Redon

Chapter 2

Sayra

“ I won’t take too long, I just want to say something “ I quickly said as soon as she opened the door. Kyla raised an eyebrow at me and opened the door widely to let me in. I looked at her and noticed that she’s putting make up, maybe she’s getting ready for her job.

“ So, what are you doing here?” Kyla asked me with her arms crossed in front of her chest. I bit my lower lip as I take a glimpse on her husband who’s obviously in a bad mood because I suddenly came here.

“ I escaped from Lupo “ I said faintly making her raise an eyebrow at me. She ran her hands through her face and looked at me unbelievably. She just stood there without knowing what to do.

“ T-tell me that’s not true “ she said weakly but I just looked down and shook my head. I looked at my fingers and waited for her response. I flinched when a loud bang echoed throughout the room, I looked at her husband who looks so mad and to the glasses that are broken in the floor. Her husband looked at me angrily and then walked out the room banging the door making me gulp hardly.

“ Oh my god Sayra “ I looked back at Kyla who now looks so pale while sitting on a corner. I quickly wiped my tears and hold back from crying. I know, I’m totally aware of the trouble I did but i can’t stay there anymore, i wanna be free from him and I’d rather die than spend the rest of my life in that place.

“ I-I’m sorry, I’ll just leave “ I said after I managed to composed myself back. I inhaled deeply and forced a smile as I look at her. I turned my back on her and then slowly walked towards the door. I’m breathing deeply as different thoughts keep on running in my mind. What should I do? Lupo will surely look for me, did I do the right thing?What will happen to Kyla? Lupo will surely find her to look for me.

“ What are you gonna do now? “ she suddenly speak stopping me from walking. I didn’t look back and just scratch my head.

“ I’ll run away “ I answered faintly but she only laughed mocking me. I inhaled deeply and faced her to say something but I couldn’t as I look at her crying face. Her face is a mess, her mascara’s dripping down because of her tears and her skinny body is shaking while she’s trying so hard to not make noises. I gulped and looked away reminiscing the past where all I can see in her face are her wide smiles and bright eyes.

“ I’m sorry “ she muttered that caught me off guard and suddenly all of my efforts to hold back my tears vanished and I ended up sobbing loudly. I quickly ran towards her and hugged her tightly as I caress her back. We’re both crying and wailing loudly without caring about anyone. Kyla’s my only friend, she’s my only family.

“ I’m so sorry “ she keep on whispering to me, we sat down on the floor as she keeps on crying and apologizing to me . I shook my head and then hold her face .

“ Hushh, it’s fine, make sure to be well okay? I’ll do anything to see you after I settle things okay? Promise me” I calmly said and she just quietly nodded her head and then hugged me tight once again. I looked up and stopped myself from crying while patting her head.

“ It’ll be fine and I can’t stay here for too long “ I added and then slowly removed her hands from me as I stand up. She looked up at me and my heart ached as I look at her crying face. I can feel a lump on my throat as I think of leaving and not seeing her anymore but I need to run away, for her and for myself. I turned my back from her and looked around their tiny house.

“ I- I can’t do anything for you “ she said weakly . I wiped my face dry and then fixed my hair before I face her once again. I forced a smile and then point out my finger at her.

“ Can you lend me cash and a nice dress?” I asked making her look at me questioningly. Kyla works as a prostitute, even though I saved her from Lupo she still was not able to escape the bitter reality of this world and ended up selling her body to provide for her and her family’s needs. Sometimes I can’t help but think of what kind of life we could’ve had if we’re not born in this kind of situation. What does it feel to be able to get whatever you want?

" s**t, go there dude, dudeee go there " I said while playing a video game.

My teammates suck at this game and it's pissing me off. My mouth hang open when I died once again while pushing. I let out a frustrated sigh in and quickly opened the team chat . What the hell, why are they so stupid?

" For f**k’s sake, where's the healer? Dude I was pushing the point! You need to heal me " I said while gritting my teeth .

I don't want to use my mic and I don't think they're using it too anyways but they're all s**t. They forced me to use tank because everyone wants to play other roles and now they're not even doing much! They can't kill the enemies what the hell.

" You all suck! " I said and then exited the game. I don't care if get penalties because of that, I'm pretty sure we're going to lose anyway. Why are they so bad at that game, that's why there are different roles! You need to play your role properly.

I slammed the table and then removed my headphones. I’m so annoyed, why is everyone ruining my mood for f**k’s sake. I grabbed the tray of muffins on the other table and ate it to calm myself.

" I f*****g hate this game " I said while chewing my food.

While gritting my teeth in annoyance, I checked the CCTV cameras to see if Celia's already here. It's already 7:45 pm and they're still out. I drank my water while looking intently at the monitors and then almost choked when I saw the car they used entering the main gate.

" Ah finally! " I said coughing while wearing my slippers quickly to run and wait for them in the main door. I'm so excited , I said to myself as I'm cleaning my hands from the muffin's crumbs. I ran to the hallway and in the staircase making my maids look at me with fright in their eyes.

“ Señorito! “ one of the maids shouted as she saw me running but i just laughed it off and went faster. I’m so excited to get the thing. I smiled devilishly while thinking of various ways to use it against Miguel. I stopped running in front of the door and then laughed loudly . The maids and the butlers just looked at me weirdly and forced a smile. I shrugged and didn’t mind them then opened the door.

If only Miguel’s not my cousin, I would’ve already fired him for real but I can’t and I must admit that he’s efficient on his job , the only problem is he usually decide things without my permission and that makes him an asshole. I hate it when people go against what i want.

I looked at my wristwatch and gasped when I realized the time. Wow, what the hell! I think I promised Kurt that I’ll go meet them today.

“ Argh “ I sighed and then rolled my eyes in annoyance. This will be the last time I’ll go out for this month, I swear to god, I promised to myself as I stomped back inside.

“ Oi! Tell Celia to put the thing in a safe place “ I said to the butler and walked pass him.

“ Okay Señorito “ he answered and I just shrugged.

“ What thing though?” I heard him whisper to himself that made me grin from ear to ear. I can bet that he’ll ask me what is it but I don’t have time to answer.

“ Ah Señorito- “ I didn’t let him finish his statement and quickly ran to avoid his question. Aahh, let him guess , I said to myself and then opened the door to my room.
