Gabriela P.O.V
I threw the toy on the floor, disgusted with it. It was a little Barbie doll that my parents bought for me, claiming I would love it. They assumed things without asking me first what I wanted.
I sighed jumping off my bed. I needed to go to the bathroom because I was pressed. I was irritated that the bathroom wasn't in my room. I had to go out of my room to do that. I didn't like meeting people, I loved being alone.
Opening my door, I peered out of the door making sure no one was within arm's length. Should I make a run for it? I smiled at the thought. I ran halfway when the annoying voice that belonged to my cousin sounded.
"Where are you running to, huh?" She demanded authoritatively.
Taking a deep breath, I turned to face her. "Bathroom, I answered." With that, I ran to the bathroom.
"I will just be waiting for you," she shouted at me. I inwardly cursed. I finished my business and came out.
Not surprisingly, she carried out her threat.
"Gabriela."
"Jessica," I scoffed, not looking at her but the floor with my hands placed inside my jeans pocket.
"I am sick and tired of you, you know? I am here to spend time with you and all you do is ignore me each time I try to strike up a relationship with you. Do I smell or what?"
I looked at her. "Listen, I just want to be alone, OK? You just have to get used to it," I said.
She frowned, and said, "well, you can't always keep to yourself."
I didn't want to stand there blabbing. I walked off, heading to my room.
"You know it's rude to walk out on people. It's this attitude of yours that hinders you from making friends," she reminded me. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj6Ve6pFOc
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFllg7X6tS5
I didn't care what she had to say. I wanted to be alone; there wasn't anything rude or weird about that. I got into the room and closed the door behind me, breathing deeply. Every time I talk to people for long, it makes me weak and frightened. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiw1OVQWiV

If only my parents were here right now, things would have been much better, I affirmed to myself. I quickly sat down, taking deep breaths as my doctor advised. I felt better after 25minutes. And I decided to take a nap. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiDXLF9KAr

"AJ, where are you?" I shouted irately. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55S3sANIVa
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBjYYtNUZb
I shuffled through the sales book as anger surged inside of me. The useless girl ran from the store with her arms full of clothes. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPjiscX8ZW
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NxahPzqkv
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXlaPR0fqJ
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu44dxszy9R
"What happened to the blue gown embellished with sparkling stones?" I queried.
I watched as her eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. I knew she had stolen my clothes. I wondered how many more she had stolen that I didn't know about. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZVlKnkHxN
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j3HFNtqj2
"Eh...Eh..." 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVnYoQ7ZPC
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeI83083XY
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRLDMmQxYE
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRynha9z7UH
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSHPYydMEk
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoShqn9qp9l
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDbfZUE8rY
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM7lgmCLKi
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTPDUIzQWn
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgqtmMM7KD
I had had enough of these lies. "Keep those things over there,” I pointed to an empty chair. I don't want to talk too much, go and clean up your desk. You are no more working here," I said with finality. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo7CazFs59
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cqSU7MmHm
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1eztLpRHQ
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDgtUSPLgV
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CNgsRL7YR
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJqS4Ik4YS
"Baba, take this girl away."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdNR6jpf67
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0LsBtdrkq
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjVIi6m1E2
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl4U8P2ogN
My mind went to my daughter, Gabriela. I missed her so much. I was so scared to leave her all by herself because of a disorder she had. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbELkWMJfEA
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN9NmqQIEP
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gpjvLnHLT
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJMUMyhYEP
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTCLfW8vgA
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJG1gWAZ7o
"Bunny?"602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5mhhMg5rK
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRbv4uEjAW
"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvo8gGZmcM
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuS6Hp6Uh5
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffJvcKmoug
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa6Z1fFvfq
"What happened?" 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCndpewFCG
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAYzjm6exD
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR744KeuTP
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gLmixLrDs
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqqUjo9Dp4
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScNwoFnOT0
I sighed again, "I would."602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgJfVeOBvy
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrJ7sigz6H
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaziKxL4sR
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToH7Vzy1UO
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFyyRPpPnI
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MSuuzbKwj
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnZG6b318V
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtIJhbV1GE
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkfNeguzeb
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzd9WdN8D7
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM96vFo31G2
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ284iGmEymd
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUKKRyRW9W
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzOqOb1uB4
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dt7hphAzb
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVu6x1WnlE
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLgLRLigpj
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXGCprNxSv
"Bye," I said and hung up, not waiting for his reply. I was so angry with his suggestion. It did not go down well with me. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vfSSZyCh7
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKp8E54wPv
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB94EqDP4a
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBmGsVQynI
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFm4qbwZim
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPhGLSKrat
"Yes, ma," she said. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI0ifSScth
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBDdg4WTZJ
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xR0KGYtBE
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxh6wkO8LX
"Indomie!" She squealed. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU5Buc4AK7
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wg6TMn9Yt
I smiled. She was so normal. Why couldn't my daughter be like that? I wished.
I sighed as I went to work. A few minutes later, dinner was ready to be served. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDrzC0J7qK
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EoftaXcO5
"Go and call your uncle for me. Be quick," I shouted. I laid down the dish on the dining table and waited for my husband to come. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYB0KYus2l
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeiKGDX8fi
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEbW79uEa
602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSluC4Ns6Gr
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFvd2HHE7k
I went rigid.
