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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzzoVVqRMN
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTziNGB3Mw
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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47VxAzxVQI

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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnfUJXiOnb

"AJ, where are you?" I shouted irately. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8WXlt1v6m
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc85xXTD9V
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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROs3yDi1it
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweLEGGoZRH
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJNZ3pWAFW
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsRcF9PucQ
"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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKIGEFGSyu
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPS1XOh1wt
"Eh...Eh..." 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7igCHEqd5
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w2siaQYPB
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYiNrBeU8C
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsap1mtKayz
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvNUEIqBRd
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlAJ1dYefk
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqogDCLXpu
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3mdr0K8xD
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWzVFdqTJc
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNExbmIF6Ty
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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhRz34n9I1
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XRRlToq51
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQNUVdGQ3Z
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyh9ZHjKfe
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt9sJS7u8E
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96JtF9ta6K
"Baba, take this girl away."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T2BTavRcp
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUmejCb3VB
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQyQew8HB
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPnj97kZ86
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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz4tDBHsmT
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVfwqLq074
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemaLIpfBX9
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBp1IPrjCa
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyDARjf2JF

"Bunny?"593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Y0JewDCo
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvi26303Ke
"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Jx9O4G4y
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2Arbmd7gx
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyom8llOt9K
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpZmCzLtF4
"What happened?" 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdFWO4mdSg
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugb4cO0oFP
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvMYU4khq8
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJJkW74IvB
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0beY3x71IP
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iVuMrUc41
I sighed again, "I would."593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaPIoQyLAf
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVumWrzl2k
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vuTcLDY1c
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KLQxDd8vB
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdgY9oNfsb
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrcDgRGEOQ
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8f9t1EMEM
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBCLq40aSn
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKn5EghsOa
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZZ7OYAv3J
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuYIdPJXEj
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98OYXdROlz
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb3VY6ZPYG
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy9lpbTpUz
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoMSawNp4C
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro59Rhe6qp
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yf4KE5dNN
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTcIwS9aZR
"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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAQQ93QqvS
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ytOXyJg9X
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb9lVZZ6HX
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl2bIbU64d
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIrzuNwd0U
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZlpqWLjvX
"Yes, ma," she said. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArt1eOkccw
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibXIXEkavn
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9SYVLLGGu
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp96mRmU5Ca
"Indomie!" She squealed. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL2JoDe4IU
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AQV4a9i3l
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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1vIqHBDtO
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8aSdSsiAs
"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. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94DE67Y546
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUpDlQOwEQ
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvr1aBTG2o
593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWpWJmaCLR
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 593Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYfJBTn5nN
I went rigid.
