Different Indifferents

 Now, we three were sitting on the couch. Their eyes were fixed on me.  " As I told you, I have some news. Well, the thing is that.....that we are moving by the end of the week and I am going to....I am going to transfer from school too". Their surprise was clear in their eyes and the place of surprise was late taken by sadness of losing or despair. Lucia asked me half angrily," When did you know?" "Yesterday evening and the house was chosen this noon". " And you are telling us now". " This is why I called you guys to spend some time together because in a couple of days, I would be busy again with the packing again. I wanted to spend the rest of the time with you guys since you are the only ones I have other than my brother. Are you really to get all worked up like this and it is also not that we will never contact each other ever again". She was pissed but she agreed with me and we decided to go to the amusement park again. We decided ...

 I sighed at the situation but gave him a nod. It looked like I had to start it all over again with my school, my friends and BPD or maybe not. I decided to tell him my side later on since he already had a lot on his plate. We ate dinner and went to bed right away. He told me that he would go to check the house from the next day and he would send the pictures of the shortlisted ones to me leaving the final decision to me. I agreed. The next morning, he left before I woke up and already left the breakfast at the table with a note attached to it saying that I should heat it up before eating. I did the same and went to my room. I decided to study for a while to overcome my backlogs of the last week. By the evening, Diego sent me pictures of two flats and I went for the second one. He also texted me saying that he would be late because of paperwork. I decided to call Lucia. She picked up at the second ring. "Hello". " Hey Lucia, how's everything going at home. Is everyth...

 Warm tears were rolling down my cheeks and my eyes opened. I was on the sofa. It was a dream and it was way too realistic as if mom was really there. But now, I knew what to do. I had to find my voice in this world in a way that everyone would know and appreciate me for my works. I finally had a goal. I didn't want to waste anymore time because that would make me weak. Now, I was waiting for Diego to tell him what I wanted to be and would start working for it right away. The rest of the day, I made lunch for myself in the middle of which Lucia called me to ask if she had to come. I did my lunch, it was nothing much. I made instant noodles because I was no pro at it. At around 7 in the evening, Diego came in, he was a mess. His hair were completely scattered. his tie was in his hands and his sleeves were folded upto his elbows. Before he could say anything, I told him to go and get fresh. After a while he came in his pajamas. He asked if I was hungry so he could make the dinner ear...

 I went downstairs and Diego was still there wearing something formal which was really rare for me to see him like that because he didn't like formal clothes at all. But then also everything which was happening was something that we didn't like. I looked at him, "Are you going to an interview or something?". He looked at me and told me that he was and would tell me the details after he came back. I gave him a nod and he left. Now, it was me alone again. I sat on the sofa because my leg was killing me now. I was staring at the TV which was off and my parents surrounded me again. My mom was in front of me, she gave me a slight smile and came over to sit next to me. She wrapped her arms around me and I could feel that familiar warmth in her touch. She said, " Anna, my sweetheart, nothing is permanent in this world. Neither you nor us, this is why we are not with you physically but we are always there even though no one is. So, umm you can think of it as a test that ...

 I called my brother," Diego, you should wash up first. You look terrible and as for the breakfast. I will make it and you won't neglect saying my leg is injured. I can at least stand at a place and make it. Now you go and wash up". He saw my serious face and understood right away that I would be pissed if he didn't agree with me and I was in no mood to quarrel so he agreed and left to his room. I had no idea what to make so I opened the fridge and sighed in relief that there were still bread left, at least enough for us three to eat. I decided not to make anything fancy but a simple breakfast of bread jam with a glass of milk. I took out the breads and toasted them. After a couple of minutes, it was all ready so, I took the materials and put them on the dining table. And I called out for them to come and have breakfast. My brother came down right away but Lucia was still not there. I thought she was still asleep so I thought that I could take her breakfast in the roo...
