I still couldn't believe what had happened. but i decided not to waste this opportunity and do my best to make a life and make all those who hurt me in my past life pay.
I received a call which interrupted my thoughts. It was dad. After sometime, I picked the call
"Alicia, you better start getting home right now! I just heard what you did from your sister and believe me i am very angry. So get home right now." He scolded and i stayed quiet.
The way he called it home like i had ever belonged there disgusted me. They never loved me or even cared about me. That's the reason why i was sent out so early from their home with the excuse of them believing i was mature enough to take care of myself.
I dropped the call ignoring whatever he had said later and got ready. I was going there to see what he would pull up this time or if it will be just like in my past life.
I called a cab and drove to the house. Standing in front of the gates made me feel a lot of emotions which were no longer new to me. I walked through the gates and went into the house.
I walked into the house and suddenly everyone was quiet. Mom was there, dad too and then Anna and Clark.
I walked towards them and before knew it, Mum stood up walked to me and gave me a slap. I held my cheek and looked at her. I had let them hurt me all those years but i promised myself that things will be different and i would never let them hurt me again.
"Mom..." Anna stood up to hold mom behaving like the perfect sister but i ignored her.
"You really have no shame. You walk in here not looking even a little remorseful of what you did. I can't even believe you're my child and worst of all that i raised you." Dad said angrily and i just stared at him.
"Now you apologize to your husband and hope he forgives you if not..."he added and i interrupting him, finally deciding to speak.
"If not what dad? I really thought you had a little bid of trust in me. But seems like i was wrong, you not even bothering to hear from me what happened is enough prove of it." i stopped for a while and continued
"By the way, i did not do anything to Clark, so why should i apologize..."i said.
"Just say sorry sister..." Anna said and stopped when i stood in front of her. "That's none of your business " I said looking at her right into her eyes and then Clark pulled me away from in front of her.
"That's enough Alicia, we should get back home and talk about it there" just like before he said exactly the same thing when i begged them to believe me. Making me to think he would actually forgive me when he never actually intended to.
I pulled away from him and too my purse " There's no home for me with neither of you and you know it. I guess i would be better off on my own." I didn't hold much against my parents but seemed like getting away from all of them will give me peaceful life.
"Ungrateful brat!" Mom said as she stood up. " I can't believe i actually cared for you and even lived with you like you where my own child after the dead of your bitch of mother and you say this is not your home? Actually you don't belong here, you don't deserve anything in this house, not even the little love we tried showing you, you're just like your mother leaching of...."
"That's enough" Dad said but i felt like fainting. So that was the reason, i wasn't her daughter. Now i get it. I resisted the urge i felt at that instant to cry and turned to leave the house.
"Alicia get back here, or believe me i will cut off all ties i have with you." Dad said and i stopped and turned back to them. "You're right, i don't deserve any of this, i clearly deserve better." Then i left and went back to my apartment. Well, my ex apartment, i needed to leave but needed i job first. but my current level might definitely not have gotten me a well paid job. So i decided to start from something little.
I did not need them to survive and i was going to prove it to them.
I called the number from a notice i had read earlier requesting a waiter at a the cafe i was early at with Mr. Sona.
I was told to come the next day and i really hoped i could get something doing there.
I tossed the phone aside and sat on my bed. I couldn't believe the news i had just received. So she wasn't my mother. It was indeed very shocking and most of all painful. They all knew the truth and no one told me. Not even dad. My life was really just a piece of drama. I understood why she was so distant with me. She couldn't bring herself easily to raise a child who wasn't her own.
"I wonder what type of person my mother was" I said sighing before finally falling asleep.
**********
I found myself in back where i died. Was it all a dream.
I knew it. I tried waking up but i heard a voice. " Stay still," The voice said and remained silent. It wasn't Anna nor Clark. So who was it.
"Who are you" I asked my voice almost coming out like a whisper. Then I saw a shadow. I repeated my question but no response, i couldn't even move.
Then the person spoke again. " Good luck " it stopped "in your new life "
Then the shadow disappeared. Just what the hell was going on?
