Chapter 17: The feeling of want

>Nena

I woke up and found myself on my bed. Lazily I looked around the room but found that no one was there in the big dark room.

A strange feeling of loneliness bubbled up in me but all I could do was sigh in disappointment.

I guess Ma’s gone. I wish she just stayed with us here. I would love it if we all lived like how normal families do.

I often think about normal families and how they live but I guess normal would never really come to me for a number of reasons.

I looked out the window, it was still night time but I didn’t feel like sleeping anymore so I got down from the bed and went out.

The house was quiet like how it usually is but oh well, I’m used to it.

I walked down to the outer corridor, it was made of wood with pillars at equal intervals. The pillars had some designs carved at the very top and very bottom while the rest was plain yet the simple small designs added a lot to its charm.
