The Rich Also Cry

#introduction# ***************** in our day and age, we cannot live without money, one can argue that, money is what makes this world go around. But I disagree to this, since it was this taste for money, that lead to all the compromises and break down of my family. I didn't blame them though, Imagine living in a society, that loves money, loves having money and worships them. You will be tempted to do same. what I blamed them about was choosing that over me. My parents decided to value money more than me. This not only affected my relationship with them, but also theirs. The time together as couples, with family and even their health was also compromised. They never stopped to think about me. Was I happy with it?. what I liked to do and what I don't like to do. The food I am very much interested in and what I dislikes. It never occurred to them to ask. what I needed was love. I wanted our family to be happy, even if it was just us, I would have been happy. Anytime I went out with my friends, I get back home early, they will be talking about things I never experienced before. I wanted to tell them about my experiences too, like, today we did this, we did that and sought of. I never got that chance, they got deluded into thinking that, if they reach a certain status of finances, they would spend time with the other things. But unfortunately for us, my dad and i, my mom passed away in a car accident. The most shocking part was, she was with someone in the car. If my dad didn't care about me before, now he doesn't even value my existence. He believe my mom cheated on her, all the anger, punishment and questions which was to be directed to my mom came to me, since I was her daughter. what worse, today, he asked me to get prepared. Guess what, I am getting married, that too with someone I had never met before. He doesn't care if I am going out with someone or not. He never asked. Audrey!!, Audrey!!. The glass is full, you are making a mess here again, Kelly yelled. oops! sorry!. I said as I woke up from my delusion. what is wrong with you?, you are spacing out again. oh nothing, I am just tired. I guess I need to ask for a leave... I guess I need to get my ear checked, because I am hearing things today. Audrey are you okay?, is everything good?.
