A PERFECT HUMAN
"Will father come today?", asked Yona in her usual solemn way.
"No.He would be busy today too.",replied kyouka,her assistant who had been posted with her by Yona's father.
,"He doesn't remembers right?"
,"I bet...that's why he didn't came."
,"...At least, he would have remembered my birthday.Instead it seems like he won't even noticed when I'll pass out."
,"Yona don't say things like that.He's just busy.You know he carries a huge burden of work on his shoulders."
,"You always try to flow off things by saying that but...I'm not a kid anymore."
And with her habitual coldness and dismay Yona sat alone at the dining table to have her dinner
Yona Daisuke, daughter of Guren Daisuke,who was the president of Japan was everything and did everything that her father had ever desired.In his eyes she was a perfect human and if she would ever fail to meet his expectations even once then no one could prevent her from burning in the heat of his wrath.On his covet she had made herself his pawn.
Captain of the Baseball team, Swimming club champion, Best martial artist, Incredible painter, An extremely beautiful girl, Youngest fashion model, Most brilliant student of her school, A fluent speaker of seven languages, A skilled writer, A great gymnast, and an expert chess player.She had been learning all these arts since she was only 3.It felt as if it wasn't her own life because she ate, wore, stayed, did and even thought on his preference. Guren couldn't endure to see someone else higher than her.He always narrated her that she was different from others and should neglect the ones around her as they can spoil her but what Yona thought herself was that...she was a human too.
But her father had utterly forgotten it under the weight of his pride.He had downright failed to remember the concept that she had her own existence too, her own sentiments, her own dreams, her own life style. Instead he hadn't ever dared to notice what she liked or hated.In other words Guren was nearly living two lives at a time.
Yona did her private studies as she was not permitted to befriend with anyone and whenever she goes out her assistant, Kyouka kept an eye on her and prevent her from meeting or conversing with anyone.
All of her acts were determined by her father. Guren himself didn't gave his time to her.They would only about three to four times meet in a month just at the dining table and even in those brief hours he wouldn't ever at least ask, 'How are you'.There was a great span between them and Yona resided alone in the vast mansion with only the servants surrounding her.
Her home which was meant to be a place of peace began to feel to her as an endless prison.
Yona's father was a person with solid seriousness and would often stay out for work.This lock down and life generated a cold and sober attitude in her but all that Guren knew was
,"My daughter is meant to be perfect"
ISN'T IT LOVELY ALL ALONE
After dinner Yona went inside her room but before that Kyouka recalled her to exercise. Yona made an excuse that she was a bit under the weather.Today her heart was sinking more than before.She walked in her bedroom and locked the door.
Whenever Yona felt encircled in despair and disappointment she would sit on the couch by her glass wall,open the curtains and facing the dark sky lit up by millions of tiny stars she would bring up her concealed talent which only her soul was aware of and in her elegant voice she would start to sing the song which she thought assisted her in lightening the weight of the burden that was on her ticker playing the violin with her beautiful fingers.
So as usual she opened the curtains, held the violin in her hands, sat on the couch, closing her orbs she began to move the bow onto the strings of the magnificent instrument and started singing;
"Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way out (found)
But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now
Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home"
Then she unlocked her eyes which had gone moist and said to herself
,"I really hope I'll make it out of here some day" suddenly her phone's screen pop up continuously. She opened it and saw her fans texting her happy birthday.Seeing this a layer of sadness ran on her face and she told herself that What kind of fate she had where her own blood relatives had totally made her down Casted while the people she doesn't even knows value her so much.And then those wet eyes began to shed visible tears of grief.
,"I may be perfect.I may be a daughter of a President but...I'm a human too.A normal human like others.I have sentiments as well.I also have some dreams that i want to achieve.Why doesn't he accepts it.Why doesn't let me live like I want to.This is...my life.This is my life.I'm so tired of pretending...", Yona then began to sob gloomily.
Yona was skilled in everything but where she wanted to stand was at the position of a singer and musician to which her father, Guren had utterly rejected. Sometimes she thought was she born to live her life as a marionette but then she would find herself helpless in every matter.
APART FROM MOTHER LOVE
The next day Guren unintentionally came home to collect some papers from his personal cupboard and met Yona in the way.They ceased after noticing each other while Yona released a cold sigh.
,"Well...do you want something as a present.", Guren spoke in an expressionless manner as if some one else had instructed him to say this.
,"I want to meet my mother.", Yona replied in a sharp voice looking boldly in his eyes,
,"So you want nothing,"
,"I said I want to meet my mother."
After staring at her for some jiffs he kick off to walk away saying, "That is not possible."
,"Then don't ever come to meet me again." Yona raised her voice in slight anger and went away to take her swimming classes but Guren didn't even changed his direction to look at her or to reply for what she said.
Yona was residing in Tokyo but Kazuha, her mother lived apart from them.She wasn't allowed to meet her nor was Yona because Guren thought her affection could blemish his daughter. Yona would have hardly seen her mother after she was 3 and when she completely became 4 years old she didn't ever get to perceive her again.
Many times she requested her father to let her meet her mom but every time he would neglect her petition.
When her own blood related ones were not near her the external world felt like a strange place filled with countless strangers.All these circumstances were making her crestfallen but Guren wasn't able to node that.There was no one from whom she can ask for a hand.
