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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS8xhHWWWT
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnlajywrOW
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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWgyEPbEmN
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuGnxTh24b
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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAh3SNBB7x

636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6r9ngY2Q2
"AJ, where are you?" I shouted irately. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbno9y7Ooa
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7GzL9n21I
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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXArFIPBAL
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57FcI4AnEt
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq120k06PX
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JvTZn0mzn
"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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp9On43Gcv
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBEVBXltwT
"Eh...Eh..." 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHTScNo90I
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEvOuUGEcn
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjim6Epel7v
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtJwE7u4Gv
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPBDvCuLUU
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayP9bZf7l0
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pcquXDo9Y
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VIcsnhQfW
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7y2mT6S2m
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjnsbzr2Na
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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG5VcLUbTE
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAORdp8YRiT
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkqdO0BHwd
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbtACJ68oU
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblSXshFtHZ
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILQDCQYfkJ
"Baba, take this girl away."636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiMvcSQ93y
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPjIlTg9Bt
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJrL8jVJZu
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu50Jzur0kQ
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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsymWjwzJZd
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KaeFBlwc2
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9QIZup8If
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lfh3mMdQz
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRKt6BDuPe
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEqSqeHeXk
"Bunny?"636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hZdDSYjh6
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ8M4rKJ7s
"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KfXGhVsYF
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxHkXbju33
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjxhzTTgVT
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aIUEwpnNQ
"What happened?" 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLBHxzJTOu
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UkBIoss9D
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5boLBq8lK
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFZTBunq42
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYDLw3mFcB
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcG4sToZ6A
I sighed again, "I would."636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XpouYZtSK
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOXeC2s6vr
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPLbjnJMVR
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLD29tDrQ3
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kowTEIqhz
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93mOGO47Wf
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tbVeaTVD6
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXDeVqQ5Bt
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSva9JTrxfr
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUbxOxSUzN
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNEnhpd3k1
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizShPG60CI
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvg32WJF4Z
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeI6pjDvMI
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ZBhszxw2
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHizE0FTdP
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SxAjv8k13
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxhtSpKkZ3
"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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPddq90iuaQ
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ojhUjxuAu
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouKBxjjtso
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3NUIA7VGP
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWSYRs8T0j
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hb4GkyvxA
"Yes, ma," she said. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLRvDgsnlE
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKKKpHqick
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzGpb2vjYj
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJFKdxk3Eo
"Indomie!" She squealed. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA61EaTie7
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe181xCaq2K
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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVeZTvJHF6
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7sHGO3VAP
"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. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQqBPi78DC
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuwXgAUtwj
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKB37cCSgf
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh4f7tX0hM
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FbzCbngCh
I went rigid.
