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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8ttKtkM20
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoFvZlncUO
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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0PcUWA9j1
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsDgp7R3ju
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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL3KIAUd14

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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7jjHPDBY8
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed9Y8YtBsP
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACETY7I9f0
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnDM9H6lMJ
"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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw1Zd8RNZ7
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2GsJg0WND
"Eh...Eh..." 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSLhcZF1Lc

"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy1E1znKsG
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL2fcyw25U
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b8Eo9E0Qp
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZUyX3QClA
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pjAsjUbys

931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYLwbHcdcI
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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcSiGT1fZz
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGydYQpXxm
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA3worWxyR
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VupCiNxp0
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDw1vF7zBH
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc55Gf5I0dk
"Baba, take this girl away."931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHijXXIwQTK
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJDO1GHb26
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnkY0An6j2
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WahgGFzVk
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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RK0bi8aQO
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L85V65kzL
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a086XRni0
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzTc592Q62
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif8e8N3bg3

"Bunny?"931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEhqhvB3ff

"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxzWZrpfgr
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG9EtYdxAZ
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtLYAMRYEO
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmENiriF8vI
"What happened?" 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfeeAPNlVS
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpY8byho08
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEJgSFB2b1
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI99kxLtP6j
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3sJVBgLm7
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g77XTj3RM
I sighed again, "I would."931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1QPjWZOrO
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19TyvcCbmH
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejZql7Owbf
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8lpwloKSM
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m2Wc4rMtf
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sUHgVg9LW
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUne9t6qKBt
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiDF903noj
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgnIz3MYdI
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvjBqyeeHU
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy6Ct7UrJM
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCZVZmGta5
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxhadWIB1V
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusCqdB7ANB
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPdqPE4YL5
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFXbWtdB2K
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTmtWyy3f7
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G6kvnwy1I
"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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLuAiGiZSF
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC3pb7lggS
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJjB4qEITk
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSOKASKrHV
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlIDwoUpJj
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1ZgLrrqQI
"Yes, ma," she said. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteWhfznMNu
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1KP1bJ68O
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfNmc6lyNP
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlFrIH7gDJ
"Indomie!" She squealed. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OqZksFjEN
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1q0xKwGAi
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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIwLzX1Nte
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87R0PKNeBG
"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. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEOn03ByFp
931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqowTeT4oA
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 931Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygmlkEskLh
