The Lonely Night

{As of today, I am 18 and that makes me an eligible adult. but little did I knew that being an adult was only the start of the even more devastating miseries...}

HONK HONK--

???: "Rosaleen we will be late, Come down quickly"

Rosaleen: "Veena did you take my bag?! I told you not to touch my stuff now we'll be late all because of you!"

Veena: "N-No it was you who kept it in your closet and forgot about it..." [in a low voice]

Rosaleen: "What did you say?! Did you mean 'I' forgot about it?!!"

Veena: "N-no I...didn't mean that..." [in an even lower voice]

Honkkkk-Honk-Honkkk

Rosaleen: "Ugh forget it what are you mumbling about? you are so dumb!"

???: What took you so long?

Rosaleen: Sorry Dad Vena forgot where she put her bag so I was helping her find it.

[Rosaleen while giving a look of don't utter a word to vena]

???: Vena did? you need to take care of your own stuff Vena.

[In a cold voice]

{but sadly at that time I wasn't good at reading criticism, I never took it that way}

Vena: "Yes Uncle I will be more careful" [while smiling innocently]

[we got inside the car and from then only Uncle and Rosaleen were conversing... I didn't know what to talk about so it was always like this for me. I ended up only listening in on their conversation stupidly sitting and not uttering a word... I wasn't good at having conversations anyway so it never occurred to me that they might be casting me aside... ]

[I am 18 this year, When I was 5 my Mother died in an accident, I don't know the details but it happened on her way to Helios Estate. After that my Uncle Milton Helios, my dads' brother took care of me...]

[My Aunt Judith never liked me but for some reason, she's not kicking me out of the house... probably because of my uncle]

{Uncle and Aunt only had a daughter and no Sons 'Rosaleen Helios' their only Daughter... so of course, they shower her with love. it has been like that and will stay that way.

Sure why not? She's Their only daughter but man She has a nasty personality and on top of that they ignore her mistakes and show blatant favouritism it's ridiculous to the point that you might start doubting your own statements.

She's 19 this year and we're only a year apart yet they act like I'm a kid and have to listen to my big sister, it's always a No for me and an Ok for her.

but I was just great full that they are at least providing me with shelter and food. But that was just a front. I knew that it was all for show, yet I was afraid and kept deluding myself with lies...In actuality they were taking me for a servant, And I naively thought that they act that way because they think of me as a family... Naive and stupid!, I hate myself for being this way, I am a coward.}
