I went to the dining room only to see grandma on the chair next to mine and mom was sitting next to Antonio who was sitting opposite our row and the rest were scattered. I sat down politely then the chef winked at me and I smiled in return. This is it!
"Oh hi grandma," I said, "You look great tonight, is there something going on?"
"We have a visitor Anna," she replied then I looked at Antonio
"You're gonna pay." I whispered
----------------
When the dessert arrived, my heart beat became faster, but I calmed it by breathing heavily. My dessert was given and so was the others'. I started eating my dessert slowly, of course, do I want to choke because of that ring? While Antonio watched mom eat. When I saw the ring, I quickly put it in my mouth.
"Ow!" I yelled, catching the attention of everyone else
"Anna what's wrong?" Mom asked then I put at hand on my left cheek
"I think I broke my tooth." I replied, no seriously, I think I broke my tooth. It really hurts.
I pulled out the ring from my mouth then mom looked at it with amazement and Antonio and grandma's faces showed shock.
"Who put this ring in here?" I asked, rather angry
"Chelsea." My grandma called the chef
Uh-oh, I think she's gonna get fired.
"Why is there a ring in Anna's dessert?" Grandma asked
It's official, I lost a tooth. Antonio took the ring from me then wiped it with a tissue. No, no, no no no. He stood up, kneeled on one knee, then held mom's hand.
"Isabella, the first time I saw you was mere months ago but I fell in love with you so quickly. I was so lucky even before I met you, but I'd be luckier if you be my wife." He said
"Please say no, please say no, please say no." I whispered with many fingers crossed
"I, um," mom said, "o-okay."
"No!" I yelled, catching everyone's attention once more
"What's wrong mi hija?" Grandma asked
"Mom why did you agree?" I asked as tears start rolling down my eyes, "There's a lot of guys out there, why him? Couldn't you just for once understand why I always kick guys out of your life? I want to find a father. I don't care if he's not my real father, all I want is a father who'll really love me, not some guy we found in the market! Why can't you understand what I'm looking for in the past eight years? I wish you just left me in the hospital when I was hit by a truck, at least there I'd be loved, here? I can't find any love from all you people. Our chef actually cares for me than all of you! And grandma, you always scold me when I don't talk properly to Antonio. Well, where were you when I was in need of comfort for the past ten years? And even more, where were you when I grew up? All of you people never really knew why I'm like this. And you!" I said as I pointed at Antonio, "I couldn't even dare to look at you! You're tearing my family apart! You're tearing my and my mom apart! You never understood me! All of you! I've been here for more than a month! And nobody actually knew me! Not even my whole name! You even forgot my birthday! But the person whom I met and stayed with for three days, threw a party, even though he knows that I'm not there. What a shame! I have a family like this?" I paused for a minute then continued, "Just give me my allowance so I can buy a plane ticket. Then you can all forget about me and relive your lives." I finished then ran back to my room, "No one follow me!"
I locked my bedroom door, opened my computer then chatted with dad but I stopped crying first.
"Hey dad." I greeted
"Hey Anna, what's up?" He asked, I shrugged.
"Dad, have you ever comforted someone through video chatting?" I asked
"Yeah," he replied, "My pen pal when I was ten."
"Great, could you do it again?" I asked
"I guess so, to who?" He asked them tears started to stroll down on my face again
"Me." I cried
