Tired of crying until her eyes were swollen, Eve decided she had to be strong and get out of there before Uncle and Aunty did anything terrible to them.
She must not cry or be weak. Everything happened so suddenly that their lives changed, and Eve had to be stronger and less whiny, at least in front of her sister. She was the only family she had at the moment. Eve continued to convince her heart, "I guess I'll have to find a job! I didn't even have a chance to pick up my cards earlier! We have to survive! Yeah, right!" Eve kept saying to herself until she heard her little sister complaining. "Eve! How long are we going to keep going? Look! My legs are all sore and starting to blister!" she complained and showed her legs starting to turn red and the back of her legs that were slightly injured. "Does it hurt that much? You wait a minute!" Eve ran to a convenience store that came into view after we walked about 800 meters from our house. "Sit down, change your shoes with these slippers to make it more comfortable," Eve said as she handed me a pair of slippers after returning from the convenience store. Adeline slowly took off her shoes, and Eve tried to apply a plaster to cover the wound. "Let's sit on the pavement for a while to rest. Is that okay?" Adeline just nodded in agreement. "Eat up! This bread is good enough to fill your stomach. And here's a drink. You don't want to get sick from an empty stomach." Eve offered Adeline a slice of the meat sandwich she bought at the supermarket. Eve was grateful that the security guard at her house was still kind enough to give us tens of dollars so we could eat that day. Adeline ate quietly. But she seems hungry because they haven't eaten anything since morning, and now it's late afternoon. Eve smiled and gave her the uneaten portion, "Eat up, I'm still full." "But, Eve..." Eve smiled again, "No problem, Al! I'm really still full. I ate a lot last night, so...I'm still full. And I should cut back a bit, right? If I don't want to get fat!" Eve laughed a little so that Adelin wouldn't always look sad. Eve has forced her to accept her share of Adeline's hand. Finally, she took Eve's bread hesitantly and ate while occasionally stealing glances at Eve. Suddenly, the sky darkened; Eve looked up, standing up. "We should get out of here, and it looks like it's going to rain!" Eve said worriedly. Worried about Adeline, she couldn't get sick from the rain. We walked a little faster, with Eve pushing and lifting two suitcases with difficulty. "Hurry...Adeline!" said Eve as she started to feel the raindrops hitting her head. The rain began to fall heavily; Eve and Adeline were soaked. Eve took off the black-coloured cloak she had worn for the funeral earlier and gave it to her sister to cover her head. Finally, they took shelter in a big tree. "Come closer, put this on!" Eve opened the jacket worn that day under her robe and put it on for her sister; although it looked a little oversized, it was better; at least she wasn't cold. Eve held both her palms, and they gave each other warmth. Eve has rubbed her hands with her sister's hands. "Is it still cold?" Eve said, looking at her; Adeline shook her head. "Not really, Eve! What about you? You must be cold, put your jacket back on. " Adeline was about to take off her jacket that Eve had just given her. "No need, Al. I'm fine! I hope the rain stops soon, okay?" Eve said as she looked at the dark sky sending down the rain. Eve remembered something, "Why don't I ask Robert for help? He would have helped me!" she thought. Eve took her mobile phone and called her boyfriend, Robert. But time and time again, there was no connection. Eve has also contacted some of her closest friends because Eve didn't have many friends. But it still didn't work. "Why, Sis?" Asked Adeline, who saw Eve confused. "I tried to contact my friend and Robert, but there seems to be a problem with the network, maybe because of the weather! Let's wait a little longer, shall we? Hopefully, the rain will stop!" Eve lied to her; it seemed like they blocked Eve's phone, and Eve didn't know why. Tomorrow, she will find out after finding a job. Her thoughts came back. Adeline just looked down while staring at her sandals. "Why is our life like this, Sis? Why did Mum and Dad leave us? And why are Uncle and Aunty so mean to us? What did we do wrong, Eve?" said Adeline again, crying and sobbing while looking down. Eve went over to her, and they hugged each other while shedding more tears and sobbing among the raindrops that drenched the earth. "I didn't know, Al. I don't know! But believe me, you'll always have me, we'll be together forever! No matter what happens! We'll get through it together! Now you're my only family." They sobbed again. They continued to cry until, even then, Adeline's body felt like it was about to fall! "Adeline!" The rain was still falling into the night when Adeline began to faint. In the darkness of the night, Eve saw that there was