The surrounding is dark, cool, silence takes over the room. There is a girl, retreats herself further and further in the corner, curls up like a ball.
“knock…knock…knock…” “Amber, it’s me, uncle. Can I come in?”
No respond….
The bold of the door is being turned by the mid-aged man, only to be greeted by the cold breeze from inside.
“Kid, Donghae told me that you refused to eat your meals again.”
He sits closely on the bed next to the dispirited girl.
“You know we are worried about you right?” asked Uncle.Liu.
“Dad don’t” A weak whisper escapes from .
“Amber….” The man pulls his niece into a tight hug, once he see the tears are already at the edges of her eyes.
“Why….I’m his daughter….Why I don’t feel the love I supposed to feel…. This isn’t the first time they said they wanted to disown me….. Am I not worth enough to feel love?”
Flashback
Her parents are always busy about their business, the only thing that would attract their attention is their daughters’ results in exams. The only time that allowed them to know more about their daughters is when they meet the teachers. Jackie is a brilliant student who could score A+ in every subject back then in the high school. While Amber, she is also a straight A scorer, but her don’-be-too-serious attitude sometime just caused her to only get A- or A in her not so favorite subjects.
Their parents would always compare her result with her older sister, blaming her for not paying much attention in school. She was on her rebellious stage that time, of cause she won’t care about the results. Mr and Mrs. Liu also started to become standoffish to the tomboy, only concerned about their older daughter’s performances. Things became worst when they only chose to attend Jackie’s Parent’s Night.
To attract her dad and mum attention, the little Amber started to be a problem kid in school, a troublemaker who only deepen her teachers’ headache. They tolerated her at first, considered that it might be her rebellious stage and the fact that she performed greatly in her academic study. However when the little Amber started to prank on her teachers, the teachers finally couldn’t held it anymore and tackled her parents on this question. That’s what the little girl wanted.
She thought that finally her parents would care about her, but, her mum’s words had frightened her.
“ One more time and we will going to disown you.” Said the lady in a flat tone.
Since then, the troublemaker backed to the previous obedient student.
