🏵️

A muffled cry behind the close door of a bedroom.Someone is sitting on the floor looking so messy .She tried to wipe her tears covering her whole face.The coldness of the floors sips through her bone but what her feeling is even worst.

"Does anyone knew about it?"her mom's voice we're too close in her ear that it sounds so awful words or was it because of her words cracking her heart into pieces.She heard her hissed.

"I am asking you if anyone knew about it?"she calmed herself because she knew she had to answer or else it will anger her more.Holdinv her sobs she take off her hand that is on her lips.

"No— no one"she hardly said.When she look up to see her mother's face she began to cry even more but her mom only stared at her with coldness.

"I can't believe this"she commented.

The door open revealing her dad's tough expression.She bow down her head completely ashamed.

She curled up hiding her trembling hands and knees.She feels like her whole world is falling apart seeing how her parents reacted to it.

"You know you shouldn't make a mistake?Byanca.You know that, right?"his voices thundered in her room and she flinched.

She nodded"Yes— yes i know Dad"she tried to calm her voice to give them an answer.She sniffed and take a couple of deep breaths to hold still.

She heard her mother sighed heavily."You knew and yet you still did it"she closed her eyes tightly as her mind play it back.

The memory of her mistake is infront of her together with their dissapointment and she can't do anything about it.

If she knew it will end up like this, she wouldn't have done it.

"I still need to go back to that party,honey.You go and take this matter.Argh! I think i needed to see a doctor"she tried to see her mom through all the tears to tell her how sorry she is but her body can't even be lift up.

"Ok,go ahead.I'll be behind you"the door closed silently.Her dad walk across her room and stand infront of her.She saw him kneel infront and speak in now more calmer tone.

"You know what your mom needs to overcome just to have you, Byanca"i know ,i know.I am only fifteen but i know.She hurt her throat for keeping the cry inside but that was okay,her parents — she knew is hurting more than she is.

"She gave up everything just for you.We work hard just for you.The only thing that you need to do is to be a nice daughter , can't you really do that Byanca?"

"I can ,Dad"she said sobbing again.She definitely can do that ,that was just a simple thing to do — and yet ,yes —why did she even fail.

She felt him pat her on the head."I know you can do it Byanca ,you have always been a good girl.Always honey"she look up to see her father's eyes now back looking at her with tenderness.

He smiled at her,still patting her head."Remember that.Always"

The scene shifted fast i can see a guy ,tall as she is and they were talking .

"Come on,Sofia.Let's run"the voice told me while extending his hand.

"Let's just go.Nothing's wrong with it"She seems convince so she reach out her hand but before her hands reached him,the whole scene fades.

"Miss President are you okay?"Dahlia,her secretary ask her as she reads her ,her schedule for that day.Sofia nodded at her feeling the pain in her neck.

"Should i postponed it first?"Dahlia ask as she saw her boss massaging her neck but she wave her hand for a no.

"No Dahlia. Prepare the files for the meeting this afternoon.I want to have a little time to check the School after that"

"Alright.I will just deliver some medicine for you"she said as she strode off.

"Thank you"

She knew by then ,Sofia is really workaholic she'll pushed herself to do everything today to make everything work.

Sofia rack things needed to be done.She still need to do a lot of checking before the official launching of the products and she can't afford to be sick right now.

She sighed once again and massage her head.. .it is because of that nightmare.She close her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth.

No,it wasn't just a dream, because she knew ,she knew enough to know it wasn't a dream.

After drinking the medicine Dahlia gave her she proceed her day like she is not feeling the pain.

"Mom"her concentration got cut out because of the sudden visit from her.She stand up and kiss her cheeks after greeting her.

"Why are you here Mom"her mom look her carefully.

"I know that your home late last night and then you get up early to come to the office"i smiled.

"Thank you mom but i am fine"her mom shake her head.

"You need to have a break.Just ignore that school for awhile.You have been with it since you graduated college"

"I am fine mom.I just to rest and then I'll be fine"i convince her.I have been doing this for years already,i know i can still do it.

"You shouldn't tire yourself that much.That will be bad for your health"i smiled at my mom.The faint light shedding me the past were silencing off.I can't help but think about her concerns sincerely last year.

"You should have someone who can accompany you with all of this so you won't be staying that late"oh.She knows where is this going.

She smiled at mother who even brought some foods and carefully laying them on the table inside her office.

"Is this about the son of the Tan Group?"she began saying.She saw how her mom's hands stop and her head tilted.

"This is not about it Byanca.You knew i wouldn't want you be force with that"

"But by how you talk last night,it seems like there will be a wedding next year"i sat beside her on the couch.She smiled at me.

"Don't get me wrong.I just want them to know you are still looking and that you have plans for it.You know a successful woman needs to have a husband whom she can share the goodness"i chuckled at her.

"Mom,i can share a lot of things to people without getting marry"her mom's lips twisted with what she said but it's only the truth.

"Well, I'm not forcing you to anyone.I just want you to give them a chance plus —"she looks at her witty daughter and softly slap her arms.

"That's not what i really wanted to say"she rested her back.

"You see there's a lot of excellent graduates who achieves some masteral at a young age this year.Why don't you pick someone that can help you"

"Mom I don't really ne—"she didn't let me speak.

"Come on,you need it.I have gathered them all ,you just need to pick one Byanca"

"Okay mom"

"Please check them out"she said before she finally turn her back.I smiled and say my goodbye.After she left , there's only been a minute before Dahlia went in together with a pile of folders.

"Put it here"

"Yes,Miss"

I get the pile of folders that my mom is talking about after finishing the last folder that needed an approval.Grabbing the first candidate i flip it open without any hesitation.

My breathing got troubled and i froze looking at the picture on the first page.

That same tantalizing eyes.His smooth black hair framing his small face.His pointy snob nose and pale skin.My heart begin to run a marathon as i stared at that familiar mole on his nose and the way that eyes stared back at me made me want to —.

I close it immediately,throw it somewhere far and take deep breaths.I can feel the sweat forming in my forehead as my heart continue beating wildly.

Where is that happiness coming from?Why does it feels like this? There's no way —

I closed and open my eyes trying to calm my mind as the blood rushed through my cheeks.

Stop it Byanca! You have forgotten about that guy.You don't know him!

His nose .His lips .His eyes .His shoulders!

Fuck!Sofia Wake up!

Or you'll be at your doomed. .. once again.
