The rusty-old clock struck 5 o'clock. It was a Wednesday morning, Misty could never have forgotten that day. It was the day her daughter left home. It was a traumatic experience for her. All that was left was her daughter's note. It read, "I'm leaving. Mother, I'm sorry…"

Misty woke up with a start. Something was wrong but she didn’t know what. She saw a letter lying on the floor, and she wondered what it was. She approached it, and realised it was hand-written by her daughter. She wondered why her own daughter would write her a letter. Picking it up, she saw the first two words, "I'm leaving." Her heart skipped a beat. She rushed to wake her husband, in tears…

Friday morning at 9 o'clock, Misty stood at the motor trade, waiting for the man she met two months ago. She never thought she would fall for him; not to mention eloping. At the first sight of each other, a feeling sparkled in both of them, and that's when she knew she could no longer stay at home, what would her own husband think?

Later in the afternoon, Misty's daughter was out there enjoying herself. Her parents had denied her chance of having fun when she was home. She felt a sense of freedom. Bracing herself, she picked up her bags in no hesitation and stepped into the unknown world. She did not regret her decision to leave. Before leaving, she said to herself, "Bye mother. Bye father. Bye home."

When she entered the unknown world, she saw her mother, with another man. "What about father? Where is he? Why isn't she with him? Who is that man? How did mother know this man? When did she know this man?" Questions flooded her mind. Tears flowed down, as she thought to herself. She could never look at her mother the same way she used to. Looking at the embracing couple, her resolution hardened. She was no longer part of that household. Whatever they did was no longer of her concern. However, as much as she tried not to, a part of her still cried at night.