a tunnel-like passage at the end of the street. Eve tried to carry her sister on her tiny back and began to lift her unconscious sister, "I might be able to ask for help in the tunnel. There are usually many vehicles passing by, and someone might be kind enough to help us." Eve thought. "Hang in there Al, we're getting to that tunnel in a bit!" But when Eve was almost there, a car drove past at speed, and as a result, the slightly stagnant water splashed on her body and face. "Hey! Be careful driving!" Eve shouted in annoyance. Eve carried Adeline back in their wet and dirty clothes. Eve laid her down and returned with their suitcases at the end of the road she had just taken. While Eve was busy dragging Adeline in wet clothes, the speeding car stopped at the end of the road."Why did it stop?" Asked a well-dressed and very handsome man looking forward to the driver."Sorry Mr Watson! But, it looks like we got the girl behind us all wet and dirty, sir! And it looks like...they need some help! Shouldn't we go down and help her, sir?" asked the frightened driver."What do you mean, help her? Are you crazy, huh? I've already got a headache from my problems with my grandfather! Don't add to it! Besides, what good woman would be wandering around in the middle of the night like this, if not a bad woman? If she does something bad to us, like rob us, will you take responsibility? Huh?" snapped a young man of about 28 years old in annoyance."Sorry, sir! I didn't know..." the driver felt bad and just looked down, his intentions were good just wanting to help but apparently his master thought differently, maybe because of the problem he just received from his grandfather earlier."Already! Run again, the car! I'm tired! I want to get to my apartment quickly!" he snapped back while closing his eyes."Yes, sir," said the frightened driver.The car traveled slowly, in the darkness of the night and under the rain.Eve didn't notice the car that made her wet earlier had stopped. Eve was busy with her suitcase. Eve took their clothes as a mat and blanket, finding nothing but clothes in their suitcase.Next to her sister, Eve bent her legs while looking down with both hands, looked down, and cried."What did we do wrong, O Lord? Why do you have to go through this? I miss my home, I miss my cozy bed..." Eve continued to cry about their lives until she was tired.They slept on the cold, hard streets like hobos!The sun appeared to publish its light; Eve began to wake up. Eve stretched the muscles of her body that felt sore and stiff all over.Eve tried to wake up her sister, Adeline. "Al, wake up! Al, we have to go now!They walked to the city centre, where they walked to a park and found a toilet to freshen up and change clothes.Before looking for work, Eve asked Adeline to wait in a park near a row of office centres and shops.Eve bought her breakfast and a drink of water and gave her a few dollars to keep watch. Eve asked her to wait until she came after getting a job.Only then would Eve figure out how to find a place to live. She should sell her favourite watch this time; it was the only precious thing she had left.It was noon, but Eve hadn't found a job yet and needed clarification. She was sweating from looking for a job all morning, and her legs started hurting from exhaustion.Finally, on the corner, Eve saw a cafe. She walked there to buy a piece of bread and hot chocolate to feed
"Liver Cancer? No way! Tell me it's all a lie, Doc! You might be wrong, Doc! It's definitely not true! My sister is just tired!" Eve shouted as she grabbed the Doctor by the collar.Exhausted, Eve finally broke down and collapsed on the cold hospital floor as she cried.Just as she felt a little happy for accepting work today, she thought things would be better after getting a job.Damian helped Eve finalize everything, including Adeline's payment.Damian was still with Eve, who was waiting for her sister to wake up. He couldn't bear to leave her.Eve didn't say much, preferring to stay quiet and lost in her thoughts.Eve looked at Damian, who seemed tired; she didn't want to impose her will on the Boss to stand by her side."Sir, isn't it better for you to go home? I can wait for my sister here. I know you are tired. I thank you for your help. I don't know what would have happened to both of us if you hadn't helped us. I promise to return the money you spent to pay for my sister's tre
Eve began to wriggle out of her short sleep. Since she had been thinking about it last night, she would try to ask her lover for help even though her messages and phone were not answered all night, and Eve thought that Robert was busy.He intended to go to the college today. Not going to study as usual, she decided to continue her studies when she had enough money. She was going to meet Robert at the college!Saying goodbye to Adeline, Eve travelled by public transport to the campus.She had done it for the first time and might have to get used to it from now on.When she arrived at the gate of her campus, she felt something strange. Everyone who knew her began to avoid her; some stayed away, some pretended to be indifferent, but more looked at her with a look of pity in their eyes."What's going on? What's going on? What are all those eyes looking at me for? Am I smelly and dirty?" she smelled the scent of her body. No odour! And not dirty either, because she had showered and changed
