There she was, a kind hearted girl with a smile plastered on her face.
She wasn't aware of the things that may take away her smile.One moment in her life she was happy. She treasure every moment with the people she love. Little did she knew that her happiness is only temporary.
"Aciel, ready your bags we're going to leave this house right now!"
"But Mom, where are we going it's midnight already."
"No more buts Aciela! Just do what I said."
She then walk away and packed her things not knowingly that it will be the start of what she fear the most. As she walked down the stairs, she heard loud voices coming from her Parent's room.
" You are not going away anywhere Elycielle! NO ONE WILL LEAVE THIS HOUSE!"
" I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU. HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP CHEATING ON ME. I ALREADY FORGIVEN YOU THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU WITH THAT WOMAN AND NOW WHAT? YOU'RE GOING TO CHOOSE HER INSTEAD OF US?!"
She wasn't aware of what is happening with her surrounding, but one thing is for sure she's crying because of it. Pain, that's what she felt, she didn't know what to do, she cried but it wasn't enough to stop the things from happening.
All she knew was, her mother grab her hands and pulled her outside the house. All there's left is a banging sound of the door that closed. That moment she forgotten the genuine smile she have when they were still what you called a Family.

Aciel's POV:
As soon as I woke up after that night, I know something has change inside me.
Pinilit kong ngumiti pero hindi ko na magawa. Nabago lahat ng pananaw ko ng masira ang dating masaya naming pamilya. Bakit mas pinili niya ang iba kaysa sa amin ni Mom. Ganoon na lang ba talaga kami kawalang importansya para sa kanya.
Hindi ko namalayan na tumulo na naman muli ang aking mga luha.
I thought sa mga teleserye at drama lang nangyayari ang ganito ngunit di ko inaasahan na mararanasan ko rin ang mga bagay na napapanood ko lamang sa TV noong bata ako.
Tumatakbo lang noon sa aking isipan kung ano nga ba ang pakiramdam ng mga taong hindi kumpleto ang pamilya at kung paano nila nakayanang bumangon sa sobrang kalungkutan.
Ngunit ngayon nasagot na ang katanungan na noo'y bumabagabag lang sa aking isipan.
Clearly it just brought me a lot of pain and questions. The very first heartbreak that I get from my own Father that caused so me much pain which is totally worst than a break up. Questions that are left unspoken.
How can I live my life now when the things I felt so far breaks the reality through me.
