Chapter 28.1
Who doesn't get cold when you drink twelve shot glasses of whiskey immediately? So here I am now in my seat and I can hardly imagine what is happening to my other colleagues because I am so drunk. Their voices sounded like crickets to my hearing.
I felt heat behind me, as if caressing me and pulling me. I just turned to look at the band were the very hand that was caressing me came from. I just narrowed my eyes straight to the moonlight.
Chapter 29Something was shaking in my leg that caused me to fall asleep. I just rubbed my hand over my eyes and stretched. I slowly opened my eyes to see around as I put my hands back to caress my leg and took the shivering object.I was shocked when a worm appeared on the stem of this plant near where I am sitting now."Worm! Worm! F*ck this worm!" I shouted and stood up immediately. I didn't realize I had hit the button on my phone that I was holding earlier."Triah. Hello? Triah. Where are you now? We've been looking for you before! And actually last night! Where are you?" even though the phone was far away from me I could hear the voice coming from there.I did not turn to the caller. My attention is on the worm. I took off my slippers and tried to kill them but I suddenly felt guilty so I did not continue.But still continues to crack the voice calling.I approached the call to my ear and I was able to move away immediately because th
Chapter 30"What's going on here? Triah? Why are you crying? Oh! Jen and Karmi, what's going on?" Direct Lau shouted at us incessantly. But no one answered yet.I continued to moan, while Jen and Karmi caressed my back to lighten my mood."Are you dumb? What's going on?" Direct’s voice was disgusted.So only Esra answered."My brother Mike called, Direct, and informed that Triah's daddy was rushed to the hospital and said he was unconscious," he said to Derek."What? Is that just now?" Direct quickly approached me and comforted me. "Triah, maybe you visit your father now," Direct whispered sadly to me."B-But, Direct, how about our shoot, m-maybe we can finish for a long time---." Direct applied his finger to my lips to calm down."It's fine, Triah, which is more important?" Direct said, even though I know he also has a hard time deciding."But, direct, this movie is also important. We all know that we still have two more days to
CHAPTER 31I woke up earlier when I felt something itchy on my face, so now I am on the terrace of this rest house, around here you can see two long wooden chairs that used for resting. Wanting to rest for a while, now, I am drinking lemon juice in the refrigerator to wake up my mind."You're likely to occupy, Triah, are you okay?" Direct Lau approached my seat.I just simply nod and continue sipping my lemon juice."You know what, Triah? I truly appreciate your personality and attitude, because you're strong enough. To think about something in between yourself and others. You are not a selfish person. So you became an actress, because of your behavior. Yes, you're not as kind as what people look at you ones, but for us, you’re fellow in this job. We knew you, we knew already who Triah is. So when you return to the city, we know you are strong. To whoever despises you again? We believe in you, Triah, fight for the right. Okay?" Direct advised me at length
Chapter 32I could feel Jen and Karmi's sticky looks at me the next morning when Esra woke me up. I even had breakfast. I feel like they want to gossip, but they can't do it until now, because even now Esra is still with me. I don't know why he is like this. In fact, today is our last day here at the resort. Last shoot for this location.And most of all, I am excited to go home."Triah," Esra grabbed my attention while my eyes were on something else. Earlier, I watched them with Direct and our colleagues who were already preparing for the final scene."Hmm?" I asked."If---I hadn't been shy before, is there any hope for us?" my chest throbbed quickly due to nervousness."Huh?" I asked him. Even though I heard the words he uttered."If I was flirting with you then, is there any hope that you will answer me, yes?" he repeated.I was silenced before answering. "If I were you, for my part. No. I won't answer you yes. Because I'm still young. May
Chapter 33"Triah," something moved in my hand. "Wake up, we are here." He added.I stretched and scratched my eyes. When I remembered that Esra and I were on a trip. Shocks, I fell asleep with him."I'm really sorry, Esra, I did not mean to fell asleep. I'm also very sleepy. I thought we were still far away. Why didn't you wake me up?" While speaking I bothered to remove the seatbelt."Why would I? I couldn't wake you up, you're too cute when you’re sleeping." I avoided my face to him because I felt my cheeks getting hot."Hey, are you fine?" he inspected me."Ah, yes! I am fine. Let's go?" I change the subject again."Go ahead, I'll just call Mike, that he would fetch me out here." I took my phone and immediately typed it. But I had not finished typing yet, he immediately took my hand and his face was serious again."Just a moment, Esra." I struggled because of the tightness of his grip on me."Can you please stop? Do you want m
Chapter 34‘I want to tweak you until you’re dull! My hand is itching to shake her face on the floor! I shudder to rub hard consciences on the cement!'"What are you thinking? Are you still a coward? You still can't defend yourself, don’t you?" Mom told me loudly."I know how to be respectful and shy in front of other people. I'm not rude to raise a hand to my mother who doesn't care about me." I calmly remarked to her."What do you mean? I have no morals? Huh! I'm ashamed of you," she said incredulously and sighed as if she really couldn't believe my response to her today."If that's how you understand it, it's up to you to decide what I want to say." I paused and looked at dad. "Dad, I'll just leave you now. I'll be back." I said and leave a kiss on his forehead."Coming back?" Trisha's sarcastic response to the conversation.I also turned to her with a defiant look. "Yes my dear, sister.""Are you mocking
Chapter 35It's already ten in the evening and I couldn't sleep. I wanted to get out of the house, but I was afraid to get out alone. I still haven't eaten since then. I lost my appetite because of the fight that my mom, Trisha and I, had earlier. Until now, I still can't really quite figure out why mom is so mad at me.I thought about Mike, maybe his shift is over.Mike Vallejos 09xxxxxxxxxMe: Mike, get me home. I like to roam somewhere and take fresh air.After I sent my message, for only a few minutes, he replied immediately.Mike: Good timing! I would have gone home too. Wait for me. Are you at Marco Polo's house now?Me: No, I'm already in the mansion.Mike: What! Are you okay?Me: What's up? Just get me here first.Mike: Okay fine, Wait.Me: All right, I just dressed too. Be careful driving.Mike: Chos, when have you been concerned?Me: Crazy, all right.Mike: Yeah, babe.Me: Babe? Where did you get
Chapter 36I woke up, and I don’t know why I woke up so early today. My plan would have been about pass-eight. But maybe it's better if I get up early so that Karmi and Jen can catch up with me later for breakfast. I'll just buy what we can eat at the open restaurant. Former habits, fast-food again.No one is up at home yet, so there was no problem with me leaving. My morning is not ruined. Maybe it's good if it's always like this so that no one gets upset in the morning.I think about the short statement that mom and I had last night. She seemed to be disliking me, that even when my skin touched her skin, I was like a contagious virus. I shuddered at the annoyance last night, but out of respect. I am the one who needs to avoid it.I didn't realize that I was here at the door of my condo. I immediately swiped the card-key I was carrying, instead of pushing the bell button, so they could hear inside that someone was here outside. Maybe the two are still as
