chapter 1 : lost her favour

A girl named Anna was pampered by her family since she was a child. Her parents and her siblings love her and adores her very much.

She being treated that way, everyone know it's because she is the only princess in the house.

She thought the favour will always be by her side and will lasting until the day she died but she was wrong.

As she grow older, she started to behave arrogantly towards the peoples she dislike and the servants under her.

She always scold them over the tiniest mistake they make. They never once be pitied by her.

For the ways she speak her words to others, not even once a pleasant words come out from her mouth. In another words, she never once watch for what she say.

And the day that change her fate come. Her parents brought back a girl at the same age of her to their house.

Her cloths look shabby and dirty that make her eyes can't stand to watch them longer.

They said the girl was picked from the slum but when they look at the adorable face of her, they ignore the fact.

After days past, she started to notice something. Something about her parents and the siblings that start avoiding her and how they always smile towards the girl they brought in.

After just a few days, she win them over and even become parts of the family.

" Ah I think I've lost to her". The thought cross in her mind as the days past and become a week and the weeks past to become a month and it eventually become years.

Now she realize that, they are no longer adores her and how she completely lost their favours before she even started to compete for it.

As she started to notice that, the servant that serves her started to decrease little by little. After few days past, she eventually on her own.

She needs to prepare herself on her own and doing the chores by herself. Not even a maid come to give her a hand, helping her and give her some courage.

A few days after all of belonging completely vanished from her very own eyes, she went outside to release of the boredom she feel.

She has been in her room all the time after realizing the fact about her family. She afraid to go outside as she scared of being cast aside by them.

She went to walk at the garden after wondering about where should she go. She don't want to face her family and most of it, she don't want to see the girl smile happily with her family.

But while walking at the garden all alone, she surprise to see her family sits under the tree. They seem to be having a picnic there.

And what more the girl is not there and that time she was really happy. With the cloud nine in her heart, she takes the first step to there.

Unfortunately before she started to make her second steps, she body freeze instantly.

She saw the girl running with a happy face towards them. And not only that, she also shocked with the fact that her family also welcome her with a smile of joy around her.

Her heart felt hurt at the very moment from the sight. But even if she felt like that, there is nothing much she can do on her own.

Her family is no longer concern themselves with the existence of her in the house.

Not have the strength to run, she then observe them from afar. They looked happy and full of smile.

She looked at the girl. She looked polite, kind hearted and what more she's much more obedient from her.

" Ha, is that why you ignores me and like her?" She question them even thought they can't hear her.

Her heart throb with the big change in her family. Not have much courage to see them longer, she turns her back.

She started to runs back to her room. As she runs faster and not looking at where she is going, she accidently hit on a person.

" I'm sorry". She apologized and without looking at the face, she runs on her way.

" What wrong with that girl? Why did she's crying?" Michael question her while looking at the her from behind.

He ignored them as he continue his walked and arrived at the picnic spot they tell him.

He greet the elders with politeness and say hello to his buddys.

The young masters of the house is his friends. They always have a sit somewhere and talking with each other.

" Hello Brother Michael". Milly greet him shy. She had fallen in love with him since the first time they meet and greet each other.

" Hello Milly. It's great to see you here". And of course it's one sided love from Milly.

Michael always ignores her whenever she start talking to him. He not really like to stay close with a woman especially when they tried to flirt with him.

" On the way here, I met with a young lady? Who is she?" Michael looked them at the face when he asked the question.

Peoples know for the meaning of the gaze and it absolutely not something that they can ignores.

' Don't lie to me'. That how they describe Michael when he looked at them by their face.

People who not know him may be think that he is a gentle person but when the other party know how he exactly is they will start to be wary of him.

Not even a person have the guts to confront him when he asked a question and they also not much people who dares to tell lie when around him.

To him, even if they're a close friend of him, that does not give them the permission to tell lies to him.

He'll never spare anyone who try to lie.

" She is just a nobody. She is staying here just for a while. After a few days she will be continue her travel".

The first young master of the house gather his courage to tell some lies. He understand the consequences by doing so but he not really care by that for now.

Then they started to their conversation back and because of the bright sun shines to his face makes him to look at the other way.

He diverted his view and look at the blue sky covered with the white cloud.

When he was about to look back at his friend, his eyes caught a sight of a girl sitting on the window. She sat there playing with her hair and looking at the same blue sky as he just did.

" She is beautiful". He compliment her beauty from a far. Looking at her a few moment make his heart at ease. But then the young lady close up the window as she going back inside.

" When is your departure Michael?" The second young master tried to divert Michael eyes from looking at the room of his forgotten sister.

" It's in two days from now". He answer it with no interest. He not really like to talk about himself with other people when his family not even meddle with his life.

He stand up for leaving. His legs has become numb after sitting for too long on the ground. He then excuse himself as the time he spent there were quite long than the time he spent with his family.

" Lets me send you out Brother Michael". Milly tried to snatch the opportunity to be with Michel. But the answer of course always be disappointed.

" It's okay. I can find my own way out". He rejected her. Thought it sound gentle, everyone knows he is disgust with that.
