A STORY- Take care of my eyes

 Part 2

They were a small family of four-Mum, Dad, Sia and her elder sister, Monica. Monica, unlike Sia was rather a quite girl who kept things to herself. She mostly played indoors, watched T-V and kept few friends. Outwardly she loved her parents as her little sister but something had made her uneasy. She did not like it. Everyone saw Sia, everyone loved Sia. She was nothing to anyone. Sometimes she felt that she was deprived of her parents’ love. They were always attending to Sia needs. They always loved her a little less. Sometimes they completely forgot that she even existed. It was always Sia ad she knew it would always be. This was a heartbreak enough for the dark haired Monica who was three years older than Sia.

It happened when Monica was in ninth grade. She had turned into an attractive young girl. Her delicate figure and wavy dark hair took the breath out of guys. She was transforming into a gorgeous fire which became dangerous combined with her envious feelings. Because one day all hell broke loose. Monica had finally decided that there was no place for her amid her family. She wanted to get rid of them. She wrote it all in a piece of paper and hid it quietly I her mother’s bedroom shelf before running off to school. That afternoon she never came home. Sia had been screaming as she watched her devastated mother holding limply Monica’s painful farewell she had discovered in her shelf amid her garments. Dad was an image of angry bull. How could this be possible? Why would their daughter call them a failure? That night after sending Sia to bed kissing her and holding her tight for fear of losing this one, the parents quietly closed their bedroom door. They didn’t sleep. They pondered over all this like wise parents.

What was it that made Monica disappear forever taking with her the happy times of their life? There must have even a reason behind it. Was it them? Did they, after all, compel her to leave the house? And would she ever return?

The next days passed with a lingering grief in their hearts. Dad dropped Sia to school and picked her up on his way back. The once lively home had eventually turned into a gloomy uninteresting abode. Everyone had lost their minds. Sia had missed her previous life. With the passing days the family of three vowed to protect each other and make them happy. The grief faded a little by little ad they hoped.

But life always has its own way, no matter how much you try. After six months, they had decided that they had the right to live and Sia went to her friend’s birthday party dresses in a right green dress ad a glittery gift for Hana, the birthday girl. But as she was drive on her way back, the car had accidently skidded on the gravel road and turned upside down as it collided forcefully against a tree trunk.
