CHAPTER 18
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Everyone went to the after-party of the ballet concert and there were critiques, well known-ballet dancers and critiques. Catherine’s mother had organized several ballet concert and shows but it sometimes still surprises her that her mother had so much connection.
Catherine didn’t plan on going to her mother’s ballet concert but her mind changed because of Lyra. She went wearing jeggings and an over-sized button-up polo paired with her jelly-shoes while everyone was in their best formal dresses.
‘I surely stand out in the crowd.’ Catherine thought. She was scanning the place when she saw her mother talking to Lyra’s professor who did nothing but criticized Lyra. She approached them and they didn’t seem to notice her.
“Lyra is such an extravagant dancer. She’s the best in my class.” The instructor praised.
“I’m sure you e

Catherine woke up with Lyra beside her and couldn’t help but admire Lyra. Catherine noticed that Lyra has a small face and that she looked like a porcelain doll.Catherine couldn’t help but kiss Lyra’s cheeks which made Lyra wake up. She was squinting her eyes due to the light coming from Catherine’s window. Catherine smiled “Good Morning, mibal.”This made Lyra blushed and immediately sat up. Catherine didn’t want to remember what happened yesterday when she cried to Lyra. She felt stupid for showing her vulnerability to Lyra.She wanted to be able to protect – to remain strong. She never wanted Lyra to see her that way.“Sorry, I fell asleep.” Lyra said with a hint of embarrassment.“You were all over me while you were sleeping.” Catherine teased and Lyra blushed even more and hid her face on the pillow.

Catherine PRELUDE
It was a hazy day. The sky is blanketed with mist and there's a huge chance of rain. Catherine observed the surroundings from the window when she shifted her gaze at the front gate of her house, that her mother had already chimed in though she noticed that something that's particularly odd. Hugging her mother's hips was what looked like a child, his fringe to the center of his head, nearly blocking his eyes, but Catherine could notice how scared this boy must be. But who was this boy? Catherine ran downstairs to greet her mother. She made it a point to open the door before her mother. "Hi, love," her mother said, and she smiled in return. "What'd you got there?" "Oh, right," she took a step back and gently pushed the young boy towar
Catherine CHAPTER 1
Catherine’s eyes fluttered open with the buzzing sound of the alarm clock blaring from her nightstand. There were prickles of sweat tracing down her neck, so she used her duvet in order to wipe it off. She also noticed her heart beating rapidly, and about two seconds later there are footsteps heard from the other side of her door; then pounding. “Catherine! Are you all right?” asked her mother. “I’m going in.” And so, she did.” She caught a glimpse of her daughter breathing heavily, her eyebrows furrowed and gazing at her familiar surroundings. Anita grew even more concerned by this sight, pulling her daughter into an embrace. Catherine felt it was a bit of an odd gesture. She isn’t sure when the last time Anita had hugged her, but she is quite sure that it was such a long ti
Catherine CHAPTER 2
Anita was worried about her daughter so she decided to pick her up. She knew that Catherine had been blaming herself for losing her younger brother but it was their fault for not looking after their children during those times. Both of her and her husband were assured that their little angels would be safe since they would be just gone for a minute but little did they knew that in a glimpse one of their children could be missing. Anita stopped the car outside the school gate and she was right on time since she had seen Catherine walked past the gate. Catherine heard a honk and saw her mother’s car which she found sort of unusual because it had been ages since her mother had picked her up but she wouldn’t want to risk commuting either so she went to her mom’s car. “Hi, sweetie.” Her mother greeted her sweetly before starting the engine. The silence between her and her mother felt kind of
Catherine CHAPTER 3
Saturday classes are something that Catherine had been dreading. She’d very much rather work on her own and spend the entire day in the library for the Related Literature part of her thesis, or patching up news articles of missing children—something she had been doing for so long, and ate up her summers for the past nine years—in order to see if there are similarities between the missing kids and Felipe’s. She made it a point to finish all her works in order to play detectives always. She refused to let this case rest. It doesn’t matter whether Felipe’s dead or alive at this point—though she prays to God that he is well—all she needs is his presence. Her beating heart resented to stop aching for ten years now until Felipe’s found, and she fears the most that her soul might stay bothered for the rest of her life. She could do all of those&m

The day of the ballet concert came and Catherine couldn’t be more proud of Anita’s ballet students especially Lyra.Catherine decided to come early so that she could help backstage. She was helping everyone set up the costumes and the props and just when everyone was wearing their costume, Anita called out her students to have a dress rehearsal.As Catherine was watching, she couldn’t help but grin when her eyes became fixated at Lyra especially at what happened after their kiss.Both Catherine and Lyra was drowned in bliss. It was that moment where they felt their lips dancing in slow dance with the stars as the scented candle that adds romance and the bright moon playing the sweetest melody. The gentle wind as an urge to pull themselves closer yet Catherine had to stop herself before things could get out of control.She saw Lyra blushed and she couldn’t

Catherine was standing in the dark, however, fear was not engraved in her face as she had been here before. In this familiar scene or so she thought. Then suddenly there was multiple spotlight and clowns wearing red. They started dancing ballet and all of them moving in different direction and forms. It was chaotic.It was as if they portray madness. She was suddenly in the middle and the clowns were going around here, dancing. She was trying to escape as she was feeling more and more suffocated even though she was not scared. It was disturbing in some way or another. The spotlight began to dim and Catherine had a bad feeling. Lyra was in front of her when the spotlight slowly became bright. Lyra started dancing arou

After their practice everyone was exhausted. Catherine was helping her mom packed things up while she waits for the others to change. “Coach will be taking away your daughter for a while.” Jackson said as he entered and Anita stopped packing and smiled, “Yeah, you can keep her with you guys, if you want.” Anita joked and Catherine stopped cleaning things up. “You’re giving away your talented child.” Catherine said, acting a bit hurt and Anita rolled her eyes. “You hardly do anything in the house but lock yourself in the room.” Anita complained and Catherine waved her hand as a sign of surrender. “Whatever, I’m going.” She said an

Monday came and Anita had started to become stricter as the ballet concert would be on Thursday. The ballet dancers have no problem with it as it was holiday and perfect for a ballet concert. Catherine started working her thesis in her mother’s class as Anita might need some back-up coach because she cannot afford anyone lagging behind. “Dex focus on your Sobresaut!” Anita shouted and Catherine feels the overwhelming tension in the atmosphere. It was intense that she felt like she wanted to vomit. ‘She really can’t control her temper when teaching’ Catherine thought but it was understandable that her mother wanted this to be perfect. She knew that Anita was thinking of the future career of her students and that she wants all of them to stand out in their own way. “Elena, polish your second arabesque.” Anita once again shouted and she knew that those ballet dancers won’t get their break
