Lahat ng Kabanata ng INNOCENCE : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Days have passed since that incident happened. Hazel was trying to overcome it and it was even working. Of course, it will. When Irene made her understand that she should be thankful that he did not move further or rape her. It could have been worse but she survived. In such a situation, she should have thanked God, not him, which she did every moment. But he harassed her—the thing irritated her even more. It was hard to forget. She could not forget how he ripped her clothes off her. She could not forget how he marked her skin like an animal. Not that easily. Even though he had a charming personality, she got scared whenever she remembered him. His face horrified her every time. Because his face always reminded her of that night. The memory was so bad and dark that it had imprinted itself like a dark ink in her mind which was not ready to be washed away. Because of this, she started having nightmares every night, so the next morning she used to get a light layer of sweat on her fore

Sitting inside his car at some distance from those two girls, he was looking at one of them with a deep emotion that was hidden in his eyes. Shiddat. This was the first time he felt this. With depth. He did not know why such a deep emotion was ready to take shelter in his heart. His heart was hard, no emotion ever wanted to settle there. As if there was a wish, he wanted it to be fulfilled. Softness did not want to go away from his eyes. Hazel, was the first girl who forced him to feel like some thirst. Thirst! Yes, it was thirst. There was such a thirst that only her body could quench. The drops that wrapped around her body, slipping down from her skin, were reaching down, quenching their thirst from the touch of her skin. Weird? Can even the drops ever be thirsty? Maybe it could be. Otherwise, wrapped around her body, they would not have settled themselves in her. He licked his bottom lip, an urge of licking the drops off her skin was itching him. Then he did not even regret a

“Eliseva, please, open the door! Please, do it!” Hazel yelled, banging on the door. She knew that shouting like such a lunatic was a waste because it had happened before. Eliseva was not going to listen to her. Hazel needed to spend time there according to the punishment. But that could not happen to her. She was very afraid of the dark. She used to suffocate in the dark, as she was suffering now. She was having trouble breathing. The dust around her had succeeded in suffocating her. Her condition worsened due to his frequent coughing and sneezing. Tears slid down her eyes. Her cheeks were completely wet. Her eyes had turned red, and the dust around was making everything difficult for her. It had been a long time since that room was cleaned.She sobbed and sat down. She leaned her back against the wall—near the door and tried to take a deep breath while hugging her legs to her chest, only to release another sneeze. She could not do it anymore. “It wasn’t my fault.” Apart from thi

She reached so far but the station was still far away from her. Most importantly she was not sure if the path on which she was walking was right or wrong. She visited the station only once in her life when she was eight years old. She did not remember very well but she could recognize the turn once she saw it. She knew what she was doing. She kept running. Breathing heavily. But her steps did not stop. Her heart was beating so loudly and her muscles were aching, still, she paid no attention to it. She was just thinking about the contentment she was going to receive after reaching another city. She stopped for a moment and looked behind her. Only silence met her ears and the emptiness of the road met her eyes. She was grateful once again that there was truly nobody behind her. Perhaps those lazy bodyguards had no idea about anything. When she turned her head to the front, she saw two shining lights. She frowned but when the object reduced some distance, she recognized it was a c

Groaning in pain, she forced her eyes to shoot open. She did not know how much time she had wasted like this and the twinge in her head was not helping her thinking. It still was making her feel dizzy. It was heavy and she was finding difficulty even in frowning. Her head was aching as soon as the slightest pressure she applied on her mind. Sighing slowly, she shook her head softly and looked around herself. Three dark walls surrounded her and a few metal bars were standing in front of her. White light was threatening from the other side of those bars. The floor beneath her was also covered with dust. All this was enough to make her realize where she was. It was a jail. And she was surprised that she was kept behind bars, whereas criminals are kept behind bars. What crime did she commit that she was cast here? Although it was necessary to know the answer to that question, she got up without thinking anything and started trying to reach the bars, but the very next moment, she fell
