If Only Queen Remained Silent Prologue
“Your eyes are the gateway to hell.”• • •THE PADDLE in front of me mirrors the face of a person I do not want to see. Those eyes show a sounding emptiness from within, a fair light skin that keeps the forming of bruises visible, dry lips that have been beaten up, and wet black hair that somehow enlightens the darkness of the sky. Hollow thoughts begin to race through me as the light sound of drizzle begins to pour down.How did this happen and why is this happening?The look on the person's face continued to stare right down at me as though it was staring right through my soul.Those dark, looming black eyes that emit nothing but lifeless orbs . . . I don't know how long I can keep this up.My hand tightens its grip on the handle of my umbrella.What was standing behind me was a six foot tall silhouette whose eyes were as red as the epitome of evil and bloody sharp teeth.If only I remained silent that night.

You are nothing but a drop of water in an ocean that extends itself to the depths of the world.• • •THE ROOM was dim, the dead silence illuminating. At the center of the grandeur place stands a woman adorn in a white simple dress.Her hair was a flowing black river with eyes that seemed to have lost their colors because of the reoccurring thunderstorm and pale, grayish lips as though they had been a living corpse.I bit my lip at the emergence of heavy panting. The sound of a beast huffing as though it was devouring its prey.In an instance, I see myself waking up from a terrifying dream.I let out a deep sigh, buds of sweat pouring down my forehead."Nothing . . . it was nothing but a bad dream," I reassure myself. I could feel my heart racing, my lungs out of breath and my pillow wet from my sweat.I look at the four corners of the room and there I am, still lying on comfortable linen with white soft covers and two lamps illuminating the light. I get up from the other side of the

A BUBBLING sensation of a warm skin that submerges itself in a never-ending body of water. The cold sweeping of touch, which inevitably blows through the fabric.I heaved a sigh."What are you thinking about?" My gaze moves slowly to the woman sitting in the living room, fries on the center table.She had such beautiful locks of blonde hair; a small doll-like face; porcelain fair skin; bright dark chocolate eyes with long black eyelashes; a small pointed nose; and full pinkish lips.She was munching away on some snacks atop the table while watching a horror movie."No, it's nothing, Ma'am," I say, and immediately turn my gaze away from her. This woman who is now lounging in the living room of this condominium is no one but the employer who has taken me from the streets.Compared to a beauty like her, I am like an ugly duckling mixed with the beautiful swans."Psh, if you're still thinking about the rent, I said, you won't need to worry about it. I'm not charging you with anything. You

DURING my stay in Bright's condominium, I have gotten used to many interactions throughout the place. I guess it was inevitable for me to think that I could avoid encountering Sam when he was just a few feet away from where I was. During those times I saw him in the hallway, we would only have short conversations, and if not, we would just plainly ignore each other. It's not like we're friends or anything, anyway. Plus, the two of us have no topics to talk about. Amanda continues to deliver food through the door every other day, and, most of the time, she asks the same man to bring it to my doorstep. "Here's the freshly baked macarons, my grandma baked." Those were the immediate words I heard the moment I opened the door to the sound of his knock. "Yes, thank you," I shortly commented, and then grabbed the bag of pastry."You like sweets, don't you?" Sam immediately adds, which makes me raise one of my eyebrows. "And?" I ask, crossing my arms in front of her. I probably got used

AWAKENED by the sound of screaming, I rose from my bed only to discover myself dripping wet with sweat. A terrifying nightmare again victimized me. I couldn't help but catch my breath. It was a good thing that I wasn't screaming in my sleep, or else I would have woken Bright. I immediately got up from where I was lying and walked towards the kitchen area of the room. I pulled the refrigerator door open and then grabbed a glass of water to drink. "You were still awake?" A voice from behind me suddenly spoke, and so I almost let go of the glass. "I'm sorry. Did I startle you?" Bright immediately follows, which makes me put on a wry smile. I put the glass on the kitchen counter, only to notice she was wearing a nightgown with messy hair. "I only grabbed a glass of water," I say. "I see, then good night," she answers, and quickly enough, her attention switched from me to the television, flashing another movie. I walked back towards my room and closed the door. When morning comes

THE SKY is painted sky blue with flying white cotton clouds that engulf the background. Around the area of the vast park, you can easily distinguish the people who are coming back and forth with desserts and different things in their hands.My eyes gazed towards the rides that people had come on and tried. There are a lot of them who look excited with gaping smiles flashing through their lips while holding hands with their loved ones.I licked the ice cream in my hand as I waited for Bright to come and pick me up."Did you wait long? The takoyaki stand was booming with customers, and it took me over ten minutes to get here," she said, and then put the food on top of the table."It's fine," I say with a smile.The two of us took a short break after we started off with the shooting game not too long ago. Bright takes me on another trip in which she introduces me to different places, such as today's event, an amusement theme park.She made me wear the same outfit she did; matching tee-sh

