Bloom Within

"Ria!" Her mom shouted as it wakes her up. "Five more minutes!" she groaned and rolled away from her mother. "You're gonna be late for school! Do you wanna be homeless?" her mom said as she rolls her eyes. "Not everyone who doesn't study ends up homeless, some of them are businessmen now." she argues and finally got the courage to get out of the bed. "BE QUICK!" her mom shouted and threw her towel as she headed towards the bathroom. "I hate my life." she said looking at her reflection. Ria is an ordinary college student. She's hated by many and is addicted to technology. She doesn't really know why she is hated but one thing's for sure, Ruther doesn't hate her. Ruther is her childhood friend who appears to be physically unattractive but smart and kindness is his strength. Ruther was the one who stood up for Ria when everyone turned their backs. That is why Ria would definitely offer her life unto Ruther. *message tone* Ruther Our instructor arrived early. I hope Aunt Lia woke you up. I need to copy your homework. 9:53 AM "I hate this life." she said as she showered with thoughts flooding her mind. "Hey." a young man approached her. "Who are you?" she asked while playing with her dog. She is in a flower field, she is with her dog and also with the young man whom she felt comfortable. She looked at him and observed him. He was wearing a flannel, tattered pants, and is barefoot. "You creep me out." Ria said as she stood before him. "You'll never escape. Not now, not in a million years. You are now mine and I'll never let you go, Brianna." the young man whispered on her ear as she shivered. "I need to take a day off." she said to herself while soaking herself in the shower. "Ria! Hurry!" her mom told her and she rolled her eyes. "Ma, I won't study today! I need a day off for my mental health!" she shouted and her mom knocked five times which symbolizes to okay. Ria had a rough childhood. She is adopted by her "ma" and was abused before being turned in for adoption. She lived in hell for 6 years. She was molested, verbally abused and physically abused. Her past still haunts her until this day and she often thinks about it. Her biological father was drunk way back then. She was only four years old when her father tried to r**e her while she was wearing pajamas and doesn't seduce her. Her biological mother was even worse. She would make her feel uncomfortable and would take her nude pictures for it to be sold online in a pedophile's website. She would always compare her to others and forced her to strip in front of cameras. The day before she was taken by the government officials, her biological mother wanted her to film a sensitive s****l video between her and his father. She didn't really care about her. They were both addicted to drugs. In the year 2009, she got adopted by a successful businesswoman. It is her ma. Being rich may not be seen in her physically but it is in her bank account. Her ma was told about her past experiences and her ma took her because she pitied her. She made Ria take 10 therapies and 15 medications just to help her cope with trauma. At 2015, they successfully found Ria's biological parents. Lia wasn't even delighted and filed a case immediately. Lia made Ria's parents rot in prison before they died because of suicide. That is why whenever Ria told her ma that she would take a day off for mental health, her ma would always allow her to have days off. Ria got out of shower and headed to the dining area. There were a lot of foods but she only chooses dried fish as viand since it was her favorite. "Are you feeling better?" Lia asked her while gently patting her back. "Yes, sorry for being rude earlier. I am not a morning person." Ria answered and took a spoonful of rice. "It's okay love. Do you wanna pamper today?" Her mom asked. "No, Ma. I'll just rest." she said and hugged her ma sideways. Everything is perfect, I don't want any change.
