[DAPHNE YILDIZ WHITE]"Let me help you," I said, not heeding her words that seemed like a knife that could easily make me bleed. "Stop, Daphne! Just... Just go away. Get out!" She struggled with my touch. "Alright. Alright. I'll leave you alone after this." I just want to help her change and feel comfortable so she can go to sleep. "You are not listening, Daphne. I said leave!" She pointed to the door out. I gulp and freeze on my stand. This is the first time Cara has driven me away. She must be distraught by me. I couldn't do anything but follow her because I was already feeling pain from her sudden treatment. THE FOLLOWING DAY..When I left my room, Cara was also on her way out, which led us to bump into each other for not looking. We both couldn't utter a word when our eyes met. Cara came closer to me, and before I figured it, we were already in each other's arms, kissing. It's my 2nd kiss, but Cara is the first girl I ever kiss. But why are we in this fanciful?! And why I
[DAPHNE WHITE]When I got conscious and gradually opened my eyes, I instantly closed it again 'cause of the pang in my head. I held on to it. "Don't move yet." I should have gotten up. There was this urge I could not stop from igniting within me. I must see Cara before it's too late. "Where's Cara? I have to go see Cara!!." I screamed out at the top of my lungs as I cupped my bandaged head. I heard Craig sigh, an indication that something terrible had happened. "Please, Craig. I need to talk to Cara. I can't lose her." I begged, trying to take off my bed. "Yes, Daphne. I understand you, but in these times, you have to put yourself first. Get well first." What I perceived was not processed in my brain. All I could think of was Cara. I have to stop her from leaving me for good. "You don't understand me, Craig. I can't lose Cara. She needs to hear what I have to say." I feel like I'm losing her. I seem to be late, messing things up, and I could not afford that to happen. This time
A few months passed, and Cara still didn't wake up, but I never gave up or stopped hoping that one day she would come back. She needs to come back to know how much I love her. That I am ready to love her completely, love only her. "Daphne.. Why don't you take a break? Go home. Rest assured, I'll keep an eye on her." Craig uttered, patting my back, but I don't want to. "No.. She might open her eyes today. I don't want her to think I'm not on her side." "Of course not. Cara will not think that way, Daphne. She knows you. You know each other well." He said those with a bit of a laugh in the end. "You guys are like twins. Something connects your gut. Okay." For an instant, I come to think of it. "Besides, don't you have class tomorrow?" He's right, and I'm kind of losing track of my Acads as my focus was on Cara's recovery. "Fine.." I lifted my hands in defeat. "..But call me asap when she gains consciousness." Craig nodded. From that day forward, Cara is a sleeping beauty. Nobody
When I left my room, Cara was also on her way out, which led us to bump into each other for not looking. We both couldn't utter a word when our eyes met. Cara came closer to me, and before I figured it, we were already in each other's arms, kissing. It's my 2nd kiss, but Cara is the first girl I ever kiss. But why are we in this fanciful?! And why I couldn't resist it? I could feel her avidity as her lips moved on mine, and I couldn't deny that I liked it. It made me retaliate. Her taste caused me to be weak, trapped in its underlying love spell. Why?! Why do I feel like I'm being cradled in a cloud? I wanted to push her, but my body froze. The back of my mind was protesting, telling me that it wasn't right, but my traitor self seemed to surrender and did not want to stop the moment. Her hand slightly squeezes my waist, causing what seems to be electrified. I like it too. That's killing me. Why?! Why am I so excited for her? Her touch made me ask for more. "We can't do this. T
"Rose! Wait!" Daryl came running closer. "Oh?! What's wrong? Are you gonna pester me again?!" Rose blurted out irritably as soon as Daryl approached."That's harsh. I was just gonna accompany you, heading to work. Even that I'm not allowed to?" Disappointedly, the young man said. He has been falling head over heels with Rose for two years, even though they don't have a thing. "Can't you just mind your life and leave mine?." Rose protested, then continued walking. Daryl followed silently. When she reached the club, Daryl's feet stopped spontaneously.He never went in there because he didn't want to see the different men hanging around Rose.He gulped as the sweat dripped down his face."Oh, the queen of the night is here." A woman like Rose said. "Why are you late?" Her friend asked her."Better to be late than never," Rose replied. She went straight to her seat after entering their quarters as the club's dressing room. She put the bag down and then took out the makeup."A lot of peop
"When are you going to stop? Huh? Don't you intend to settle down for good?" Rose looked away and went to her room. Daryl also followed. "Talk to me, Rose. Is this really the life you want? How many more men will pass you by? Don't you feel sorry for yourself??" Daryl raised his voice. His whole body trembled with the depth of emotion he felt at that time. "What do you want, Daryl? What's not clear to you? Huh? You! Don't you feel sorry for yourself? How many more times do I have to push you away? Is everything you see not enough to stop bothering me?? I'm a dirty girl, Daryl.. There are many girls out there that suits you.." Rose's eyes spoke. Daryl's gaze stayed on Rose. He held both of Rose's shoulders. "I love you.. I hope it's as easy as you want it to be. Do you think I'll take this long to catch up with you if I can stay away from you?! Do you think I want the stupidity I'm doing? But what can I do, Rose? This stupid heart of mine and you.. you are the one this goddamn heart
Three years had gone, and Rose got pregnant by a Turkish man named Ferit Yildiz, one of her customers in the club. Among all her customers, Ferit was different because he promised her a good life. She hoped the man would marry her and take her to Turkey, but when she was probably pregnant, the man disappeared and never showed up."Mother! Mother!" She shouted as she felt the sudden pain in her belly. "What is it? The noise has reached the house next door..." She said as she approached Rose, who couldn't paint her face. "It's about to come out.. Ah!!" It screamed, writhing in pain. "Wait... Shit! What am I going to do.." Her mother panicked and left the room. It dialed the phone quickly. "What?!" Alright.. I'm on my way.." Daryl answered worriedly.In less than 15 mins, Daryl was in front of the house. "Man, just wait.." He said to the taxi driver and hurried inside. "Mother! What is this animal doing here??" Rose complains when she sees Daryl. It's been two years since she ended h
Today is Daphne's first day as a waitress at the club where Rose works. Primitively, Daphne didn't know what to do. Eventually, the job became easy for her, taking orders, bringing food to the table, and cleaning stuff, except for talking to drunken customers."Miss, can you sit with me and perhaps show some extra service..?" Someone said to Daphne. The girl's chest promptly heaved. "I'm just a waiter here.." She stuttered, talking back, and immediately left as she placed the bucket of Pilsen on the table.As the days passed, Mother Lili noticed that Daphne became the apple of the eye of every customer who spent nights at the club.The others even come back often just to see and fantasize about Daphne."Hey, Amiga.." Monique gasped when she saw Rose."Oh? What's up?" Rose answered while looking in the direction of her daughter. She was leaning on the pole of the countertop of the bar."What came into your mind, and you put my goddaughter to work here?!""What's wrong with that? It's o
