I’m the only girl among my siblings.
One time when I was in elementary school,
My parents were going out to buy some stuff,
And they told my older brother
To keep an eye on me and our younger brother until they came back.
My older brother waited for them to come back outside the apartment,
And I waited with him.
We accidentally locked ourselves out of the apartment.
Baba went to get the spare key from grandma.
When he came back,
He was angry,
And slapped me across the face.
I can still feel it until this day.
I was beaten up on different occasions for no reason.
