XERYL'S FAMILY
With that question , a series of knocks coming outside of her door . It looks like if she didn't open it , the door will break with that noisy knocks . She walked slowly with her tiny legs and climb a small ladder for her to open the door since her height is not like other 5 year old . Since she was always abused , her height and weight has already stunted and she looks like 3-4 years old . She opens the door and see a middle-aged woman with a frown on her face .
" You !! It's already this late and you're still not doing your works !! Get out now or you will not ever got your meals for the day !! "
The woman got away after she said her piece of words . That was Denice , a maid in her house . Yes .... she was treated much more worse than a servant . Even her room was the furthest and smallest in the house . This was supposed to be a servant's room but her dad put her in this room since she was 3 , and she only got to know when she's older that other servant's room were much bigger than her's .
She is a child but that doesn't mean that her dad exclude her from housework . She has to complete her works so that she can get her meals or else she will be starved . Sometimes , even when she did her works , if her dad said no , then she can't touch even a bit of food .
She hurriedly washed herself and changed to a maid's clothes . She bandages her hand thickly so that it doesn't hurt when she does her works and hide her left eye with her bangs . She gets out of the room and picks up lunchboxes on a kitchen table which her family's chef already served . Her routine is to serve her brothers because all the servants were scared of them , she was the one who volunteered to do that since she can saw her brothers all the time . Sigh ..... how can she be different from all the past Aria's when she still stuck to her brothers . She run to the front gate where her brothers stand between the car while saying goodbye to her dad .
" Bwothers !!! Hewe is your luchboches .. "
( Brothers , Here is your lunchboxes )
Tsk . She forgot that when she was 5 , she was tongue-tied and can't speak properly yet .
Her eldest brother saw her and cursed when she give the lunchbox . Out of her three brothers , her eldest brother is the most good looking and the cruelest towards her . He despised of the fact that he needs to see me all the time but I still treat him well because I loved him .
" Hey ! Don't touch my meal with your dirty hands ! "
He snatch them from her hands make her stumble a bit but she is fine because she's used to it . That was Myler Xeryl , her first brother who turns 11 this year .
Another hand snatch the lunchbox from her and she stares at her second brother who doesn't even peek a glance at her . That was Lysien Xeryl who turns 9 this year . He was the type who doesn't talk much especially with her , the creature he hates of .
Another hand pushed her while taking the lunchbox making her fall and worsen her hurt hand .
" Violet trash like you doesn't have the right to be with us ! "
That was her third brother , Cheryl Xeryl who turns 7 this year . He was young but his words are not . He likes to make trouble for her especially when she cried . His name resemble a girl but that was solely for making his name rhyme with the last name , Xeryl . Being the youngest , her dad granted every wishes of him and Cheryl was the one usually mess with her dad's decision for her .
The car finally gone with the destination of her brothers schools . She can't afford to go to school at 5 with her family abusing her . She remembered in her past life , her dad told her to go to school when she turns 10 because he doesn't want people to know about his terrible attitude towards her .
She finally stand up after confirming that her wound is okay . She looks at the man behind her who doesn't have any slight of intention to help her .
" Aria ! " He speaks ..
" D—daddy ... "
" You make your masters mad , you can't have meals today ! Repent for your actions ! "
Her dad left with that words ignoring the obvious wounds that inflict her after falling .
That was her dad , Veylor Xeryl who doesn't even regard her as his child .
Hearing that she can't have any food today , she run towards her dad with teary eyes .
" D–dad , Awia is sowwy , awia wants to eat too , daddy ..... awia ... food ..... "
( Dad , Aria is sorry , aria wants to eat too , daddy ... aria .... food ..... )
She begs while hiccuping through her cries . Just look at her skinny legs and hands , her hollow cheeks , how can she survived without foods ?!
She held her dad's tip of clothes while hoping for forgiveness .
Inside the house , Veylor pushed her at the front door and slapped her .
" Denice !!!! Put this girl in isolation room ! She needs to reflect her actions through and through ! "
Denice comes running with her master's words .
" Y-yes master ... I'll do it .. "
She pulled Aria hardly paving her way to the basement .
Aria is still crying and her voice becomes muffled when she hears isolation room .
" D-dad .... F-fatherrr ... Awia sowwy .... awia sowwy .... sowwy .... swave awia ..... da—daddy ..... "
( D-dad .... F-fatherrr ... Aria sorry ... aria sorry ... sorry ... save aria ..... da—daddy ..... )
Denice pushed her to the basement and locked her there . She smirks at Aria as if she's saying she deserves to be there . Basement is called as an isolation room . Her dad usually punish any servant who's not following his words with locking them here . Just one hour being there make anyone goes crazy . There is no sunlight , nothing , her dad especially warn the servants to not clean this ' isolation room ' to scare the servants who misbehaved .
Among them , she was the frequent visitor here , why ? of course , no matter what she did , everyone just wanted to punish her . Even so , she will never get used here , it was scary , dirty and there was a rotten smell here . There was a story that said there exist a dead person here which was a past servant who got locked for month and died .
She hugs herself and convince herself again and again .
Aria ... it's okay .... daddy loves you that's why he puts you here , first brother loves you that's why he hit you , second brother loves you even though he hated speaking with you , third brother loves you that's why he pushed you . It's okay , it's okay , everyone loves you ...
She repeat that again and again until she fell asleep sitting infront of the door .
In her dream , she saw that again . The past Aria .
' Aria ! Are you stupid ! I told you not to budge ! Why are you convincing yourself with the lies again !! "
But that was not the lie .... She believes her family loved her ...
' Love ?! Are you realized what are you saying ! Wake up !! You are in the isolation room now with no foods ! Look at your petite body ! They won't love you !! Violence is not affection , Aria ! Wake up !! '
She wakes up with a ragged breath . The past Aria said violence is not affection but she believed that it was some sort of love .
' Run , Aria , run .... This is your 5th life .. if you truly want happiness this time , run .. Aria .. '
That was what other Aria said before she escapes from the dream .
She loved her family and she believed that her family loves her , how can she run ? Why can't she put the last hope ? It is easier said than done . Her whole self depended on her family , her whole feelings stuck to her family , it was hard to digest what other Aria said ...
Running away ... ? With this small child body .. ?
