My New Start

Dear diary,

Today was one of the hardest days of my life.

It started when I arrived at my Parents house for my sisters 16th birthday, I had her present that cost me $1200.00 and even a massive 3 layered chocolate and vanilla buttercream cake that I spent all week making.

As I had walked through the doors to the entry way I heard my parents talking in my fathers study, as I didn't want to disturb them, I walked passed and put the cake on the table in the dinning room, that's when I heard my sister and her friends in the garden.

I walked over to say "Hi", and that's when I heard my parents convocation.

DAD: "Look I don't care if she is your dead sisters kid, we have been raising her since she was 2 years old, she is nothing but a useless pathetic child who can't even get a good job let alone get married".

MUM: "I know that dear, but I promised my sister that I would take care of her, when she passed".

MUM: " There's not much I can do at this point, she really believes she is our daughter, what do you want me to do?".

DAD: " Get rid of her, I don't want to see her here anymore, tell her that she is adopted, I don't care, but Sasha has to go now before Layla gets too attached.

At that point I barged into the room, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT YOUR DAUGHTER, MUM?, AND WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH DAD? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?", I was furious and my shouting caused both my parents to spin around in shock, my sister Layla and her friends heard what had happened and came running in to see what was going on.

After they explained that I was the child of my mothers sister who had died due to an accident when I was 2, and that they brought me up as their child, made my blood boil even more.

I handed my sister her present and wished her a happy birthday before I turned around and left the house, I went back home and started crying while going through all of the memories that we had shared and not once did they show that I was not their daughter.

Dear diary,

It has been 24 hours since I found out I was adopted by my aunt and her husband, I don't know what to do anymore, all my life and my future plans included these people, and now I have nothing, I am now getting ready for a business trip that will take 3 months in China, I was going to ask them to see me off, and finally tell them what my job was, and that as I am now well off on money I was going to finally settle down and find a husband, but well that went sideways.

If all goes well with this deal, I may not come back to the US, I may just stay in China and find a new goal with my life, I may travel, or even find a new line of work, who knows all I know is that the people who I considered my parents, who I thought loved me, are now nothing more than strangers who thinks I'm a useless and pathetic human.

Dear Diary,

Its been a week since I wrote, I have just landed in Beijing, I'm staying in this wonderful inn, that has a hot spring just next door, the people here are so nice and welcoming, that I'm starting to feel better.

I've had no contact from them since the 12th, but at this point I don't really want to see or speak to them as it might ruin my mood.

Tomorrow is the business meeting and I'm hoping it goes all well, Wish me luck.

Dear Diary,

The meeting went wonderful, I am now back in my room and relaxing after having a nice bath at the hot spring next door, I saw this cute little kitten when I was walking around the inn, she was black, slender and very beautiful, I've not had a pet at all in the 24 years of my life, but now I think I would like to have a cat to keep my company while I work at home, I don't know, maybe I should think it over some more.

Dear Diary,

Its been 3 months since I have written anything, the meetings ran long and the talks seemed like they would never stop, honestly I'm happy that its all over now, we got the deal and the company is now starting a new branch over here in Beijing, and I have been offered the position of 'President', by the CEO, and I am so excited to start working along side the people here, and to get to know the culture better.

I have plans to sell my house back in the US, and find a property here in Beijing, they have some of the oldest houses up for sale, that is just a 45 minuet drive from the office we are setting up, its a beautiful landscape and the trees that surround the house are gorgeous, it costs a bit, but once I sell my old place I should have enough to buy the place outright.

Dear Diary,

I have the house, I just bought it and they have shipped my things over to me, the old house went to a lovely couple that just got married, and still no contact from the people who raised me, I believe they have forbid Layla from contacting me as well.

Once I have settled in, I will begin on the renovations at the office and start hiring new employees, and finally start my new life, I can't wait.

This is the last time I will be writing in here so...

WISH ME LUCK.

The end.
