I wish I'd gone with them. That was all I wanted until one day everything changed when someone walked into my room, I just woke up, so my sight was blur, I couldn't see clearly, but it looked like a woman.
It was a woman, she had a similar resemblance to my mom, at first, I thought it was her.'Was it a dream, was I dreaming this whole time?' Kira thought as she sees the woman approaching her. She looked like my mom, but she wasn't her, she was much older, her hair was grey, so I knew she was someone else, someone much older than mom.
'She should be in her late 60th's, if I should guess her age, but my mom isn't that old in age, and mom doesn't have grey hair too', she thought as she stares at the woman curiously."Who are you?" Kira asked the woman in front of her.
"I am your grandmother, it's nice to see you dear, you've grown since we last saw" she replies with a gentle smile on her face.
Her grandmother further explains that she has been going and coming none stop to check up on Kira in the hospital. Kira's condition was so terrible it made her grandmother so worried; she thought Kira wasn't going to make it.
*sigh* "Thank God you recovered speedily, now your injuries are all gone". her grandmother said with a sign of relief in her voice.
she further explains to Kira that she will be in her custody from now on, and she will make sure to give her the best life ever, while growing up in her care.
At first, I was skeptical of what she said, but I could recall seeing her face once, back then when I was still very little, I think I was 5yrs old then, my mom takes me to her place, it was a huge mansion. It was so big and fancy and I will always ask mom, when were we going to have our own huge mansion like this one and mom would always smile and tell me soon, very soon. [flash back event]
So now I live with my grandma, it's was later, I got to know the full story of my mom. Mrs. Yui, which is my grandma's, didn't want her daughter, (my mom) to marry my dad, because he wasn't financially stable, but mom said it was true love, and she was going to marry him weather she approves of them or not so grandma allowed it.

"The day of her wedding I gave her a charming necklace, it was a family necklace that was pass down from mother to daughter, my mother passed it to me and I wanted to pass it down to her, but she refused and didn't accept it, I didn't know why? I asked her if something was wrong to have made her refused. Maybe I have hurt her in anyway, she should please find it in her heart to forgive me, but she didn't say anything, and walked away. Ever since then I never saw her again, on till she had you. I begged her to let me see my grandchild just once and then I will leave her alone completely, and so she did and brought you to my mansion. Mrs. Yui explain sadly to Kira.
"Later I heard that she and her husband moved to a cheap common environment, because of money, I tried to support but your mother wouldn't accept it, she wanted to be independent as she's a woman and a mother, she told me that she was going to be independent without me and that she would work really hard to earn a living, so I withdrew myself. Your mother was always a stubborn head type when she was little, always was and always will be, watching her grow, she always wanted to leave the house to do her own thing, travel and explore the world, adventure away, into the unknown, never wanted to bond with me" Mrs. Yui said looking sad.

"As her mother, I was always afraid and worried about her, wondering what will happen if she grows up one day and adventured off but never comes back, I guess my greatest fear as a mother for so many years has finally become a reality" Mrs. Yui added with tears dropping from her eyes.
*sobbing*
'Looking at grandma I felt really sad for her, I tried to console her, but I couldn't, I could feel her pain was the same as mine. Losing my mom and dad, the pain I felt that very day it happened, was like nothing I've ever experienced before. Growing up with mom, she was a strong, brave, intelligent woman, she was feared by all who came across her, although she had a little bit of kindness but her crazy side took most of her personality, she was like fire and ice, she was always so hot headed most of the time, always getting annoyed over something, also I never saw my dad that much, he was hardly around us, he was always travelling overseas for business contract, work and so on.
