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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnzlEaEL54
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcPtXCFpSF
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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlCiaKuHYQ

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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmd0R7MTUF

"AJ, where are you?" I shouted irately. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjL5aeAKYC
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyW48DNDNY
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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YRQtT01ti
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HOsOiRAOD
"I am here, ma," she spoke timidly, shifting her load from one arm to the next. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6GhVwMzry
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqrCR2yRg1
"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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiURBodLmV
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtz1Ym8hbE
"Eh...Eh..." 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr63wHGDj5Q
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYmM9zHgOr
"Eh, what?" I snapped, rising from the recliner. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X3HBjtMTY
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3U9Wqp1mx
"Madame, I sold it. The money was inside the one I gave you," she lied. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ISLzX5p1y
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqLjIZ38Vz
"Are you telling me, I don't know how much it was or the number of clothes you sold?!" I shouted. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uc2kzJXyv
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLbBjqkTgp
"Madame, it's the truth I have just told you."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4dvz6ulKM
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpv4bioMtM
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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2y3ZLtqlL
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOXHFU1c0j
She went on her knees pleading. "Ma, don't do this. It was the devil."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU87p3tg5aj
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc823U0B0XG
"So, you now admit you did it?" I sat down comfortably and called the security man.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAki72lU9WK
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld8Lqvkzen
"Baba, take this girl away."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIiF4dOkHA
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCfXzQ5smE
"Please ma! Please ma!" She begged. I didn't listen. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrwjBTyqiO
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdU2Y2f9ay
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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoPfcdkcmQ
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnR5vXJ78X
I sighed, “why does the devil exist? He just makes life hell for one. My little girl doesn't deserve all this.” 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJLEXtZALi
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJjrIX2LgY
Just then, my phone rang. Looking at the call screen, it was my love. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsevU4YAvZ
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaTHQL76xN
"Bunny?"578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOUr0R4A0C
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEK2kKuDBw
"Sugar, how is work going?" He asked. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJbOQtbCgf
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUBXKgz7aZ
I sighed, "trying to uproot the weeds." I subconsciously touched my hair. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aw6qAD9Hs
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh5NwD5Rtm
"What happened?" 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj8pJ859RS
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBKR08SwiA
"I found out today that a thief has been working for me all this while." I frowned. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafgRZG3dr7
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mlMRyP0Ec
He gasped, "you need to be very careful when choosing your sales girl from now on." He said it sternly. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMBYxA4mFr
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslG7d8SQ6u
I sighed again, "I would."578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEEFZPoxHu
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J8YmsChFy
"I was thinking about Gaby," he gushed. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPIkKqB5tN
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZvPKA28pF
I wondered what was so exciting about that. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRNo8yO9Sz
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP55Xc4CI4t
"What about her?" I asked curiously. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmEfsqb2ti
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiRk4wF1iS
"I was thinking if we could take her to a separate school with people with the same problem, " he said. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vHASQJuLY
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUYweXFFHr
I frowned. I was so angry with the segmentation. "I don't want her to be separated from us," I protested. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoUh70scrg
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgSQeZQqNq
It was his turn to sigh. "Much less, stay with people with the same problem. Not done," I snapped. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVNrooRt7K
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr9cXIwYoE
"I understand how you feel, but we would talk about it more when we get home," he pleaded.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjyKiBiACG
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUIxvV1eeV
I rolled my eyes and said, “In your dreams.” 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI62p24j5AC
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhkBmJ0Lqe
"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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOLHVHIBwg
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwguE7CEzEk
I got home at around 10 pm. By then Gabriela has gone to bed. I was equally exhausted. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RvmRCmcej
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UCmyxEY2R
"Jessica, have you eaten?" I asked my niece whose eyes were glued to the television screen. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAOK55OCAj
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHgrgPctWz
"Yes, ma," she said. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7EpmC2yKM
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP1z25bl6K
"What did you eat?" I queried as I brought the bag of semovita out of the cupboard. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB8FYqBrn1
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFePMO8e8q
"Indomie!" She squealed. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsurTWfcZs2
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxBJLTwG05
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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CxS0UYUaY
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrngOtJ5Tbk
"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. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNjWPl4W1e
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wqFnSKLql
He finally came and we started eating. After the dish, we went to the parlor. 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkT8kZWykK
578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8kmazkqlu
"Jessica, did you have a good time today with Gaby?" 578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SrOQaHJWT
I went rigid.
