The Day my world fell apart

7 years ago...........

I was eleven years old at that time – the day my world fell apart.

...----------------...

"Would mom like the flower crown I made?" I asked to my friend.

"Of course! she would like anything you give her anyway" My friend assured me.

"I hope you're right!" I smiled.

I ran excitedly to our house.

will my mom compliment me?

My family are commoners but I lived pretty happy.

there was no hardship in my life. I thought everything will be alright.

even though we're not rich I thought I have all kinds of treasure in the world as long as I can see my mother's smile.

I was pampered as the 'only child'

I have a brother. but my brother committed a crime so he was put behind bars.

time passed, it seemed like my parents didn't cared.

im happy because they pamper me but at the same time I'm sad because my only brother, was ignored.

"I wish, My parents would pamper my brother too! and so, I will have the chance to see their smiling faces" I always say to myself.

the door creaked as I opened it.

Our house wasn't that big but it is pretty decent.

"Mo-" Before I could call out my mother's name, I hear my parents argue.

"Please think about our daughter" My dad pleaded.

"our daughter, I- I loved her. to the point I'm willing to give up my life for her! And...... Danger has come to my daughter. What should I do? I'll have to follow their orders" My mom said in a low voice.

'Why? why is mom having a very sad expression? smile please!' I said to myself.

I could see tears on her eyes.

I want to cry myself despite not being able to understand what was happening.

"Shane, please dont..... if you leave me, There will be nothing left in me" My dad continued to cry

my parents wept.

I was so sad.

"is it my fault that mom and dad is crying?" I whispered to myself.

"Isaac, please let me do this. for the sake of our daughter" My mom begged.

"daughter this daughter that! why do you keep hurting yourself for our daughter? it's just a daughter we could make another one!" My dad shouted.

I was stunned.

A slap came right onto my dad's face.

mom was crying.

"I'm sorry Shane, I was quite confused at the moment. I didn't realize what I was doing" My dad apologized to my mom and turned his eyes away.

Mom kept crying. She couldn't stop her tears.

'I wish I could take all those tears away' I thought to myself.

'Has mom and dad ever fought like this before?' I asked to myself. knowing that they never did fought in front of me.

"My life..... is for our daughter. I ignored my first son in order to protect him. I could do anything to protect him of course also my daughter" my mom smiled while wiping away her tears.

"So-"

My mom picked up a dagger and pointed it on her neck.

"Shane!"

"Please let me go" My mom smiled and tears fell from her eyes.

I ran like crazy.

this couldn't be happening.

"Mom!" I hurried.

"A- Adelle?" My mom shaked. She dropped her dagger by accident.

"Look, I made a flower crown for you!" I was crying.

Im smiling while crying.

I'm just a kid, and it's too painful for me to see my mother crying.

I'm too innocent but despite that, I know what my mother was trying to do right now

"Mom please! please dont do it" I begged. I was crying.

But mom pushed me and blocked my eyes.

before dad could even take the dagger, She took it and slit her throat.

blood spilled.

I was stunned.

the horrifying scene that I saw with my innocent eyes.

The blood was nothing scary compared to my mom's dead-fish eyes.

"Shane- no! no! Shane wake up!" My dad burst out crying. he was very sad. The pain and grief he felt when he saw my mom die in front of him.

it was too painful for me.

however, I stood up.

I looked around.

"please help! please call the doctors! my mom! she is dying!" I Screamed and screamed. Until dawn, my throat hurts so much but I still begged for help. I know I was too late.

the people ignored me. the people just turned their heads away from me.

'They have their own problems too. I shouldnt blame them' I told myself a hundred times.

I returned back home hopeless.

I saw my dad still grieving over my mom's dead body.

"Shane, If you'll leave then, take me with you" My dad picked up the dagger and stabbed himself too.

I was shocked.

stunned.

I was like a frozen statue.

I fell into my knees, hopeless.
