810 Words
It's a summer again.
The time has come, our longest moment waiting for.
I'm not ready for my next step in studying.
I don't know, because I'm still doing what I wanted.
But at home there is not a day that does not clean and mess.
Gelo! Gelo!
Mama shouted my name from the kitchen while washing the dishes.
Wake up because what time is it oh!
Dad said to my older sister, the second one which is supposed to waking up me.
But, I didn't heard the calling because I'm still asleep.
Dad go to my bed and wet his hands with water, then it was rubbed on my face just so I would wake up.
And that's when I woke up.
But I'm was angry why Papa did that, but he just laughed like he didn't care.
And he said that: It really should be like that because what time is it and you haven't woken up yet.
Later, I got up.
I went to the Balon(Well) because we didn’t have a faucet, and washed my face with cheap soap.
I also brushed because I don't want anyone to smell my breath, it might still stink HAHAHA.
I was ordered to mop the floor, which was really tiring , because I covered the whole floor from the living room to the kitchen.
Then, I went to the back of the house, there were trees there, and I burned them.
it's afternoon , when I finish helping with housework .
But, I still don't have a bath.
Late at night, Mom cooked our dinner in the evening.
Rice and fish vinegar and that's what we cooked.
Prepare the plates and spoons!
Mama said for us to prepare for dinner.
My sister is trying to figure out who will do it.
Papa said, you're totally idle so you're the one to prepare the things for dinner.
while they are just watching Television.
It's against my will!
Perp, I just followed the order because mine is what will happen next if I don't follow it.
We had dinner, we all ate at the same time, and I also ate a lot so it added to my weight.
I'm gaining weight, but I don't care as long as I just eat.
I was again assigned to put away the food, clean the table.
So unfair.
They even scolded me for not wanting to hang out with my neighbor and play outside.
I also have neighbors who are bombers so I get beaten up.
I thought of going out but all that was just an intention, my imaginations as a child then did not succeed.
I only thought of those because of anger when I was scolded.
I was an oppressor of ours, so my parents witnessed.
While we were playing, they always not agreed with me.
I don't even have an ally.
Iit hurts me because when I have food they are very friendly.
But, when I don't, they ignore me as if I'm not in the group.
They take my advantages
I realized that what Mama said was right.
But, I still played with them even though they always not agreed with me and out of place.
I couldn't take revenge, because I was the only one to do.
Because of that, my parents always beat me because it's late when I go home and skip the food.
My feet were very dusty, and my clothes are dirty, my body is stinky smells because of playing all day long.
Here's the funny thing I want to share with too.
I still remember, it was the month of May and there was Flores de Mayo.
Thought if to attend.
My Oldest sister left an eyebrow.
So I went to thanks and fitted my eyebrows and under my eyes.
I made this eyeliner as well.
I was still very dressed and I still had a bag in the back with my clothes on.
Also, sexy dress. Unfortunately Dad got home early, so he caught up with me.
I was shocked that day and he scolded me.
He beat me hard and said I was gay.
She rinsed me with water to remove my makeup on my face while I cried over the pains of her stroke.
He asked why did you do that?
I said, I'm going to Flores de Mayo.
He beat me even more because I did that.
He said, I would go to church dressed immodestly and not in accordance with my gender.
He told this to Mama so they both scolded me more.
I was the only one in the house then because Mama left the house early and take sideline to earn money.
Because of that I have the freedom to do that kind of stupidity.
HAHAHA
That's my life , how my life was always that summer.
