I was silent for the whole day upon watching them having fun in front of me as if nothing happened lately. Leira came back to playing after being drowned in the pool, and here I am, sitting with peace, thinking how did my breakdown happened? All I did is to hug myself, think how to make myself feel better for me to end this day with a smile on my face. I took the glass of water Steffano prepared beside me in case I am thirsty. That’s what he said. I didn’t expected to experience that kind of breakdown again. I thought, I am fully healed after another trauma, but I guess, I am still stuck by that certain trauma. Do I really deserve to feel and experience this kind of life? As I was looking at Leira who came back to playing beside the pool, her mother’s eyes instantly captured my mind, so I tightened my grip to the handle of the bench and took a deep breath for me to calm down again. I can’t help but to reminisce the happening of me, being in a certain car accident with Leira’s mo
“Hmm... I know. Tell me once done. Yes, Hon.” A gulp escaped upon my throat after hearing him saying that and tried roaming my eyes elsewhere for me to end this gulping session of mine. In the end, I decided to take a very deep breath before walking towards Leira to play with her, and also, to stop myself from eavesdropping. It will only up me to no good. A moment of silence instantly came, then a hundred of reasons why I should despise him instantly popped like bubbles in my mind, so I slightly tilted my head upon unconsciously nodding in disbelief upon watching the kid joyfully playing alone in front of me, trying to ease her boredom. I pressed my lips togethr, thinking I almost forget how I hated him days before this set-up happened. Good thing, I didn’t bit Steffano’s bait after being teased by his I-don’t-know-how-to-call-it thing. I gulped once again after realizing that I almost ate his bait. Almost but I didn’t. Maybe I should be thankful to his mistress that she called
My eyes got widened due to what happened that I could even feel the tingling sensation from my feet down to the very bottom of my whole being. This feels so unexplanable! And the worse thing is, I love the scene of having him around, much closer to me. His lips crossed the distance between mine and even it is just an accident and unintentional, it still made my heart skipped its normal beating, and all I could feel is his lips and his touch from my palm. It is so tender that I was driven by it. I could feel nothing but the most unusual feeling that I haven’t felt before. I can even do nothing but to be rooted in place, upon still trying to figure out what to do in order for me to distance myself to him, since my mind is no longer working with my body, for the reason that my body is a traitor. It can’t work in accordance of my mind! I was in turmoil! His hand from my finger instantly got tightened, making me got so close to him. So close that I can feel even the every part of his b
I can’t help but scream my heart’s out upon trying to run away from his grip. He grabbed my feet when I was about to escape on the pool, trying to gather myself together. I am dead wet and here he is, laughing on what he did to me! This is not the first time I saw him laughing like this, but after years, I witnessed him in this state again. Even Leira is now joining with what her dada is doing, making me almost give them a dagger look, for I am fully aware that they were now making fun of me. They were laughing with my every reaction, so tightened my fist, pretending to be mad at them. But in the end, I gave up and gathered myself together to take my revenge. I will never let this skip just like that. I have motioned my body to come closer to Leira and immediately lifted her without her knowledge, which made the kid screamed with giggles. Steffano, on the other hand, is just looking at us with his smile, revealing his dimples. But I tried not to be affected by it and took a deep
I can’t help but to admire the beauty of the falls, streaming in the midst of this hidden magestic forest, together with the chirping of different variety of birds who are staring at me with confusion as I savor the coldness of the wind. I hugged myself as I was just sitting next to the big trunk of one of the huge trees that is nodding in the clear water. The serenity is beyond compare as I was feeling deafened due to the silence together with the rhythm of the wind that was being sang by the nature. How I wish to live with this kind of peacefulness. I gestured my hand on air, trying to feel being free just by trying to reach the sky with my vulnerable sight. My worries will surely be gone, together with those traumatizing past that keeps on taunting me if I will stay like this forever. I have been hoping for it to stop for I can no longer take the pressure in my mind. I took a deep breath upon hugging myself, thinking if I will still go back to that house after what happened. As
My eyes were focused on the coffee I am holding while my mind is nowhere to be found. I was being covered with a very thick coat while my feet were being placed on the couch, upon thinking about what happened in the forest. My lips were trembling with a tangled mind. The man in front of me was seriously staring at me as I was looking straight at my coffee. We were both silent while he is measuring my action. “Euphoria.” My body slightly jumped when he uttered my name, making me drop the coffee and now, it was being scattered on the floor. Good thing, it is no longer not that hot, but I still could feel its warmth throughout my feet. Steffano got alerted and instantly crossed our distance, but I moved my body away from him so he paused from trying to hold my hand and pressed his lips together. Every time I think about those armed men in the forest, I can’t help but reminisce how Steffano killed the woman I thought is his mistress in front of me. “Y-You killed her...” I instantly
I woke up due to the light coming from the window which keeps invading my sight, making me instantly gestured my hand on air for me to gaze the whole place with freedom as my other hand is busy cupping my body. I could not help but to yawn due to tiredness that is surrounding my whole being. I blinked twice upon sensing myself when I found something unusual about myself, trying to figure out what happened last night, and my eyes got widened together with my vision in an instant upon realizing I am fully naked as I was hugging myself with a blanket, so I motioned my body in an swift motion and placed my back on the headrest with immediate momentum, trying to digest the happening before I came back my senses. I looked at everything that surrounded me to and forth, thinking that might situation right now is so stupid for me to handle. I can’t help but to bite my lips to control my frustrations as I lifted the white blanket that was covered in my body in a slow motion. My mind is now tan
I took a long sip on the coffee I am holding as I was busy sitting next to Leira beside the plain field on the backyard. I don’t know what have gotten into my mind that I chose drinking coffee in the midst of the sunny day that keeps on touching and almost burning even the inner part of my body, instead of drinking an iced tea or something cold, just like what Leira is drinking right now.I didn’t expected this house to have a huge plain field in the backyard since the first time I saw this, is I thought, this is just a simple yet cozy house. In short, this will be the place without surprises. But this house proved me wrong. I am only wearing a loose sleeveless black top and a short with my bare foot being placed on the bottom of the bench, while Leira is wearing same with my clothes but opposite to my color. As of this moment, we decided to take a deep rest, doing nothing but to satisfy ourselves being in silence, and just take a gaze at the beauty of the nature ahead us. I was abo
