All Chapters of Chained to Dust: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The paintings on our wall made me feel ecstatic. I smile as I watch one of our longest maids here. She's old, yes. But still managing to serve us. My eyes found her staring at me. The freckles on her eyes as she smiled at me made me wondered for something. Can I saw my parents still living with that age? I sighed for a moment. I don't know why that suddenly entered my mind. But the thought of that sent chills on me. I don't want to think about it, but it's too good that someday you'll be practical to accept things you didn't want. I sighed. "How are you hija..." her voice was always soothing. I smiled sweetly. "I'm fine, La." "How was your vacation?" I asked nonchalantly.  "It's still the same." she chuckled.  "I rested somehow," she added. I nodded and approached her completely. My eyes then glided at the painting she's cleanin

I saw how his jaw clench. I didn't expect his reaction to my simple touch. I folded my arms as I carefully turned my gaze back to him. "Are you sure? You can stop, Riani," he said coaxing. My forehead creased. I looked at him again. "Why? You don't want to?" I said nonchalantly. His lips parted at what he heard. The thought of seeing him acting like this made me to curious. I shook my head at the thought. I sighed after I saw a glint of a smile forming on his lips. "It's okay, too." I glanced at him. Never minding the intensity of his gaze as he's watching me closely. "What is that?!" Demi's voice filled my ears. I was embarrassed to turn to them. I almost forgot that Alforo friend was here. I bit my lip as I looked up at Alforo again. This time he's smiling confidently at his friend's back to me. 

I don't know what to feel. I was not on my own while listening to the lecture. I never felt Klaud's presence again. We don't have a proper closure. I don't even know if we break up or not. I also don’t want to think like that. It seems like this past few weeks were a bit tough for me. "Are you coming?" Demi uttered beside me. I watched her while reading. I rolled my eyes at her when I saw she was looking at me with those puppy eyes. "No." "Alforo is asking me." My eyes narrowed at my friend. I do not know how I will feel about what I heard. I turned my eyes to him again. Giving her my full attention. "Are you avoiding him?" she concluded. I frowned. "No." He raised an eyebrow at me. "Why don't you come along?" "And Klaud wasn't there." She said carefully as I craned my neck at him.&n

"Here are your drinks, Riani…" I heard Klaud's voice.I was immediately alarmed to see him approaching. I don’t know where my feelings got worsen or what. Because I do not know where it came from. And to think it’s from what I saw a minute ago where unbelievable.I folded my arms and smiled at Klaud who was coming. I forced myself to conceal all my morbid thoughts. I’ll just stay focused and talk to Klaud in a good way. And if he didn’t want to be honest with me, it’s all right. I know I can recover quickly"Thank you, Klaud.""You're welcome." he sweetly said.I coughed a bit. I sipped as I stared at him again. I bet if this is the right timing or not to tell him what I saw or just keep it still. I don't know, especially since something is bothering me."Do you still have class?" he opens up a topic."There is," I answered him nonchalantly.He stared at me for

I stared at what Alforo might have gone through. I sighed as I felt how he’s too cold to me. I looked around where he might have gone, but I just left disappointed. I’m too exhausted, I barely didn’t know where my feet took me.I have left no choice but to check the basketball player’s locker room. I looked at my wristwatch. It’s exactly 6 pm, and there is very little light. I am driven by my emotion to even hope he’s here.I sighed and gained strength to see that he was there."Alforo?" I said off-key.I bit my lip and finally turned the door. It was dark, but instead of drifting my attention to it, I put it aside. My eyes traced where the light was when I heard something. No someone… My eyes widened at what I heard.My hand trembled as I finally reached for the light. I heard a sweet moan in the distance. Maybe someone making out in the bathroom. My lips trembled at my thoughts, and suddenly an image of Al
