This is a story from Grade 7 Exodus.

1. Diary Of Truth

2. What’s the Truth Inside
Her Diary?”

3. Diary Of Truth
It was raining that night. I was
awakened by the cry of my father.
Because of that, I hurried out of my
room to see what was happening. I
am About to take a step when I saw
my dad at the living room, he’s lying
on the floor,bloody and unconscious

5. Diary Of Truth
I also noticed a knife at his chest.
I was left dumbfounded on what I
just saw. I also noticed that at my
dad’s side, my mom was sitting
next to him, looking so shocked.

6. Diary Of Truth
“Oh God! Im Sorry” my mother
exclaimed nerviously and then she
pulled off the knife at the bossom
of my father. I wanted to run to
help my father but I just can’t
move.

7. Diary Of Truth
Apparently, I am stoned in my
position. I can’t move even a little.
What else do you expect from a
little girl who just saw her dad
stabbed by her mom? My mother
is Evil!

9. Diary Of Truth
I stood long enough to watch my mother’s reaction.
You can see the horror on her face because of what she
did. She accidentally dropped the knife that she had
used to stab my father. She wasn’t crying, she just kept
on looking at her hands covered with blood.. The blood
of my father. It’s has and painful to witness such scene.

10. Diary Of Truth
All this time, I thought we were
happy family, but I was wrong. I never
knew something like this would
happen. I loved them so much. Was it
wrong to love my mother? Why did
she do that to my father, to her
husband?

11. Diary Of truth
I saw her pick up the knife that she
dropped earlier. She need it tightly as
she stood up. And because of my
extreme fear, I ran back to my room
without making any noise. I was afraid
she would kill me as well for knowing
the truth.

12. Diary Of Truth
When I got back to my room, I
hide my self inside the cabinet and
there I fell asleep.

14. Diary Of Truth
I woke up, and found myself lying on my
bed. I was sighed while thingking about
my dream.. But it was like a nightmare to
me. It happened twelve years ago. I was
only eight years old when my mother
killed my father. I can’t forgive her for
what she did. I love them both. I really do.

15. Diary Of Truth
So It really gave me great pain seeing my
father being stabbed by my mother. I can still
remember everything , including every move
that was made during that night. And since then,
the same scene always appears in my dreams.I
got up and sat on my bed headrest, Recalling
every little detail of that bad memory..

16. Diary Of Truth
The night Passed. The next morning, I found myself
awaken by the loud voices of my two cousins. At first I
was confused, thingking what they are doing here but
as soon as I remembered about my father and what
really happened last night, I quickly ran outside my
room and found myself in front of a white elongated
box, surrounded by flowers. I’m still In My Night suit
that moment.

17. Diary Of Truth
I went closer to it and then I found my
father lying inside that same box. Even at a
young age of eight, I already knew what’s
really happening. My father is gone. He’s
dead because of my mother. My mom Killed
him. Sadness filled my heart and I cried as I
hugged his coffin. It’s hard for me to lose my
father.

18. Diary Of Truth
It’s really painful to be left without
him. I’m still young and I need him. I
want him to be the one to lift me up
if I stumble or fall. I want to make him
feel proud with my achievements. I
want him to be there if I ask him
about love.

19. Diary Of Truth
I want him to be there and give me
my first ride when I go to the
University I choose for college. I still
want to do a lot of things with him.
But now it’s Impossible.. There are
things you cannot get back once it is
get gone. It’s all over. I guess This is
the End.

20. Diary Of Truth
“Dear, Hush Now. I’m Here..” I felt the
embrance of my mother, but I didn’t dare to
looked back at her. I don’t know what to feel.. I
hate her for killing my dad. I just looked at my
father through the glasses of his coffin. “I will
give justice to you dad” I murmured.

22. Diary Of Truth
My Mom should pay for this. No matter how painful
this would also mean to me, she should be in prison.
And it hurts that I cannot talk to anyone about this
matter, anything about my father’s death. That every
time someone tries to talk with me, I’d choose to walk
away and ignore their stories. I don’t know how my
mom got away with it, and who paid for the crime that
she did. But There’s one thing im sure of…. She’s the
real killer.

23. Diary of Truth
I studied hard in school, and I won a lot of
friends. And after all what happened, I’m
still talking with my mom. But it’s never my
plan to get too closer to her. I’m not yet
ready to put my trust on her Again. I have
plans and I’m not yet done with her.

24. Diary Of Truth
I studied Criminology because I
want to investigate about my
father’s death. I want to know the
reason why my mom killed him. I
want To be the one who will put
her in jail.

25. Diary Of Truth
I maybe the worst daughter for doing such a
thing, but I just wanted to give justice on my
father’s death. I love my mom, I really do, but
she has to pay for the crime that she did. She
should be in prison and I’ll be the one to take
her there. It’s hard but I need to do this for my
dad.

26. Diary Of Truth
I was about to leave when my mom called me,”You
should eat first before you go to school.” “ Thanks but
no. I don’t want to be late in school.” I lied. The Truth is
my class isn’t this early today
“oh. Well then, Wait There. This won’t take long” I
failed To reply anything since she quickly moved to the
kitchen and prepared a lunchbox for me.

27. Diary Of Truth
When She got back , “ I cooked this for you,
baby” She gave me the luchbox. “Take Care.” she
was also about to kiss me goodbye but I jerked
it away. I wont let a murderer kiss me. “Thanks.” I
hastly said and moved away as fast a I could. I
rode my car, the one that my grandmother gave
me.

28. Diary Of Truth
And on my way I saw a beggar
on the street and I thought of
giving him the food that my mom
made for me. I won’t eat the food
cooked by a murderer.

30. Diary Of Truth
“Doc, please do everything to cure my
mother.” I Pleaded to the doctor. My Mother
was rushed at the hospital. “Were doing Our
best to remove those tumors in her brain. But do
not expect much, were still not sure what will
happen in future.” The Doctor answered.

32. Diary Of Truth
My mom Has a tumor in brain. The Doctor
said she had that diseas two years ago but she
managed to keep it from us. Im so worried ,
she’s still my mother and I love her. But the main
reason why I wanted her to becured is because I
still have to send her In jail and she cannot die
yet…

33. Diary Of truth
She Must repent or else my studies will go
on waste. If something wrong happens to her
there will be no justice for my father’d death
an I will never happen. She needs to suffer; I
want her to suffer the same way that my
father,Her husband, suffered too..

34. Diary Of truth
“Doc, The needs an operation as soon as possible.”
Added by the other doctor. I can’t help but to be
nervous at this moment. What if the operation fails?
No, My mother needs to be curred! What if the
operation fails? No, My mother needs to be cured!!!
I still need her.

35. Diary Of Truth
“Miss, we will do everything. But we will not leave
any promises.” The Doctor told me when theyre
entered the Operating room.
I waited for Five hours, as the doctor went out he
has stoic facial expression. Therefore, I became
more nervous . Why the operation seems so fast?
Was it successful or is there something else that
happened?

36. Diary Of Truth
“We’re sorry. Your mom didn’t make it. If we
continued the operation , she wouldn’t survive it
either, I’m sorry” The Doctor informed us,
lowering down his head. And I’m stuck on my
spot upon hearing what he just said. Some came
near me to comfort me, but I felt nothing.

37. Diary Of Truth
Until My mother moved to a private room,
just to wait for her time. I lose hope, ‘I can see
no hope to give justice for my father’s death’
That’s why my mind says. But my heart says a
different thing…. ‘If my Mother Leaves me
too’.. How will I live? Can I still Survive?

38. Diary Of Truth
My head was filled with too much thingking,
that I didn’t Realize I’m already inside my
mother’s room. She was there lying on her bed,
and her face displaying agonizing pain. Just by
looking at her, it feels like I’m also feeling the
pain she’s just feeling right now.

