My father locked himself in his room for days in agony and pain of losing the woman he loved. Nanny had to take care of my needs, she was the only one I could rely on, If my mom had not gone to fetch the ticket she would not

have gotten into the accident which took her life, it was my fault I should not have insisted on going on a trip with her.

A stone drop from the tree hitting her forehead she shout (ouch) pick up the stone from the ground look up to see who threw the stone at

her, stunned to see Michael sitting on the tree.

He yell at her, are you a fool? How is it your fault your mother died in the accident? Did you drove the car? He jump down from the tree landing in front of her, he smirk measure her height by placing his left hand on Ami's head.

Ami punch his hand swing up in the air making it land on the tree, she immediately take two steps back from him, he shout out in pain livid at her, you have broken my hand.

Ami exclaim how can your hand get broken just by landing on a tree?, you want me to belief such lie?.