"A long endless nightmare."• • •The stars were swallowed by the darkness of the night sky. Only the reflecting light from the scarring moon illuminated the small window of the room.My eyes blinked several times. At the same time, I felt a small throbbing on the back of my head."Finally awake?" A woman whose hair was dancing through the air, wrapped in a fitted tube dress and five-inch heels, stood in front of me. She had one of her hands right across her waist while the other was holding onto something sharp—a knife.She was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen, bathed in blood-red liquid.However, I growled at the sight of her."What did you do to me? Where is Amanda?" The moment I opened my mouth, I could feel the dryness in my throat. The words that escaped my lips were as cracked as the slim chance of escape in this apartment.She only ogled right at me with a narrow smile flashing through her lips.It was like staring right through the devil."Amanda? Who is that?" She slow

"MAMA." A soothing child-like voice started to wring me from my long eternal sleep. The sound of a wailing baby starts to reach out to me, slowly pulling me towards my waking state.When I opened my eyes, for a second there, I thought I saw a vision of the same child in front of me, tears rolling down his small chubby cheeks, staring into my eyes.If only I could move, I would have immediately held him in my arms.In one instance, I suddenly woke up. The baby disappeared in front of me, and what engulfed my view was the same nightmare.My forehead crunches as I see myself lying in a bed with a red satin blanket. It was only a dream.I turned my eyes toward the whole place and took notice of the same face I had started to feel disgusted with.Bright was lying beside me, wearing a see-through night gown, asleep as though she had no care about the world. My eyes then glanced toward myself and took notice of my body.A toned, petite body with scars and bruises all over.I wasn't wearing a

CLOUDS OF white engulfed the whole sky as huge balloons rustled towards each other. The venue was placed with loads of flowers in shades of white as a smile flashes through my lips.The people's eyes slowly turned towards my direction, their gazes mesmerized at the sight they were looking at. As I came down from the car I was riding in, the long puffy gown slowly brushed past my body as someone assisted me in moving.In my hand was a bouquet of red roses and my hair was tied in a gorgeous luxury filled with accessories of golden flowers.One of the people helped me with my veil and fixed it on the ground as I slowly made my way towards the aisle.On the other hand, another car stops at the church as another bride comes out.A woman dressed in a fitted tube gown made her way with her hair flowing in blonde curls towards her waist. She was wearing an accessory matching mine across her locks as someone assisted her veil.Just looking at her from afar makes my heart skip a beat.She was h

"I love you."• • •THE FIRST time I laid my eyes on her, I thought that she was just a stranger. I'd walk past the streets in heavy rain.I didn't think that there would be a time when I'd develop feelings for a woman who had just fainted and was longing for death to arrive.I closed my eyes as I felt the heavy pouring rain engulf my ears. I was on my way to the parking lot when the rain suddenly poured down. Coincidentally, there was a waiting shed not too far from where I was as I held a paper bag close to my chest.As my eyes slowly looked at the darkness of the sky, I saw the gray clouds swallow the sky and nothing but the sound of vehicles maneuvering enveloped the place.Students such as I am were now on their way to their own destination and the light drizzle became rain. I reached out my hand to touch the water falling and felt the cold touch of liquid.It reminded me of her eyes. Those cold, indifferent eyes.I thought that the first time I saw her, her eyes were always blac

"Would it be a sin?"• • •DARKNESS engulfed the whole spacious room as I felt my hand caressing hers.Her cold and lifeless body lay beside me as I stared right into her closed eyes, watching her beauty from above. My hand then slides through her blonde locks as I stroke them gently with my fingers.The smell of her rotting flesh mixed with the fragrance of her shampoo surrounded the four corners of the room. It was a soothing, satisfying feeling, and I couldn't help but feel her body enveloping me from the inside.I closed my eyes, putting her head against my lap.I laid my eyes on her sleeping face and said, "Do you want to hear me sing?"I intertwined our fingers just like she does every time, and what was flashing through one of them was a silver accessory that moves my heart every time.An engraved stone was attached to the accessory. It was a wedding ring I bought when I had the chance to go out.I put it across her slim, beautiful fingers and gave it a peck on my lips.Can't H

