Chapter 41

There is a profound silence in the room. No one dared to speak a word-only the dripping of water from the bathroom across the department can be heard. 

It is now clear in their minds that Miss Lisha is now pissed off.

"Speak, now." Lisha came back to her monobloc chair and tried to listen to their explanations, but Aaron seemed to be the only one who had the guts to speak to Lisha, whose head is twirling with different emotions.

"We knew who you are when we saw you the first time. All of us are interns here before the company hired us, right? It is more of what we have observed when we saw you, not totally gut instinct, as I remember." Aaron stated.

Lisha pondered for a second, rubbing her chin, thinking things deeply.

"Okay, then, what are you trying to say, Aaron? Get straight to the point, this discussion is being lengthy. Just answer my single question, and this issue is all done." Lisha grumbled, like a lion out of patie

She opened her handbag and got some tissue wipes from it, and wiped the vase with tissue wipes to clean off some remaining dust from it.An elegant woman, in her middle fifties, graced the plain room of Tanashiri. She began taking out some meals from the meal basket she left at the entrance door and opened the meal containers. She also has some fragrant flowers packed into bouquets."You brought this all by yourself? Why did you not call someone to help you with all these errands?""I heard these flowers I bought are good for comatose patients. Experts say that the smell of the pollens of these flowers stimulates the nervous system of comatose patients that helps them regain their consciousness easily. I will visit our son every day to bring him newly-harvested flowers of this kind."

It is a weird place for her, with silent murmurs everywhere. The longer she stays in that place, the more agonizing it is for her. She wants to cry her eyes out, she is really terrified.Some people there have grim facial expressions, and most of them aren't speaking a single word. More or so, for her, they look like zombies.

He is known to talk back to their school teachers, and punch other students whenever he likes.She thought that she would never experience that kind of treatment from her boyfriend. She thought that she is special, and would treat her differently from others.In front of everyone at that."Why are you shouting at me? What-what did I do?" Clarita asked her boyfriend.Paciano suddenly grabbed Clarita's arms which are burnt. He inspected her arm. It is now turning red."You should have been more careful.

    "Where did we go wrong, Clarita? Everything was so perfect. What happened?" She walked gracefull towards the bathroom, almost tiptoeing, to get some squeky clean towels. Her footsteps cannot be heard, even if she is wearing some heels. It is wide open, and the door entrance to the bathroom is not narrow, so she just easily entered inside. She regained her composure again after the violent commotion that happened between her and Paciano a while ago, so her usual self is shown again, like who she is, really, usually, as is seen and known by everyone-a flawlessly groomed woman, a refined and delicate daughter of a rich family famous in town. She did not answer his question, but did continue what she is doing inside the bathroom while humming in the tune of some Beethoven piece that is her favorite. She has some talent in arts, in singing, and is very fond of music. She is sorting the soft towels based on their colors and sizes, and got the softest towels in her

Thankfully, the bus conductor helped him carry his things and put them in the designated area of the bus. He sat in the remaining empty seat on the bus.

    It is an early Monday morning, and there’s an aching sensation in my chest. Why is my life this way? It is been months and I dream of that man every time I fell asleep who looks like me. I should be scared because he looks like me, but I am not. Seeing him makes me feel at ease, and makes me want to talk to him some more. But when I try speaking to him in my dreams, I just wake up, not blurting even a single word to him. It is frustrating. It's been months since she, and Lisha left China without a word to their superiors. A handful of incident reports are made by the two to explain why they left the group.“Hiraya, wake up! Hearing my name is very disappointing. It is not like any other common Filipino name. Having that name makes me an easy target for bullies in school. My mother is a Filipino language teacher. She adores the Filipino language very much. My name means the product of a person’s faith, ideas, and goals. Sometimes I get thanks to her for naming me Hiraya, because I usu

    The streets are in chaos. Everybody is shouting, the Japanese soldiers are searching every area, especially households and stores. Upon walking outside every area they searched, they are holding papers. Land titles. The vehicle is still full of people, disarray, when Jouri and Qiu looked at each other,unexpectedly. They seemed to read each other's minds. Qiu looked away, and searched for an opening. He saw that there is an empty seat at the back of the vehicle. A man had a heart attack minutes ago, and he was pushed out of the bus by one of the passengers. Qiu suddenly kicked his way out of the first row, and caught hold of Jouri's hand. 跳! Qiu and Jouri jumped from the vehicle. They tripped themselves all the way across the street. They are now safe. It is kinda silent in that area. Or they thought it was. They are now sitting on a cold brick, hiding themselves from the chaos. They are both breathing heavily, but Jouri's breathing is more frantic. And audible. Qiu put hi

    I am not adopted. I am a real member of the family, my family that was left behind on Poland soil. All her life, Jouri thought she is just adopted because she does not look Jewish. Because of it, the neighborhood, and her schoolmates, mocked her, and her appearance. "Your grandmother is Chinese, and she tried her luck in Poland. There, she met your grandfather, who is a Jewish businessman. You look like Chinese, unlike your siblings, because your grandmother's genes are more dominant in you," the frail-looking rabbi told her. She ran out of the restaurant as fast as she could, far, far away into the alleys of the streets of Shanghai to hide her mixed feelings. She does not know if she feels happiness, sadness, or both, knowing that she is not somebody her parents saved from an unknown orphanage. Jouri is enjoying her reverie when she heard three deep, loud sounds that echoed in her ears. Joyous conversations began to fill the place. People are starting to crowd in her place, and
