Chapter 2 - Dear Diary, Please Proceed

"It seems that we don't have any objections, very well then, Shall I proceed?" The old woman tease.

"Fine, please proceed. tsk" The young man irritatedly answered. But as for his thoughts, the old woman was right. In this generation books are quite rare since technology and science took a big hit to the community. Advance technologies is everywhere, flying cars are invented since 2103 and Mars became a second home right after the flying car was invented. They say, that there are already a community, build in the safest place at Mars.

"Okay then, here it is..."

I was excited. I do really wanted to read it already, but I must first clean this cabin. Because of the determination, I continue to separate the materials and set aside the diary. I swept the dust on the floor right after segregating the materials based on use. After I swept the floor, I then go outside to fetch some water using the bucket to the nearest well.

The well is quite mossy and old, but the water inside is somehow clean. I dry up my sweat with my towel first, then I wash my face and hand to refresh myself. Right after that, I fill up the bucket full and proceed to the cabin as I walking towards to it, I examine its structure.

It was quite old, but sturdy. Because the walls are made up of stacks of stones that glued together. The floor and roof are made of wood logs, as for the floor the log was skinned perfectly flat. The cabin have only three rooms, the kitchen, living room and a work room. The kitchen was attach with the living room at the ground floor, as for the work room was found at the ceiling, but to go to the ceiling you must first pull a lever next to the hidden door to bring down its foldable stairs.

This cabin was a gift from my Aunt named Molina Ramszel. She put my name, Carrie Ramszel to a contract saying that if she dies, I will inherit this place. I don't even know why. I don't even know her that much. So, this situation conflicted her two daughters, Gina and Roulette Ramszel to me. They both want the cabin and they want me to sign another contract to give them this place, I agreed but unfortunately the contract was only valid if I become an adult, since I was only 13 years old it means that we have to wait five years, for me to become 18 years old to legally pass on this place to them.

It was already around 6:00 pm when I finish cleaning the ground floor. I went outside to go to the bathhouse, it was pain to walk outside but I don't have any choice because the bathroom was build separately from the cabin. When I went inside, it was still messy and dirty, I only clean the wooden circle tub so I can soak in my body with a warm water that I boil before I go here. After I clean myself, I soak my body inside the tub, the feeling of heavens evade my body removing all my fatigue and worries away.

After I go to bath. I change my clothes and lit up the fireplace in the living room with a igniter and woods to keep myself warm. Now, I grab the diary that I saw before and sit to a wooden rocking chair near at the fireplace. I stared at the book for a while. The fire crackling the woods as its burn, and the silence covered the entire place. I open the diary carefully, and its flipping pages was the only thing that can hear inside the room.

The first page of the book was blank, as for the second page there was a printed words "Property of:", but there is no name written underneath. As I continue at the fourth page, I gasped. My face lit up in excitement and curiosity. As for it says...
