The past's beauty, till it turns to dust.

"You bastard," said Sapphire while looking at me with no emotion but her aura is different. Her brown eyes are like the eye of a dragon ready to eat some meat. Is she trying to intimidate me? Tss, I looked back at her, you think I'll give you a chance? To insult me...

"What!? You're calling me a bastard!"I yelled, lifting up my left eyebrow then slammed the desk. I can see that all of the students here in this room are already trembling, but this woman, she's different. She just stood there, looked at me without a word. Still emotionless.

"Tss! It's not my problem, I can just throw that cake right into the trash. I am sleeping here then she's disturbing me and she insisted to give me her fucking mango cake!? Damn! Tss, women" I said while looking at the girl like Dora who's almost crying right now.

"Yes, your right. You have your own decision about what you will do to that cake, but..." stopped Sapphire and glanced at Dora then looked back at me. I stared at her in the eye saying what?

"This mango cake is not just like the others, it's priceless. Don't you know how hard to bake a cake? Learn to observe, looked her hand" she said. I looked at her hand, that girl like Dora has a lot of bandages on her fingers.

"Now, tell me. Does this cake is not important? That it is just the same cake as the others that you can buy in some stores? Do you know how it feels to a person who gave her best to make this cake just for a stupid person like you? What if you are in her position, what would you feel?" she said in a normal tone still with no emotion but it makes all of our classmates put their attention to her. Tss, I don't care about them.

The whole room became quiet and the girl like Dora stopped crying. But the thing is, I never looked away from Sapphire. How dare she insulted me and judge me like she knows everything about me?! I stood up and move closer to her to look straight.

"You don't know about my story! So you have no right to tell me how important the things that they made! Who do you think you are?! Your not my mom..."I replied to her with my angry voice, I didn't wait for her answer because it's just a piece of shit. I picked up my bag walk past her and left the room, I saw Mr. Lussac Mondenierre coming to our room, I just walked past him.

"Zire! Where are you going!?" he asked.

"Somewhere that you guys do not belong!" I answered and continue walking away.

I went inside the small garden, that me and mom named it Berngeon's Garden. Luckily there's no one here well of course because all of them are in their classes, I sat down in the grass in front of me is the small fountain. I took my phone out of my bag and chose one song to listen to. I plugged my earphones and placed the earbuds in my ear. I chose the song What a wonderful world the song usually sang by my mother to me when I was a child.

This is our favorite place. My dad builds this school because my mom wants to be a teacher. My dad really loves my mom, mom always does something precious for my dad. But something happened. Dad became cold to my mom, even the chocolate cake that mom baked for him, he didn't give any attention to this, he just put it in the trash.

Flashback

"Mom, what's that?" I ask. I saw mom busy studying the recipe book that she bought lately while holding a bowl and mix the chocolate inside.

"It's a chocolate cake. It's your dad's favorite." mom replied with a smile, I saw some maids standing there. I ask my mom, why don't just ask for help? But she replied that it's better to make a cake with your own efforts. So I decided to help mom baked this cake. Mom doesn't know anything about baking, but she studied the recipes for making this. We always made some mistakes, it got burnt, we forgot to add some vanilla extract and others.

But finally, after mom, got burned some part of her hands we finally succeeded. We took it out from the oven and designed it with vanilla whipped cream.

"It looks delicious, mom!"I yelled. Mom laughed then we heard Zyna cry. Mom instantly went near to Zyna to calm her. I waited for my dad in front of our front door. Then I saw a red Limo went inside our mansion, the butler opened the door of the Limo and dad went outside his car.

"Dad!" I greeted him. He just patted my head. And went inside.

"Dad! Mom made some cake for you!"

"Yeah.."

"Hi, hon!" greeted mom and she went near to my dad and try to kiss him on the cheek when dad stopped her.

"By the way, hon. I made some cake for you!" said mom. And I instantly took the cake and gave it to mom.

"Thanks, dear"

"Here, hon. I made this!" said mom. Dad looked at the cake, he crossed his eyebrows like he doesn't like seeing this cake so he threw it away. The cake we made for over an hour to make it perfect and putting a lot of effort and love into it, just went to waste.

After that day, I became far away from my dad. But my mom still loves him, I don't know dad if she still loves mom. Within 4 years mom and dad became cold to each other, and it's my dad's fault.

When I turned 11. My mom and I and also Zyna eat outside, We eat in Jollibee, I chose spaghetti and a burger. After we eat we went outside and head home, but then Mom and I were shocked when we saw dad inside his car kissing another girl. Mom instantly pulled our hands to get away from there, luckily Zyna didn't notice it but Dad notice us and instantly went outside, followed us to explain everything.

After that Mom decided to work in another country. She can't handle dad anymore, she can't handle the pain that Dad made to her. I tried to stopped her because I don't want her to go away but she still did, when she's inside the plane, the pilot said there's something wrong with the engine, and there's a missile coming to them. I still can manage to talk to mom before she died, before the Plane explodes.

Because of that. I became more rebellious to my dad. He didn't give any respect to my mom's death, she brings her fucking girl to our house and marries her after a month when my mom died. Zyna cares about this but she respects Dad's decision while me, I fucking don't.

That's why I hate my dad and her girl. He told me to call her mom, but I won't, I will never. And they both work out of town, leaving me and Zyna behind. Gladly, Aunt Six is always there for us, she's also a friend and a personal maid of my mom when she's still young. When Aunt Six knew what happened she immediately came back to our mansion. Then Aunt Six became our second mother. And I became more rebellious to my dad...

End of Flashback

I see trees of green...

Red roses too..

I see them bloom

For me and you...

And I think to myself...

What a wonderful world...

I can still remember her angelic voice. We always sing that song every time we are here. I just closed my eyes, forcing my eyes not to cry. I need to be strong. Zire, don't cry! You're a man...

"I hoped mom looking at me right now. Is she always here with me? If only I can't feel pain, and sorrow.. because I really hate it. I really hate that man. Because of him, my mom died, because of him, my family will never be alive, because of—" I suddenly stopped when I hear someone singing.

"I see trees of green. Red roses too. I see them bloom, for me and you. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world" with this voice, I knew she was a woman. "Mom?" Her voice, it looks like my mom. I stood up and search for the woman who's singing then I found a woman, singing in front of the flowers like she wants to entertain those daisies. A woman with black hair, like a boy cut. She moved her head, and I manage to see her face.

"Sapphire?"
