Staring blanky. Out of my mind. Like a madman—no, let me rephrase that because I'm really insane. I'm sitting in a corner while staring at the white wall that represents how complicated my life is. It's white and for others, it symbolizes happiness, but for me, it symbolizes death.After the madness I did outside, I found myself in the room that serves as my prison. I'm not literally imprisoned, but because this room witnesses how complicated my life is, it's like a prison for me.After the madness I did outside, thinking he's still alive, even though the truth is he's been dead for a long time, in fact, he was already dead when I gave birth to him in this world. After the scene—my madness, Storm brought me here to this house.And because I'm weak—I'm weak and probably because I'm ashamed of what I did, I agreed to come here.And here I am again, sitting on the same chair that I always sit on. My eyes are lifeless, staring at the four corners of my room.It's been three years since I
They will beg. They will cry. They will ask me to spare their lives and surely river of blood and tears will flow and no one can stop me! No one!""They will shed tears, just as tears were lost. Lives were taken, so lives will be the price and no one can ever stop me! No one!"These words repeated in my mind as I punched the punching bag in front of me. I punched it with such force, to the point where it was almost crumpled. But I didn't care how damaged it was, I wouldn't stop.My anger intensified as I imagined his face on the punching bag in front of me. It fueled me to keep hitting it harder.My anger intensified even more as I imagined her, not just alone, but with the woman he loved so much...the woman he hurt and imprisoned me for.I punched the punching bag once again, and then kicked it in frustration.My sweat was pouring down my body. I had been here for a while now, playing around with this punching bag in front of me. But for some reason, I wasn't feeling any fatigue. I w
NO! He cannot die yet! Because I haven't made him experience the feeling of being alive, but dead inside.It's not possible! He cannot die yet because he hasn't experienced the pain and suffering that I've gone through for years.Fear ran through my heart. Fear that he might die without experiencing what I have. Fear that he might die without going through my suffering.I want him dead, yes. But not this soon. I want to see him suffer, kneel before me, go crazy and beg for mercy. I want to torture him before he dies.And also, I want to be the one to kill him. I want his blood to flow through my hands. I want to be the reason for his death.I looked at the man doing CPR on his body. He was panting heavily as if he had been trying to revive Dashiel for a long time now, but he still couldn't bring him back to life.Yes, Dashiel was the one the ladies were referring to earlier. Dashiel was the owner of the body that was floating in the sea.But heck, what was this guy doing here and why d
How am I supposed to do this? How am I supposed to get revenge on him if he's in that condition?!I'm so stressed out. I'm so stressed out thinking about how to bring him down despite his condition. My plan was slightly ruined when I realized what his condition was at the moment.And honestly, I don't know what to do. It's so frustrating. Why now? Why did everything have to fall apart when I had already come up with a concrete plan?!I've been pacing back and forth in the living room for a while now. If anyone saw me now, they'd probably say I'm going crazy, which is true because I've been crazy for a long time.I've been thinking here for a while now, while pacing back and forth, trying to come up with a plan on how to proceed with my plan given his condition. And honestly, I'm also considering whether or not I should continue with my plan.But heck, there's no way I'm not going to continue with the plan I started. I should continue that either I like it or not.I got tired of walkin
STARING e?" With that question, I snapped back to reality.From staring at the bread rolls in his stomach, I lifted my gaze to his face and saw a mischievous smile on his lips, causing me to blush even more.I quickly averted my gaze. Like, seriously, I didn't even realize that I've been staring at his bread rolls for a few minutes! Like, what just happened, self?! What happened to you and why did you lose control of yourself suddenly?!I really wanted to slap myself for this opportunity, to be honest. I really wanted to slap myself for unintentionally staring at his stomach earlier. Like, what the fuck self, don't tell me that he still has the same effect on you after three freaking years?! Like, god, if there's anyone to blame, it's definitely not going to work out for us with our plans!"Can you get dressed?" And now, you stuttered self, like just what the fuck is happening to you?!My desire to slap myself earlier only increased because of that. Like, what the fuck, why did you st
I have already made it a habit to jog every morning. So, the next day even before the sun rose, I already dressed in my jogging outfit, ready to go. And when the designated time came, which I set for myself, I started my morning routine which is jogging.After jogging almost every day, I have memorized the streets and routes in this neighborhood. I know where each turn and intersection is, unlike my first time when I stumbled around not knowing where to go. Luckily, Storm found me because he was worried about me since I took too long to come back. I was grateful because if he didn't find me, I would have been lost.Since that day, Storm has been accompanying me every time I jog. While we jog, he shows me the directions of every street here. Eventually, I learned all the directions, and that's why I never get lost anymore.In the middle of the town, there is a place they call the plaza. Beside the plaza is a basketball court where you can jog because it is spacious. In fact, many peopl
Mitz stopped speaking because of what I said. "What? Are we here already?" he asked while looking around.I nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, that's our house," pointing towards the direction of my home.While I was speaking, I gathered up the courage to control myself from trembling, even though the sharp looks from behind me were like a knife staring at me.I saw surprise in his eyes when I told him about my home. This didn't surprise me because I'm used to the reactions of the people here whenever they find out that I live in that house.The surprise I saw in his eyes was replaced by wonder. For some inexplicable reason, I was perplexed, because I expected his eyes to show fear like the others. Why did I only see surprise and wonder this time? It was strange."Oh, so you're the one they're talking about as the party girl?" he asked, and I nodded. I didn't see any benefit in denying the truth, so I nodded.Besides, I wasn't surprised when he said that I was the party girl because I al
I feel cold because of what I realized. Thousands of questions flooded my mind. And it made me cry without him even noticing."So now tell me, who--"He was ranting about something, but I stopped him by slapping him hard. He gasped and stopped.He stared at me with wide eyes and his jaw clenched, indicating his anger. He was mad at me for slapping him.But his anger dissipated when he saw tears streaming down my cheeks. He approached me with questioning eyes, wondering why I slapped him and why I was crying."M-arra what happened," he said as he tried to reach for me, but I slapped his hand away."Marra, what--" I didn't let him finish his sentence. I immediately interrupted him and said, "Leave."The confusion in his eyes deepened at my words. "Why?"His question made me want to hurt him, to strangle him even, because he was so good at acting innocent. He was so good at pretending that he didn't know what was going on, even though the words came from his own mouth.So what was it? He
