I was silently eating the apple I sliced lately while waiting for Leira to wake up again. The chaos gave her so much exhaustion, I know. Good thing, the commotion ended without anyone being in a critical condition. I protruded my lips while lying on the couch freely with heavy breaths mixed with heavy emotions all over my being, that I couldn’t even think straight. I still can’t move on about what happened lately for I still could feel my trembling hands upon watching Leira in a state of breaking down. The eyes of the woman Steffano brought instantly popped in my mind, making me tightened my fist upon thinking she might be one of the reasons why this thing happened to my little fella. But I sighed in the end, trying to calm my senses since the commotion’s already done and there is no point for me to feel this nonsense. They all vanished our sight the moment Leira said she wants everyone gone except her momma, which made my heart. At that moment, I instantly caressed her, thinking t
We have been staring with each other for almost a minute and it’s me who broke the cold stares between us. I didn’t even dare to drop a voice to him, and just looked at him as if I have been looking at the wall full of nothingness.My face began to heat up, pertaining that tears were now ready to flow from my eyes upon hearing his promises in my mind while looking straight to his eyes with a sudden gulp, for me to control my emotions. Being deafened due to his words in the past is what I have been feeling as of the moment.After a minute, I diverted my gaze elsewhere, for I am fully aware that the atmosphere is starting to be filled with awkwardness. From my peripheral vision, I noticed him walk towards our direction, especially to Leira’s bed.I remained Silent upon lifting my head, trying to see his reaction when he successfully sat next to the kid, talking to her in a whisper even she’s sleeping. After a moment of silence inside the room, I decided to maneuver my body, readying my
I woke up due to the cold floor that keeps touching my skin. I could barely open my eyes due to something that hinders me to open it, but I know the whole place is the last place I want to be situated. It feels like hell.Every thing is filled with darkness, and the only thing I can do is to move my body even it is so difficult for me to do so. I crumpled in pain when my elbow touched something very sharp. Now I am certain, I got lots of bruises because of it. I was handcuffed and I can’t even scream due to a cloth that was covered in my mouth. I can’t even maneuver my feet for it was being chained. All I could do is to cry helplessly without a voice.Why am I in this situation? Why do they always wants me to suffer? Damn this life of mine! I tried screaming without my actual voice, but I know I will end up tiring myself for nothing. It is so useless. After minutes of sobbing, sensing if there is someone around the area, I decided to just sit still, for I am already used to this kin
The filthy old man diverted his eyes on my direction while wearing his filthy wide grin, revealing his teeth. I could even see the golden teeth and his messy mustache, making him looks like one of the masterminds of a certain illegal organizations. There’s a big possibility, due to the way he act. I remained silent with a very pressed lips while trying to roam my eyes around the whole area, figuring out on how I can escape from this hellish place, but I doubt that, for the whole room was filled with tattooed and mustached men. And I only looks like little kitten begging for survival in front of them. But as of today, I haven’t feel fear or any emotions related to that. I felt nothing.I was just listening to the old man’s conversation with my husband with a poker face upon thinking that act is only a waste of their time. They’re just wasting their time talking with Steffano. He don’t care about me. “I know you’ve known me, mate. Why not a having a short reunion with an old of friend
“You’re so fucking hardheaded. Why can’t you just stay and take care of Leira? I shouldn’t have let you leave. Damn it.” I heard some murmurs and curses as I was forcing myself to open my eyes, but my head is too heavy for me to move even my brows. I felt like I was glued the moment I tried moving my body.I tried activating my ears fully but all I could hear is a buzzing sound mixed with a man’s voice, and I know it is from the man I once loved. His voice changed a little bit, but I know it’s him. The only thing that made the frustration from my system got increased is the fact that I can’t hear him clearly. I tried moving my body but it feels like it was being covered with heavy loads for I can’t even lift my finger. My body is aching as if it was being placed to a flame. Damn this! What is happening to me?!I can sense everything but not that clear and I can’t even move, like damn!“If only you know how it is so difficult for me to act this way. If only you know how it pains me w
I was following his every movement as I tried moving my feet for the second time. He was busy slicing some apples while wearing his knotted brows, like a mad man who is willing to risk his everything just to finish what he’s doing. He really looks so adorable with that expression of him.All I did is to savor the scenery in front of me. His presence is a masterpiece I could watch over and over again without being satiated. I was like a little kitten, waiting for my master to feed me, and even so, I haven‘t felt being a burden at all. Instead, the joy I haven’t experience for the past one year appeared with bloom, and the last thing I want right now is to end this moment with him for I know, this will only happen once in a blue moon. Even in his simplest gesture, I want to capture and put it in the safest part of my memory.“How’s your stomach? Is it still hurting?” he asked when he successfully sat next to my bed and handed me a a piece of sliced apple.I can’t help but watch the ev
It’s been almost three hours since I woke up emotionless in this four-cornered empty hospital room. I can’t help but wonder what I did in my past life in order for me to suffer this kind of life I have right now. My body is still numb for me to lift a finger, and even if it’s not, I will still not move for I am so tired of everything. I am so sick of my situation. I think, I suffered enough, I’ve had enough, and hope this is enough. I am going crazy if this will not stop, and I don’t want that to happen. I pressed my lips together with an emotionless feature when the door got opened, revealing my husband’s vulnerable and tired sight. I didn’t diverted my eyes to his direction and just looked at the wall like I haven’t looked at it for decades. I am fully aware that my eyes right now is filled with emptiness, stuck with nothingness. I can’t even bare looking at myself on the mirror, for I will always remember how that old filthy man licked my fucking neck. Even that is just a MERE ex
“No! I need my momma! Momma! Momma! I need my momma!” That’s the first thing I heard the moment we reached the hallway very near to her room. A deep sigh escaped on my lips when Tangerine stopped from pushing the wheelchair I am currently situated. I could even feel that her body got frozen and was rooted in place due to way she’s holding the handle of the wheelchair, so I diverted my gaze to her with a confusing look even it is so difficult for me to do so, but she didn’t even looked at me and her eyes were focused on the man in front of us who just appeared recently, ready to enter Leira’s room. My brow instantly got knotted upon watching their every reaction while staring with each other like they haven’t been talking for years. Their eyes are shouting with something very interesting and intriguing. Is there something between them without my knowledge? I pressed the holder of the wheelchair where Tangerine is holding, trying to distract her, but her mind is still out from her
