The Third Wheel
On just one phone call made by her, Collin stood on her door. "I guess I was needed again," said Collin, slowly marching towards her.Till now, she had been sitting helplessly staring in the empty space and dwelling in her daze. But when his soothing voice entered her ears, pulling her out of tension, she missed a heartbeat and sighed heavily. "You don't even look surprised now," said Ursula with wavering eyes.He had already assumed what could have happened with her, because it was not at all the first time. "Did you guys argue again? Or shall I ask if it has reached to the point of violence?" he asked.She turned her head in opposite direction, serving silence as her answer. Collin tried to read her ambiguous expressions. "Sometimes, it feels like three of us are married. You both quarrel and then call me to listen to both of you." She looked towards him, narrowing her watery eyes. "It's also about you," said Ursula. "I thought you were different; that at least you are on my side.

Friendship
The two met in the most unfavorable times of their lives. Even when Oriel was in her worst look, her short pajamas and a sweatshirt, Ursula envied her youthful beauty. She was embarrassed to face her in the eye, with her withering face.The two ladies sat in a cafe, facing each other on two opposite ends of a table. "I'm really sorry that I wore your dress without your permission and also ruined it," said Oriel, breaking the silence."If I'm to do the justice then old the man I trusted with my dress is the one who should be punished," said Ursula."Please don't! I don't want him to bear the responsibility of the mistake that I made."The server brought the coffee that Ursula had ordered. He placed it on the table. She gracefully reached for the cup and took a sip out of the hot mug of coffee, relishing in its taste. "Well, it's sad that a person I trusted so much tried to fool me, lending my precious dress to people like you. I hate it when the lower class forgets their place and trie

Friend Or A Foe
"I am capable to help you. All you have to do is to ask me once, and I can get you out of this hell," offered Bruce. "I have absolutely no need for your help." Collin's voice was faint and barely audible to him. Bruce shoved the mop back inside the water filled bucket and approached him closer. "You will die if you keep that arrogance on, just go on and ask for my help." He persisted. Collin was on the verge of falling unconscious but a displeasing smirk formed on his lips. "How is a cleaner going to help me?" he jeered. "A cleaner?" emphasized Bruce. He looked downwards at his clothes and exclaimed, "God Damn! you are right. One can easily comprehend that. But to tell you the truth, I'm someone really special, having a lot of influence on this world. Today is just one of those days when I volunteer." Collin's faint smirk turned into loud chuckles. "Volunteering in a jail?" he asked. "Not even an orphanage but a jail?" Bruce smiled looking at him. "According to me, both orphanage

Air Occupy Space
At 1 o'clock, the bell for break time rang and children at the kindergarten went swarming outside in the playground. Oriel stayed in the classroom all alone. She was tired of smiling all day and talking incessantly with the children. Her cheeks ached and deep sighs were frequent from her mouth. 'What is it that she wants me to do?' she thought about Ursula's offer. She bit her lower lip in panic and just then, her poised phone rang up in her bag. She reached for it and checked the screen: there was a call from an unknown number. She was quick to answer it and said her first word, "Hello!" For next few seconds, no one spoke from the other end. "Hello, who is this?" "It's me! owner of the dress you ruined. I thought that you would have guessed that it was me by just listening to my breathing, but you didn't. Looks like you don't find my silence as intimidating as others do." Oriel's fingers gathered into a fist listening to her bluffs. She controlled her tone from going irritable a

The Investigation
The police officers kept the investigation going and interrogated Oriel, while rummaging the classroom thoroughly in the search of something."Officer, I request you to stop this. This is a kindergarten!" interrupted the principal."Please don't meddle in our work, we have received solid information that she has the possession of some highly addictive drugs, even at his moment."Mouths of the people watching the scene started to move, their whispers were undecipherable. Teachers, parents of the children, and people from management also witnessed the Officers ruffling every paper and book that lay on her desk."There's nothing that you will find there."Then suddenly, one of the officer got his hands on the empty box that she had put in one of the drawers of the chest. "I found something."The officer shook the box close to his hear but no sound departed it. "It seems empty though!"Oriel crossed her arms in displease, "So did you find any highly addictive drug? I hope that you will le

