Chapter 1 Anne sighed as she walked into her small house in the salam. �He�s been drinking again,� she said, as she saw beer bottles scattered all over the floor. She bent down and picked it up one by one. *Crash* Anne looked up at the sound of the crash. It was coming from her father�s room. �Dad!� She yelled and dropped the beer bottles and ran to her dad�s room. There he was, lying on the floor, struggling to reach a for a beer bottle on the dresser. Anne ran to her dad and picked him up by the arm. �Dad, what are you doing?� She asked, as she put him on the bed. �Oh, Anne, you�re back from the bar? A lot of work there, honey?� He asked, struggling to get his eyes open. Anne nodded. �Can you get me that beer bottle right there for me?� He asked, pointing blindly. �No, dad, you�ve got to stop drinking now. You�ve been drinking way too much,� she said and took the beer bottle off the dresser. Her dad grabbed her hand and pulled her back. �Give me the bottle!� He tried to reach for it but Anne brought it higher into the air. �If you can reach it, I�ll give it to you,� she said, knowing that her father can�t reach it. Mr. Tongprasom was struggling to get the bottle out of Anne�s hand. He got tired and fell back on the bed. �Fine, take it away! I have no life anyway since your mother�� he trailed off and feel asleep before he could finish the sentence. Anne�s expression changed when she heard the word �mother.� She pulled the blanket over her father and went to her room. She sat by the window and thought back of why her father turned out to be this way. *Flashback* 7 years ago� �Mom!� Anne yelled when she rushed into her mom�s room. She was shocked to see that her mother was with another man. Mrs. Tongprasom quickly put a towel on her bare body and ran to Anne. She pinched Anne in the arm and pulled her outside, �Come here!� She pushed Anne onto the floor. �What the hell are you doing here?� �Mom! Why are you doing this to dad!� �I do what I want! Now go away!� She turned to walk back in but Anne grabbed her leg. �Mom! Please! Stop it!� Her mom pushed her head. �You have no right to stop me! You�re not my mother! And oh yeah, don�t tell your dad!� �Dad will find out sooner or later anyway!� Mrs. Tongprasom became furious and slapped Anne across the face. Tears ran down her throbbing cheek. �Don�t! If you do, then we are no longer mother and daughter!� �I don�t care! Who would want a mother like you anyway!� Mrs. Tongprasom was angry at Anne�s remark and raised a hand to slap her again. �Hey! Don�t!� A voice stopped her. Then she looked up and saw Mr. Tongprasom running towards his daughter. Heart of Ice Main       Home       Next 2 >>
