CHAPTER 57

The first time that I hurt my brothers physically was when I was seven years old. Felix surprised me that time by wearing a scary mask so I punched him straight in his face. I never intended to hurt anyone physically, especially my brothers.

My parents saw me as someone who can never kill an ant. I am the image of a precious daughter who wouldn’t distress them in school. Who would not be brought to the guidance officer because she assaulted someone or cheated on an exam? A perfect daughter. Then that perfect daughter punched her brother in his face because she got scared.

I did not count how many sorry’s I said that time. I knew it was more than a hundred. The punch was hard enough to left a dark blue bruise below Felix’s eyes.
