THE ONLY DAUGHTER
I can’t pinpoint the exact moment I knew, but I realized something was up when I found myself staring at her pictures and wait for her replies. I knew it was only getting worse when she fetched me from school and when we held each others hand in public, and I prayed no one could tell how much I was blushing from it.

Maybe its time to let out or speak, its time to tell them everything what I was carrying the whole time or its time to disclose.
It was Wednesday noon, I prepared my things and other stuffs for school. It broke the silence when my mom sat on our sofa and asked me, “unsa man gyud imong problema?” I did not answer but, dad let me sat next to both of them.
“Ni gamay imong grado?”
“Kapoy imo lawas?”
“Ngano man gyud ka?”
