After seeing the sunset which took almost another hour till the my sun was set, a silent hour, I stood up and said bye ti Regan as I walked back to the house.

I saw few people sitting around the dinner table and they were talking when I come in. They all kept quiet when they saw me.  I walked past them without saying a word because I didn't want any scene adding up to the way I was already feeling low and confused. The only thing I wanted was to be left alone.

" Come join us Pinky. Even supper is almost served," Robert said as he broke the silence.

" Umm... thanks Robert. Guys go ahead and have your supper am not hungry."

I went on towards the staircase as I was about to go when Sophia come over to me and stopped me, "Why are you pulling that face. Stoo being stubborn and come eat with us. Your mommy and daddy aren't here to pumper you so come join us." She said while laughing thinking she was funny not knowing the effect her words had on me as an addition of the way I was already feeling.

She stopped laughing when she realized she was laughing alone in the house. She looked back at everyone else who were all wearing serious faces and they motioned her to look at me. When she turned around and stare at me, her mouth dropped in shock. I had the world's most amazingly serious face. My eyes fixed on her face and not even blinking and my hands closed over my chest as I stared at her. She shivered a bit and started speaking.

" Am so..so..sorry if I..."

" So what do you think of yourself huh? Didn't you hear it when I said to Robert that I wasn't hungry? Or wait...just a minute...are you my stomach that feels hungry despite my refusal." I snapped back at her and she was just blinking rapidly as she didn't see this coming towards her.

After collecting herself she started speaking, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I thought I would just joke around and cheer you up but..."

" Oh wow!" I shouted as I clapped my hands. " What a joke! See everyone is trying to catch their breathes from laughing at your joke. Pathetic joke my foot. So will you mind explaining how my parents come into your joke bitch!"

" You call me bitch! What the hell is wrong with you Pinky? This is really not you. You are..."

" So you know me better than I know myself huh? You want to know what's wrong with me? Can you handle it? Ok then lemme tell you. If anyone dears to talk about my parents in their absence whether good of my bad, then I can rip off their skins. I can handle anything but not the mention of them in such a pathetic joke. Hear that?"

" Oh so how special are they that they shouldn't even been mentioned? Stop giving us attitude lady. You are nothing but a spoilt brat."

I took some step towards her and she started shivering just from my look on her. "Yes indeed am a brat. You aren't the first person to discover that so no one's going to shout your name baby of a bitch. So you want to know about my parents? They are the humans that suffered to almost death to make sure I am alive today. My parents, I'll tell you a short story. When I was six, I went to the pack with my nanny and I wanted ice cream. The ice cream vender didn't have a chocolate ice cream there so I refused to have any other flavor and we went back home as I was very sad. On reaching at home, the nanny told ny parents about the ice cream and my dad asked for the company name the ice cream vender was coming from. He called his detective and asked him to get the owner's phone number in just fifteen minutes. He then called the owner and offered him money double the worth of the ice cream company such that the owner couldn't even say no. So my dad bought it the same night and chocolate ice cream was brought home for me. The following day the company was changed to "Pinky Ice Cream and Desserts Company". Then you are standing here asking me who are my parents? How dear you?" I asked her as she just started back with no answer as if cat cought her tongue.

" Guys that's enough for today. It's already night and we want to have a peaceful night. Pinky get a grip on yourself and stop this." Ariya said.

" I was just passing by without a word coz I was avoiding these dramas knowing my condition and that I always loose my mind in such state. But no you thought it was a good idea to talk to me and invite me for supper. I declined Robert's offer but she here it would be great to pass a crazy joke."

" It's ok we understand you. Just go and get some rest in your room. Your food wilk be in the fridge in case you'll be hungry later. We'll talk to you later tommorow. Good night." Mohan said in such a loving and caring tone.

" Good night Pinky" everyone present in the room said their wishes to me as I walked to the staircase off to my room. But before I went on, I looked at Sophia who was having different set of emotions on her face. Ranging from disbelieve, shocked, worried, disappointed, embarrassed....and others that I didn't care to such for them as I was almost collapsing so I dashed to my room.

****************
I made sure to lock the room after I got in and then went to take a long hot shower. I stood in the shower as the warm water went down my skin caressing every muscle and loosening the nerves. I wrapped the towel around myself and brushed my teeth as I go to the closet to find a sleeping gown. After I found it, I dressed up quickly and rushed to the bed. I threw my body as I laid on my stomach. I hugged the pillow and cried my heart out. I thought of my parents and all they did for me. Then my brother who is as good as a robot living with no emotions. I wondered where that loving and cheerful him was all this time and even cried loudest since I felt like my throat was swelling when I thought whether I'll ever witness the cheerful and crazy big bro I had before what happened to us and he decided to leave for South Africa. I kept crying as looked at the photos I had with him and my family and couldn't stop myself.

In all the crying I didn't even know when I started dozing off.
