Moonlight Desire

Amira's Point Of ViewI WOKE UP because of the sunlight coming through the window. I was disappointed because I thought it was all just a dream. I thought that when I woke up things would be back to normal, but they weren't.I looked at my wrists because they were still sore. It's red, there's dried blood, and there are wounds. I can't help but to feel sorry for myself because of what I'm going through right now. I'm having a hard time. It seems like any moment my body will give up because of the bad things that I'm facing.I stopped looking at my wound when I suddenly felt my stomach churning due to hunger. It's my second day here but I haven't eaten yet. I know I'm the only one to blame because I don't accept the food he gives me.When I heard I heard and saw the doorknob move, I immediately retreated and covered my whole body with the blanket. I weren't wrong. The monster man spat out from the door carrying a plate containing bacon, eggs, hotdogs and fried rice. I felt my stomach c

Amira's Point Of View"Wake up, sleepy head." I uttered then kissed Nala on her forehead.Six years, it's been six years since 'that thing' happened to me. I have to admit, I still haven't forgotten the bad things that he did to me. I thought that I wouldn't want Nala to live, but when I gave birth to her, everything changed. When I heard her cry and held her, it seemed that all my anger, problems and fears disappeared.I smiled when I saw her slowly open her eyes. "Good Morning, Mom," she greeted while smiling then sat on the bed and hugged me tightly.I also hugged Nala back then invited her to come to our small kitchen to eat."I'm sorry, baby. This are the only foods that Mom can give you for your breakfast," I said with a forced smile regarding to the egg and hotdog on the dining table.My employee took all my savings away and ran with tons of money last month. I tried to look for him but no matter what I did I couldn't find him. Right now, I work as a Janitress in a company so t

Amira's Point Of View "Mommy!" Nala shouted when I got to Eryl's house. Nala was currently playing in Eryl's fence while Eryl is busy grilling the dish. I greeted Nala's tight hug with a smile. "I missed you, Mama," she said softly. I smiled widelyy because of what Nala said. Nala is sweet a and a very kind child. She's the type of person that would be nice to have as a friend or relative because as long as she can understand, love, and forgive, she will definitely do it. In fact, I see myself in her, something that scares me. It is scary because she can also be abused and exploited. "We've only been apart for a few hours, huh?" I smiled then kissed her on her cheek before I walked closer to Eryl. "Hello, Amira! How's work?" Eryl said with a smile as she fanned what she was grilling to make the flame stronger. I smiled and immediately told her what happened to me at work. Eryl is like my best friend. I am very thankful to the Lord because He gave me a friend like her. I stoppe

Amira's Point Of View "Ez. I am Ez," the man said after he cleared his throat. I was horrified by the voice of Ezekiah's brother—something that made me frown. Different, I have a different feeling in that voice which I think is familiar to me. "H-have we met before?" I uttered. There was silence between the three of us. I was about to speak again when Ezekiah's brother suddenly spoke. "No, we haven't." He seriously said. "Is that so? Your voice sounds familiar," I said. Ezekiah spoke again and told many things about her family and life. Her older brother have died because of a car accident while his Mommy and Daddy are in another country busy with their company. Ezekiah asked me where my house at. At first, I was going to just get off at the tricycle terminal but she insisted on taking me to my house. Eryl texted me that she and Nala were at home because Nala was thinking about her cat, Bujiji. "Thank you very much, Ezekiah." I uttered. "The rain has stopped, do you want to

Amira's Point Of View "Mom, it's so beautiful here!" Nala excitedly said, causing me to force a smile on my face. When we finally entered the house—mansion of Ezra's parents, Ezekiah immediately greeted us. I frowned as I remembered the man who was with Ezekiah at our house the other night. That's why the voice and volume of that man are familiar because Ezra and Ez are the same. "Hello, Amira!" Ezekiah said causing me to smile and tearfully hug her. I am afraid not only for myself, but also for my daughter. Maybe Ezra's family doesn't know what he did to me back then. His family is kind and welcoming, which made me think that they might already know the situation, that Ezra and I have a child. "Aunt Ezekiah!" Nala shouted. "Hello there, baby! Do you want me to tour you around?" Ezekiah spoke with a smile. "Yes!!" Nala first waved to her Grandparents then immediately joined Ezekiah. "G-good day," I said nervously. Ezra's parents smiled and immediately invited me to their di
