CHAPTER 69
Last Updated:
2022-02-07 18:55:17"Hey, good thing and you are already awake."
I stared at nothingness while I feel nothing. I moved my right hand to see if I am still alive and good thing I still could feel myself. I just feel nothing, really. I do not have to look who was beside me who talked because from the tone of the voice, I knew that it was Jinx. I felt myself lying on a soft mattress, and I am inside a room that is not familiar to me. Where am I?
"Here, drink some water," Jinx handed me a glass of water. I tried to get it but my hands were too weak to reach for it. I gulped hard. My throat already needs water because it was getting dry. Jinx, then, stood up to guide me sit on the bed and lean against the headboard. "Here, drink it."
Good thing he made me drink it with his right hand holding the glass, while his other hand gently held my chin to guide me. I gulped the water quite fast because I really am getting thirsty as seconds pass by.

"I am so happy for the both of you!"My lips automatically formed a smile as Jinx's father embraced me. We just had a dinner together. I am beyond grateful to everything. That even after years that we did not talk, nor any connections, we still have the closeness we had before. I am not saying that we're too close that could bond or hangout together, it was just that we were cool since then."Thank you," I whispered to him and let go. Jinx just gave me a sweet smile. All he did in the midst of the dinner is to stare at me. Even if his father asks him, he will answer with his eyes on my face. I really stopped myself from kicking his ass off. He is kind of annoying."Maybe I will now leave the both of you here," Mister Adonis said. I was the one who requested for a dinner, a short dinner. I am thankful that he also want us to bond with his son. But of course, he has a work so he could not stay here long. He excused himself

Why does life suck? Life is wretched. And I hate it so much. All I want is to have a simple and happy life. But to my jinx, what happened was the opposite. I want to smile, laugh, show everyone my greatest beam, but I just can't. I'm suffering. Every time, everywhere. I have no companion but only my family. How I wish they would not leave me. I don't understand why people loathe me so much. I only know that I am what I am. I know to myself what myself is. I only know myself and not them. "Leave this family! We don't need you! " My mother yelled straight at my face. I closed my eyes tightly and felt the pool of my tears that was starting to form around my eyes. I wiped them away when they gave up. I sobbed to stop myself from cryin

The heat of the sun woke me up from sleeping. I rubbed my eyes using my finger before getting out a yawn. I hope this day will stand as a hope for me. "Coffee for another wonderful day, Astra..." I almost jumped in shock when a crew member of the cafe spoke from behind. She was the woman who guided me last night to apply for their place. Yeah, I slept inside the shop. The manager let me in, though. "Shameless self," I uttered, laughing at myself. I didn't want to accept it, but I felt like I was rejecting their help. "Don't be, Astra. Come on and get this. You have to freshen yourself for a good day. " I nodded and slowly got the cup that she was handing to me. Oh, I don't know her name. Would she introduce herself to me? "Pardon?"

"Your apartment is good,"Sew laughed at me. "Thanks for the compliment. I really chose this one." She said while putting her things on a sofa. I was roaming my eyes around. Her apartment really looks so pretty.We just arrived at the café. I even saw my former home while we were in the midst of heading here. Our house looks like there is no life. so pale and was covered with serene."You can borrow my things, Astra. Of course, private things are an exception.""I will pay you back,""Nah, there is no need. Feel at home, okay? Don't ever think about paying back or anything. It's making me sick. I am not asking you to do that, though."I smiled at her. No matter what, I will return her goodness to me. I will spoil her soon once I am better.

I was about to continue walking when someone blocked my way. To my bad luck, someone on my right side just bathed me a so-so-so cold water that can make a person shiver. I closed my eyes in annoyance. I can feel my body being hugged by the cold. I don't know how to react. I did not expect this! They had been bullying me since I transferred to this university. I am already used to being teased and bullied by students but I didn't expect it to be this early! I heard laughs around, I was still closing my eyes. There are murmurs that has reached my ears, their teasing words are making me melt in shame. "Aren't you tired of getting bullied, penurious girl?" Denisse asked, the leader of mean girls of this universi

I don't know what's with me. I felt a strange feeling that I haven't felt before. This is the first time I felt so relieved.I let out a heavy sigh before writing my John Hancock on the back of my notebook. I have to focus on our lessons but Jinx just can't get out of my mind.I know that I like the guy, I was just attracted. I should have not thought of this, I need to focus first on my studies.I just thought lately that what if I will stop my education and just continue it once I am already better and can stand on my own. I just realized that I am leaning on Sew's and also at Jinx. It's like if I have a problem, they are only the one who is gonna fix it. It's like I have nothing to do with myself."Are you even listening, Miss Marquez?" My attention immediately diverted to our lecturer when I heard my last name from her."A-Ah, y-yes, Miss.." I uttered, stuttering. Her brows creased and I just smiled at her awkwardly. I also smiled at my classma

I was so nervous when I arrived to the hospital. I just came here by taxi and while I am on my way, I could not stop myself from shaking in fear.I just can not believe from what my sister has said. I am not even sure if she really tells the truth.I went to the reception to ask where my father was. It tolds me that Mister Marquez was on the emergency room and that only made my heart's pace go wild."F-Faye.." I uttered under my breathe when I saw her with my siblings and mother outside. Crying and sitting on the chair aside.Cine noticed me first. She was weeping silently while looking at our family. She do not know what was happening because she's too young — six years old only, but she understands what they feel because they are crying."A-Astra..." Cine called and run towards me. I wiped my tears that has fallen when she hugged my legs. "Good thing you came, I m-miss you."I caressed her head and forced a smile. Faye and moth

