I sauntered on the quiet street, helpless and tired. My day was a really terrible one. It was probably one of the worst days in my entire life.
I spotted a side bench by the corner of the street, and traipsed to it. I needed to relax. My mind needed to get rid of my sad and horrific thoughts, but it just couldn't.
I sat on the bench gently, and began to recall what happened earlier.
I had decided to ignore the errand my mom asked me to go for. My parents wasted my time enough, so I needed to get to work first. When I got to work, my boss was already waiting for me at the doorstep. And as soon as he spotted me coming, he walked to me and started to curse at me, as usual. To be sincere, I didn't feel a bit of sadness because I was so used to that already. I tried to plead, but it didn't work out.
He embarrassed me so badly that I regretted the fact that I went to work. I thought that maybe I shouldn't have ignored the errand, or maybe I should have left home as soon as I saw Linda had left, or maybe I should have apologized to my boss more. But no matter the maybes, nothing could change. What needed to happen already did. He fired me.
The fact that he fired me or embarrassed me, hurt me so bad. But, it hurt me even more when I found out that my mom caused all of it. I didn't know how she did it but I was sure she did it. All I could observe was her coming out of my workplace immediately my boss fired me, and giving me a deadly smirk. A really frustrating and sad one.
She walked to me and stood in my front. Without uttering a word, I could read her facial expression. It wore pure wickedness. We gazed at each other for a while, then she left, not giving me the chance to say anything, as usual.
I was so devastated. I couldn't fathom anything that was going on. All I did was to leave the vicinity. I didn't know where to go. Home wasn't the better option, or even a good option at all. So, I decided to visit Drake. I knew I told him I was going to visit till the next day, but I needed somebody to comfort me and tell me that everything would be okay.
I quivered in my posture and couldn't stop recalling my terrible day. I needed to get to Drake's house so I could stop thinking about the sad things that were going on in my life.
I breathed out, standing from the bench, and heading to his house. His house wasn't so far from where I was. It was only a few streets away. I hardly came there on my own because Drake never allowed me to. He always complained that the environment was too quiet and wasn't really safe for a lady to walk on her own. But, due to the disturbing thing I was experiencing, I cared less about my life. What was the point in living a life that only brought sorrow to me?
I trekked on the street, still so intense in my thoughts. I couldn't even cry. Tears were not able to come out of my eyes anymore. Even if I tried to force it, a tear could hardly drop. Life was taking me to a point where the tears in my eyes were almost drying up. My life was becoming a nightmare. An extreme nightmare.
Finally, I got to Drake's place. I stood in front of his door and hesitated before knocking. I was still so embarrassed by what he did to me that night, that I didn't want to face him. But, I had no choice. He was the best person that could comfort me. I also thought of it as an opportunity to tell him about the marriage my parents were planning on.
I sighed before knocking the door, and no one answered, so I tried knocking again. But still, it was to no avail. I was about to knock again when I observed that it wasn't even locked, so I stepped in, and shut the door behind me.
The place was quiet, and I guessed that he was probably asleep. I glanced through the living room and noticed a shirt on his couch. It seemed like someone else was in there. The shirt looked feminine, and that made me also guess that his sister was probably around. But, he didn't state it to me. It was probably the reason he asked me to come over earlier. I shrugged and headed to the stairs.
A part of me had a bit of doubt for some reason. I never wanted to doubt him, because I trusted him a hundred percent that he could never think of cheating on me.
Although I tried to kill the crazy thought, it still kept on reflecting in my mind.
'Snap out of it! How can you even think of doubting the only person who cares about you?' I thought to myself.
I ignored my crazy thoughts, and walked gently on the stairs. I got to the corridor of his room, and strolled to his room door. The closer I moved to his door, my doubts aggravated, which made me walk slow.
His room door was opened a little, and that made me feel really nervous for an unknown reason. And, I became more nervous when I heard a lady's voice from his room. There wasn't a crime in hearing a lady's voice. It could be his sister, but it didn't seem so. It wasn't just a mere voice. It was a moan.
"Oh my gosh Drake. I think I'm gonna lose control of myself." A tiny voice sounded from his room.
I became more nervous. Nervous was even an understatement. The fear that gripped me was an unexplainable one. What if my thoughts and doubts were right? What would I do? He was literally the only one I had left. What would happen?
'Lord please, save me. Let my thoughts and doubts be invalid!'
I sighed anxiously, and opened the door silently. I shut my eyes as soon as I walked into the room, and hesitated before opening it. If what I thought was true, I could die. I was sure I would die.
I froze in my position. I could feel my heart race faster than ever, and my brain began to explode. My eyes shook rapidly, and it burnt from the inside. No exact word could explain what I felt. 'Trembling' was nothing close to my mental and emotional level. I didn't know if I was still on Earth. I didn't know if I was facing reality or I was in a dream.
My life was definitely over. Everything had become ruined. All my trust was now trash. Everything was over. Absolutely everything. My thoughts were right. My doubts were true. He was cheating on me. He finally killed my trust.
