Ballerina and Mr. Cruel Levio

As if she didn't expect what she saw, Liora really hoped that this was just a dream for her. However, the nameplate displayed in front of the house shows that what he saw was real.

"Elsie!"

Liora's knees suddenly went weak when she saw the body lying stiff in front of her. With tears that couldn't be stopped, Liora really couldn't believe that the woman who considered her like her own sister was now gone.

Yes, Liora was originally just a little girl alone. However, because of the kindness of Elsie's family, Elsie's parents adopted Liora as their daughter too. And in fact, Elsie really loves Liora like her own sister.

Liora grew up with happiness and full support from this family for her talents. Because they like dancing, Elsie's parents took Liora to ballet dance education and of course this made Liora very happy. And until now, Liora has made this family proud by winning many awards and frequently appearing in luxury halls in various countries.

And right now, Liora has just returned from Paris after receiving news from her adoptive parents.

Liora suddenly remembered her last words with Elsie.

Flashback On.

That night, Liora, who had just rested after training, was really surprised because Elsie contacted her.

"Yes Elsie?" said Liora after receiving this telephone call.

"When are you coming back to New York?" asked Elsie.

With a small laugh, "I don't know Elsie. Did you miss me?" Liora answered but only a small sigh came from Elsie.

"I will definitely go home later. But before that, we will attend the stage for next week. And because of that, I have to practice continuously so that our performance is stunning. I also have to make you proud. Because with your kindness, you have accepted and cared for me with great affection all this time. Mommy and daddy also love me like their own child. Therefore, I want to make you proud with my talent." explained Liora.

"Yes Liora. You have to make them proud when I can't do that. You have to promise me to make mommy and daddy always smile." said Elsie.

"Why do you say that? We are the pride of mommy and daddy. We will both do our best to make them proud. I don't need to promise you because I will definitely do it without you telling me to." Liora replied.

"Thank goodness, I'm glad to hear that. Thank you Liora!" said Elsie while holding back her sobs.

"Don't worry, Elsie. I'm not the type of person who forgets myself. Then, how is your study? You're healthy, right? It seems like your voice is very weak to hear." Liora replied in surprise.

Elsie's crying really couldn't be stopped anymore and Liora became worried about her.

"Elsie, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Come on, tell me!" said Liora worriedly.

"I can't live anymore Liora. I want to leave forever." explained Elsie sobbing.

Suddenly Liora was surprised by Elsie's statement.

"Don't talk carelessly Elsie! Don't make mommy and daddy sad! We must work together to make them proud." said Liora reminded her.

"But they will be disappointed with my situation. I have no self-esteem anymore, Liora. I'm broken. I can't hide it anymore. I want to go home." explained Elsie, which made Liora even more afraid of Elsie's rambling words.

"What do you mean Elsie and where else do you want to go home? You're home." said Liora worriedly.

"Come back immediately to accompany me home, Liora. I'll leave a letter for you under my favorite blue shirt." Elsie replied, then the telephone connection was suddenly cut off.

"Elsie! What do you mean Elsie! Elsie, hello!" said Liora but she just realized that the telephone line had been disconnected.

So anxious and afraid of what Elsie would say, Liora had to try as hard as possible to get permission and return to New York. He was really worried about Elsie's intentions.

And just arriving at the airport in this city, Liora received a call from her adoptive parents stating bad news about Elsie.

Flashback Off.

"Elsie! Why are you really doing this?" said Liora sobbing.

Mommy Elsie, who saw Liora's arrival, immediately hugged her.

"Your sister is gone son. He left us all. Elsie is gone." Greta, who is Elsie's mother, sobbed hysterically.

While rubbing Greta's back, "Liora was also surprised by this, Mommy. Liora is sad too." Liora replied no less hysterically.

Meanwhile, Sandro, who is Elsie's father, rubbed his wife's shoulder. With teary eyes, it was clear that Sandro was also very sick when he saw the death of his only biological daughter.

Trying to be strong, "Honey, it's time for Elsie to be buried. Liora has also come and let's take our beautiful girl to her happiness!" Sandro said softly, which couldn't help but make Greta nod.

After the funeral process was complete, the families returned to their respective residences. Likewise with Greta, Sandro and Liora.

However, after returning home, Greta's condition was really not good. He became silent and continued to daydream. Even for the next few days, Greta remained completely silent and often cried suddenly when she remembered her daughter who had died.

"Mommy, Liora has permission to return to Paris. Can I?" Liora asked softly, to which Greta only nodded.

"It's okay, Liora. Go! It's your team's obligation to perform, right? No problem. Daddy will look after mommy. You continue whatever your hobbies and talents are! We are still your parents and we will always support you." said Sandro who suddenly came and rubbed Liora's head.

"But Liora couldn't bear to see mommy's condition."

With a smile, "Mommy just needs time. Daddy himself will take you to the airport tomorrow. Now go to sleep kid!" said Sandro softly to which Liora nodded.

"Then, Liora excuse me, dad!" Liora said goodbye to which Sandro smiled in return.

After leaving the parents who had cared for her all this time, Liora remembered what Elsie had said on the telephone at that time.

Hastily entering her room, Liora finally found a piece of paper tucked under Elsie's favorite clothes. And after reading this letter, Liora immediately sat down on the floor so weak, also with heavy tears.

"Is this what made you end your life, Elsie?" Liora sobbed sadly while hugging this paper.

Meanwhile the next day, Sandro actually took Liora to the airport. And on this journey, Liora stared blankly at the firm face of a man who was actually hiding sadness.

"Daddy!" called Liora which made Sandro glance at Liora.

"Yes Liora, what's wrong?" Sandro replied with a smile.

"Sorry if Liora was presumptuous. But if Elsie committed suicide because of someone's bad actions towards her, would daddy just keep quiet?" Liora asked.

"That means it wasn't Elsie who committed suicide, but that person who killed her. And obviously, daddy will find out that person and punish him as severely as possible." Sandro answered firmly.

Liora just held back her tears while nodding.

"Did you find anything suspicious about Elsie's suicide?" asked Sandro.

With an awkward smile, "N-no daddy. Liora hasn't found anything yet. But Liora will definitely find out about this. Elsie couldn't have done this without a reason." Liora answered, forced to lie, because that was what was written in Elsie's letter so that Liora would not tell her about the situation that had been stressing Elsie all this time.

With a smile, "Daddy is also trying to find out. And daddy thinks that your mommy's condition will recover if all this truth is revealed." said Sandro to which Liora nodded in return.

Staring at the street, "I will definitely find this person, daddy. I will make Elsie's departure completely peaceful. This barbaric man must receive the punishment he deserves." Liora thought while holding back her tears.
