Chapter 1 ~ Perfect life?

Hey… Do you know how does it feel when there is too much of attention and too lack of attention? .... I do. My name is Kim. Well, it’s not my full name, but it’s a nickname or let’s just call it part of my name. I’m 20 years old, a university student and doing degree in the real estate management. Well, life is great. I mean my life. I don’t know about yours. But what I’m sure is, if you look at the right angle, your life looks great too. Do you know why I said my life is great? I have a nice parents, great siblings and cool friends. Isn’t that perfect? Let’s hear about them. My father, he is a property valuer. Works with the government, but at the same time he got his own company. He’s 49 years old. He is a fierce boss in his office. Caused one time, during my semester break, I worked with him and saw him scolded one of his staff. Pheww…., luckily it was not me. But still, he is a nice father. One of the things that I can’t forget till today what he had done for me was he bought me a helicopter, which was a toy when I was 7 years old. We were poor back then. Forget about my father. While my mother, she was a perfect women. She is 48 years old and I think she looked like she is 40 years old. She is the nicest women that I ever known and the greatest chef. She owns a company too. Well, not like my father, she is a nicer boss. Having breakfast with her staff, bought them things and treat her staff, just like her best friends. And for my siblings, I have 3 sisters! The oldest one is 26 years old. Just graduated from her master and doing PHD currently. And plus, she is married and even pregnant. Guess I’m going to be an uncle haaa.. next year. While my second sister, she is 24 years old. Also still studying and doing her master too. I’m kind a closed with her. And usually she knows almost all of my secrets. She is getting married on the first day of next year though. And my last siblings will be my little sister. She is 17 years old and taking an important exam this year. She is a playgirl I guess because I saw her, dated a lot of guys which one of them was scolded by me. Haha… I’m not really nice though. Good for her boyfriend, I hate them so much. Ughhh…., just forget about them. Let’s move on to my cool friends. One of my coolest friends was my roommate. He is the same age as me, which is 20 years old. He is taking degree too, but different major which was degree in quantity surveying. He has red eyes which look exactly like Sasuke’s sharingan in Naruto’s anime because he wears contact lens. I guess he likes red though. Not just his eyes, imagine his laptops, hand phones, mp3 players, mouse and even hard disk were all red in colours. Psycho isn’t it? But he is a nice guy and got a lot of fans too. Huhu… My other cool friends were my course mates and my other roommate. They were too cool to be described. (Honestly I’m just too lazy to type about them). Class was nice. But I’m kind a too busy with assignments. Well, that’s normal. So, isn’t my life perfect?

But, if you look deeper, it isn’t as perfect as it seems. When I was young, my friends like to make fun of me. They like to disturb my peaceful life at my peaceful place in school. But because of them, I’ve learn to make old people like me more compared to them which makes me the teacher’s pet. But, even if I’m the only boy in my siblings, I’m not my parents pet. Instead, I always get blamed even if I didn’t done anything wrong. While my parents, they were divorced when I was 15 years old. Haizzz…. What can I say? All I can do was to accept the fate. I know everything happen with reasons. If you ask me, I think my life was perfect when I was young, I mean before my parent divorce. Even at that time we live in poor, but it was a happy family with a lot of happy moment. But I guess I have lost faith in family and even love. My family is breaking apart like a glass pieces which was thrown and break even more. I heard my father is getting married and so is my mother. My oldest sister was married and my second sister is getting married too. And my last sister, I don’t know what will happen to her. And me, I’m not sure am I even ready for this kind of stuff. I mean, all of my family members are going to have a new family and plus their own family. It’s in human nature, usually, new things replaced the broken one. I just hope I have that strength inside my heart to face this lost, of my family members, which I love them so much.
