Her mother's incapability of working put double pressure on Eloisa. She worked overtime everyday but the money was not enough. At one point, she thought of asking Uncle Alex for extra money they needed to pay the loan sharks this month. But unfortunately for her, Uncle Alex went to his hometown, he was not a native here, to settle some problems with his family property he had there. He would stay there for two weeks. In the meantime, he gave Eloisa to take care of the pub as she was capable enough to do that. It seemed to her that every unfortunate thing was happening to her. Her mother's sudden accident coupled with handling the pub all by herself and upcoming date to pay loan were taking a toll on her. But she was not even within the mindset to pause for a moment and take a break from everything. Her time was running as she ran along with it. There was no time to pause. No time to contemplate.

Eloisa woke up panting. She was sweating profusely like she had ran a marathon. Her eyes were still unfocused. She rubbed a hand over her face. Waking up from nightmare was not unusual for her. After that traumatic day, there had not been a single night that she did not have that nightmare. The first few nights she would wake up screaming at the top of her lung, waking up her mother and brother in the process. And sometimes a few neighbors too. After one month passed, she learned to contain her screams. She told everyone that she did not have anymore nightmares. At first, her family did not believe her. But when she started acting like everything was normal, they started to believe that she was fine. But nothing was fine. Though her family did not need to know that. They were already dealing with their own pains. They did not need to worry about her. She still shivered when she thought back to that day. 10th August 2019. That was the day when the tragedy of her life happened
