Chapter 13
"Have you met before?"
"Yes, Inspector Finn. He was that pervert guy in the coffee shop."
"Woah! Careful with your accusation, Miss."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"I was just trying to save you."
"I think you better talk about that later." The Inspector laughed awkwardly. "We need to talk about the case of Celina here."
I sighed and go back to my seat. My brow rose up when he sat in my front. What the fvck! Why is he smiling? I rolled my eyes and averted my gaze, feeling annoyed.
We just talked about the current update of the case. Good thing it lasted for less than thirty minutes, I guess. The fvck! We waited for this asshole longer than the discussion. I shook Inspector Finn's hand after the meeting. I looked at the hand in front of me for a moment.
My head tilted u
Chapter 14My mind was occupied when I took a step out of the elevator. I shook my head while walking, trying to forget what he said earlier. He knows nothing about me so who is he to meddle in my life. The dark and empty unit of mine greeted me. Ten years ago, I was really scared of dark places. But now it became my comfort. Since I don't have work today, I decided to clean my unit. I can't do this during weekdays because of my busy schedule. I changed the curtains and the pillow suitcase. I just spent the whole day cleaning and making my house more organize and aesthetic. I demolished those things I don't need because that's only taking up space. THE next day, I went to Mall to buy some groceries. I need to restock again because my fridge and food pantries are nearly empty. This is my favorite part of being independent. Buying everything I want from my own money. This is indeed satisfying. I pushed my cart as I am walking to the toiletries section. "Ugh! Why did
PROLOGUE In a small village of Sta. Villaduca people are living peacefully and contented in their simple life. Farming is the source of living of the villagers. Avi, a six years old girl is watching the beautiful view of golden rice field from the window of their small house. She grew up in this village and she really loves this place. "Avi!" Someone called her from the outside. When she looked down she saw her friends waiting for her. They are the daughters of their neighbors. All of them grew up in the same place that is why they are really close to each other. "What is it?" the little girl asked curiously. "Do you want to play with us?" the girl with a clip on hair asked. "Sure. What are we going to play?" she asked with a hint of excitement. "Hide and seek," the girl answered. "Sure! Just wait me there." Avi ran down on the wooden stairs and told to her mom
CHAPTER 1—Cleavira’s POV—“Ma!” I called my mom with full of excitement.I balanced myself and watched my every step not to slide because if that’s happened, I would surely swim on the muddy rice field. I just arrived from my Junior High Moving up. Sadly, my mother did not attend on my graduation because she had a lot of things to do in the farm. We are poor that is why she need to work hard for our living and to support my education.“Wow Avi! You have medals again. You are real genius.” Our neighbor greeted me.“Thank you, Mang Kasyo.” I smiled and excused myself.“How’s the Moving up ceremony?” My Mom asked, sweats are running down on the side of her face.I know she's tired in planting grains especially in this hot weather. But she did not give up because she's doing it for me. She wants to give me a better
CHAPTER 2I headed to my room and wear my clothes. My body is trembling in fear as I am doing my things. I don't know why Tito Dante was watching me while I was taking a bath. But I know there is something wrong. I have to be careful all the time especially when he is around. I ran out of the house and jumped on a jeepney that would bring me to school.I want to confront him but there is something that hinders me, a fear maybe. I will tell this to my mom later. She needs to know this. I have to warn her. After my class I go home hoping that my mom is already in the house. The time I have been waiting for came. It's near twilight and Tito Dante is not around. I think this is a good opportunity to tell this to my mother."Ma, can we talk?" I asked my mom who is busy putting out from the eco-bag some vegetables from the Market."Sure, about what?" She held the knife and started cutting the onions.I took a deep
CHAPTER 3THE sun rises and I immediately ran to the bathroom. I poured myself with the cold water. I am trying to clean myself because I feel so dirty because of what he did to me. This is something really disgusting! I rubbed my body trying to remove the dirt that I know would never be removed."AAAHHHHHHH!" I shouted in anger as my tears burst out in hatred.I covered my mouth to prevent my mouth to cry loud. My body is trembling in fear and grief. But my fear arises more when the door opened forcedly by the man who raped me."Don't come close! Stay away from me!" There it is again, his devilish smile that gives me goose bumps."Ssshh! Do you enjoy the last night?" He laughed like a demon."Fvck you! I hate you! Go to hell!" I can't prevent myself to say bad words. I want to curse him to death."Yes! Yes! Oh! Fuck me yeah! Do you want me to fvck you huh?""I hate you! You're
CHAPTER 4It was Thursday and the twilight made me feel empty. It's near evening again, the time when people deserve a rest from a tiring day. I hope I can rest as them too without demons playing inside my head. How I wish I could live a normal life like I used before. Every night, I have a fear to remain awake at the middle of the darkness. The silence pushes me to overthink more and more.I stared on myself in front of full length mirror. Tears started to run on my face as the rape scene appeared in my mind. I punched my head trying to forget it. I feel pity for myself as I am looking at my reflection. My visions travel around the room. This room seems like a room of Barbie doll. But sadly, the doll here is not a Princess but a slave, a slave of her own fear and horrific past.My life before wasn't comfortable as this. But at least I was not living in fear. I can eat and enjoyed my foods. I can sleep at night in peace and not as this.
"M-Ma." My tears escaped from my eyes like an open faucet. Fears runs on my veins when I heard the word pregnant. My mind is loaded with random thoughts about the possible pregnancy. She walked towards me with a frown face. "Who's the father?" she asked in anger. Her voice almost echoed in the kitchen. "T-Tito Dante, mom," I answered as my tears burst out. I am anxious right now! "Liar! Will you please stop creating stories, Avi? Stop destroying this family. Why would you not just admit that you have a secret boyfriend and you flirt? Then you got pregnant!" "Ma, I don't have a boyfriend. You know that." I cried. "I was not always around. I can't see your actions. Maybe you are doing something behind my back. My goodness, Avi! You are just sixteen years old. Too young to be a mother." Frustration is visible on her face. "I never wanted this." Never! "That is definitely a shame for our fami
Chapter 6"Ma, please don't do this," I begged kneeling in her front."Avi, you're too young. You cannot be a mother at that age. This is for you, okay?" She smiled out of herself.This is not my mom. She's definitely other person possessed by a demon."Mom, look at me! I'm your daughter. Please wake up! You're loving a monster. He should be throw in jail.""No, Avi. We will not do that, okay? You will not do that!" She yelled and looked on the sorroundings like a crazy woman.I tried to escape but I was caught by the demon and took me back to the stock room. They locked me there... hopeless. Sometimes love is not good for a person specially if you become obsess. And that is what my mother experienci
