Chapter 6 - Anna's thoughts

I am the youngest of the three sisters.

Since Mommy went to heaven, my little sister Maki took care of us, things became very complicated for her.

He could not go back to school as he had to do everything at home.

Our aunt never showed up, my little sister says we don't need her and we never will.

My little sister does not know how to cook, nor does she do housework. We usually eat at school (recently in between). The teachers are concerned about our situation, they called our aunt on more than one occasion, who never answered.

In their place was always Maki, who replied that we were fine.

My little sister hardly slept, those six months were very difficult.

We hardly ate, we were badly dressed, the only happiness I had was when I was at school and the teachers took care of me. At home my little sister did everything she could, but it was not enough to cover the needs of the three of us, she gave everything for us, but did nothing for her.

Every night I prayed for a miracle to happen.

I had not met my dad since he disappeared when I was born, Mommy always told me that he was a hero and the best sorcerer that had ever existed.

The same towards my little sister who told me the same thing.

I would have liked to meet him.

Until one day while we were visiting mommy's grave. PUMM!

A badly wounded young man emerged from a portal.

I didn't know who that young man was, but my little sister Maki recognized him immediately.

DAD! I scream that time.

My prayers had been answered.

Time passed and I did not see the father that my mommy and my little sister told me about.

Daddy was different.

He seemed fragile, sad and yet he always smiles at us.

Since he returned all change, our lives have improved at an alarming rate.

Daddy is always available for us, the house is always clean, we eat better.

But no matter how we feel, I still see that sad look in daddy's eyes.

Mommy always said that the eyes are the window to the heart. Does it mean that daddy's heart is sad?

Sometimes daddy leaves the house and speaks in another language that we do not know, the words that come out of his mouth are of a melancholic tone, it seems that he is speaking to someone, could it be to mommy?

Maki asked him once about that language.

"It's my native language" he replied.

He said that one day he would show us.

Did I always think daddy was rumi? When I asked my little sister she said she didn't know the answer.

One day as I was heading to the bathroom at night, I heard Daddy in his room speaking the same language. I looked out to see and I was having a nightmare, I always went to bed late and there were even days that I did not sleep.

I approached him and hugged his head.

"Everything will be fine daddy, now you are with us and we will take care of you" I told him, trying to help him forget his nightmare. Unconsciously he stopped moving and started crying. That night I stayed with him.

Daddy now has a friend, he is a man who is a troll. The man is called K'vool and he is very nice since that time Daddy I have not had nightmares since my little sisters have done the same thing I did, they always accompany him.

Thanks to his new friend daddy he is more open and cheerful. But I still see sadness in his eyes.

My little sister Maki said that she suffered from very low self-esteem, but she didn't know why, since she had never seen him sad, she did know him before he disappeared, but now she tells us that he is a different person.

I like the way Daddy is, but I would like him to always have a happy look, not that sad look. I would also like him to dress better, he is always wearing the same clothes. He cares a lot for us, but he doesn't do it for him, now I understand why my little sister is like that.

Antonia always tells her that she looks like our aunt, but I think Maki looks a lot like Daddy.

I would like daddy to get a girlfriend, I think it would make him happy.

Although he always denies that he does not want that. During our visit to the village he said that no woman would notice him.

I don't think so, Antonia said that a young demihuman approached her to flirt with her.

The same thing happened when we told him to change his clothes, many women began to look at him. If daddy saw himself in a mirror and fixed himself better, he would notice that he is very handsome, I know that we are witches and as far as we are concerned we are similar to mommy or our aunt (which we are not happy about) although she is beautiful, I am envious of Antonia of us three is the only one who has the same eye color as daddy, which makes her feel proud.

I don't know what the demihuman girl was like, but Maki didn't like being approached, she's very jealous.

After an unexpected event, two new people arrived, one of them became friends with Daddy immediately, while the other opened the possibilities that she is Daddy's girlfriend.

I like it a lot, but my little sisters don't.
