Chapter 3 Leave

Chapter 02

Leave

My eyelids were sore and I'm still crying because something bite me.It's really hurts and I don't know who put it inside of my shirt.

"Who is the one who put insect inside of Melody's T-shirt?"Sister Rosana asked the children.

"Not me."Cloud answered

"Me too.I cannot do that thing to Melody,she's kind to me."Stephanie answered too.

Everyone said that it was them and Sister Rosana sighed because she knows every children here will never tell it.We have pride now and that's why sometimes we don't confess to something.

"It's okay,Sister Rosana.I'm fine right now.This is nothing."I said to her while smiling to prevent her to worry about me.

"Are you sure?"she asked and I nodded since it's just an insect...insect that cannot kill me.

"Do you think Kalliene is the one who put insect to Melody's T-shirt?"Stephanie asked Cloud who's eating Peppero.

"Hmm...maybe,you know that she has insecurities to Melody because she's disguising that she's kind but the truth is not."Cloud explained before bitting the Peppero.

"You have this kind of attitude,huh?You didn't even offer us if we want to eat Peppero."Stephanie said while grinning.

It's look like she's preventing to annoyed to Cloud's attitude.Sometimes she cannot stand Cloud's attitude but me...I can stand it sometimes I have that kind of attitude.

"You're not the one who bought it,Stephanie."Cloud defended himself.

"You have such annoying attitude,Cloud."

"Atleast I'm handsome..."

"Handsome,your ass."

They are like cat and dog and I'm just letting them.In the future,they may end up together.Who knows...right?

"I can feel there's something wrong with Kalliene these past few days.She's acting like she's angry to you,Melody."Stephanie said while eating Peppero.

I looked at Cloud who's pouting and stamping his feet without a sound like a child.Stephanie beat him because of his attitude towards us especially to Stephanie who's have a hot head.

"I can sense something with Kalliene.Remember when Ashton confessed to you...she look angry and sad that time.She might planning something,Melody.So be careful."Cloud agreed to what Stephanie said.

"But...I don't like,Ashton.I don't like his personality especially his attitude.He thinks that every girl can fall in love with her."I stated the truth while having a serious expression on my face.

"Well...he's such an airhead like Cloud."Stephanie agreed and she include Cloud's name.

"Atleast,I know my limit of being a airhead,Stephanie."Cloud disagreed to what Stephanie said.

"Limit?You don't even know that,Cloud."

"I know that and I know what is the definition and how to use it in a sentence.Do you want a example,hot-head?"

"Do you think I'm dumb,airhead?"

I just sighed while watching them arguing on nonsense things but for them it's has sense.Actually,they have a good chemistry.A common couple in fictional stories...love- hate treatment and it's cute to see one in real life.

I'm walking in the hallway to go to our room.I stopped walking when I heard something on the office of the nuns.I know that it's wrong to listen to older's conversation but I cannot help myself.

"Our funds for the children is going down.We must take an action to solve this."

"Why do we always end up like this?"

Is there something wrong with the orphan house?It might be a serious problem and I'm might be afraid if we should sacrifice for the other children.

"Karissa killed the biological daughter of the CEO and the people who saw and heard about the news is having a crab mentality and they saying that it's our fault."

"We raised Karissa well and she did it because of the jealousy and insecurities to the biological daughter.She didn't feel thankful to the couple who adopted her to give her a wealthy life."

Karissa...she's one of us.She's same as my age and it's been 2 years since she left here.I don't know why she can do that kind of thing.And,I know that she's kind even thought sometimes some of children is bullying here.

Jealousy and insecurities...these are the reason why other people can killed anyone.If you feel this,you will only drag yourself in the pit of the darkness,ending up doing something bad and sinful.

I quickly run to our room and they shocked when I open the door loud.I catch my breath and they look confuse because I really don't run.I'm so lazy to run.

"Guys,this orphan house have a big problem."I said while still catching my breath.

"A big problem?What is it?"Stephanie asked me but I gesture to her to called the boys.

She nodded and immediately go to the boy's room.Girl is seperated to boy so that's why I cannot tell to them without the other.They need to know about this.

"What happen?"Cloud immediately asked when he enter to our room.

When we secured that door are locked.I sighed...a deep sighed and they really look confuse.

"We need to sacrifice for the other children."

"What do you mean,Melody?"Kalliene asked me.

"This place have a problem with the funds.It's seems like the government will never give us fund because Karissa killed the biological of the CEO...the one who adopted her.It's is because of the jealousy and insecurities."I explained to them and they look.

Karissa is a kind girl but the jealousy and insecurities let her to do something bad.That's why I really don't want someone adopt me.It's better that I'm still become a orphan than having a family that cannot treat me well.

"Why do we need to leave her?Why do we need to sacrifice?"Kalliene asked,the sadness is written in her face.

"We're the older ones here,Kalliene.The younger ones still need the care of the nuns.They still need the nuns to grow wisely and kind."I answered.

They agreed to what I suggest but we should pick the children who is 11 years old and 12 years old...same as me,Stephanie and Cloud.

"You don't need to sacrifice."Sister Rosana disagreed to our idea but we cannot back out now.

"Sister Rosana,we already made up our mind.This is for the future of the younger ones.They still need your guide to become a wise and kind person.We can sacrifice and we already know what is the wrong or right,Sister Rosana."I said trying to persuade her.

She just sighed and genuinely smiled to us.The tears are on the side of her eyes.I know that it's hurts to let us go and sacrifice us.But this will help this orphan house in the future.

"I understand,Melody.You're right...you already have mindset right now.So...always remember that we love you.If you think coming back here,you can back and we can accept you with an open arms."Sister Rosana said while crying.

A farewell is hurt but the farewell that unsaid is really hurts.Like what happen to me and my Mom.She didn't have a good farewell to me but she give me a remembrance so that I cannot forget her.

"It's feel like a dream.I cannot believe that we need to sacrifice."Stephanie said while gazing at the orphan house who raised us for 12 years.

"Well...some people need to sacrifice even it's hurts.Sacrificing it's like giving someone an opportunity."Cloud agreed while fixing his bag.

I smiled while watching the younger children playing.We need to leave because we need to sacrifice.In the end,sacrificing is not selfish...it's proving that you can live without them.

Leave and sacrifice...the two words that I can do.
