episode 1

I can't remember anything from my childhood aside from the memory of my five year old self looking at my room's ceiling inhaling the relaxing smell of the flowers my mom grows,

the smell was so relaxing that even though the sun was scorching hot it slowly drove me to sleep

———····———

waking up at my bed at exactly 4:59, a minute just before my alarm would remind me of my daily duties,

I immediately turn my alarm clock off since I hated the sound that it makes

I slowly open the door not wanting any sound from waking my mother up

l looked around to see if my father was there and I immediately found him

noticing that he is in a good mood I quickly head to the kitchen to cook our breakfast

after cooking two dishes, serving the rice and arranging the table, I set three plates for my mother,father and little brother

you must wanna ask me why I did not include myself to the plate arrangement but that's because

I did not want to interrupt their breakfast

since I am not one to talk when eating and it always lead to an awkward atmosphere

now you might see me as the outsider or the outcast of our family but it's not that..... it just so happen that all members of the family have different personalities and talking a lot is one thing that they have in common

I did some simple chore at my bedroom so that I have an excuse to be away at the table just long enough until they are nearly finished eating

as I heard my father's chair scratch the s floor it indicates that they are all nearly finished

after eating only half a plate of food..... I quickly washed everyone's dirty dishes and put them to their respective places

I was going towards my room when I received a phonecall from my best friend Nikki, I quickly answered the phone and put it at my ears

-hello?Nikki?

-yes! Aria do you have any plan on the 17th?

she squeal....I could hear from the tone of her voice that she's hoping I'm free that day

-17th? let me check wait.....nope nothing....why?

oh my god if this is another party at her brother's friend's house I will never go

-do you wanna go to the new resort my uncle open? and don't worry Lilian will be there and no need for money because from taxi,rooms and food it's all free

-free? oh yeah I'm in

-yeeyyy I'll pick you up at 8 'kay bye love you

'kay bye

she hung on the phone not letting me say my goodbyes

"strange is she hiding something"

i thought to myself.... •ding• I heard my phone signaling that I had received a message

I opened my phone to see Nikki saying

hi ari(short for Aria) I forgot to tell you this but kindly bring 2 swimsuit please😋 thank you mwuahh~😘

that bitch..... I knew it..... that's why she's so fast at cutting me off
