Chapter 7

I stopped in front of the lake near the village. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

I let out a bitter smile. I last saw this beautiful scenery when I sneakingly went out to meet Alex here. That's when we discovered how pretty it is during sunrise.

In my past life, Alex was so innocent and kind that he forgave me with my lies. He said he loved me because of who I am and he forgives me before breaking up with me because he has to leave going abroad.

His family knew of my relationship with Alex so they decided for him to live far away from me. He doesn't want me to suffer so he decided to separate and I think that was the time I offered him my all.

He took my heart and soul away with him.

That time, I fell so deep that I wasn't able to get up.

I was crazy in love with him,

They said when you are young in love, you are a fool.

And Yes, I was a big fool.

The past three days that I got to live here were bitterly happy.

I forced myself to act like I was before when I was young, Alex knowing me noticed a bit of change but he didn't mind, he said I looked much more mature and he likes it. I befriended all the people in the class and continued my facade.

I stayed for a bit before going back to the Orphanage, I used the back door and when I opened the door, I bumped in Madam Minchin, the strict supervisor of the orphanage. I greeted her.

'Where had you been?' She asked. 'I went out for an exercise Madam Minchin.' I answered with a soft voice and she nodded.

'Take a bath and help the kitchen for breakfast.' She said and I nodded.

I went back to my room to get my clothes and I saw the children are still asleep except for Becky who just opened her eyes.

'Good morning Becky.' I greeted.

'Morning Big sis Elisia. Is it time for breakfast?' She asked

'Nearly, I'll just go and have a shower, you go be a good girl and wake up everyone for breakfast and get dress.' I said and she did what I told her.

Spending my second time here in the orphanage made care of it.

Before I was a loner who doesn't talk to anyone so I didn't care but seeing this child makes my heart flutter. Maybe because I came to love children in my later life and they have a special connection and meaning to me.
