Our Eternal Friendship
Chapter - 1
During Ariel's fourth birthday.
FL's mother
What the hell do you need? Move out of my way.
Ariel was pushed to the floor.
FL's mother
Can't you be quiet? Always shouting and crying. You're so annoying.
( Yelled )
Ariel
( Gets up and went to my room )
Ariel plopped on her bed.
She hugged her fluffy brown teddy bear.
Ariel
Mommy is always scolding me.
( Crying )
Ariel
Today is my birthday... If my dadda hadn't died, I will cut the cake and also make a wish...
Tears trickled down from her eyes. Her tiny hand wiped the tears. She closed her eyes still hiccuping and moaning.
And slowly, she drifted to sleep with her teddy bear close to her.
Ariel
( Opens eyes slowly )
Ariel
Boo-boo, let's go and eat.
Ariel got down from the bed and took her teddy bear.
She opened the door and saw the empty house.
Ariel
*Why no one is here? Where did mummy go?*
She checked the kitchen. But she couldn't find her mom.
Then, she heard a sound in her mother's room.
Ariel
I think mummy is in her room.
Ariel
( Made my way towards her room. )
Chapter - 2
Ariel
( Tiptoed to reach the door's handle. )
Before she could open it fully. Her eyes widened seeing her mother with another man.
The small girl's hold tightened on her teddy bear.
Ariel
( Opened the door fully. )
Ariel
Mommy! What are you doing?
FL's mother
( Pushed the man. )
The man buttoned his shirt.
FL's mother
Why are you here?
( Shout )
The man went to Ariel and squatted before her to see her face.
Harris (Step father)
Don't be scared, Ariel!
Harris (Step father)
From now on, you can call me 'Father'.
Ariel
No. You are not my Dadda...
( Mumbled )
Harris (Step father)
I'm going to marry your mother. So, I will become your father.
Harris (Step father)
You will also have an elder brother soon.
FL's mother
Harris. Don't talk with her.
FL's mother
She is adamant.
Harris (Step father)
Wait. I will make Ariel understand.
Ariel
No. You are not my dadda...
( Yelling )
Ariel got a slap on her face from her mother and her eyes become teary.
FL's mother
Harris! I couldn't manage her. She won't be with us after our marriage.
FL's mother
I don't want her. She is a nuisance.
Harris (Step father)
She is just a little kid.
Harris (Step father)
We can live as a family.
FL's mother
Harris, I prepared to leave her in an orphanage.
Chapter - 3
Harris (Step father)
But... why?
Harris (Step father)
I too have a son. We four can live as a family.
FL's mother
Harris. You don't know about her.
FL's mother
She is a carbon copy of her father. Her attitude, character, and everything.
FL's mother
Harris, her father tortured me. And thank god, he died.
Ariel
My dadda hasn't tortured you.
( Yelled and ran to her room. )
FL's mother
You... Little witch.
( Scream )
FL's mother
Don't you see her attitude, Harris?
FL's mother
I will leave her in an orphanage before we get married.
FL's mother
I will move to your house and probably I won't see her later.
Harris (Step father)
But... she is your kid.
FL's mother
Harris! I hate to see her... Please...
( Sheds tears )
Harris (Step father)
Okay! Okay. Don't cry, honey.
( Consoled her )
Harris (Step father)
You may leave her in the orphanage.
Ariel was sitting in the bed with her teddy bear.
Ariel
Boo-boo! I hate to see my mommy with that man.
Ariel
Why is he telling me to call him dad? He isn't my dadda!
