Broken Beyond Repair

“You look worn out…but a bit over the moon. Tell me, what’s the secret?” Kathryn said in that lovely voice of hers to her one and only elder sister, Denise. The office girl dragged her feet and slumped into the couch in the living room while throwing her bag carelessly and it fell on Kathryn’s face.“Ouch! That hurts” her younger sister whined. Denise chuckled. “Really? You’re not going to say sorry?” Kathryn complained. Denise drew in a long breath and pressed her cheeks excitedly. Her stomach rumbled. Quite a long day with a beautiful memory she wouldn’t forget in a long while.Kathryn walked up to her and sat on the couch’s arm. Then she pinched her neck. “Ouch!” Denise screamed while Kathryn burst into laughter. “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” she joked. “Very well then, I won’t tell you the reason behind my excitement” Denise threatened. Denise pushed her mouth and a line appeared between her eyebrows. She sat into the couch and wrapped her arms around Denise. The elder

"There's got to be some mistake..." The words flew out of her mouth without caution. The doctor, who was beaming with smiles raised an eyebrow. " Excuse me?" he said. Denise's eyes were still fixated on the paper in her hands. She shut her eyes and opened them at once wishing as always that everything was a nightmare. " Uh...I think you should go home and have some rest. Eat well and make sure to come for a check-up in the next one month". The doctor instructed.Denise jerked off the bed leaving the doctor startled andd headed straight out of the hospital. She was trying hard to get a hold of herself. Here is her world, crumbling again. " I can't be pregnant. Not right now good heavens!" she sobbed under her breath. She waved at a cab driver and he pulled over right in front of her. She couldn't say a word to him. Denise typed the address on her cellphone and showed it to him. There was nowhere else to go except Angela's. Even though, Denise didn't want her to find her in such a sor

" Food is ready" Ann said aloud, her voice echoing from the kitchen. Denise faked a static smile when Ann moved closer to the dining table. She placed the food on the table while Denise rose to join her. "That's it! A strong and beautiful Denise we have here" Ann praised...rubbing her best friend's hair. " Leave me alone already" Denise replied jokingly. She opened the food and inhaled deeply. " Easy Denise...I don't want you to use your inhaler right now. The food is more sumptuous than it looks" she whispered. Denise smiled. This time, it wasn't fake. She drew in a long breath. " Thanks Ann" she said. " What? Come on! Stop that" Ann replied munching the mountain of food in her mouth. " Just eat up! I made this with so much love" Ann said. Denise took a spoonful and nodded her head. Ann sure knew how to spice her food. She was right–it tasted better than it looked. " Why don't you open up a restaurant real soon? This is so delicious" Denise praised. " Well...I uhmm..." A message f

" What on earth are the two sworn enemies of her destiny doing at this hospital so late in the night?" Denise thought to herself.She could hear Kathryn complaining agitatively about something. Denise moved closer being extra careful not to be seen by them. Thankfully, there were a few cars parked before Clark's Mercedes-Benz. Denise tiptoed to the one right beside Clark's and squat to listen to Kathryn's words." I can't believe you failed to use the condoms. I bought three whole oacks for the night. Why were you careless?" Kathryn's voice echoed.Denise wondered why she was so loud. It was late in the night...has she forgotten? " Wait a sec, protection?" Denise whispered to herself. She had a clear picture of what that meant but she dismissed the thought at once. She must hear from the horse's mouth. She had had enough already." Babe, I'm sorry. You know how irresistible you are. I couldn't step back to get them. You put me in the mood already"" Shut the fuck up! You say that all

The transition from night to dawn took a donkey years. If there was a way to hasten it, Denise would have spun the wheel. Perhaps, she would have been in thhee future; five years after the heartbreak.She yawned as she stretched her arms." Ouch! That hurts" she whined. What could she expect?Her body would definitely ache from laying on the tiles floor all through the night.She rushed out of the house after grabbing her bag and went straight to board a taxi. It wasn't she long she got one and off she went to Angela's. Denise peeped from the gate and certain that no one was in the house, tiptoed in. It was a perfect timing! She had never wanted anyone to know her next move. With what she had in mind, Angela would stop her.She quickly put her few stuff together into one of Angela's empty bags. She didn't think of anything else...not even to take a shower, brush her mouth or tidy her hair. " I'm sorry, Angela. You were the only one that comforted me in my pain. I should inform you but
