"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

"Hey, let's calm down Sereia," Zadkiro immediately said after he locked the door of the kitchen. I saw Rosia go inside first before the door was closed. She sat on the table where we were cutting vegetables, I can tell that she's still mad because of her facial expression. "Your friend disrespected Rosia. Not because she is your maid, it gives them the right to treat her the way they want to. She has feelings too Zadkiro," I retorted. I glanced at Rosia and I caught her looking at me while biting her lower lips. No matter how she denies that she's hurt, I will still fight for her. Aside from Devika, she's the only friend that makes me feel comfortable. I'm just staying here for weeks and not years but she treated me with respect and acceptance. "I know Sereia. Just like you, I don't like what she did but I don't want to correct her in front of our friends, and not in front of his boyfriend." I shook my head. "So it's okay that Rosia was treated like that in front of your fr

"Rosia, don't you have a substitute here or someone who helps you do all the household chores?" I asked Zadkiro's maid while I was sitting at the kitchen table, watching Rosia slice the vegetables that she would use to cook for our dinner. Zadkiro went somewhere and I didn't ask where he was going, but until now he hasn't come back. Perhaps it is a personal matter that I shouldn't ask. "I'm the only maid here Ma'am. Since I don't do laundry, all I do is cook, wash, and clean." She stopped what she was doing and looked at me. "My job here is not heavy Ma'am, my mother used to work for Sir Zadkiro's family that's why they are taking care of me. Nice right? I feel special," she joked and giggled before continuing. I couldn't help but smile at her bubbly attitude. I sat comfortably while I watched her carefully put all the chopped vegetables in a bowl and get another. "How about cleaning the pool, trimming the flowers outside and the bushes? Is that part of your job?" I curiously a

"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
