My name is Shiro and I'm the eldest daughter of four more younger siblings. Well unlike my younger sisters I'm just an average girl with an average intelligence, which made me feel insecure all my life. My mom always shower my sisters with love and praises because they're pretty, not an ordinary pretty but god damn model stars. While me on the other hand is always shower with bad comments and hate. "Oh my god, Shiro! I can't believe I gave birth to you. You're just an ugly and stupid girl", my mom always says. But even though she's like that, I still love her and always help her as best as I can. One day I decided to find a job, to relieve my stress at home. I went directly to the publishing company to apply a job that I love to do. Luckily I was hire as an editor and I publish my own story that I wrote for the pass years, which the boss never mind. But one day I read some bad comments online, they said that the story I wrote is stupid and useless. And then I realized that my job is pointless so I contacted my boss and quit. I need to be realistic in life so I apply for a different jobs. Sadly no one wants to hire me and I started to regret my decision. When my mom knew about it she went beserk. "Oh! So you're jobless now, what a useless girl." and then she keep lecturing me and give me some senses. And I decided to see the boss personally to bring my job back. But that idea didn't happen though, as I drive another car from the opposite direction approach me. I dodge the car but I hit into the big tree and lose concious. When I wake up I was on a hospital bed and beside me was my four sisters and my mom. When the doctor walk in, I was shocked. It was my aunt, auntie Aira. When she explains the situation, that I can't walk for a long time. My mom went wild. "Oh! I thought you're the one who will going to take care of me but you can't even do that, do you? And I snap, "Mom! Would you please stop that. Ever since I was born you never treated me as your daughter. Don't worry you don't need to take care of me just leave my life." She just shrug and leave the room, then my sisters follow. But Honda stays by my side, my third younger sister. "Looks like my life is meaningless and a burden now, don't you think?" " Meaningless!? Shiro I envy you." wait did she just said she envy me? I ask her, why? "Shiro, you can write your own story and you can be the voice of many people by publishing their story. You can be your own hero unlike me. Who always do what I been told to do." When she said that, I immediately contact my boss and luckily they agree to take me back. I continue to publish my story and started to write others people story too. It was great but the bad comments didn't stop and I ask my boss. "Boss is my story, as they say, is it stupid?" The boss reply. "No, there are plenty of people who love your story and impatiently wait for the release of your books. Haters are just very judgemental people who see the world as black and white. And think they are right about everything. And when they don't understand something they just call it stupid, bad or ugly. And that is just bullying." I immediately thought of mom. How she use to call me ugly, useless and stupid. My mom is a bully, my mom is a bully!! As months pass, my legs got better and we're able to walk again. I thought about mom and the boss lecture about bullies, so I decided to visit my mom. As I look at her, she looks miserable. My sisters left her after they found jobs. When my mom saw me, she ran towards me and she apologise. "I'm so sorry Shiro, so sorry. You're sisters left me after what I have done for them. You're the best daughter I ever had, you never complain and I was so unfair." My heart aches at that time "It's okay mom, I forgave you. We have the rest of our life to spend with for the lost time." I cried when my mom hug me and cry on my shoulder.
