Her Dark Side

"If you don't want help, that's fine." Quirino answered curtly, he was a bit annoyed with the way Morana turned down his kind offer.The clock struck 16.00 p.m precisely and the sky seemed to pour out all its anger with the deafening sound of thunder and rain that seemed like it would not stop falling.At that moment Quirino decided to leave Morana alone, but at the same time Morana decided to answer."If you really want to help me, instead of a jacket, I need money," Morana said in her clear and firm voice, as if she was asking for the money that was rightfully hers in the first place.Quirino's decision to offer his jacket and Morana's unabashedly asking him for money, became the beginning of their story.Quirino exhaled slowly when he saw Morana casually throw the torn shirt she was wearing before and stood with a black bra covering her chest and changed clothes as if the room was only her.Morana acted as if the man there was invisible or maybe Morana never thought that Quirino ex

Quirino blinked his eyes while observing the appearance of this woman in front of him.Morana was just wearing the worn out jeans and oversized sweater she used to wear, without carrying a bag or anything!this woman is crazy!"I'm out of the house, not running away." Morana corrected Quirino's words, her brow furrowed in displeasure. "If you run away, it means that the people at home don't want me to go but I decided to leave, but I left the house which means it doesn't make a difference whether I'm there or not," she said it lightly.Quirino is still trying to understand the current situation. "Then why are you here?" This is what makes him so hard to understand her."Since you said I'm your girl to everyone, so it's only natural that you're the one I'm looking for." Morana answered casually, although she herself never confirmed the relationship between them.This is a strange relationship, based not on liking, but with curiosity that makes Quirino attracted to Morana, while the gir

Perhaps out of shock or not knowing what to do, Morana blinked her eyes repeatedly when she felt Quirino's soft lips on hers. He nibbled on her lips gently and put his hand on the back of her head.This is the first time for Morana to experience something like this, she is confused whether she should push him away or let him do what he wants like Morana has always done. She used to do whatever she liked.However, this time it was different and the situation was not the same.Morana's breath hitched and her chest rumbled frantically as Quirino pushed her body onto the bed and pinned her down. She realized what was going to happen after this.Morana's back was pressed so close against the soft mattress while Quirino hovered above her, exploring her lips with his warm and gentle tongue, asking for Morana's approval to open her mouth.But Morana didn't let him get what he wanted, because she was still too confused…But Quirino did not understand, his warm palm left the side of Morana's fa

Her very secretive attitude sometimes makes Quirino a little frustrated, but for some reason he is patient enough to deal with her strange traits. This is something Quirino continues to question even now.He hoped, maybe, one day Morana will be comfortable enough to share stories or her own feeling with him… maybe one day Morana will want to open up to him and tell him the whole story of her life and why she always looked so callous and lonely…Quirino will wait for that day to come while taking care of her…The day Morana allowed others to understand her better and stopped staring at the distance with such expression that made Quirino wanted to hug her and protect her. What actually happened with her life, until she was not wiling to let anyone in?After that, Morana stayed in Quirino's boarding house for four days.During those days, Quirino didn’t stop persuading Morana to return back to the capital city, because she had life to live there. She needed to go to school and finish it,

Morana cried even louder when she heard Quirino apologize to her, he shouldn't apologize, because there was nothing to be forgiven from him. He didn’t do anything wrong.Morana could understand Quirino's annoyance and frustration with her attitude, she could understand it, after all they had been together for four years, it was impossible for Morana not to know Quirino at all.Quirino, one might say, was too good for her. If he were another man, she didn’t know what she would have become now?Who wants to pay for the necessities of life for a sophomore high school student who just ran away from home? With no clear goals and an unconvincing family background.Not to mention Morana's stubbornness, who continued to refuse to answer all questions about her life and her family.However, Quirino was never pushy, he patiently let Morana do what she wanted and took care of her.No one has ever looked after Morana like how Quirino looked after her.In short, Quirino could be said to be Morana'
