When you thought everything is okay, reality will suddenly slapped you real hard- that no matter how good everything was, bad things is still right behind the corner waiting for the right time to strike again and mess your life again.
It's always like that. You're a happy and then you're sad later. If you're sad now, you're happy later. It is a continuous cycle, a very redundant scenario. It was like a story that has a same plot but with different lines. It so fuck up!
Before I end up in this kind of mess, in this kind of danger- everything is just good compare now. I have a peaceful and quite life away from trouble. I know it's boring because I spent all my life in dancing isolating myself from the people around me.
I don't have a good relationship to my father, we don't usually talk, we don't even eat a meal together. I am not that welcome to the eyes of Mommy Adie even to Aliah, my haft sister. I was the black swan of the Zeneca family. I exist but only as th
Svanna Rose Zeneca-SantoriniWhen Vicenzo said that 'this is now over' he was wrong. That is just the end of our first journey together and the beginning of another battle that we must conquer together. During that last fight with Flacara Mafia, everything changes. Gordon died... Mom killed him intentionally. I couldn't accept it. But I need to be strong because he told me that he wanted to see me rising from the spotlight.I thought being the prima ballerina is the peak of my dreams. But then I realize that I just wanted to have Vicenzo stay with me the rest of our life. I don't need to be the prima ballerina of Zeneca Ballet or to be the white swan of Swan Lake play. Because I am already the prima ballerina to my own story and I just have to recognize that the main character doesn't just always play at the center. She could be a black swan like me.And this is my last dance, my last dance as the black swan. Because
"Where have you been?"I flinch and rooted on my spot upon hearing that familiar hardening tone of voice.My eyes slowly widened seeing the familiar silhouette of a man, sitting on the dark corner of my room. I blink my eyes not believing what my eyes making me see.He's here? What is he doing here?"I wanna do bad things with you my flower, I been waiting for you" he said in low husky tone just enough for me to heard him.I didn't able to answer, still surprised.I narrowed my eyes to see him clearly, and I wasn't mistaken as I saw his lips curved into a malicious smile. I immediately step back, realizing that it was really him.It's definitely him. I'm not hallucinating."Did cat got your tongue honey?" He playfully ask me, hearing the manly tone of his natural foreign accent."V-Vicenzo..." I whisper still startled with his presence.A dangerous smirked form in his lips a
My sweat is all over my face as I sitted on the floor curling my legs for me to remove my pointe shoes. I practice enoughed for this day, I also need to rest for me to gain strength for tomorrow's preparation for the upcoming event of Zeneca Ballet.Sighing, I rested my back on the wall while staring the white face towel hanged on the ballet barre inside this room. I don't have the strength anymore to stand up, that's why I didn't wipe my sweat yet. Maybe later, I just need to breath evenly.I lean the back of my head on the wall for me to feel more comfortable and close my eyes while my right arm is resting on my right knee feeling the silence inside the dance studio. But then, the door open harshly creating an unwanted sound causing my brows to furrowed."Anna!" yelled by the familiar voice of a woman followed by the sound of her heavy footsteps.I don't need to open my eyes to figure out who was it. It was definitely my sister Aliah.
"Svanna" I heard Dad said in warning tone when I just stared the hand of this man in front of me.Everyone are silent as the man in front of me patiently wait for me to accept the handshake. I bit my lower lip and fisted my hand."Svanna Rose, what are you doing?" I heard Dad utter in his serious stern voice.I eyed his hand and then lift my head. His hodded eyes and unlawful beauty is screaming with roughness and unyielding authority, and it was my instinctive reaction to step back again with hesitation. He look so dominant and dangerous and although he was now three feet away from me, I'm scared that he might slit my throat because honestly, he looks like he can kill someone in just a blink of an eye."Svanna, take his hand. You're making a scene" Aliah whisper beside me. I nod my head and took a deep breath forcing myself to take his hand.But my eyes widened when he suddenly hold my hand tightly and pulled me closer to h
"What the hell are you talking about?!" I exclaimed glaring at him with my gritted teeth."I guess you're still not aware of what is happening" he stated in his manly voice sounding so foreign in my ears."What do you mean?" I ask curiously but nervously.He take a step towards me and in every step that he made is so sure and intimidating and all I could do is to step back."Your father. He gave you to me in exchange of the sponsorship" he stated looking at me straight in my eyes.My lips tremble not wanting to believe him. Why would I believe him? I don't even know him personally. I just met him a while ago. He's lying, he's definitely lying."My father will never do that" I retorted shaking my head."You're wrong honey, your father just sold you to me a while ago" he said in controlled voice"NO!" I shout, provoke with his sudden announcement.Daddy will never do that to me. He will never
Im wearing a long black cotton dress just above my ankle and black flat sandals to free my feet from the pointe shoes I'm wearing during the performance.I'm now sitting comfortably on the back seat of the car eating an ice cream to calm myself.I will deal the calories later."I almost got hit by a truck"I said talking to Gordon who's driving the car. He's looking straight to the road not giving me a single glance.I can't imagine what will happen to me if I was really hit by that ten wheeler truck. Probably I would die. Well, I would rather choose to die than to live without my feet and legs. I will keep on dancing until my last breath. The only thing that could stop me from dancing is death."I saw what happen Young Lady, I'm sorry I wasn't there with you" he apologetically replied. He should be.I nod my head and let the ice cream melt inside my mouth savoring it's flavor. The celebration is still ongoing but I do
Pieces of broken glasses are scattered on the floor. Daddy is standing near the corner table while Mommy Adeline is in the middle of the living room holding a sharp long piece of broken glass.I was dragged back to my reverie when a blood drops on the floor continously."Dad!" I shout in panicked and immediately run towards them."Stop right there Svanna" Dad stop me in strict voice while looking at Mommy Adeline."Mommy Adie..." I whisper under my breath feeling terrified seeing the blood on the floor.Mommy Adeline is obviously wounded, seeing her how she grip the sharp broken glass is enough for me to conclude.What is happening? Are they fighting ?"Do not take a step Svanna, you might harm your feet. The floor is not safe for you and to Aliah" Dad said seriouslyI look at Mommy Adeline, she's not saying anything and it's confusing me more."What's really happening Dad? What did you do to Mommy Adie?" I a
It was a very unusual morning . For the past years living together with my haft sister and Step-mother, this is the first time I'm going to eat breakfast with them that's why it feel so strange. This morning is exceptional."Thank you" I whisper when Yaya Adelphi put down a glass of warm water for me.She just smile and tap my shoulder and then she go back to the kitchen."Do you know what happen last night? Did Mommy Adie and Daddy had an argument after the party?" I can't help but to ask Aliah who's sitting across to meShe lift her head and crossed her arm raising her eyebrow to me. I wanted to rolled my eyes because of her unpleasant attitude, but then I wanted to show some respect in front of the food. I don't want to start an arguments too."You don't have to answer me" I said plainly and put some strawberry jam on my slice bread.I heard her snorted as she continue eating her cereals. I'm eating too much carbs lately