Eve looked down at her body, there was nothing missing either. So she wasn't hurt? She's still alive? But just now, wasn't there a car passing by? And Then, what happened?Eve turned her head towards a fairly luxurious car, looking at it sadly. She was afraid, afraid that the car would be damaged due to her lack of caution earlier. "What if this car is damaged or scuffed, due to being hit by me, maybe? Then I'll have to pay for the car's repairs? What about this? I don't have the money to pay for it! What if the owner gets angry and complains to the police, and I'm arrested and imprisoned, what will happen to Adeline? My God, what kind of ordeal is this? Why does bad luck always accompany my steps? Help me, O God!" Eve whispered worriedly in her heart as she bent down to look at the car, to find the damage."Hey! What are you doing? You want to die, huh?" said a beautiful girl dressed in a rather sexy outfit coming out of the car while ruffling her waist.Eve didn't listen to her, she
Eve blinked her eyes in disbelief at what she had just heard, an old friend offering to help. Maira wanted to help her? She could hardly believe it. In the midst of her confusion about all the problems that were choking her that made her chest hurt, Maira's help was like an oasis in the desert. Her burden seemed to be lifted from her shoulders. And she didn't expect it to come from a friend she hadn't even seen in a long time. Eve felt very grateful to God for helping her by sending Maira to her. "Really?" Eve took her best friend's hand and started kissing it "Thank you, Mai! I promise to return it to you as soon as possible! I promise!" she continued kissing the back of her hand with emotion. Eve even stood up to hug her little friend. "Never mind! Remember! Later tonight! I'll introduce you to someone who will help you! He's a close friend of mine! You can rest easy! Some of my funds are used with him for business so, well...we have to get his approval too! But don't worry, he'll
Man entered and walked slowly, then bent down and looked at Eve while caressing her smooth face. Then moved on to her exposed thighs. "Get your smelly hands off my body! Or...I'll.." Eve began to get emotional and tremble with fear. "Haha...Or what? What are you going to do, beautiful? Scream? This room is soundproof, your screams won't be heard! So, just enjoy this night...I'm very curious, it says you're a virgin, right? And I paid good money for it! So I should enjoy it!" still holding Eve's jaw roughly. "Paid? I didn't sell myself! You must be wrong! I'm here with my friend, and she wants to see me with her best friend she's going to..." Eve started to panic and moved her face away from the man. The man was actually quite handsome, but very rude and Eve didn't like it. "Yeah, yeah. Just keep bragging. Oh, yeah that friend of yours you mentioned earlier? Maira, she's the one who offered you to me at a fantastic price because she said you were still unexplored! Is that true?" wit
Everyone there turned their heads towards the handsome unknown man.Someone who deliberately ruined their fun. Including Eve who saw him, feeling she could rely on that person for help."Sir, help me! They want to harass me! Help! My friend sold me! Please, sir!" Eve began to plead, she didn't care who the man was, she just wanted to get out of here, even if she had to plead pleadingly to the unknown man, she would do it."Shut up!" the big man said as he slightly shook Eve's body that was carried like a sack of rice on his shoulders."Hey! You! Let her talk! You guys are so noisy!" he angrily pointed his index finger at Eve. "Explain why you're on his shoulders, what are you saying? Are you stupid or what? So you didn't realise you were being sold?" the man looked at the girl irritably. And then looked at the well-dressed man who seemed to know her."Put her down! I said put her down!" he glared fiercely.The two men stared at each other and sought the approval of Andrew MacGuire who
Allan frowned with confusion looking straight at his best friend Tom."What idea? About?" asked Allan, not understanding."Have you forgotten your problem? The problem you just told me about a few hours ago? At the club?" Tom looked at his best friend while holding his upper hand and a little tighter.Allan tried to recall the events of the past few days with the grandfather who was the source of his problems. As well as the conversation he had with Tom a few hours ago in that luxurious club in the Wellington area.Flash back on a few days agoAllan Watson was 28 years old.
