Parker

I opened the crimson colored diary, on which Ashley was carved with white color.

18th May 2009

Today ish mi bithrday, and papa gifted me this veautiful dairy, from today, I will wirte everythng in this.

I giggled reading that. Ash wrote first text in this diary when she was 4 years old. She was so excited when she got this diary as her birthday gift from Dad. As a 4 year old, her writing was so childish that it couldn't even be read. I still remember how she had pronunciation problems when she was a child.

2nd December 2010

Today, A boy came to our house, his name If I remember correctly, is Parker, he had blue eyes, and his hair were messy, but also smooth, I have seen him in my school and sometimes in my home when he used to come with his Grandpa. He looks elder than me, I don't know how much, but looks like his Grandpa and my Grandpa are besties. Before today they always seem to be happy when they used to chat with each other but today, he came alone. He looked sad, I couldn't hear about anything else because Papa sent me inside my room, but before leaving I heard something like his Grandpa died and he is going to live with us from now on.

That was me.

I still remember, my world crumbled that day... I lost everything I had.

A boy... who was just 8 years old lost his only family member, his Grandpa.

I have already lost my Dad in an accident when I was 2, and my mother when I was 3 by a disease unknown. Grandpa said that It was an infectious disease whose treatment wasn't found at that time.

I still had my Grandpa, but on 2nd December... I lost him too. My relatives were all selfish, wanted to take me in only for the possessions my Grandpa had left behind. Because my Grandpa and Ash's Grandpa were childhood friends, and he promised to take care of me, I was adopted by Ash's parents but without changing my last name, which was Davis.

From that day onwards, I, Parker Davis had a new family, my parents, who loved me like my own parents have done If they were alive.

28th January 2014

Today, Grandpa did mine and Park's engagement. I didn't even knew how to pronounce that word, but Park taught me. I didn't knew the meaning of this engagement, but Grandpa told me that If I do this thing with Parker, he will never leave me. And now I am so happpppppppyyyyyyyyyy. I am thinking of doing this with Mama, Papa and Grandpa, so that they will also never leave me. HEHE:3

Our Engagement, which was arranged by Grandpa when I was 12 and Ash was 9. I was 12, I knew what engagement was. But didn't knew any further. The only thing I knew was that Ash as just 9 years old, It was too young for her to be engaged but I didn't said anything because I thought If elders have made this decision, then they must have thought something good for both of us. I still remember how Ash didn't even knew the meaning of Engagement. That day, she said...

"Mama, papa, what is anjajement?" Mom and dad didn't knew what to say because they both were against this engagement. I said correcting her, "Ash, that's engagement. Not anjajement." "Yes, Yes, that was what I was saying Anjagement." I again said correcting her, "That's Engagement, Ash. Here, Pronounce after me. 'En-ga-ge-me-nt'" And she did pronounced It correctly. "En-ga-ge-me-nt". I patted her head as I-am-proud gesture. "My Ash is very intelligent." She giggled and then asked again, "Tell me, what's the meaning of en-ga-ge-me-nt?" Grandpa interrupted and said, "It means, that you both are tied with each other now. Both of you can't leave each other." After hearing this, Ash giggled with joy and asked everybody to do engagement with her.

And now that I think about that engagement, I just want to undo it. Because that is the reason my Ash is not with me now.

Only If I had stopped that day, Only if i had denied that day... Only If my Grandpa didn't made that promise with Ash's Grandpa... I had my Ash with me now.