"What place is this?" I asked Jinx as he stopped his motor in front of a mansion.I was staring at the big mansion because it was really stunning! It was like in a fantasy movies because it felt surreal. I never saw like this in my entire life, not to mention fictions. It was really very beautiful and insanely huge."You will work here as a secretary of a businessman," he said and shrugged his shoulders. I then gulped. What? Secretary? I do not even know how being secretary works and I am still a minor and know nothing!"I would prefer being maid instead of being secretary," I said and shook my head. I was a bit nervous because I could not believe him!And if that, how can we get inside? It was so obvious that it was secured. In just one glance, you will know that if you try to knock the door, securities will kill the hell out of you."Oh, no. Being maid does not suit to you. Do not worry, Astra. This job is easy."I slightly punched h

"But you can't marry me," I slowly uttered and looked away from him.He really can't marry me because he was already married. He shouldn't be saying these things to me. I will just feel bad to her wife."How do you say?" he asked in monotone. He tried to hold my chin to make me look at him but I did not let him. I stared still at nothingness, away from his eyes. "How do you say, Astra? Give me a reason.""Because you are already married," I snorted. "How can you marry someone when another woman already owned you? You were cheating?"He stayed silent for a moment not until I heard his chuckles. My brows creased in annoyance and looked at him sharply. Why is he laughing? He is making fun of me? Seriously? This time? This situation?"Married?" he grinned. "You think I am married?"I pursed my lips into a thin line and slowly nodded my head. "You really are marri

"Do you want to go with me visit mom and dad?"Cine and Val nodded their head to me. My lips then automatically formed a smile. It will be nice if we, sisters, Faye, Cine and Val will go together and visit our parents in the cemetery. It will be a family bond."I will go and guard you guys," Simon interfered and forced a smile. We did not complained at it, though. He wants us safe. He did not want something bad to happen to us. We were thankful that Simon did not leave our side even how hard it is to manage his time for work. He should have already focus himself to the work but he insisted to still guard us. Something bad might happen, he says. But we all hope that there is none."Yeah, I will, too," Jinx appeared all of a sudden. I thought he went off for an important matter? Why is he here?"Alright, we're all done. Let's go?" Faye smiled to us. We all nodded and headed outside the house. We used S

"I am sorry to all the things I did."I want to slap him from 360 degrees because of anger. What? He will just say that after everything? It is easy for him to apologize like everything he did will just fade away just because of his word "sorry? That everyone he got hurt will be healed easy when he will say sorry to them? That everything will be fine with just a sorry?i looked at Fin with my raging eyes while he just looked down. "You have the guts to think that everything will be fine with just your damn sorry? Rot in hell!""Astra," Jinx warned me but I did not listen to him. I pointed fin with my index finger and I gritted my teeth."I will promise that you will live in the prison forever. You will have your last breathe inside the jail."I thought he will shut himself but suddenly, he looked up at me with a grin on his face. "Yes. I prefer live here. World is t

"How is Fin?" I asked Jinx while I am busy staring at nowhere. I want to know where he is now. I just want to hear the place where he belongs to. The place where he must suffer and pay the bad things he did.He sighed and looked at me. "He was already sent to the prison."I pursed my lips and nodded my head. "Good to hear that."He stared at me for a moment and all I did is to look away from him. He was like trying to read me. Trying to know what I am thinking. I really felt awkward when he tries to stare at me because it sent me a different feeling I could not define. It really is annoying when he look at me like that. It was nostalgic."Do you want to visit him and talk to him?" he asked and sat on the chair far away from me but facing me.I answered him without looking at him, "Yes, I want to." I want to make him realize how evil he is. That he did so many bad th

"Thank you for coming..."Jinx just threw me a glance and say nothing. He kept on driving his car as fast as he could to get away from the place where Fin planed to kill me. From the place of nightmare. The place where I think that was already my last breathe. The place of devil.My hands were shaking so bad because or nervousness and fear at the same time. I do not know how to calm myself. The mere thought of myself fighting for my life is already making my system weak. The thought of Fin planning to murder me was like already killing me. The thoughts were making my heart break into pieces.It hurts.Since I was in the womb of my mother, I was already blamed. Someone is already mad at me even though I was not born yet. That even if I have no knowledge about their anger, my individual has. I did nothing. I was still a very innocent child when they put all of their anger towards me.

"You have the heart to know everything?"Even if I am afraid, I have to know everything. Even if I know that my heart could not take it, I have to bear with it. It sucks. The thought of not knowing the truth while you on the other hand were the one who is suffering in pain and agony because of the blame that people throw towards you."Yes, I have," I said bravely. I have to show him that I am not afraid at all. That I have the guts to accept everything. To know the truth. I have to know everything. I am in the center of the blame and so I have the rights to fucking know the freaking truth. I am in the midst of blame and I cannot even escape from it. I was stuck and I can only get off after I get through the barrier and challenges.His lips automatically formed a devilish grin. "Waste time to know the truth before you will die?"When I nodded my head with no hesitation, the expression of his face chan

I didn't know what happened next.I just found myself in a dark room where I see nothing but darkness alone. I didn't know how I get here. I do not know where I am. It was like, I was in my highway to hell. I felt like, this is my last.I tried to move, but I cannot.My hands were freaking tied!Where the hell I am?! How did I fucking get here?!I sighed heavily in anger. I then closed my eyes as the door from nowhere swung open. The bright light hit my eyes and face and so I have to not see it so it wouldn't hurt my eye.The hell. Am I in a horror movie?"You're now awake." A voice lurks in every corner of the room. I gulped as I had goosebumps. The voice is so... creepy. "How is your sleep, Astrallaine?"When I opened my eyes, a man standing amidst the light welcomed my eyesight. His face isn't clear to my view, but
