Chapter 12
I kept following the man, but he was too fast, but I won't give up even if my feet go numb and tired, I won't even care if my feet bleed. I would never let him go away, I won't let him kill innocent people anymore, never... never.
I glued my eyes at him and kept chasing him.
"Sh*t," I uttered when I slipped on the ground. I was not being careful. I hurriedly stood up and I saw him entered a narrow street and I followed after him, but I stopped when there were two directions in front of me, left or right? The place was dark that I could barely see anything but a beam of lights from afar.
I couldn't decide which way I should go, which way did he run through? What if I went in the wrong direction? I might lose him.
"Sh*t, Kenneth! You can't let him go!"
"Ahhh!" I shouted as I kicked the garbage on the floor when I heard a man groaned. I paused...
I chuckled and looked at the garbag
Chapter 13When Amanda gain her consciousness, I hurried to investigate, but of course, I made sure she was able to talk, I know it was traumatizing. I was her before I became a private investigator, I had the same experience as her. Survival isn't easy, one wrong decision and turns you are going to the road of hell. Glad she survived. As I opened her door, she was sitting on her bed.Her head turned at me, and I smiled with worries in my eyes, "How are you?" I asked softly, and she glanced at my face, she was pretty."Who are you? Where is Ash?" she raised a question. It's funny that she asked Ash first instead of her mom. I looked at her, "Your mom just went to her work," I replied. "You didn't reply to my question," she said and lifted her one brow as she sharpened her eyes at me. She was different, haha, she has a lot of strength in her voice, and what's that fierce?I honestly admit, t
Chapter 14"These are your two cappuccino with additional syrup shot, one toasted sandwich, and one order of grilled sandwich. Hope you enjoy your snack, ma'am, sir,"said the woman whose hair was on a bun, smiling at us as she put down our orders. I glanced at her, and my eyes rolled down on her nameplate, it was a weird name for me, though my name also sounds like a dude's name but at least mine could also fit for girls..."Nice name you have there, Richard," Mr. Kenneth whispered and the woman chuckled. "So he also notices her nameplate?" I thought.The woman smiled and answered, "Oh, my name is not Richard, actually, hmmm..." she coughed, "I'm new here, and I'm just using my trainer's nameplate, temporarily," she added."Now it does makes sense."Mr. Kenneth chuckled and actually, I never thought of having a snack with this guy. But I couldn't refuse when he invited me earl
Chapter 1It's been 3 months when Dravo died and my emotion was mutual. Only Amanda, his sister, was the only one who always visited me, Camille and the others were busy with their studies while I? I couldn't stop disparaging myself and no police could ever help me, no rescue at all. I was dying daily from the past that was buried in my heart of hearts."Where are you?" I texted Amanda, she replied, " I'll be there in an hour.""Could you come earlier than that?" I asked but she said she was doing something important.Everyone was excited about their entrance exam in College for next year, they seemed forgotten everything that happened to Dravo, so easily. But I...I never left this place, my room. I never went out since Dravo died. I didn't go to my work nor to my class, I withdrew.Tears began to sting in the edge of my eyes again, the injury I had was the same from Dravo's funeral, it n
Chapter 2Amanda was walking beside me when we passed through the corridors."Four months, Ash, four months," I sighed when I decided to go back to school. I felt like I never been here for decades, thanks to Amanda who enlighten and encouraged me to go back and left that prison of mine.But then when we were walking in the hallways, I discovered that all eyes were on me, I noticed it since I entered the school, but at first, I thought I was maybe imagining things that all of the kids, parents, teachers, and classmates, all of them were strangely glancing at me, but they were actually staring at me... Why? I thought... I hunched down my head when I came to realization that they were thinking something about me. And it wounds my heart when they were avoiding me like..."Am I a kind of some virus?" I thought and I was trembling, confused, and in pain. But I kept holding on the tears that were stinging in the corner of my e
Chapter 3I was afraid when I wakened to found out that I was lashed to the chair. My hands were on my back, hardly tied up while my feet were tied on the seat's poles."What's going on?" I thought, but I was perplexed as I noticed that I was inside my room. Then a minute later I could hear a voice coming from the outside, there were too many voices, "Who are they?"... I wanted to shout for help but there was something in my mouth. I was sweating as I tried to moved and make a noise, but I stopped and shrieked... whoever did this was smart, he even tied the chair to my bed, making it secure, making it sure I won't make any sounds, making sure that I wouldn't do anything that not appropriate to his likings. " Who are you?" I thought."Is it that man?" I thought then I started to tremble, my eyes expanded and I couldn't breathe normally."Come on, Ash, re
Chapter 4Time passes by, and I got used to this world I lived in, I just went with the flow, rather than striving hard enough to give my best effort over and over again just to amend or control the situation nor to make it back to normal. I strived too much but I gave up because nothing rewrote what was before my eyes despite of all the effort I did, I was still an object of aversion to all of them, and I didn't want to care anymore about what they mumble behind me, I didn't care about rebuilding their thoughts anymore, because the more you care the more you get hurt, yet things were becoming more and more worst than ever ... than I ever imagined."Miss, Ash, I'm sorry but we suggest you to move to another school," Mrs. Akitson said, our school principal, as I sat down on the stool in front of her desk. I almost lost my mind when she told me that... 'Why? What did I do enough to suffer
Chapter 5"Hi, how are you can you see me? Can you hear me?" I whispered as I glanced at his grave. Wishing I was the one who was sleeping peacefully down there and not him."It suits me better down there, I'm all mess up, Dravo, wish nothing of this happened," I cried as I thought back to how I found Dravo's dead body in my apartment.I was almost finished with my chore from my part-time job when he called me, saying he would pick me up and he has something to tell me, he got a copy of my apartment's key so I told him to just wait for me there and don't bother to pick me up, I could go home alone, and so he did, he was an obedient boyfriend that's why I fell in love with him even more.Well, the moment I reached home, the door wasn't like but the light was off, which was dubious for me, but I didn't bother to overreact, I thought that he may be just wanted to surprise me, (that was foolish thoughts of mine) I wa
