Milena!..."

"You really don't have to leave. Not now, not soon." Madam Rio begged with tears in her eyes and Milena sobbed.

"I have no choice mama. I want to be free."

"But... aren't you still free here? I mean, we allow you to go out, to see the outside a little." The middle aged woman argued.

"Freedom. Not only to go out, hang out or see the outside. I want to go to school. I will be clocking nineteen soon and I don't have any certificate at all. I still want to work, do so many things." Milena explained and Madam Rio shook her head, not wanting to let go.

"Please, let me... Please!" She begged and she reluctantly released her, bade her goodbye.

It's not easy living in an orphanage at all, right from birth.

What's worse is no one wants to adopt me. They just suddenly scream by seeing the dragon - dark shaped necklace on my neck.

I removed it a time like that but I went through hell with this very severe headache and bleeding from the forehead, nose, ears and mouth.

Madam Rio has been a very nice woman. According to her, I was placed in a baby crib and placed carefully under a tree beside one ice cream shop - How ironical!

They should have just placed me in the thrash bin or immediately they gave birth to me and I wasn't what they expected, I should have been killed.

If they don't want have their hands dirty, they should have poisoned my food instead. What a lame story I have!

The orphanage is actually good and okay but no friends. I have such a bad fate that I am weird to everybody. No one wants to associate with me.

She dragged her two big bags that contained all of her clothes, shoes, slippers, foodstuffs, body cream, chewing gums, mirror and many other lady's things.

Looking back at the orphanage one more time, she suddenly misses her only friend that she made just a year ago.

That girl is really something!

"I love you Lena" - Maany would always block her while working or walking, always stalking her every single time.

She suddenly feels bad for not informing her only friend about her departure. Aiya! - she breathe out in relief.

'At least, she won't be living the life I lived' She thought.

****

'Wow!!' She mouthed, looking at the neat tarred road of the street.

Big and gigantic buildings, arranged and spaced shops, show centres....

"I love people minding their businesses" She smiled watching as people did their thing, not even minding her walking presence at all.

She suddenly collided with someone. So tall with her high heels, obviously. "Are you fucking blind?" The lady yelled at her.

Milena gasped. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were coming. Please, don't be crossed." She pleaded and the lady huffed.

"And you must be dumb to even plead." Milena's eyes widened.

'Dumb??'

"But I've already apologized. You don't need to insult me." Milena rolled her eyes.

"I'm Diana. You can't cross with me and go Scot free. Now, clean my shoes!" She ordered.

Right there, Milena slapped her!

"Miss, you should know how to talk and when to. You don't just run your blabbermouth just because you are rich." She made to walk away, dragging her bags with her but Diana pulled her back with her hair.

Milena almost screamed. "What the fuck! You dare talk to me that way? huh?" She pulled Milena's hair the more.

Milena smirked. She turned around, making her come directly to her face, smacked her butts with her own sandals and pushed her.

People watched from their shops but still didn't interfere. Interesting! No one would get to save her.

Diana angrily marched to her car with her red face. "You would regret this. I promise you!" And the driver rode away.

She walked to the one of the locked store and sat on the available chair in front of it, dragging her bags to her side. Who knows if there are thieves around.

Her eyes roamed around the street as she knocked into the door of her dreams.

She imagined going to high school, making many friends and coming to work in one of companies in the street - she smiled.

'I will try to make it come to pass' She nodded satisfactoryly.

"Someone should help me open my sweet." A little girl cried as she tried tearing the paper of her chocolate bar.

Milena sighted the girl and signalled for her to come closer. " What's wrong Barbie?" She asked, scanning the girl from head to toe.
