‍Trees are there to provide oxygen for people. Trees are very important. But people keep on underestimating those trees. Xerine Delgado hated that reality.

It was the year 1996 when a cute girl was born. She's a vivid picture of a girl who loves nature. She cares for trees and animals. Her lovely smile can be seen every time that she's in the garden and helping her mom with watering the vegetables.

"My Xerine, you're looking at those flowers again." A woman in her early thirties wearing a white shirt and white skirt approached a girl sitting in front of the flowers.

"Mom, they look so beautiful. Always beautiful." The girl named Xerine smiled like her happiness only depended on how beautiful the flowers were.

"Baby, you should eat breakfast first." Xerine's mother sat beside her. "The flowers will get sad if you aren't going to eat first."

Xerine hesitantly looked at her own mother. She's just a child. A mere child who loves to watch flowers grow. But there is a resemblance of pain and sadness in her eyes.

"Daddy's home, isn't he?" Her voice almost rattle.

"Yes." Her mom forced a smile. "Your Daddy's a good man. Don't be scared."

Just then, a man walked out of the door. "Carina, I thought we were going to eat breakfast already?! I still have a meeting to attend on. You're going to make me late!"

"He is scary," Xerine mumbled.

Her mother stood up and approached her father. "Don't shout, please. You're scaring our daughter."

Xerine was shocked when she saw how her father slapped her mother. She thought that parents should love each other, but she couldn't see it in her parents.

"Shut the fuck up and don't tell me what to do, Carina! I'm already too sick and tired of your shits!"

In front of the young, innocent, and sweet face of Xerine, she saw how her father punched and kicked her mother. She was stunned. Just sitting there. Hearing her mother groan in pain.Her father stopped for a moment and went inside the house. Xerine was about to help her mother but what she saw next changed her life.

A roaring chainsaw. That's what her father is holding. He started slicing his own wife using the chainsaw.

Blood splattered around the beautiful garden. Flowers were stained with fresh flesh. Xerine saw how her mother's internal organs went out of her body because of the pressure and impact. It was too gross to watch, too gruesome to see.

The young Xerine was still shocked until nighttime arrived. She just listened to the sound of the way her father buries her mother in the backyard.

Everything that she saw and heard that day was installed on her young mind like it was just a simple thing. She thought that her mother was a high-grade fertilizer so her father did that.

But what if she tried applying that normality too once she grew up?

What will Xerine Delgado gonna do?
