Chapter 48 : Aunt Kira

Vika's POV

I closed the diary, biting my lips to hold my tears.

The entire diary recorded the life of my mother, Krisha, interesting stories with her younger sister, and a sweet life with her husband.

I had an aunt.

My mom lived a happy life with my dad. My parents… They loved each other so much, even though their marriage was arranged. That was true love.

And me... They had loved me so much, much more than I imagined.

The tears rushed out of my eyes. A few days after they wrote their first letter to me, my parents were killed by Vadon. There was no possibility of our family ever being reunited again.

Asher brushed my tears on my face, kissed my forehead, and said, "They loved you, Vika."

"I know." I hugged Asher back.

"All their dreams for you came true," Asher said.

"What!?" I asked. "How can you say that? I'm not the leader they wanted me to be."
