After the accident, I was sent to an orphanage. I remember being that kid who does not interact much, I sat alone in the corner and ate when it's time. There was a lady that works there, she would always come by and talk to me. One day I hear, "are you okay?" and the next day "how are you doing?" Just day by day, our conversation got longer. She introduced me to the other kids that she was taking care of, and we all became close friends.

When I was 12, someone visited the orphanage. She came to visit us, and each time she visited, she brought food. I remember me and the kids were so excited and were so fond of her. She was nice and read books to us too.

By chance, she saw me sitting alone and came over.

"Are you Luna?" she squatted down.
"How do you know me?" I looked up.
"Of course I know you, you are one of the kids that I love," she smiled.
"You love?" I spoke with a low tone.
"Well, everyone who is special, I love all of them," she pats my head.
"Thank you for knowing me, I haven't heard this in a long time," I smiled.

I think it has been a while since I smile, not a smile of excitement or happiness,  this smile is different. It was sad yet relief at the same time. I didn't forget about this emotion after all. It's just that I wasn't able to find my way back to this emotion, but thanks to her, I feel special for once.

The lady that made me feel special for once was my adopted mother, Sarah. We grew closer and closer the next time we met after that day. She was always there for me when I needed her, I told her about what happened that night and I noticed that she cares for me more than anything. After a few weeks, she adopted me and took me to Aunt Ava's house, which is where she also lives.

As the car parked in front of the house, it was an amazing sight.
"Wow" I was amazed.
"Luna, this will be your new home. When you come in, make sure you greet Aunt Ava. She's my closest friend, I also told her a lot about you and she seems excited to see you. I hope you will get along with her," my mom exited the car.

I walked in and I was welcomed by the workers in the house, a strange-looking boy crossing his hands and a lady who seems like Aunt Ava.

"Welcome my dear, I'm Aunt Ava. I heard a lot about you, you seem so sweet. Luna, right?" she hugged me.
"Hi, I also heard about you too. Thank you for welcoming me," I smiled.

"So yeah, this is my daughter, Luna. I hope you all will take good care of her. Also..." she ordered the workers, "make sure to complete the registration papers for her school soon." She looked at me sweetly.

"Oh yeah, Luna," Aunt Ava pulled this boy over, "this is my son, Aaron. You two seem about the same age, it would be nice if you get to know each other."
"Hi" I waved at him.
"You're done introducing me right? So I have no reason to be here anymore," he told his mom and went back to his room.
"Oh, sorry dear, he's always like that. I will talk to him, please don't take it seriously," Aunt Ava feels sorry and is looking like she's ready to throw educating verses at him the next time they talk.

I don't know what was that earlier, but that boy kinda ruined the whole mood. There's nothing that I could do about it. After the welcoming, my mom showed me my room and gave me a house tour. Everything was just so beautiful and I don't really know if I deserved to be in this place.

"Here at the table, I got Aaron's favorite food and Luna's favorite food. Eat a lot!" Aunt Ava pointed at the dishes.
"Thank you for the meal," I started eating.
