C9 Chapter 8

Why do I suddenly feel the same as a child? Because I make Mommy cry?

"Selena, Hija let's go inside. We can talk about this more inside. I promise your Mom and I will fix this." Daddy said more but I just shook my head.

"Why, Dad, don't you want them to know who you and Mommy really are?" I can already hear the whispering of people behind me.

"Let's talk inside so you can easily finish the problem I brought? What's the difference between what you tell me inside and what you tell me now, right? I'm already my hint as to how this will end, eh! I'm grounded ? What this time, can I walk around until I'm only inside the mansion? Or can I only go to the four corners of my room? And then the helpers will bring me food."

"Son, it's not like that..." Daddy answered.

"Dad, Mom... I understand the part that why you are addicted to work is for Kenzo and I's future. I received that part a long time ago, the only thing I don't understand now is why I am not happy? Yes, I am thankful You are now with... my real family. From being miserable, I am very grateful that you gave me a good life but why is that? Why am I not happy at the end of the day? My lack? It's my time for you to get a feeding program... help with my illnesses, attend a meeting at work but why are you gone when I need you? Don't you have time? Is it because you have found me that your obligation to me is over?"

"Son, it's not like that..." Mommy said crying.

"Why didn't Daddy answer you when I called you? I needed you that day but Kenzo and Marga picked me up? I don't need them! You are what I need!"

"I was with them that day, I told them not to answer your calls because I promised Mom and Dad to take care of everything." I looked behind me when I heard Kenzo's voice.

"But you are not Mom and Dad! They are what I need, not you!" I shouted at him.

"But I am your family too, Selena." Kenzo gave me a firm answer.

"I don't need you! I don't need you..." I answered him without emotion while looking straight into his eyes. But why do I feel that way, more on I say that to myself and not really to Kenzo.

"You don't even remember it's my birthday today! You focus more on helping other people! What about me? Does that mean that other people are more important than me, your own flesh and blood?"

"Selena stop this at once and let's talk inside." Kenzo said emphatically.

"I don't want to! I got nothing else to say and I'm sure if we talk inside, you'll just say the same thing that I'm gonna be grounded for being revel! For being scandalous! So, I don't want to waste time either. I'm starting to think I'm not that important to all of you, that even a simple happy birthday greeting, you guys can't say it. Or maybe it's just Yelena's birthday that you remember? Maybe you guys look for me all these years to clear your consciences for being careless and loosing me at a very young age!"

"Selena calm down, we have a party ready for tonight, for you and Yelena's birthday. We want to surprise you and to wish you a happy birthday tonight." Frustrated, Kenzo answered me, he even violently combed his hair with one of his hands.

"And you think I'll believe that excuse of yours?" My mind is closed for whatever reason they say. Kenzo narrowed his eyes at me that's why my other rants were hanging in the air.

"What's happening?" I heard a voice behind us. I just don't know who that is.

"Señorita Selena has really changed."

"Yes, he wasn't like that when he was working at the hacienda."

"It looks like he's rebelling, it's really different when it's my money, his behavior also changes."

I gasped violently and then turned my attention back to Mommy and Daddy. "Just forget it's my birthday... I'm not going to your party later." And I was about to walk away when Mommy called my name...

"Selena son..." He said sadly at the same time Kenzo also grabbed my arm so I stopped walking. I violently turned to him with a bad look.

"Where are you going?" He asked me firmly.

"It's none of your business!" And then I violently withdrew my hand from his grasp and he hung my hand as well. I could feel the looks of the people around us so I ran out of the hall, but I didn't know where I was going.

I thought that the scene was ending, but when I was going down the hill, I heard Kenzo calling my name one after another.

"Selena! Selena! Selena, wait a minute, let's talk!" I heard him say but I didn't stop running, I even sped up even though I was already slipping from what I was doing if I was hurrying down because this is my road now.

"Selena! Be careful!" He added. And I felt that his voice was getting closer, I couldn't help but turn around and my suspicion was right, he was about to catch up with me, so I started walking even faster, just in case I didn't notice that my rock was big. facing me in front of me, I tripped and then he fell down where I was standing.

"Ouch!" I complained at the same time as Kenzo called my name louder.

"SELENA!" I didn't even pay attention to him because I was now more focused on the pain I feel in my knee. When I looked, my knee wasn't just scratched, it was quite deep and bleeding. I immediately covered my knee with my hand if it was bleeding, because I also get a little soft when I see blood.