You Don't Know
Oriel gazed at him standing right before her. Her eyes were moist and her expressions were lifeless. "Even if I'm not the most perfect person to say this but I can see clearly that you have not lived your life properly," said Collin. Chilling air surrounded the two. Cloud of scorn encircled them. "I know why. This is because I have been deceived too many times in my life and I have still not learned my lesson. I keep end up trusting people." "That's so like you. You really enjoy to seeing yourself the victim and believe that everyone else have wronged you," retorted Collin. She laughed wryly and said, "Isn't that true?" She abruptly rose from her chair . "Even today, if your mother had not been around, none of this would have happened." Collin took a step further in her direction, shortening the distance between two feet. "Then why do you even live with her?" he asked. "Looks like someone has done some research on me but it could have been more accurate because she is the one wh

A Drive
Almost an hour went by, conversation of the two still hadn't come to an end. Oriel's blooming laughter was frequent from inside the car. Collin guarded the two, waiting outside. The temperature began to drop till he tightened the buttons of his suit. He rubbed his hands together to get some warmth. Every now and then, he kept stealing a glance at the uncaring people inside the car. "What's wrong with them?" Inside of the vehicle was warm and cozy. Mr. Bruce had almost no regard of the time or the chilly weather in which Collin stood shivering. As the temperature further dropped, Collin felt a thousand ants crawling on his body. His arms folded to cover his chest. But chatters of Mr. Bruce were nowhere over. AACCHOOO! Collin's sneeze was clearly heard by Oriel. She was finally distracted from Mr. Bruce. She looked out through the widow and saw him shivering like a puppy. "Oh no!" she exclaimed. "Please tell him to come inside, he catches cold easily." She immediately looked back u

A Nameless Chapter
As soon as Oriel came inside the living room of her small house, she found Bella to be sitting on a couch, having a slice of cake along with wine in a plastic cup. Bella saw her standing at the door and raised her glass in the air."Celebration! the day has brought my heart to peace when an arrogant fish is choking on its own little bone." She got up all tipsy from the couch and went closer to Oriel while dancing and singing in glee."What is all this?" demanded Oriel."I just felt like celebrating this wonderful day with a little wine, I know you can't tell it through this plastic cup but it is filled with some premium stuff inside. I couldn't help myself but spend all my money to buy this when I heard from our neighbors about what happened at school today," Bella ridiculed her."Your money? you mean the money that I give you as allowance from the salary that I work hard for... you spend that money to buy premium wine, just to celebrate the day I almost went to jail?" asked Oriel.Be

A Break Up
"Your delusions are getting worse day by day, we are going to Dr. Will's right now." He grasped tightly on her arm, trying to drag her from her feet. Her feisty personality didn't allow his force to work upon her; she freed her arm from his grip. "So now you are saying that I'm crazy?" "Isn't that what you wanted to prove by doing all this?" spoke Mr. Bruce. "You would have made an excellent actor. My friend is a film producer; I will give you his number. But this act isn't working on me anymore." "What makes you think that I'm cheating on you?" he asked. Suddenly, a man came walking toward them from the entrance. Ursula gestured him to come forward. "You think I'm acting like this on my assumptions, huh?" "Did you ask for me, mam?" the man asked. Mr. Bruce turned to take at look at him and saw the police officer from before standing there, lowering his head in front of her like a slave. "This is an old friend of mine. I can't believe that it is a just coincident that you went

Sunrise of every other day had always brought a new hope in her eyes, but it was not the case that morning. She feared another unpredictable day that stood before her.She rose from her bed, like every other morning, she fixed her bed and came outside in the living room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Bella completely passed out, and several liquor bottles on the floor around her. It was not something that she had seen for the first time. It had been a scene that she saw almost everyday, and it irked her each time the same.She walked on her toes, trying to pass through the mess that was scattered all over the floor: glass bottles, tissues, and peanut shells were lying across the whole room."If I am ever allowed to kill one person in this entire world. You bet it is going to be you, Bella."She came in her balcony and breathed in fresh air. The morning sunshine was pleasant and the narrow street down her balcony had started to liven up with the chatters of her neighbors."Lo