I stared at them as they kissed intensely. I could hardly state anything. I wasn't sure if I was really seeing what I was seeing. They didn't even notice I was standing there for about three minutes already. I was really broken. The Drake I knew could never do such. I trusted him so much."Ok babe. Get your bra off or I'll strip it immensely." He stated as he pulled away from their tremendous kiss, and started unbuttoning his shirt. What an idiot he was He was so deep in his romance that he couldn't even notice me."Drake." I managed to call softly.I couldn't even think for a moment. I wasn't sure I was still alive. I didn't feel human. My sense was numb. It seemed like my brain disappeared and my skull was filled with cobwebs and dusts. Words could not explain my emotions. For a moment, I wished I was dead so I wouldn'
LINDAI glanced through the pictures of some damsels on my phone as I sipped from my cup of coffee. I was so screwed up with finding a bride for my nephew, Ace. It was really frustrating already. Mia was my last hope, although I didn't like her that much. She was somewhat rude and unfriendly even though her parents were so nice. I liked her at first but she didn't act all cool.I stood up from my bed and dropped my phone on the side table in frustration, heading to my bathroom to take a shower. I tried resisting the urge to tell my sis I was tired of looking for a bride for her son. It was only getting me worked up.She was so intense in it and it irritated me. I wondered how anyone could still think of an arranged marriage. But well, I couldn't blame her. Her son was a terribly cold man.I knew
"Rude?" I asked as I creased my arms across my chest. "I'm speaking the truth you know?""Who the heck are you?!" She hollered, still in between clenched teeth."You don't need to know who I am." I was so indifferent to her. "Don't yell at me, ok?""Why shouldn't I?" She asked sharply. "How is killing myself even your problem?"I glared harder, literally furious at the fact that she ought to be thanking me for saving her life. Did she think she was some kind of cartoon character who could be saved at any time? We were speaking of “death” here!"You know what? I think I made a mistake by saving you from drowning." "Yeah, you did," she bit out. "Alright." I scrunched my nose, getting more irritated by the attitude she was giving me. Not thinking further, I reached for her waist, and shove her into my arms. "I'll throw you back in there," I announced. . "W—what? Leave me! You idiot! What the heck is wrong with you? How can you drop me in the water?" She cried, hitting her hands against
I rolled on my bed uncomfortably. I didn't know what the fuck was obstructing my sleep but it was literally frustrating."Arrgh!" I grumbled as I sat up. "What the heck is wrong with this bed?"I yawned and tugged my pillow against my chest, turning to my side clock."Oh my gosh!" I cried as I jumped from my bed. "10:00am?!"My parents were definitely going to kill me. I was sure my mum had done the chores and was planning to hit and trouble my ass.I jumped from my bed and gadded to my bathroom, grabbing my toothbrush and pressing a paste against it.I stared at myself in the old three feet mirror in my bathroom. I indeed looked terrible, as Linda had stated the day before. My eyes were swollen even though I didn't cry that much. I only cried when I was on that asshole arm. My hair was in such a mess that if a child saw me, he'd definitely think I was a zombie or something.I
"Saturday?!" I exclaimed as I stood from my seat. "That's in two days time. How is that even going to be possible?""Oh my dear." Mrs Norman said. "I understand that you think this is close but I need you to also understand that this needs to be done so soon.""But why?" I asked. "I mean, why the rush? We've got enough time.""Are you interested in this or not?" Ace stated, causing me to turn to him."I--I..." I tried to speak but my dad caught me in."The thing is that she's so worried about the expenses. That's it." He stated and let out a shaky chuckle.My parents, dumbest human in the world. All they cared for was money. They didn't even care about my feelings. How could they agree to get their daughter married to a random person who proposetwo days ago? I didn't expect less though."Oh, the money." Mr Norman finally spoke. "We understand that you guys don't hav
I stepped into my closet, dropping my towel on its holder and slipping on a grey sweat pants, together with a silky, black, tank top. I walked out of the closet and sauntered to my bed.My day was so frustrating. It was 7:00pm, but, I decided to sleep. All of Ace's threat were ringing in my mind. I didn't know how dangerous he was. But from my observation, he seemed really dangerous. Even his mother was scared of him. What the fuck?I dunked into my bed and swung my duvet across my body. I stared at the ceiling and meditated on my next step. I only had a night to decide. I didn't know whether to stop the wedding or not. I wondered what was going on in Ace mind. It was better to not start something that would be unable to be stopped.I thought for a while and finally made my decision. The wedding was gonna be called off. At least it was only recently planned. A lot of guest couldn't have been invited already though.
I stared at myself in the mirror. I looked so stressed out and weary. I could hardly sleep. I was in a crazy dilemma. A dilemma that didn't worth my thought or time.Even when I tried to sleep, Ace's words attacked me in my dream. I had been threatened a lot in my life, but none of it seemed so scary like Ace's. I wondered how he did that. His glare alone, frightened me so bad. How on Earth was I going to survive, if I got married to him?I sighed and walked to my door, opening it, and shutting it gently as soon as I was out. Although my mind wasn't supporting my decision, I was willing to do it for Mrs Norman. It wouldn't be nice to hurt the old lady. I was willing to listen to whatever he had to say. What if he was only sputtering false threat? And what if he was being serious? I was so puzzled. How could my own life be confusing me?I walked down the stairs, carefully, and observed everyone in the living room. M
I stared at him as I quaked like a child who was about to take an injection. It didn't seem like he cared about how scared I was. That was if he even noticed. All he could do was scowl at me vehemently. I tugged the wall tightly and breathe heavily. I tried so hard to conceal my extreme fear, but it seemed like it was to no avail."What do you think?" He finally spoke. "I'd touch you?" He questioned."I don't care what you have to say, just let me go." I pleaded as I hurried to grab my cloth from the tiny stood and wrapped it across my chest.He simpered and moved backwards, walking to mirror. "Have you even checked yourself through this before?" He asked."Can you please go now? You can see I'm not well dressed." I resented.He let out a chuckle and turned back at me. "Oh sorry." He said sarcastically.He moved closer to me and stood in my front, still wearing a grouchy look. "Befo
