I Love My Family But They Abandoned Me
Embarrassed
Narrator
As soon as they walked out into the hallway, Diana looked around to see if there was anyone there. Seeing it was empty, she shook off Leticia’s hand and threw Leticia’s gift back to her.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Next time, don’t do this to me. Who asked you for it?
Narrator
Her sharp tone naturally made Leticia unable to answer. It was a meaningful gift that she had chosen herself, but she didn’t expect Diana to hate it so much.
Leticia Leroy
But it’s your birthday and I wanted to give you a present.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Then give me the right one.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Who gives something like this these days?
Narrator
The moment Diana saw the gift that Leticia had given her, she was so embarrassed that she even felt the urge to throw it away on the spot.
Narrator
However, she had no choice but to endure it because of the stares of those around her. Eventually, thinking that she couldn’t go on like this, Diana spoke about what she was holding back.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Don’t come to my birthday party next time.
Narrator
Leticia’s blue eyes widened as she looked at Diana. Diana’s expression didn’t change, as if she didn’t say anything wrong. Leticia grabbed the gift tightly in her hand and said,
Leticia Leroy
I’m your sister. I’m your family. But you don’t want me to celebrate your birthday?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Yes.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Family?
Narrator
Diana laughed as if she was listening to a funny story. At first, she didn’t doubt that one day Leticia’s ability would be awakened.
Narrator
She was a kind and proud sister who took care of her siblings more than herself, even during the times when the family’s financial situation was tough.
Narrator
But as time went by, Leticia’s ability was nowhere to be seen, and people’s buzzing only increased.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Don’t you shame the family enough?
Leticia Leroy
What do you mean?
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Are you asking because you really don’t know?
Narrator
How could she not know? The look in Diana’s eyes said as much.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
You don’t have the ability, haven’t you noticed? I’m very anxious to get stuck here and there somehow…
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
I feel sorry just looking at you. No, I’m embarrassed.
Narrator
With that, Diana passed by with a pat on Leticia’s shoulder. Leticia looked down at her present. It was a brooch that she had prepared months in advance for Diana’s birthday. But it got thrown away, and came back to her.
Leticia Leroy
It’s embarrassing…
Narrator
It was a fact she already knew. But when she was asked directly, it felt different.
Narrator
She nodded her head helplessly in misery and wretchedness.
Diana [Leticia's second sister]
Yes.
Narrator
Leticia bit her lip tightly to swallow her tears. But she couldn’t bear feeling this small and useless.
