“You can now open your eyes.”
I felt him remove his arm from around me.
“We are here, Star. You can open your eyes.”
I did as he asked.
Instead of opening it fast, I slowly did so.
“Where are we....... Mother?” I blinked, to make sure I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing. “Father? Brothers?”
“Star!”
They simultaneously called.
A tear slid down my eyes at the sight of my family.
I never thought I will ever get to see my family.
But here they are, standing not too far from me.
I turned to my master.
He nodded his consent.
“Mother!” I rushed over to her and enveloped her in a bone-crushing hug.
“Star,” mother sobbed. “Are you the one, Star?” She gently caressed my hair.
“It's me, mother. I'm the one.” I sniffed, “I've missed you, mother.”
Who would have thought I will one day miss the family I tormented with my nonchalant ways?
