"Choose wisely Sereia," Zadkiro reminded me while I was busy answering the form that was given to me for my enrollment. We just finished submitting all my requirements and all that's left for me to do is answer the enrollment form. I was answering it already and now I need to put what course I get. "I've thought of it already, I want to be a teacher. I will enroll in education," I said and smiled at him. He returned the smile and nodded. "Well then, write it down now if you're very sure of it." I wrote 'Bachelor of Elementary Education' on my form and signed it afterward. I can't explain how happy I am today that my dream to continue studying has come true. Thanks to Zadkiro, everything went well. If it wasn't for his help, it would be hard for me to have a birth certificate and request my cards from my former school. He did it secretly without notifying any of the people who had connections in the orphanage. The school year is about to start one month and two weeks from now. I

"Can I come in?" After I heard three knocks on the door of the room where I was staying, it was followed by Zadkiro's voice. I stopped fixing my bed and went closer to the door to unlock it. It was past ten in the evening when I went here in the room to sleep after eating my dinner with Rosia. Zadkiro and his friends were still in the living room when I walked past them and now I just finished washing up. I was supposed to sleep already when I heard Zadkiro knocking. I opened the door and saw him. "H-Hey, uhm. Mind if I come in for a minute? I-I just want to talk to you," he said in a low voice while looking at the floor shyly. I secretly sniffed in the air to confirm if he was drunk and I didn't smell any alcohol from him. I hummed and nodded when he raised his head to meet my eyes. It's his house anyway. I opened the door widely for him to come in. He stepped inside and waited for me to close the door. "You can sit on the bed, don't worry I just changed my duvet yesterday so

"Aish! Why do I need to wash all of these? Don't you have a washing machine? My hands are reddish already," I complained and looked at Santiago. He was sitting beside me with his legs crossed while cleaning his nails with that pink liquid and white cloth. Zadkiro assigned him to look after me and make sure I did all the laundry before dawn. This is my punishment and it was against my will because I don't own any of these clothes. All of this was bedsheets, dark clothes that I don't know who owns, and pillowcases. I don't know how long I've been handwashing these but I am already tired and my hands are starting to get swollen. "We do have a washing machine, but Sir Zadkiro told me not to allow you to use it," he nonchalantly answered. "How heartless," I mumbled and continued doing my work. Maybe I could finish this tomorrow if Zadkiro finishes it, I won't mind. I think it's better than doing nothing. "By the way Santiago, can I ask you a question?" I started a conversation betwe

"How stupid could you be?! Your task was the simplest among every mission that a mafia could do! Why did the fuck did you fail?" I haven't reached the ground floor of this mansion yet but I can already hear Zadkiro's loud voice coming downstairs. I was planning to get a drink for myself since the weather was a bit cold but I did not expect to hear Zadkiro's thundering voice, he seemed to be scolding his men. That's what I guess because I could see a lot of men in black inside the house. I used to see them outside and if ever I saw them inside, they were not this many. Perhaps Zadkiro gathered them 'cause something happened and that's what made him upset. I continued walking on the stairs until I could finally see what was happening. Zadkiro was panting while his hands were resting on his waist. He looks mad and frustrated at the same time while his men are silently looking down. Some noticed my presence but no one made a reaction about it. They all look worried and problematic

"Come out come out little Sereia, Mommy wants to hug you now." I covered my mouth in order not to create any sound while trying to fit myself in this cabinet. I was shaking and sweaty because of fear. I don't understand why Mommy was holding a knife with blood on it and was trying to attack me using it. She isn't like this, she was lovely and she used to make me feel loved. What happened to her? I peeked through the small hole in the cabinet and I saw her smiling like a devil while sitting on my bed. Mommy was playing with the knife in her hand like she was being possessed. "I only want to hug my baby Sereia. Why is she hiding from me?" she said talking to herself. I wanted to run towards her and hug her but I know she's not in her normal self. Maybe I should just wait for my Daddy and ask for help. I'm sure he'll be here anytime soon. "Na ah ah, now where are you Sereia! Show yourself or Mommy's gonna be mad at you?" She looked around and I almost jolted when her eyes st

"Pick the clothes that are comfortable for you, I could suggest but it might not be your fashion," Zadkiro said after I asked him what clothes I should pick. I was surprised when he invited me to come here and told me we should buy things for myself. I refused but he said it's one of his ways to say sorry for the trouble that he did not cause. I don't know where my clothes were from the orphanage, maybe I left them on the road where they grabbed me or they threw them away. "What about long sleeves and jogging pants?" I asked, showing him the stall where different clothes are presentably arranged. That's what I usually wear but I still want to ask his opinion since it is his money that we're going to use to pay for my needs. "Okay then, grab as many as you want. We don't know when we'll be back here again." I only nodded at him and started picking the colors that I wanted. I decided to choose a plain one, I don't want too many designs on my clothes because it doesn't look go