OPINION OR ADVICE
The day arrived when her school life ended and the fall of summer break kicked off.
It was time for her to choose her high-school as she would become a first year from now on
Yona's dream was to sign up for the 'Infinite Vibes Academy',the high school where musicians and songsters were raised.Her Ideal, Atsushi Ren was the world's no. 01 singer and he had light a fire under Yona's heart and mind as her inspiration.She used to see him since she was 4 and now his character, his personality and his own self had sank in the depths of her heart that much that all she fancied was to become like him.Infinite Vibes Academy was known as the greatest and vastest academy for enlightening and cherishing up students with both education and music.Many musicians and singers had started their journey to their destination from here.
Three days later the layoff had commenced, Guren called his daughter to see him in his office. Yona thought it would be a great opportunity to declare her wish but all these clustered hopes scattered into several pieces after her father told her that her private studies would still be continued .That made her burst in tears with both anger and agony.She cried out
,"What else do you want to do to me! I'll go Insane staying locked in that prison! You have turned my life into a living hell!"
But Guren gave no response to her screams and exclaims instead he told Kyouka to take her back to the mansion
That night she employed all that time in weeping and regretting her this sort of existence.But it was just until that she read a message from an unknown number
,"Why don't you run away?", And that moment changed the whole ideology of her brain.For a couple of minutes she kept gazing at the texted phrase and then wrote back
,"To where?"
,"Shinjuku. I'll pick you from there. Tomorrow night."
,"Who are you?"
,"You don't need to know that.You'll recognize your self after you'll see me."
That night she would have hardly moved from her place.It felt like as if she had known the stranger before.And then she finally made up her mind.
WHO I REALLY AM
Asleep at the switch Yona realized that the sun had came up.She got up and glared at her phone again then decked up herself in her Ash blue coat and skirt.She went down to have her breakfast meal and after having it when she began to walk away Kyouka said,"Yona you didn't wore your baseball uniform."
,"I'm not going anywhere from now on", Yona threw the answer straight in her face.
,"Your father won't stand it if he heard what you said just now."
,"Do whatever you want to.Tell him I won't do a single thing anymore as he wishes."
Kyouka went startled to see Yona's sudden aspect like this.She was left with her tongue tied after observing the young girl saying these things .Yona walked into her chamber while Kyouka informed Guren about the current incident in the result of which he boiled up in anger
,"Tell her to leave this obstinacy! Or it won't be good for her!", He shouted with rage.
,"But...she isn't listening." Kyouka tried to explain.
,"Lock her in her room.I'll come tomorrow to handle her.Don't let her out until she ensures you that she won't misbehave again."
And as told Kyouka locked her in her room but Yona didn't cared of it even a bit because she had decided now that
,"I will become who I really am."
,"Yona if you promise to carry out his orders then I'll let you go."
,"Tell him to get lost. I've had enough of him.", Yona said while scrolling the screen of her phone.
,"Kyouka gave up on convincing her and simply left the door of her room.
Suddenly Yona got a message from the same number again which said, "Don't bring anything with you because it's more likely to be get caught when you're having a burden with you." and Yona texted back as a thumbs up.
Yona stood up from her bed and suddenly her eyes met the mirror.She went near it and seeing herself from head to toes she thought
,"I've never faced the outside world. Would I be able to adapt myself to the colors of this world.Well...I won't know unless I'll risk. Life would itself stir me into it."
FREEDOM!
The night overshadowed and Yona knew accurately how to escape from this home called dungeon.She took the rope which she often used while doing gymnastics, tied it with one of the legs of the bed and saw the route to exile that was in the very front of her.
She held a flower vase in her hand and from a distance threw it with full force towards the glass wall with the intention of shattering it.The vase broke into pieces leaving the glass a little cracked.It was fate that her room was created sound proof.Then she took out her baseball bat and then started smashing the glass.After spending half an hour in putting her efforts to broke the glass it finally cleared out a space from which she could easily pass through.Her room was not at much height but still jumping from there without any support would be exact to invite death
,"Today's the day when this stupid gymnastics would be of any use.Thanks father I hope you made me learn that to make my escape easy.", Yona giggled on her own thought. She stood at the edge of the room and holding the rope, ready for any sort of outcome she jumped down praying so hard to land on feet.First she touched down her feet on a block that was raised out of the even building and by doing the same, landing on further blocks Yona finally felt the ground.
She was on cloud nine after acknowledging her triumph.There was no end to her gladness.And now she was all set to face anything.
The mansion was surrounded by large barriers with guards guarding the whole villa but she had a scheme for that too.
Hiding in the dark she went at the backside of the house which she believed to be out of reach of the guards.The fence was a little high but what can climbing matter for a gymnast.
She climbed the fence and just as she was about to jump on the other side she heard a voice
,"Stop!"
Yona ceased for a jiff but perceiving her freedom in front of her sight she jumped down from the fence and then the problem commenced.
She ran into streets and in search of her numerous guards were scattered everywhere and mostly were coming in her direction.
The commander who was leading the mobiles walked in the streets where he had saw Yona running but now saw a girl wearing a hoodie and jeans.The cap was on her head and from inside he could see visible brown hairs.
