Aira remember her childhood day where she was treat differently like love, care....
Flashback - Age 7
Laughter fills the house. Aira runs through the halls, her mother chasing behind her with a towel.
Aira running and giggling said "You'll have to catch me first!"
Her mother laughing reply "You little monkey! Come back here!đ€Ł"
Her father stands by the doorway, smiling.
He said "She's faster than you, sweetheart"
Her mother replied "Because she's got your legs and my trouble-making heart"
Her sister Mira helps her dry off. Even Rayen, just a teen, lets her braid his hair while he studies.
Back then... she was their sunshine. Their joy.
but now everything gone change.
A Week Later - At the Hospital
Aira mother said to her in soft voice "Aira, remember what we told you? There's a little girl who needs a home"
Her father said to her too "She doesn't have a mommy or daddy like you do. So, we're going to bring her into our family"
Little Aira smile brightly and question them " A new little sister?!"
Her mother replied her "Yes, her name is Sana"
They go inside.
A little girl with big brown eyes and messy braids stares from the corner of the room. She doesn't smile.
Aira walks up to her and offers her stuffed bunny.
Aira with innocent face and smile said "You can have Mr. Bubbles. He helps me sleep.đ"
Sana stares for a moment... then takes it.
That was the beginning.
the beginning of her pain...đ
Months Later - Small Changes
Aira notices it first in small things.
Her mom starts asking Sana what she wants for dinner. Her dad hugs Sana first. Rayen scolds Aira more-but never Sana.
they started behaving differently with her...
One night, Aira hears this:
Mom (to Dad, in the kitchen): She's been through a lot. We have to make her feel loved, even more than the others for now.
Her dad said "She's fragile. Aira's strong, she can handle it"
Aira stares from the stairs. She doesn't understand it yet.
But that's the night she felt... less.
now it's begun...đ
Sana breaks a vase. Aira gets blamed.
Sana tells a lie. Aira is punished.
Sana cries. Aira is scolded for making her sad.
The house slowly stops being hers.đ«
Rayen: "Aira, stop being jealous. She's had it harder than you"
Her mom: "You're the older one. Learn to share-your toys, your space... your place"
Her dad: "Don't be selfish, Aira"
And Aira? She never tells them about the night Sana ripped up her drawings. Or the time Sana cut her hair while she was sleeping. Because every time she tries to speak...
They believe Sana.
Present Day - Aira's Bedroom
She stares at her old stuffed bunny-now torn, stitched back together.
Aira (to herself):
'You took everything from me... And they gave you the knife'
'They made me a shadow to protect the girl they pulled from darkness. And now... I'm the one drowning in it'
'they all want yo protect that gril who comes from darkness they want to show that girl what family look like.... they want to give her family like, they care for her protect her spoil her...'
'but
in this process
they forget, yes they forget'
'They also have one daughter their - own blood - who needs love, care, support, protection... everything. But they forget that. They think she's strong, that she can handle it all. But they forget she was just a little child too... Didn't she deserve a family's love as well?'
'blood doesn't made family..'
