Chapter 03

Lorenzo: Good morning daughter

Isabella: Good morning, father, mother I said placing a kiss on each one. I didn't see them coming to me at breakfast table

Marcele: We arrived very early. How is it now with the school back, excited? She asked ironically, smirking, she knew that it wasn't.

Isabella: So much that I don't even feel like going to school, I answered rolling my eyes

Marcele: you should think more positively, look at the full half of the glass, it's the last year of high school after all.

Isabella: oh ok, a mixture of relief and despair would define me now, I said thoughtfully and everyone smiled at the expression I made

Lorenzo: I have to go Cele, bye daughter, my father said goodbye by placing a kiss on the forehead of each one of us, then my mother and I stayed a little longer at the table talking

At the end of the class, the girls and I walked towards the parking lot, in the first class as we got back to school one of the teachers had already gave us an assignment that would literally be a hard work to do, young students suffer. I got in the car and went home .as soon as I arrived, I went straight to my room as usual, took a shower, put on my pajamas, made a loose bun in my hair, put on my flip flops and went down the stairs towards the kitchen. Thanks to Aunt Luh, lunch was ready, my parents had not yet arrived for lunch and as I was hungry, I made my dish, I sat in the living room and watched some TV and soon I went to Rafa's house to do the assignment

We spent about an hour and a half doing the job and when we were done, we went to the mall. We walked a lot, we did some shopping, we smiled and talked, I loved being with Paula and Rafa, they were the joy of my days, which were very lonely, although I used to get used to it sometimes, I wondered what it would be like if I had brothers or sisters.

Marcele: sweet Daughter? She said coming down the stairs interrupting my thoughts.

Isabella: Hi, you came early today.

Marcele: I'm going to travel with your father again, to solve a problem that arose she said and I sighed

Isabella: oh ok, as always, I answered seriously.

Marcele: No dramas please. I have my obligations

Isabella: Yes, I know which ones ...

Marcele: Isabella!

Isabella: Mom! I rolled my eyes.

Are you leaving today?

Marcele: Yes, we will spend a few days there, but soon we will be back.

Isabella: aha… I muttered

Hours later, dinner was served, we spent the night together, as a family, talking, smiling from time to time, it was like that almost every night when my parents are not traveling, we always have dinner together, watch movies, and so on. But when they travel, I am completely alone, my relatives live far away and we don't even have much contact with them, I always count on Rafaela and Paula at those times, they always stay here with me. I kind of understand the busy life of my parents, taking care of several companies at the same time is not easy, there are many obligations, sudden trips, and the two of them always go together since they are the managers, thus both of them got what we have today. I can't complain, they give me everything I need and whatever I want, the problem is that I got tired, I got so tired of missing them, wanting to feel closer, always being alone, they didn't even look like real parents, but anyway, who knows, someday things would change, who am I to stop the progress, in the meanwhile, life goes on.

9:30 pm I was not sleepy, I took my guitar, some pillows and put them on the lawn a little near the pool. I sat with my legs crossed and the guitar on my lap.

A moonlit sky, beautiful, starry and little bit cloudy, a cold wind was running, but it didn't bother me to the point of getting me out of there. I was there alone with my thoughts. I closed my eyes and started singing (Love Is Waiting). People say that I sing divinely, well, and that I have a fine voice, and I loved doing that, singing is one of the best things in life, I freed myself there, in the lyrics of the songs, in the sound and the voices in tune with the guitar notes, that dispersed me from everything, only God knows how well It made me, how much it inspired me, it made me happy, it even seemed to make me lighter, it was what took me away, without taking me off the ground.
