As soon as Oriel came inside the living room of her small house, she found Bella to be sitting on a couch, having a slice of cake along with wine in a plastic cup. Bella saw her standing at the door and raised her glass in the air."Celebration! the day has brought my heart to peace when an arrogant fish is choking on its own little bone." She got up all tipsy from the couch and went closer to Oriel while dancing and singing in glee."What is all this?" demanded Oriel."I just felt like celebrating this wonderful day with a little wine, I know you can't tell it through this plastic cup but it is filled with some premium stuff inside. I couldn't help myself but spend all my money to buy this when I heard from our neighbors about what happened at school today," Bella ridiculed her."Your money? you mean the money that I give you as allowance from the salary that I work hard for... you spend that money to buy premium wine, just to celebrate the day I almost went to jail?" asked Oriel.Be
"Your delusions are getting worse day by day, we are going to Dr. Will's right now." He grasped tightly on her arm, trying to drag her from her feet. Her feisty personality didn't allow his force to work upon her; she freed her arm from his grip. "So now you are saying that I'm crazy?" "Isn't that what you wanted to prove by doing all this?" spoke Mr. Bruce. "You would have made an excellent actor. My friend is a film producer; I will give you his number. But this act isn't working on me anymore." "What makes you think that I'm cheating on you?" he asked. Suddenly, a man came walking toward them from the entrance. Ursula gestured him to come forward. "You think I'm acting like this on my assumptions, huh?" "Did you ask for me, mam?" the man asked. Mr. Bruce turned to take at look at him and saw the police officer from before standing there, lowering his head in front of her like a slave. "This is an old friend of mine. I can't believe that it is a just coincident that you went
Sunrise of every other day had always brought a new hope in her eyes, but it was not the case that morning. She feared another unpredictable day that stood before her.She rose from her bed, like every other morning, she fixed her bed and came outside in the living room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Bella completely passed out, and several liquor bottles on the floor around her. It was not something that she had seen for the first time. It had been a scene that she saw almost everyday, and it irked her each time the same.She walked on her toes, trying to pass through the mess that was scattered all over the floor: glass bottles, tissues, and peanut shells were lying across the whole room."If I am ever allowed to kill one person in this entire world. You bet it is going to be you, Bella."She came in her balcony and breathed in fresh air. The morning sunshine was pleasant and the narrow street down her balcony had started to liven up with the chatters of her neighbors."Lo
Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!The constantly ringing doorbell could be heard by Collin even inside his dream. There was someone at the door, and even after knowing that, he couldn't get himself to rise from the couch that he slept on. His face was damped with sweat and he was contracting his body because of the chills that made him shiver. His flesh had turned paler and his skin was burning with fever.Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!He felt worn-out and didn't have the strength left to attend the one who was aggressively pressing the doorbell. The person standing outside was also not willing to give up until the door was opened for them.Collin slowly placed his feet on the ground and reluctantly got up. He was still wearing the clothes from last night, and even when he looked his worst in that condition, he still appeared dashing.Ding Dong!"I swear I am gonna..." he was cranky at the one outside.He walked to the door with almost no energy and pulled the door open to find Ursu
She worked as a kindergarten teacher; had no family of her own to receive support from and to make the hole bigger in her already impoverished umbrella, Bella was also there. Things were tough and getting fired from her job meant that she was in dire need for another source of income."I have been working here since years now and you know better than anyone else that I can never do such a thing," she begged her senior, in an effort to save her job."Oriel!... if it was in my hands I wouldn't let you leave, trust me. But it's all those parents who saw that damn packet of cocaine with you, they are all on my heads, asking me to fire you. I am very sorry dear."Her senior didn't stay another second to listen her request and left Oriel alone there. "Now, what do I do?" she breathed.Oriel walked out of her office, stressing over the problem of finding herself a new job. She began to regret abandoning the chance to win the heart of Mr. Bruce."He is clearly into me; I shouldn't have though
