"The next food ration is at twelve o'clock," he said. He placed the tray on the bedside table. "Do you need anything else?" he added.I shook my head and sighed. The wounds I got that night were painful even after I took painkillers. The nurse approached the bed and put a pillow on the headboard for me to lean on.I closed my eyes and asked. "Have you contacted my parents?""Not yet. But the department is trying to retrieve your cellphone data." He glanced at me for a moment. "You really don't memorize your parents' numbers?"I shook my head. But I stopped when I remembered something. "That friend of mine. I memorized his number.""Good." He picked up the pen and paper hanging at the foot of the bed. "Write the contact number and we'll tell your friend you're here.""Okay thank you."I accepted the paper and pen and wrote down Tiden's number. His number is the only thing I memorized on my contact list. Suddenly, I stopped writing for a moment. I missed Tiden who was so overprotective.
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 29: His care
My parents and the officer who questioned me talked for a while. I didn't inquire about what they had discussed because I was busy listening to Tiden's stories. I just smiled as he talked about his experiences lately, especially the preparation for their upcoming concert in Bohol.After a while, the officer approached us. My parents weren't with him so I think they were busy talking to the doctor. The man closed his eyes. "Many crimes have occurred in the paddy field in Baranggay Masulob-on. Just last night, the precinct received a report. Two women were raped."I looked down. The truth is that I don't know why the officer was talking about that but I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the police knew what was going on in that area. Fortunately, I ran away from the covered court last night and didn't let the drunk men lay their hands on me. I may have become a victim of evil intentions."What are your plans for the place, Sir?" I asked and played with my fingers."We'll continue o
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 30: Tending wounds
After that incident, Papa bought me a new phone. At first he was angry because when I needed the phone it was broken. If only my phone had worked that night, I would have called them. I just shrugged off Papa's sermon as he looked for a good phone that won't break easily.I stared at the new phone. I've changed phones for several times since I went to the dock. I sighed and looked at Mama again. I smiled stiffly and scratched the back of my neck. I don't know if she will be happy or not if I'll ask her to let me go visit Bohol."It'll only be two days, Ma. Besides, Tiden will be there," I said. Tiden has already informed my parents and I know that Mama only gave him her approval because he contacted them when I was lost in Oslob one night.She stared at me silently for a few seconds before looking away. "Did I agree?"I blinked. "What, Mom?"She sighed. "Don't forget that I'm still not willing to let you fangirl, Rishel. Even if we have money to buy concert tickets, it's still not go
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 31: Guy on the plane
How many times have I looked at my wristwatch? I've been waiting for CareLikeGoldFish for some time now but he still hasn't arrived. I sent a message earlier but up until now, still no reply. Why is that?"Eleven o'clock," I muttered under my breath.The plane's flight is one o'clock in the afternoon. I had ordered lunch and ate first. It's half past eleven and Levi's still not here.I kept looking around at the entrance of the fast food establishment inside the Airport, hoping to see a familiar face but still nothing. Five minutes before twelve noon and he's not around yet!I don't think that he'll show up anymore. I sighed. We talked about meet up at the airport and traveling together to Bohol, but it seems unlikely to happen. There might be an emergency so he failed to come on time? I tried hard to understand but there was still a part of me that was disappointed.My gaze cast down on my cellphone when it vibrated. There is a notification from the reading app. I opened it and my fa
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 32: Resort
It was dusk when I step in front of the resort. It's past five o'clock. The name of the place was engraved above the entrance. I entered and went to the reception to receive the key card for my booked room."West wing, Ma'am. Room 375. We have different deals for room service. You can browse for the services and other deals in full menu at your room. For assistance and other needs, you can contact our reception officer. Have a nice stay !"I smiled at him and accepted the key card he handed. The crew assisted me to the West Wing. I looked up at the three-story tall white building. I think there is even a rooftop above. At first glance, the building looks like a dormitory, except for the rectangular blue pool and row of brown pool chairs on its side.The crew brought me a clean regular hotel room. He bid goodbye as I went inside. I put the backpack down on the bed and looked at the single cabinet, white bed, and nightstand on the side of it. There is a bathroom door.Nice. Not grand bu
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 33: The chase
I silently put my attention back in front and pretended not to see him. What was he doing here? Suddenly, my mind wandered back to when he joked, 'See you there', when we're still in EGL. Looks like he did exactly what he said. But I thought he was just kidding me!Sighing, I tried hard to ignore his presence and put my mind at ease. Then I joined the other fans when they sing along. "I am drowning in your lifeless eyes, they meet mine. You captivated my soul. Oh, I am under your spell."And I yelled, "Vine! I love you!"I got drunk in their song. I spun around, jumping up and down. I headbanged and screamed at the top of my lungs. "Oh! I'm under your spell! I love you, Vine!""Why are you shouting so loud?" Lyndon asked suddenly, but because the music was so loud, I didn't hear what he said. So I ignored him and kept looking straight ahead. But he made his voice louder for me to hear. "Miss Larica!"The corner of my lips twitched. I th
For The Stars Have Sinned Chapter 34: Inside the court
I stayed inside the covered court because I thought Lyndon would not enter. But who I was kidding? It's foolish to think that he's restricted to enter the covered court. When I saw him entered while panting slightly, I walked away from the crowd so people wouldn't notice that he and I both knew each other. I saw from the corner of my eye how Ate Rosan, like what she did earlier, gave Lyndon a bottled water too and even invited him to the activity. If I hadn't begged Ate Rosan to let me stay earlier, I probably would have run outside as soon as I saw him walk into the court. But I can't just run away after I asked to stay, right?"I am the youth minister of our church," Ate Rosan said. She pointed a finger on the decorations around the place. "We will have an outreach program to the youth here in Tawala. It should start at seven o'clock but the worship team hasn't arrived yet."Lyndon nodded then glanced at me. I quickly looked away and pret

After saying goodbye to Ate Rosan, I quickly went out of that covered court. I didn't notice Lyndon following me. My feet halted when I heard footsteps behind me and when I turned around, I saw him following me.I frowned. Still not done with what he's trying to do?So I ran away but he chased after me! My jaw clenched and I thought about halting and waiting for him in an alley.I folded my arms. "Let's get it straight to the point. What are you getting at, Lyndon? I said I don't know what happened in that victimless crime, okay? No matter how many times you ask me, I'll always give the same answer!"He stopped in front of me. I couldn't read his thoughts because he kept staring at me with no emotion in his eyes. After a while, he sighed. "But all evidences are pointing at you, Rishell."I blinked, the corner of my lips twitching. "Maybe the gunshot that the two witnesses heard were fake." Then I stared at him. "Aling Pechay said tho
