I killed someone.

Why?

Because…

She’s annoying

She pisses me off

She’s ugly

She’s dumb

I just don’t like her

I’m in my room, standing in front of the window while busy counting the stars in the night sky when someone knocked on the door. 

“Come in” I said while my eyes are still busy appreciating the beauty of the night

“Azria, Can I have a few seconds of your time?”Dad asked

“Oh? sure, Dad” I said and I finally looked at him

“Do you still remember your Aunt Kaia?” he asked while seriously looking at me

“Yeah? Your mistress.  What about her?” I frowned as I remember that woman

“She’s not my mistress!” Dad angrily said

“Oh, my bad. So, what are you trying to say? Just get to the point, Dad” I boredly said and rolled my eyes

“They are in the downstairs, they’ll be staying here for awhile because there are some…. emergency happened” Dad said in a low voice

Wait…what?! 

“WHAT?! NO! there’s no way that woman will stay here. I won’t let that happen! I disagree, Dad!” I angrily said. What the hell Is he thinking?! Is my mom joke to him?!

“ I don’t need your opinion, Azria. I’m just informing you that they’ll be staying here. This is my house and whether you like it or not.. they will stay with us.” He calmly said

“Mom just died! and here you are.. bringing your mistress in our house!” I shouted. I couldn’t help it but to cry, he betrayed my mom, he didn’t loved my mom.

“You know nothing, Azria. Be nice to them and just accept it or leave my house, your choice.” He said and left me crying

Why is he like that? Mom just died months ago! He’s being disrespectful

“ArggggHhhh!” 

I threw at the door everything I touched to let out my frustration when suddenly I heard someone say ‘Ouch’ I lifted my head to know who was it then I saw a girl at my age, skinny, pale and ugly. She’s holding a black old bag. I frowned when I saw that she looked at me like I’m the most pitiful human alive.

I raised  my eyebrow “Who the hell are you? Who give you the permission to just enter my room?!” I angrily asked.

“Ahmm, Sorry. I didn’t know that someone’s here. I’m Aziena Ramirez, Daughter of Kaia Ramir-“ I cut her off because her smiles creep me

“Oh, you’re the daughter of my father’s mistress” I mockingly said

“Uncle Ali said that this will be my  room for the…meantime” she nervously said.

“ I don’t care, GET OUT! FIND YOUR OWN ROOM!” I shouted but she didn’t move, she just stood there while looking at the mess I caused, like she didn’t hear anything. 

“I SAID GET OUT OF MY ROOM!” I repeated then she finally looked at me and when she noticed that I didn’t like her presence, she apologized and immediately leave.

That night, her nightmares started..

I didn’t treat her right

I never talked to her

She annoyed me all the time

She followed me everywhere I go

She acted like a sister, it pissed me off.

“Hey, Tito Ali’s calling you” I heard Aizeina said. I just rolled my eyes and I walked past her.

“Wait, Azria! I just want to give you something” She touched me! Eww

“Take your hands off me, please” I said while trying to calm myself.

When she realized that I don’t like being touched, she apologized and took her hands off me. 

“Ahm, I just want to give this notebook  as a gift” she said and handed me the thick vintage notebook

“What would I do to that stupid notebook?” I boringly ask while pointing the notebook

“Hmm, I wrote some quotations here that you can read when you’re sad” She said while showing that creepy smile again. 

“I don’t need that” I said and left.

I hate her

She’s always crying loudly at night

She’s so insensitive 

She stole my position in my Father’s heart

She’s the daughter of my Mother’s rival

“WAHHHHHHHH! MAMAAAA” 

“MAMAAAA!”

“WHAT HAPPENED?!”

Here we go again, that girl ruined my sleep because of her loud crying! She’s crying every night for Pete’s sake! Her room just in the next door that’s why I can hear her noises. My Father just letting her disturbed our sleep! 

“ArgghHh! I hate her!”

One time, my Father needed to go abroad for his work

Coincidentally, Her Mother also has to go for some I-don’t-care emergency 

We left alone in the house

It’s my chance to make her life more miserable

So I planned something…

I ordered her to go out and buy me a pizza, at first she’s hesitant but later on she agreed.

“I’ll be good  to you if you can buy me what I ask” I devilishly said while my arms are crossed.

“Oh, really? Ok, start being nice because I’ll come back with your pizza” she said while smiling, eww

“Here’s the money, go” I said and closed the door.

After she left, I went to her room to start my plan. I’ll make my Father believe that she stole my necklace and his attention will be mine again. I’m looking for a nice hiding place for my necklace when I noticed the thick vintage notebook that she wanted to give to me. 

I opened it and the first page says ‘Ready your tissue’, I got curious, So, I turn it to another page.

It’s not an  ordinary notebook, it’s her Diary!

I dropped the notebook after I read unimaginable truth.

“She’s a deaf..” I murmured, still processing what I had discovered

I run as fast as I could. I have to find her, it’s dangerous for her to be alone in the street. 

After 1 hour, I found her in the opposite side of the street holding a boxes of pizza. I sighed in relief. I waved at her and shouted her name. When she finally noticed me, she happily waved back and excitedly ran towards me.. that she forgot that  there was a car approaching. 

“AZIENAAAAAA!” She couldn’t hear me and it’s not because of her deafness.. 

I’ve been staring at her Diary. Her Mother gave this to me, said that it is really for me. 

*sigh* 

“Should I read this?” I asked myself for the nth time

I opened it and I read every words that she wrote. It’s all about her encounters with me, she’s complaining, she’s hurt but she hid it with her smiles. In the last page of Her Diary, there’s a letter for me.

Dear Azrialein,

Hi Lein! It’s really hurt being forgotten by the person you cherish the most. Out of all people, why me? Why did you forgot that I am your Zien, your bestfriend? We’re bestfriends since the day we born. My mother was the bestfriend of your Mom, she’s not your Dad’s mistress just like what you think. 

Since that day, everything changed. It was your Mom’s birthday when you called to ask for help to buy a gift. You’re super excited to give the gift to your Mom  and you forgot that you’re in a road. I ran as fast as I could to saved you but unfortunately, we were both hit by a car. I’m thankful that we did survived but  I lost my hearing and every night, I suffer from headaches and I couldn’t hear myself crying loudly in the middle of the night. I feel so depressed that I just wanted to die. 

 Weeks ago, your Mom passed away and it really broke our heart, especially you. You loss our memories together because of Depression. You forgot me. So, I’m here to make you remember me. I’ll stay with you and I’m willing to do anything for you to recognize me again.

Your Bestfriend, 

Zien

After reading the name ‘Zien’ I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. How could I do that to the person who saved me? For the person who cherished me.. I don’t know how to apologize for what I’ve done. I’m so sorry for the way I treat you, for the words I’ve said.. and for forgetting you. I swear that if we given the chance to be born in another life, I would never forget you and maybe life wouldn’t be so cruel to us. Farewell, my Zien.

I killed someone,

I killed my bestfriend…
