My parents are real tyrants. I know that sounds awful, but it's true. They're perfect — rich, smart, never making mistakes. And they always demanded the same from me. Disobedience? Not an option. My appearance? Flawless, or fix it ASAP! And God forbid I have my own dreams or don't want to join my dad's business; they'd shut me up with a shout and a fist on the table. "Don't you dare to talk back, Kate!" That's their usual response.
Anyway, that day was even worse. I had to give a big presentation, and I tried telling them again that I didn't want to do it, but they just didn't care. So, I sucked it up and left.
I was walking down the street when I bumped into this homeless guy. He stared at me, and then his eyes filled with tears. Out of nowhere, he jumped up, hugged me, and shouted, "My Rosa, is it really you?! Oh Lord!"
I pulled back and said, "You've got the wrong person. I'm Kate."
He looked at me sadly and said, "Oh, you don't know, do you? They hid it from you?"
Within minutes, I was in tears.💔👇
