Chapter Twelve III
Even before Celestine could entirely open the cabinet, it make a high, groaning sound. The creaking sound of the cabinet swaying open becomes distinct as she finally opened it. Dusty clothes and the wooden carvings were almost obliterated by cobwebs. She covered her nose with her arm and let out a sneeze.
She did not expect the dust to be too thick that it caused her nose to itch.
Celestine waved her arm to disperse the dust from the air. She could vividly see from the sunlight that shone through the room the dust particles dancing in the air because of the opened window.
Her eyes were slightly blurred so she gently rubbed them. As she finished, she opened her still itchy eyes again. It was something she can't ignore so she rubbed her eyes again. The comfort that enveloped her as she rubbed her eyes was unbearable but it didn't last long either because she wanted to change her clothes already that she might take too long doing if she keep on rubbing her eyes.

He just watches her as frustration flashed through her reddish face.She moaned and once again, changes her position. It messed up the bedsheets, some pillows even fell to the floor but despite that, he remained still, looking at her face."I don't know what you're doing to me, woman," he whispered as he stepped closer to the bed, removed his slippers, sat on the bed fastidiously—trying his best not to disturb Celestine.For a moment he stopped breathing as he finally laid to her side.
