i got a story.

once there was this girl that was born into a moderate family. her name was jane. when jane was born, she was taken care of by her grandmother. mainly because her mother didnt want to take on the responsibility to take care of her. so, jane without knowing anythng, went to live with her grandmother. as a young 3year old girl, she didnt know anything. thus, whenever she questions her grandmother on where her mother was. her grandmother would tell her- be a good girl&listen to granny, mom is not in singapore. this has always been the white lie that jane's grandmother has been using each time just to prevent jane from knowing the reality&to protect her own daughter. deceived for 2years, jane finally went into k1. one of the lessons that day, jane's teacher asked them to draw a picture of her family. jane picked up the pencil&started thinking on what she should draw. after thinking for quite sometime, she finally got her thought straight&realised that she hasnt had any impression of her parents. at this point of time, jane&her teacher had a conversation. the teacher, mslee, couldnt accept the fact that jane has never seen her parents before as there werent records of this child having a broken family. thinking that jane just wanted to use this as an excuse to get away from drawing, mslee decides to close an eye and to pretend to believe jane.

the reality dawned upon jane, thus, it sets jane's mind thinking. all she could remember was her parents not being in town. thats all. she has a rather vague memory of everything. she decides to go back&ask her granny for the truth. after jane questioned her granny, her granny knew that she couldnt defend for her daughter any longer&decides to ask her daughter to come down to settle this problem. instead of bringing jane back home, jane's mom said this straight into jane's face- im not bringing you back&i have been in singapore for all this while. for a young girl to face the cruel fact at that point of time seems hard&moreover it was too harsh.

jane was taken aback at what she heard. her mom cruelly left without waving goodbye. jane started blaming her granny for lying to her. thus, she also confide in those around her. her cousins&her friends. then became extremely close. the memories that she shared with them are not what she can get if she have returned to her mother's place. soon, her granny's sincerity of apologising for lying changed her impression. after that day, she had a pleasent childhood. or rather one that no many kids would have.

she went into primary school&life has always been fine for her. until she encounter the first death- her grandfather. he was diagnosed with cancer&after fighting the virus for a period of 3months, he passed away. before he died, he told jane to move on in life&to prove those people. he also told her to treasure&love those around her before its too late. she didnt really understand what he was saying. but she just nod her nead&watch him die.

after his death, jane's grandmother sunk into depression. thus, she had no choice but to return to her actual home to stay. she thought that it would be fun, but who knows? it seems to much worse compared to her granny's place. she stared hating her parents badly, expecially her mom. she had 2 younger siblings, they were all on the mother's side.

in her primary school days, jane met this friend&shared everything with her. both became best friends&they shared magnificent memories together. it was only till jane was in primary5, this friend of hers have to leave for america. having to wave goodbye to such a good friend was too painful for one that have suffered so much. just when she was recovering from the hurt, she faced the second death. one of her church friend has lukemia. she promised him to do something for him and so, this friend was awaiting for the result. but on the deathbed, when he asked about the promise. jane totally forgotten about it. it had totally slipped of her mind. he passed away, with a wish not granted. jane then learnt another lesson- never break promises. then before this friend died, he also mentioned something to her- treasure&love those around you.

it then brings her back to when her grandfather passed away. she suffered 2 blows at a time. life for her at that point of time was very dark. months after that, she faced the third death. jane's uncle passed away. he was a distant relative, but his relationship with jane isnt as distant as the rest of her cousins. as he was jane's grandmother brother. he often drop by at her house to chat with jane's granny. thus, she meets him more often. she respect him tons&before he died. he ask her to brace up&the same piece of advice- love&treasure those around you.

jane went into secondary school. life seemed fine only when she was in secondary school. still unable to get out of the hurt that her best friend left for america. she found someone who could replace her in her heart. but things got worse&she was equally hurt. she told herself never to give up but the thought of giving up seemed always in her head. she had a friend in the school that she respects alot&often give good advices. she often confide in her thus became close. mistaken by that friendd, things seemed more vague than before.

now sorry is only what the both friends could say to each other. asking each other to take care. both have few words to say. whenever there is only the 2 of them, there will be slience. jane hates being the invisible party. she really hates it. but she doesnt complain each time she was treated that way. she kept everything to herself till she didnt know what and how to go about solving this matter.

jane was happy to found one important to her. yet on the other hand, she was afraid to get hurt. her life mixed with other issues/events, turned out to be horror for her. yet she still continues to live on hoping for a change. she doesnt dare to have high hopes for she is afraid to get hurt. the story ended when jane sent her home in front of the lift, passing her the second packet of m&n. jane have decided to take the first leave.
