THE WORLD WE WANTED Alexis It was a beautiful morning, when the sun shone from the transparent curtains and spread its warmth on me. It was a hectic day yesterday and i was tired. I don't remember when i fall asleep. I didn't wanted to get up so i snuggled a bit more, lying next to my husband, Stefan. Suddenly, i realised that he wasn't in the bed and i panicked. He never left me unattended, even in my sleep, than how did he left me alone today? Before i could get out from the bed and look for him, he entered in the room with a tray in his hand. There was a delioys aroma of coffee filled in the room with my favorite Choco chop cookies. "Happy anniversary, love" he greeted me with a kiss on my lips and put the tray on the other side of the bed, the he went down to touch my swollen belly and kissed it too. "Good morning, little one. I miss you everyday and i wait everyday to meet you. When are you coming to see your parents?" He was talking to the baby like a child. "This is stu
In the middle of a glorious day, the clouds appeared from nowhere. It started to pour rain from above and drenched each leaf in the wood. The town had never seen such a storm before. The harsh winds blew as they were taking revenge against nature for exploiting them.The thunderbolts fell in the deep woods, starting a fire in the drenched forest. The lightning keeps roaring in the dark sky.All the residents locked themselves in their houses as they predicted that demons were arriving. Some of the houses destroyed or lightning killed many people. Every living being is terrified of nature's aggression. Many humans kept praying for the demons to calm down and show mercy on them but the weather didn't seem to get any better.A loud and awful thunderbolt growled within the clouds, breaking the sky…
AlexisThe sky was shining beautifully under the embrace of the glorious sun and instead of enjoying the evening with Aunt Sol, I was running to get on time for an interview.I can't remember the last time when I had free time. All the time, I had pushed myself to get a decent job. Of course, the city has provided me with a better and more peaceful place but the money I have earned here isn't enough.I have thanked God that we haven't starved but life is above that. We are a job away from becoming homeless. The bills, due dates, and living life since the moment I came out of the hospital.I don't remember what my life was like before the accident. I don't even remember how I got in an accident. Every time I try to recall the memories, my head hurts. Again, I
AlexisJust as I expected, Aunt Sol was more than mad, she was disappointed that I didn't inform her that I was going to be late."Young lady? Is this time fine for you to come home?" She flared her nostrils while glaring at me."I can explain… but let me in first…" I insisted.Although, she let me in the house but she kept following me to the room. I knew that she was curious and eager to know about my interview. And that's where the fear in my heart erupted."How was the interview? You haven't broken the silence… is everything okay?" She was concerned."Let me change first, then I will discuss something with you…" I sighed heavily and Aunt Sol provided me with some personal space.As soon as she left, I changed my clothes quickly and rushed to the bathroom in order to wash my face. Since there was No makeup painted on my skin, it was visibly clean with one wash.Soon after, I went down
AlexisThe sweet peas aroma had filled in my nostrils and it drove me to the kitchen counter, where my Aunt was preparing the breakfast. I descended the stairs and carried my luggage along. Although it was heavier than I expected at first, I tried to be as quiet as I could. Once I brought all the three suitcases, I sat on the stool next to the counter and watched Aunt preparing breakfast for us.Last night, I packed all of the stuff I might require. In fact, Aunt Sol asked me to put everything I need but It would be too much. In case I need anything, I can come back anytime and take it. It was a great night spent well. I mean, we both learned a lot from everything. She learned the technology and I learned to be patient with time.I dressed up in casual boots and jeans with a jacket to cover. Having a bad hair day wasn't the worst thing I encountered in the morning, I pinned them in a messy bun. But, leaving Aunt Sol and shifting to another place, it would be dif
AlexisAlways been an early bird in my life, and always watched the peace and silence of the morning to be glorious. However, this place doesn't seem to sleep at all. When I woke up in the morning, I went out to breathe in fresh air. I stayed near the room because I didn't want to get lost in this labyrinth. I found most of the workers running and working even before dawn. It was surprising to my eyes.Of course, this place is huge and requires clean maintenance, that's why the human resources are huge in numbers. The Porsche ambience of the castle was screaming luxury and I was afraid of being a part of it. I might be staying in a palace but I wasn't the queen.After a short walk, I headed back to the room and went to take a bath. Today, it will be an important day for me as I, as a teacher, am going to teach
AlexisAs quiet as a mouse, this room was closed and I was suffocating inside. My chest was burning like a coal mine but I pretended to be unaffected. This place doesn't seem to be ventilated either, except for the vents for the air conditioner. They were working perfectly, however, I was sweating.As I started to breathe heavily, Stefan stood closer to me. This closeness made me take a few steps back. I do love people around me but I love my personal space more than anything. I glared at him and he stared back at me. There was mischief lingering in his eyes and I was aware that he was not upto anything good."Mr Donovan, I asked you to give me the list of your books and your syllabus. I need to work on your schedule." I said while hyperventilating cleanly.He noti
AlexisIt was evening outside and the clouds clustered in the sky. The sun was high at the end and soon it will sleep within the horizon. I watched the birds fly from the trees along the gentle breeze. I sighed as I watched them palpitating their wings. I envied their freedom.My head was dizzy and my eyes were swollen. I cried since I locked myself in the room. Never bothered to answer any of the knocks. I regret coming here when Aunt Sol was against it. She was right when she said that No one knows what happens behind those walls.I should have heard her and admitted. But no, all I wanted was to create a better life for us. It was damnly confusing to leave this place. I never thought demons and evils could be real. Everything is delusional!!! I wanted to scream and pour out everything in my heart. But i can'
