daughter. They would always pull each other's hair and slap each other's faces. I loved my Yuri more than Uno. I loved Yuri more than Nori. I shouted every night until I lost my voice. Nori is such a pain.

Nori
When we moved to the city, I was happy but also missed my best friend and the house where I spent memories with Mama. I haven't changed the dolls' clothes for a while. I wonder how they are. I miss he melody of "Stairway to Heaven" where Inigo's fingers would rapidly move. I also missed playing Frizbee and throwing mud on my best friend even though I talk to him everyday. Oh, and I also got in my new school, Eng Tok Hee International School. I got Top 1 in all quarters, I made Papa very proud. Mommy and I spent memories together but when Yuri and Uno came, it was different. Yuri was amazed with my clothes. I told her that she could wear them whenever she wanted. They also loved crab! Uno was very quiet. He was a very good artist. When Inigo sent me a beautiful dress, Yuri loved it. I was supposed to wear it to school but when i woke up the next morning it was gone. When we ate breakfast, Yuri was wearing it. I told Yuri that she didn't ask permission and I will wear it to school that day. Yuri took it off in my room but she intentionally poured ink on it. I was very disappointed that I slapped her face. Mommy got mad at me she also slapped my face while Yuri pulled my hair. Mommy loved Yuri so much that she would always protect her daughter even if she was doing wrong already. Stay strong, Nori, I said to myself.
