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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEEwVDyOlF

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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmZQdBrtBD

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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ps2u0arNJ

"AJ, where are you?" I shouted irately. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXsHZ1GGCC
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWQ71Wowae
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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbLkO2dTH8
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzX0uHcbZR
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvPutrR96Z
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubyUy1SEhN
"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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMhjnWbFnW
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd6iMmYuL0
"Eh...Eh..." 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYCXZzIi0x
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ4ScAC4Ul
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsh8gFmCA0
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nD29dAe2m
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMa4EExZRl
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNlvUelvhq
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP4CqbNeuE
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciNkNiU8ms
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9DjzjDY1n
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡramFpxvAYU
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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM7xUF5yGS
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts2BneuCG3
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E2m4NIxem
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XO1wVT0th
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJCZBw8Bai
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SWHXxFZAv
"Baba, take this girl away."695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1ikZPZQnj
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVHHM4pkok
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKxIDfsBZS
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTWRgZ3C7s
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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZWrwOGiy
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyONCzai9oo
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LVWqLGhcw
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLghuTAcWN3
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAE6ZKx66c
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeo9eCHKDb
"Bunny?"695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYAiQvOG1b
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PhDUV553W
"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexT5jBEtYy
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73PLcdMWat
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL3ytDni6I
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAixLL3vvL1
"What happened?" 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvDx7Pnt0x
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31xDqBp2Mb
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK2Xrl6Zdk
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozh1c9kD5a
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAlEyaoIYu
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YN51D5WS0
I sighed again, "I would."695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXYTKpXAtB
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mGxInBOf6
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDssxSPDpKM
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEfQ5RlFy6
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ096Jm7EqRk
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ315VpP9VxG
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJptqb24u2o
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHJmHNXMS1
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yALWMgS5n
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJMwdfoPJ2
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D258kNEJN
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiUSCJI4nU
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrdBu9pm5o
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghVNVhskOH
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hzu1C4baG
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBQuwwqBFW
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTzN2j2qLh
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPj2fPyUhz
"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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlvXqVoNn1
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXDsMrtzhz
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEiCS7LOlh
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJLPgEgxKB
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZvjNQXLv7
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRhSq21Rr6
"Yes, ma," she said. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIEmFVEH2S
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNHJDhSPMW
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe69gFJA7c
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHnVPAiO10
"Indomie!" She squealed. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhBlMjh0uh
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aDJ9oubeb
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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt07gw8pcHG
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUMfswBZ65
"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. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS52qSFvPHp
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsgUrz6NTm
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0EmEi0ygu
695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUMIBBxuOI
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 695Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tz4gpOOhf
I went rigid.