39. Diary Of Truth
It’s discomforting To see her looking helpless on a
hospital bed, waiting for her death. And my body move
involuntarily quickly reach for her hand..
“Mama”.. The words came out from my mouth.
“Dear”. I felt joy hearing her voice, saying that word . I
can no longer remember the last time?

40. Diary Of Truth
“Please open the drawer” She requested as she
point her finger at the drawer beside me. And as I
open it, I saw an old thick notebook
It’s my diary, dear.. I hope you’ll give time to
read it. I know there’s a misunderstanding between
us, dear.. “Ilove you and your father. Please, do not
forget about that”…

41. Diary Of truth

42. Diary Of truth
My Mother drew a smile on her
face, but she can’t hide it the tears
rolling down her cheeks. I was also
crying looking at her while holding
her diary across my throbbing
chest.

43. Diary Of Truth
I also Hugged her, and it was my first time embracing
her again after my father’s funeral. I didn’t think this will
going to be the last time I’ll ever hug her. I kept on
crying while holding her tightly, but I felt her arms
slipping away. I looked at her and her eyes shut… And
no longer breathing. And the last thing I remember, I
was dreadful and screaming, “I’m sorry, Mama. I love
you..”

44. Diary of Truth
AFTER my mother’s funeral, I preferred to be
alone first. I decided to read her diary, and I’am
glad to read the first entry on her notebook. That
was About the time when she and dad got
together. I browsed more pages.. It was a proof that
they are both in love with each other.

45. Diary Of Truth
But I didn’t dare to read more of it since my mom
starts sharing their love story to me when I was a little
and it gives more pain in my heart as well. I want to
know the truth so I start browsing her diary to look for
her entry about my father’s death. Unfortunately, there
was nothing except for an entry that was written the
following day after my father’s death. I read it.. And I
almost hurt myself with what I just discovered.

46. Diary of truth
“Dear, Diary
Yesterday was the most tragic and painful event
in my entire life. My husband died. There was three
men wearing a bonnet and they came to our house
that night.They wanted to steal the vaul that was
hidden at our daughter’s room. They seemed to learned
every parts of our house. Like they were watching us for
a long time already.

48. Diary Of Truth
But even before they entered my daughter’s room, my
husband fought back. He was able to beat those guys but
one of them stood up and he was about to stab me with a
knife when my husband shielded himself for me. I was Left
unspoken as I touch his wound, and it covered my hands
with blood. All I was able to say was, “Im Sorry..” If it’s not
because of me he wouldn’t have to die like this. I wasn’t
able to save him. I wasn’t able to save my husband.

49. Diary Of truth
Meanwhile, the robbers were surprised as well so
they ran out from the scene, and that was the time I
was able to take off the knife from my husband
chest. It even slipped off from my hands as I watch
him weakened. After a few minutes, I got
up,hugged him tight and wept. It was too late when
he was brought to the hospital… he’s already gone.

50. Diary of truth
But before his last breath, I
promised him I promised him I will
take good care of our daughter.
And I will never leave her no matter
what happens..”

51. Diary Of truth
I was Just Crying while reading it. Why it is like
that? You’ll just regret something once it is lost.
It’s painful, exetremely painful. I love my mom so
much, but when I thought that she killed my
father. My personality got full of hatred. I was
poisoned by that anger that made me hate my
mother.

52. Diary Of truth
Now I regret everything. It’s an excruciating pain.
Why do people have die first before you realize that
you love them? My father.. Left me, and now my
mother left me as well. No, I was the first one who
left her. What have I done to my mother? Why I
ever thought that she could do that?

53. Diary Of Truth
AT this Moment, are you having problems with
your parents? Will you wait for them to leave
before you ask for forgiveness? Do they need to
die before you grant them your forgiveness?
While it’s early.. Make them feel that they are
loved, before you regret it.