Oriel organised Bonnie's closet as the latter was treading back and forth in her room, waiting for her father to return and take her to the amusement park. She didn't leave the sight of the clock above her and couldn't sit still even for a moment."Why is he not coming?" she asked, pouting.Oriel firmly shut the door of the closet and replied, "he must have gotten stuck with something urgent. Let's call him and find out."She reached her phone, trying to appease the upset Bonnie. She dialed to her father and passed the phone to her. The call went forward but nobody answered it. Bonnie grew more upset and anxious. "I hate him.""It's fine, he will be home soon." Oriel tried to convince her."Why don't you take me to the hospital?" requested Bonnie."Are you sick somewhere?" asked Oriel."I meant the hospital where my father works at. I want to go to him right now."She started acting like the typical princess of a palace and made it hard on the maid Oriel to calm her down. "I can't tak
"I have spent twenty years filling the markets with ample stock of the most addictive drugs, dealing with the lives of innocent people; bodies of women, killings of men and orphaning of their children. After making such great use of my life, here I'm sitting in front you," said Mr. Bruce, with an unusual shine in his eyes. "I will advise you as a friend, there is definitely an almighty up there, giving each one of us the punishment of our Karma, so you better watch yourself as person."Dr. Ian could only sit still and serve silence as his reply, before saying, "if you are alive, you can always make amends for your doings, no one achieves anything if you die.""I didn't say that I regret my life, I mean, I have had fun always being at the top of the food chain and being the most feared person of all. If a short life is the price for what I have gained, then it is not at all a bad thing, in fact everyone would want this," replied Mr. Bruce.Oriel and Bonnie, stills hiding outside the sl
"You're the one who is pushing me away," he lamented.The usual warmth returned as his aura and his touch became comforting to her."I am sorry if I scared you just now," said Mr. Bruce. "I can only request that you keep this to yourself, I don't want others to see me as a sick person, and those eyes looking at me with sympathy, please don't do it."Saying this, Mr. Bruce walked away to gradually disappear from her sight. She sighed deeply coming back to her senses. "I just came back alive after almost dying?" she mumbled as she stood there.Then, she braced herself for the scolding that she was to receive from Dr. Ian. She headed back in his cabin and sneakily peeked through the door, she called Bonnie out. "Bonnie! let's go back home now."Bonnie sat on his father's lap, who immediately gathered some reports and stacked them one upon another. Seeing Oriel at the door, he called her by name and asked her to come in. "Miss Oriel! I have some important stuff to discuss with you."Oriel
A four walls filled with darkness in every corner, and only a fainting lamp placed on a wooden table, emitted rays of light, falling on the face of Collin who sat on a chair. In his hand, there was a lighter that he clicked open every now and then, adding to the numbered light rays there were.Not too far from him, but somewhere the light of the lamp couldn't reach, came the noise of a man groaning in pain and various solid objects clamoring against him. "Please... don't... don't kill me. Ah!"Collin remained calm hearing the man getting battered with rods and human legs. He kept fidgeting with the lighter that he held in his hand."Boss! looks like he is going to die if we keep beating him like this," said one of the men.Collin again lights up the lighter and brings it in their direction, and looks at the scene with utter sereneness on his face. A man lay on the floor half dead, and several other gang members surrounded him with tools in their hands. "But he hasn't opened his mouth
Exquisite moonlight glowed upon the land during a starry night. Reflection of the moon was getting dissolved in the running water of a city lake. A little bridge built over the lake carried the presence of Oriel in a scarlet-red dress, tight on her narrow waist, shining shoes of the shade similar to her dress, and hair resting lose over her shoulder.She was waiting for someone, standing on the bridge, gazing at the beautiful moon drowning in the lake. Although there were other people, crossing the bridge to get to either of the sides, Oriel was the only one walking to and fro.She went closer to the railing of the bridge, leaned against it and continued staring at the moon's reflection in the lake. As she fixed her gaze calmly at the lake below, her face glowed and got reflected on the lake surface, appearing more exquisite than the moon itself.She suddenly felt a rapt pair of eyes on her face, she turned her head to the side, and saw Mr. Bruce coming towards from one of the ends of
