Mei pov ..
After hours of working and doing all the house chores , I sat down on one of the stools tired. I am exhausted and frustrated as usual , I am treated like a pig or worse in this house since dad decided to leave us ,
He left mom one day with not even a single goodbye or a letter on the table of where he was going, he left two daughters who were really young and mom decided to drain herself in alcohol and let out all her frustration out of me .
She couldn't beat up Alessia , because she looked just like her and dotes on her more than me .she usually tells me that she hates me and my face is a resemblance of what she lost .
" her husband, " meaning I look like my dad , I inherited his brown skin , the kinky curls that landed just above my back , his green eyes that were once filled with life when he was with us . I have a very small resemblance with my mom,
I had only her nose and ears whilst Alessia has everything of hers , her slender figure , long legs , sharp features and straight long hair and a white skin tone.
She is gorgeous , but with some nasty bad manners. Not like I am blaming her , it was all dad's and mom's fault . I played my part in talking out everything with my sister but I think she is just a crack head more like a rock hard head .
She doesn't want to hear anything that comes from my mouth , I keep on thinking what went wrong , ?
What made her all this bitter.
My goodness , I mumbled and stood up from the stool slowly , because my waist was killing me . I walked to the kitchen isle and took the pots from the woods and place it on the table .
Smells delicious , I mused out and closed the delicious meal.
I am almost done ,I murmured more to myself and did the remaining chores like cleaning the house and soon I was done .
Wiping out the sweat on my forehead , I walked out of the house hungry in search of the knuckleheads ," My mom and sister . "
I just can't understand Alessia somtimes ,I mean mom too , but why is she this way ? Very mean towards not only me but everyone around here .
My family is well known of how crazy it is , my sister would go and follow some men around the village who are willing to give her money and for them to do anything they want to her and she gladly accepts ." Desperate much !" I know but I would never tell her that , I usually like supporting her as long as she is not hurting anyone .
The good thing about her it's that she dances and one of the most good dancers here and she gets a good amount of money that can support herself and even us sometimes , yes it is regarded as a shameful thing in the village but as along as she loves what she does I have no problem with it .
She is a good soul ,she is just lost but trying to live the life that many of us in the village do not have ,
"The life of luxury , fun and enjoyment ."
I walked around asking some people if they have seen any of them only to be met with a disappointment. Great !!I throw my hands in the air dramatically and returned home .
After a few minutes of pacing around here and there , loud sounds of drums were heard From every corner of the places on the village .
I knew one thing, " my sister was leading it on, "
I shake my head and walked outside , one thing I love about Alessia is that she is confident and knows that she is beautiful , and carries herself well especially in these types of occasions .
A broad smile appeared on my face as I looked at her on the front lead dancers, shaking her body with all the glory and smiling throughout the course .
I whistled around , hyping her up . When she saw me she gave me a big wink and a broad smile .I felt happy, with that gesture ,she keeps on dancing wildly as I watch her pass with the musical beats that followed her with the others ,
Every villager was applauding with all the fun that the young men and women have been doing,I scoffed and rolled my eyes thinking of these hateful villagers who will start gossiping just after the music descends .
I clapped my hands and not soon the music wasn't heard anymore around us as it fades ," I wonder what is the ocation . " and then I got happy thinking of Alessia ,she is going to get money .
Maybe I will pursuade her to distribute some for food ," Great idea .." I mumbled and not soon I saw mom from a far,Stumbling and talking to herself as she walked drowsily,
Mom .. I yelled and ran to her , a good way to seek attention in broad hours of the day ,
Oh Mei , or is it Chris ?? Mom asked making me tear up a little .. Chris was dad's name.
Mom it's Mei , I tell her with tears ,
Oh the good for nothing daughter , ? She asked and giggled after .I felt a ping of pain in my heart hearing the heartless words from her .
It's Mei Mom,i tell her and she giggled ,
I wonder why didn't Chris take Mei with her you know , ?? Maybe I would have lived happily with no burden.. nothing that looks like him . She slurred and looked at my eyes ,
I am sorry,i murmured and walked her to our home .why are you crying, ? don't cry for him little girl .. he is a wench of a husband , a male harlot and I can't change that .
That good for nothing man, he left me to raise two stupid ungrateful children and let me wallow on my sorrow ,
It hurts .. she cried out while I hold onto her and tried walking her to our home. Everyone was looking but I didn't care ,
After so many years , the pain is still wet and drenched with the wounds of the pasts .So I have decided to not care too, she finally says and Looks at me with a smile .I hate Mei so much, she could die for all I care , she says with a little twisted smile before she succumb into the darkness . I can't blame her , it's my resemblance to him that speaks volume and any woman would just feel the same right ?
It's all dad's fault , I mumbled and looked at the condition of my fainting mother on my arms and soon I dragged her inside our home .
"It was all his fault, "
