1 Let's go home

It was an unbelievable scene, a perfect one to be sure of none have experienced before. Yes, the whole of juvenile detention hall was at its ground cheering the farewell of Annette. Annette got her name from her master, therefore also her fame from the same one. She was not a common folk at the JDH but yes someone who cared for her people and blew up storms whenever needed. In short everyone there respected and feared her in a perfect proportion.

"Annette thank you for your consideration to support us here. Although we are separated today but we will never forget you. Whenever you need any kind of support please contact we people. Bye dear Annette. We wish your success."

With this sound of clapping hands lasted for at least two minutes. Everyone there shared the same thought " We will miss you Annette."

" Stupid fools don't be so emotional. Emotions cracks one confidence. Try to be youself. Thankyou for your love today."

Annette smiled at the crowd and went down the stage and then out the ground to meet her head at the JDH. The crowd stood there, watching the direction in which Annette left till she could be seen. Today everyone there was a little sad and happy because she left them but became independent.

" Sign here." The superintendent threw a pen at her. With her cold face she scribbled her name on the documents and turned to leave.

" Girl you left your belongings you brought here years ago." He reminded her.

Ah turned , took a look of the material , and just picked up two things from a full box and continued on her way.After going two steps she said " Throw the rest or do whatever you want with it."

What a weird girl. Although the superintendent had a good image of this girl but taking an envelope , a small teddy and her bag and leaving her jade bracelet and other valuables behind which was beyond his understanding of the kids. But one thing he was sure was this was no simple girl. Behind her solemn face she hid many secrets.

....

It was 12 at the noon when she was released from the detention center. It was summer and the sun was on duty. Supplying enough heat to melt ice cube in minutes.

Under the scorching sun she saw her left and right but none came to pick her up, things were going on as expected. She was ready to leave on her own. Just when she set her foot to cross the road a car stopped abruptly in front of her and a housekeeper came out."

" Are you elder miss Jiang? The madam has send me to pick you up. Please get in. Let's go home." The housekeeper gave her a deploring look.

Annette was silent for the whole ride. The look of the maid housekeeping was oblivious to her. She hated her presence and looked down on her.

" It seems miss Jiang misses her detention center." She laughed at her but Annette considered her as thin air which was enough to make her stay from further comments.

They reached the Villa 17, where her mother recides. It was already lunch time. Today everyone was at home during luch to welcome Annette back home after seven years of detention.

Upon reaching home, the same housekeeper, Aunt Zhao led her to a guest room and introduced to the room arrangements. She pulled down her things which she had on herself.

After taking a refreshing shower she went downstairs to join others at the luch.

" Mom look sister is back. Is she the same as before or a good version of hers." Zaho Xiu said while scanning her sister's personality.

None on the table seemed to be welcoming her. Instead they looked like they were here just to complete their part of greetings.

She ate without making a single sound and only nodding when needed. Her response was short and to the point , not at all giving others a chance to speak further.

She just observed her surroundings, people here were not welcoming , from their reactions it was sure that this Jiang Ning was not the favoured one in the family.

She know a little , this Jiang Ning had a step father, and her mother, Zaho Fei sabotaged her father. This was enough to get a character image of this lady.

Placing down her chopsticks Zaho Fei said " I got your report of dropping out for two years from the education policy followed at the detention center. Was you so depressed that you needed a change in environment to get back on track."

" Hmm " this was the reply she got but sill couldn't stop her from mocking her elder daughter.

" You will be eighteen soon but still in the same standard as your sister. Your father has arranged things so that you both can go to the same school. Don't dare to mess with people around there or be ready for the after effects."

"I cannot see where my father is??? Oh father! He is at the heaven from last two years as I remember." The fist full sentence she spoke was enough to spark the fireworks at the table.

She was done with the food so she stood up to leave" Thankyou for the food. I am done so I will move fist as I have some task to complete."

Xing Fei was red with anger, first she cursed her husband in front of him and next she left the table without any concern for manners. " You, ungrate" she hissed but for none to respond.

" Dear calm down, Jiang Ning just returned, she need her own time to adjust." Although Zaho Feng was cursing the girl on inside but showed his patience to his wife.

The surrounding had a sudden change in temperature and with a " scram" from Zaho Fei everyone went back their own way. Master Zaho also went back to Zaho corps.

......

Annette went upstairs to pick up her bag.

" Jiang Ning, take it. Its the only thing I owe you." Xing Fei threw a floder near her feet. Her indifference was enough to state hiw much this mother hated her daughter.

Annette picked it up. It was some kind of transfer documents. She took it peacefully , but the other party was not in a mood to stay like that. She turned to leave.

" Now we are even. You got your last share of pie which I had. Now you can hide your face from everyone but can afford your life. Take it and never show up in front of me and my family."

This was something which Annette expected to come from Jiang Ning's , but this soon she never thought. She invited her just for some hours.

" I will expect the same from you Madam Zaho, don't let me repeat my words." She had a evil smile on her face when she framed her words. With the sling of her bag hanging on her left shoulder she she left the gates of the Villa17.
