I was awakened the moment I was gently placed down on the soft mattress. I slowly opened my eyes and found my husband helping me to remove my footwear.
I groaned and slowly sat down. I massaged my temple while my other hand is sitting on my lap. My mouth was tightly shut as I feel my stomach swirling. I was biting the insides of my cheeks. I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
"Quel," I called in a faint voice.
"Hold up, I'll go get you some water," He turned his back and walked away without letting me voice out what I wanted to say.
I covered my mouth and get off the bed. I accompanied myself to the bathroom even if my vision keeps of rotating. But I wasn't able to bring myself there. I fell on the floor and threw up.
"Do you realize what could have happened to you if I didn't come to get you? Someone could have taken advantage of your drunk state," His hands were on his waist while scolding me. "Damn, if someone recognizes you as a model, they're gonna make an issue to bring you down especially when they're your bashers.""I wasn't thinking last night," I pouted. "And they can't take advantage of me, I brought a pepper spray."His eyebrows furrowed even more. "Which you didn't use on me last night when you did not recognize me," He sarcastically replied."So you came for me?" I asked, a little delighted at what he did."You called me, Athijha," My mouth agape open. Did I call him? "And you didn't recognize me when I was already standing next to yo
My eyes widened upon realizing that he knew that we're not on good terms, though it was just a show for us to protect each other."Surprised? My mom told me about that. That was one of the reasons why I was so mad at you when we got married. I thought that you're doing all of these because you hated her. But everything you spilled out made me realize how much you love her."I was about to speak when he gestured to me to just listen to him."I know that you can't recall this yet but you sounded so proud last night when you were talking about her. I never knew that you're waiting for her to come back. You are longing for her, are you?"I smiled and nodded. "I am.""You told me that she
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, jerk," I rolled my eyes then finished the water he gave me. "I'll go change back into my clothes. Wait for me, okay?"I closed the door of the dressing room then I found myself clenching my chest while tears are streaming down my face. I covered my mouth and proceed on my real agenda why I locked myself in here.I fanned my face and looked up to prevent the tears from streaming on my face more.I took my purse then checked myself in front of the mirror to make sure that he won't see something questionable such as a tear-stained face or gloomy eyes.I put on a smile to hide the storm of emotions deep inside of me."Let's go shop for something to wear tom
My jaw tensed when I saw that sinister smirk on his face."Respect me, Athijha. I'm still your father," He demanded as his smirk slowly faded in the wind."Respect is earned, Anton. I have lost every single respect for you the moment I knew how disrespectful you are towards your daughters. And I no longer consider you as my father. Keep that in mind, you rapist!""So this is what you have chosen, huh? Interesting. I can't wait to see you on mud, Athijha," Right after he said that, he stormed out of my room.The scissors I was holding fell on the floor. I sat down on the bed and placed my hands on my trembling legs. I stared at the door where he left then sighed.I pulled my hair in f
"No, no, darling. I am just stating the fact. Oh my God! Look at you, you look so expensive in that dress," She said which made my heart flutter."My mom bought it for me. Maybe it's the dress that you noticed, not me, Madame," I joked."You're so humble. You've got the pretty face, the body, and the attitude. No wonder why people fell in love with your modeling immediately," She chuckled. "My daughter has every product from the brands you've endorsed. And she bought designer clothes you've worn when you walked on the runway! She loves you a lot and I do too.""Thank you, Madame. And please tell your daughter how thankful I am to her," I said with a sincere smile on my face."Of course, darling. She'll probably flip when she finds out
'I miss you, Clea.''I... I still have. I love you, Clea.''I know, Clea, I know. It's just that, when I saw it again earlier, I got so confused. I suddenly feel scared. Questions flooded my mind. What if I was wrong for entertaining my relationship with her? I started doubting my feelings for her. I don't know if it was genuine or did I just consider that because of my obligations. I'm not sure about how I feel for her but I do know that I still have feelings for you, Clea. Am I a jerk because I'm so confused about how I feel, Clea?'I rose from the bed and held my chest while panting. I was sweating even if the night is cold. Even if I feel like I'm freezing as the wind gets in contact with my skin.I dreamed of Exiquel's words whic
Well, I'm kinda planning to call a friend to let out the negative feelings and energy I've got from the party earlier.I called him then head out to the veranda while waiting for him to answer my call. Joy filled my system when he answered it.[Good thing I am not home yet. I've got a feeling that you'll call.] He chuckled which made me giggle too."What? Are you a psychic now? I never thought that you are one though. You look like a yokai more," I laughed when he snorted.I heard him sighed and a faint sound from the background, a sign that he moved.[This is the first time you've called me and it feels like something that has made a deep cut in you has been bothering you. Your aura
"Same goes to you," I forced a smile and nodded. "You won't stop loving him even if he keeps on hurting you."I shook my head because I really want to stop so hard. I want to get rid of the feelings I am feeling for him so bad because I already suffered a lot be because of that.I bowed my head then covered my mouth. "I don't know what to do anymore, River," I said between the sobs I was trying to stiffle. My voice was muffled so I wasn't sure if he understood what I told him.He messed my hair. "I won't tell you to stop loving him because you have no control with that. And it's normal, clumsy girl. It is normal to fall in love and live with that feeling because it feels good to have that. And it is normal to get hurt, but it is bad not to pull yourself up when you stumble and fall."
