Tyron was running the car slow as we headed to Guandong Province where I used to live. I never thought that during the time I was lost here, I would come back again while still carrying the bitter memories I had when I left. I looked outside where I was beginning to see the gigantic trees. Our place is still quiet. Nothing has changed. Tyron drove for almost six hours. Fortunately, he was not complaining.I looked at his serious face; we left early; the sun was about to set and we still hadn’t arrived. If I could just drive, I would replace him. I stretched my body to wake up my sleeping spirit. I took food from our pocket food. Those are just junk foods.I opened it and blew up. He didn’t even look at me, so I took another piece and placed it in front of his mouth.“Ahhh!” I opened my mouth as if teaching him to gape. He just frowned, as I was already laughing at myself for what I was doing. When he didn’t do what I told him, I opened my mouth, then chewed the chip he didn’t want to
“I’m sorry and the mansion that burned down is still not cleaned.” The man who called us earlier scratched his head. I never thought the fire in our mansion was so bad. There is not even anything left. The only thing left is the few walls and poles that support the concrete of our mansion house, but are now colored black.The color surrounded the house, yellow things used by the police during investigations. It was yellow, so I knew we could not enter, so we were far away while looking at it. I don’t know if the case has been closed; I have had no news. If they asked me why I didn’t come back here, I would say out of fear. I felt then that everyone would blame me, so I hid. I don’t know if in two years how I managed my life. All I know is that I can handle everything.Nothing has changed in the area; it is still the same as it was before, with little dwellings, peace, and pure air. Maybe it was our old mansion that seemed unusual. If you chance to visit Guangdong province, this is the
I let go of my undies and was ready to hit my head on the rock and fall into the water, but I felt nothing. When I opened my eyes, I saw Tyron looking at me, and just a little closer to his face, he would kiss me while his hands were wrapped around my waist. My breasts could drench the clothes he was wearing. I immediately broke away from him and jumped into the water so that he could no longer see my naked body. I’m so embarrassed.“C-could you please?! Tell me if you will suddenly come in!” After I said that, I dived and went to the part where the water was falling. Even though the water was cold, I could feel the redness on my face, as if it was burning with extreme heat. Add to that my stomach with butterflies playing. It was as if they were playing and tickling my stomach as I thought of my chest brushing against Tyron. When I got to the falling water, I sat on a sizeable chunk of rock, and only then did my heartbeat calm down because of the pressure of the water falling on my he
“Just sling it over here and rest it against a tree,” I told and informed them I would only put it in if someone else was available, and I bowed in appreciation to the man who delivered the chalkboard I would use in class. My heart was pumping as I was thinking about what I was about to teach. I only hope my memory isn’t rusty enough to provide them with precise details. Teaching kids the things I wish to teach them does not necessitate the use of a professional. I’ll merely teach them to read and then educate them about the opportunities available to them if they graduate.I shake off my filthy clothing after assisting the man in lowering the chalkboard earlier. Because Tyron only ordered it in the other town, it was extremely heavy, and only one person brought it. It will take longer to arrive if he continues to place orders in the city. I took out the eraser and plastic chalk. Every time I see it, it makes me smile.I’m not sure where Tyron has gone; all I know is that Sandro is wi
Because of what he said, I want to laugh. Is he already insane? Why is he so irritated because I wounded myself with the knife? I produced a serious expression to demonstrate that I was not amused by what he said. I pretended it wasn’t a big deal and then joined in on his joke.“You appear to be right there in your thoughts. Is it possible for us to construct them together and at the same time?” I was thinking about what he said and pretend interested. I did not move from my spot when he began to take steps; instead, I simply looked at him. He just opens the door wide when he was about to leave. I expected a thoughtful response, but all he said was:“Okay.”When I came out, the children who had been standing outside were gone. Even Sandro is gone. I did not know where they went; I did not even tell them they could come here and listen to my teaching. The only problem is whether they will listen. Children today are hard to teach, especially when you have nothing profession to be a teac
I didn’t stay long in that place because the memories that I had wanted to bury in oblivion for a long time would keep coming back. The memories that have been hidden will only continue to come back and open the wound that I have healed for a long time. If only every person could erase all the wounds and marks left by the past, everything would have been easy.When I got home, I quickly went to bed. It’s going to get dark, so maybe Tyron is preparing something to eat, but before he left, I heard him talking on the phone. The data connection is not that slow here. There’s just a day and time that you really can’t find even a single bar of signal.“Yes, prepare all the materials that will be used. Just tell my secretary and she will list the items you got. It has to be finished immediately because you will only do a small concrete place.” While he was talking, I just listened even though I didn’t understand what he was explaining. I just think that’s for his business because he mentione
“You will come here while Lizelle will take Lorenzo for a meeting for the business presentation she has in mind. Well, it’s not a business presentation, it’s more like— ” Tyron pinched his nose and nodded while thinking about what he wanted to say. “Charity — Helping others project.” He scanned his eyes at the map, then circled what he was saying.We’re here now in the living room and talking about how Mark can get into Lorenzo’s building with no one noticing. They plan to give a virus to Lorenzo's email that he will send to every business executive. I don’t know how they’re going to do that as far as I know. That’s Tyron's plan. The map in front of us now is the map of the building. I don’t understand them much because the topic is about the computer. Mark and Tyron just say something about the word “install”, “virus,” and “email”. All I have to do is to buy Mark time.Tyron closed the red marker he was holding, then faced me. I still don’t know what to say when I’m there. What prese
“The government does not pay attention to many provinces, as a result of which people have lost their education and continue to live as they have. They had the idea that if you’re born poor, you’ll die poor. What can we do to keep this from happening?“ As I slid the projector, I glanced at them one by one. Now I’m going to show them the “project” that Tyron and I worked on in Guangdong province. They focus on me, and the attention appears to be interesting.Lorenzo glanced at me as he drew the pen across his lips. On the following slide on the projector, I’ll erase the grins on his lips. I didn’t make a mistake when I moved it, since he read the words highlighted on the screen. He get up and then darkly gazed at me. “Eco-Fri Construction aids the young, attractive woman who has sympathy for individuals who need support.” Okay, Lorenzo, just vent your resentment. Possessiveness will drag you down.“When I went to Guandong province to visit a friend who requested me to take action on th
