My mom is crying in front of me , but why ? Did I do something wrong ? And where is big brother ? Why is father shouting on the phone? Why is the police here? Should I ask mom ? ..M..m..mom? Where is ..b..big brother?.. Huh! why is mom looking at me like that , I don't like it . I should go ask father but I don't like him ... he hits mom with a golf stick , sometimes a vase or anything in his sight..p..papa , I - before I knew , dad shouted ..fuck off you little bitch , don't you know you killed your brother , who the fuck will take my inheritance now you bloody bitch! And don't you fucking call me papa...what! No I did not kill big brother , we were just playing this morning besides the lake when my doll fell down in the lake and I tried to take it , but I fell down too . Then I woke up here at this scary sight of mom crying and dad shouting and all these police officers here . Did big brother save me and fell down himself ....no , not big brother ..I don't want to cry but tears kept rolling down my cheeks...Mom glanced at me and came towards me , her mascara still scattered all over her eyes and the fresh bruise on her head still bleeding..m..mom? ..what.. what happened? ..before I knew , mom slapped me and cursed at me ...I don't understand what she is saying ..but she kept on hitting me ....just like dad hits her ...is she angry at me or dad? Or at the fact that big brother is missing? Or maybe both? She kept hitting me until my ear and nose started to bleed , but suddenly a tall police officer came and grabbed her hands ...Ma'am, I understand your situation and your anger but please , she is just a 7 year old child and it was not her fault .. stop it.... please rika...stop...this isn't you..the police officer knew mom? But how ? I want to go to big brother and ask him to read me poems , he does that every time I cry or feel sad. At this point , my cheeks felt numb and i couldn't feel any pain , but why am i still crying ? Is it because i miss big brother ? where are you big brother?
