      33 Tears - Aronk M.Saleem

      Chapter i

      Tokyo, Japan

      It was my first time on a plane, and I was leaving at 2 am. The thought of leaving my home and family was unbearable.

      The only thing I know is that I was leaving forever, who knows what will happen.

      My heart was about to break after saying goodbye to Aunt Isabell and Grace, but I fought back tears. Strangely, I can't shed a tear after my parents left me.

      As I boarded the plane, I felt as if I had entered a new world.

      Seeing the drop of rain as a symbol of my life, I sat at a window seat during a heavy rainstorm, feeling terrified.

      I put my headphones on and looked at the raindrop as it symbolized my life. There is a story behind every drop of rain. One of the drops had a shiny bluish color and it was the only one among them, a grandma was sitting next to me and said that whoever sees that drop will live the happiest life.

      I started to laugh and said Me and happy life? That’s just so wrong. She asked if anything bad happened and I explained what I have been through. She laughed and I wondered why was she laughing then she said

      I was being abused by my parents and they would always kick me out of the house at the age of 5 to get some money if I didn’t bring some money I would spend the whole night outside whether it was cold or hot. But look now I finally get to see my husband from Japan and I have the best life, forget the past, and live the present.

      I felt really bad and thanked God for what he has given me, I hugged the grandma and said that we both deserved a better childhood.

      the flight from London to Tokyo was 11 hours, so I slept for a few hours before waking up to see someone who looked like a gangster staring at me.

      While he kept staring at me for some time, he disappeared as soon as I went to wash my face.

      Where did he go?

      How can that even be possible? I washed my face and sat down again, but I couldn't sleep anymore.

      When we arrived in Japan and went to check in at the airport, I began to see the gangster again.

      I hid in the bathroom because I was terrified. I heard voices as I was hiding in the bathroom, including

      you will regret your life

      you will be dead

      give me your powers

      ––––––––

      While screaming, the security came into the bathroom to see if I was okay and the voices stopped as they entered.

      Everybody looked at me and asked if I was okay but I was not, I was thinking of having a better life, not a scary life.

      The moment I got out of the airport after checking in, I went outside to meet Ms. Hana, the owner of the apartment I will be living in. She was so nice to me and reminded me of Aunt Isabell.

      It was a crazy day, so I told her to send me the location and I'd arrive late so I could clear my head. I saw the grandma again she told me to always stay strong and not feel down, which is true but everything depends on time.

      After walking around Tokyo, I ran up to the sea. As no one was around, I was able to find a place near the sea where I could have my own space.

      As I admired the beautiful view, the sea started to have shiny waves toward me, which was a sign since my name Marilla means the shiny waves of the sea.

      My parents named me after my grandma, rest in peacGrandmama, I wish you were here to help me handle this life.

      I talked to the sea and got everything out of my heart, I had made only one promise in my life which is not to cry and drop tears.

      Since I was here in Tokyo, Japan wants to research my parents and find out if they are still alive.

      After everything that happened today, I smiled, and then I began to think about those voices and asked myself.

      Why
