The Journey of Starla Love

Searching for Home

Daniel continues to tell stories about his past.

"Nana had a small house where she lived before moving into our house. He took me there, and even though the house was small, I loved it. But I can't eat or sleep or play. I want to learn to be something. So I started going to different schools and started living a simple life.

Simon put me in martial arts class and I tried to learn judo, karate, jejutsu, taekwondo and all the others.

I have to be strong. I should be better compared to that Black Viper.

Nana Mukai worked so hard for me. I feel bad for him. He tried to feed me, but I still couldn't eat. He kept trying to encourage me, but nothing seemed to work for me. I cried because I missed my parents.

Then one day the driver who had worked for our family left his job because there was no more work for him in my house. She came to Nana's house and looked very sad. He told us that Simon had been killed too and that perhaps the bad guys would come to him as well as Nana. So he was going to leave this town, but it didn't work out for him.

Those bad guys didn't want anyone who knew my parents alive and that person started to create chaos and traumatize me and Nana.

Nana again tried to hide her fear in front of me and told me that we would be fine. But I could see from inside his eyes that he knew that the bad guys would also come to him and maybe he would be killed too. I can't hold all this anymore. I just hope this won't happen again.

That's enough I have. Why should everyone close to me die?

I only have Nana and I can't let anything happen to her.

'Nana let's move.' I said as I pleaded with him.

'That's all useless sir, they'll find me.' replied Nana. 'so you have to go.' he continued.

'no, I can't.' I shouted

'They want to kill everyone and they will kill me too.' Nana said.

That night Nana tried to feed me again. At that time he tried with a face that was so sad and it also made me melt.

'Maybe this is the last time I'll feed you, sir. Do you want me to die thinking because I can't feed you for a few days? I will never be able to calm down, sir. Please don't do this to me Nana said.

'stop Nana, you're not going anywhere.' I shouted and ate right away with her hand feeding me after so long.

A few moments later I started to feel so dizzy.

Is it because I ate for so long that it made me feel sleepy or Nana put something in my food.

'Nana, what are you....'

And I didn't even notice.

The next thing I knew was that I woke up in an unfamiliar place. And I soon learned that I was in an orphanage.

Two days later, there was news in the newspaper that a housekeeper named Nana from the family of John Walkers was found dead at his home.

I felt like they wanted me dead, so I ran away.

Now, look what am I?

I was a nobody, just a teenage boy who had no money, no family, no place to live, no food.

So here I am, on the street.

How can I fight the Black Vipers like this.

No one would let me work anywhere because I was too young to work.

By asking people for a little money, that's what makes me buy food to survive.

I finally learned about how the outside world is so brutal. No one has given me any kindness. They just want to push me. Those people on the street started bullying me. Asking me to sell drugs, also started fighting with me. But I had the opportunity to use a little bit about what I had learned from martial arts. But they're always so many. Sometimes they are adults and teenagers, sometimes they are men in the drug world.

I was so scared, but I had no choice. So I have to stay strong. I have to avenge my parents.

I kept getting beaten up, but I didn't give up. So that's when you find me. Thank you for listening to me so patiently Brother." Daniel finally finished his story.

Daniel took a tissue from the table and wiped his tears. I didn't even realize that I was crying too. I feel like my heart is hurt.

'Why him? He was just a little boy. Why would he have to face all those situations alone.' I thought to myself.

Nothing could replace her pain and all the things she had been through. I tried to figure out how I could help her, just as she started talking to me again.

"Don't think too much and don't worry about me sister, I'm fine. I am so happy that I have been able to share all my stories. I'm happy because my brother listened to me. Maybe this is all fate to me." Her speech.

"Don't say that Daniel. You have so many things waiting for you. After so many storms come there must be a rainbow behind it all. Don't lose hope. I'm here for you now, you're no longer alone. You have a sister." Saying to him.

"All right, thank you. Now let's go to find a home for sister, we've spent a lot of time here."

After saying that, Daniel took my hand and took me out of the ice cream shop to see some of the houses that were rented out.

We sat on a bench feeling so exhausted looking around and not satisfied with the rooms. A beautiful woman of about 25 to 30 years old appeared in front of us and asked us.

"Miss, are you looking for a house to live in?" Ask the woman.

I was surprised to think of whether he came from where and who he was. How did he know that I was looking for a house?

"Yes, does it look so obvious? How do you know I'm looking for a house?" I asked confused.

Seriate....