THE CURTAINS were swaying slowly as the light embezzled me from my sleep. I couldn't help but yawn and stretch my arms out.Morning had just started, and the sunlight radiating from across the window pane put a smile on my face.As I looked around the room, I was greeted by the gleaming sight of white colored wallpaper, followed by the same bedroom I had been sleeping in for the past few months.Afterwards, my eyes landed on the woman sleeping close to me, with blonde locks of hair and pale porcelain-like skin.I couldn't help but plant a kiss on her neck.On Tuesday morning, I was able to get up early and cook breakfast for the two of us. I prepared everything for the day and woke her up at around seven o'clock in the morning.Once we finished our breakfast, she started navigating through the morning, preparing herself for classes.Meanwhile, I went back to my usual job taking care of the garbage and cleaning up the place, until she called out to me to bid farewell and pecked me on t

BRIGHT wailed at the top of her lungs as her locks were pulled roughly by her mother. She drags her away from the floor until they reach the kitchen part of the apartment."What the hell was that? Are you insane, Bright? I didn't raise you just so you could go and love another woman!" she yelled, pointing at Bright with a disgusted look on her face.When I tried to follow and help, the old woman immediately berated me."And you? You're ungrateful! My daughter let you in to work and yet you were flirting with her?" She stared right at me with fire in her eyes, as though she'd gobble me up at any moment.Her face was turning bright red from rage, and her eyes were sharp, her lips pursing, and her brows arching."I can't believe you came from me! You're a disgrace!" she added, hitting Bright in the face with her hand. She continued to do so while Bright tried to defend herself by shielding her face from her mother.I panicked as if I didn't know what to do. I tried to swallow my fear and

FOR THE first time in a long while, I was able to come out of the apartment. Bright's mother happens to tell me to buy some stocks for the apartment.As I navigated my way down the elevator, memories immediately came rushing back into my head.It was exactly eight months ago when Bright took me to this condominium, and I met Sam a week after settling down.We would always coincidentally meet in the elevator, probably because we were staying on the same floor.Truth be told, he was a nice guy. I understood each and every word that came out of his mouth, giving me advice when I needed it and becoming emphatic about my situation.However, it wasn't something I could call love. I wasn't in love with him.As soon as the elevator door opened to the ground floor, I started walking down the street and was welcomed by the same guard from before."It has been a long time since I saw you, Ma'am! I'm glad you came back," the guard greeted me.Immediately, a wry smile formed on my lips as I heard

"IT WAS confirmed that PO1 had trespassed inside their condominium without any permission using the place's security camera attached to the hallway, disguising as a delivery man. It was also confirmed that there are primary fingerprints from the man in the handle of the kitchen knife that was used in the stabbing, and secondary fingerprints from the two women who live in the room.""And lastly, he used his license to point a gun at an innocent citizen, leading him to the accusation of abuse of authority."A man read a report in front of his chief-commanding police while an old man wearing a police officer's uniform confirmed the information by nodding his head."I see then, what was his motive in the first place?""PO1 Lopez said that there was a suspected kidnapping against one of the women and that the other was the victim," the police officer narrated, which made the chief frown."What nonsense is this?" the chief exclaimed. "If there was only a rise of suspicion, he should have ga

LIGHT radiated from the television as the sound from the speaker engulfed the four corners of the room. What was flashed through the screen was a person speaking in fluent English, narrating news for today's date.I stared at the local news, my eyes blinking at each and every changing image."What are you watching?" Bright suddenly pulled me from my deep thoughts and embraced my neck in a hug.I didn't speak a word and just continued to stare off-screen.Truth be told, I cannot understand what I am watching. All I know is that light is blinking from the television as I continue to hear mumbling words."Do you know that the police are currently investigating the man's sudden disappearance?"Her lips against my ears made me feel tingly from the inside."Rumors are circulating and I wouldn't be surprised if in the coming days . . . a man will be knocking on our door again, demanding to enter with a search warrant," Bright added, her lips nibbling through my ear."Don't you find it exciti

"HELLO? Is this Queen Ramosa's residence?"On a Saturday morning, a man stumbled into the reception hall of Bright's condominium.He was a tall, muscular man with broad shoulders, wearing a casual polo shirt and jeans. His hair was brushed towards one side."Queen Ramosa? Ah, yes, there is a resident named Queen here. However, how may I help you?" the receptionist responded, a smile continuing to flash through her lips."I need to know which room she's occupying. I have a business with her," the man says, immediately. His face didn't change expression at all, staring at the woman with a serious look.The woman tilted her head a little before saying, "I'm sorry, sir, but we cannot provide personal information about our residence in this condominium—"Even before the staff could finish her words, the man suddenly rustled through his pockets and pulled out a wallet.Inside the leather brown billfold was a licensed badge of a police officer."Take me to Queen's room now," the man demanded
