I couldn’t understand Robin at the moment, I was wondering if I had heard wrong, no, I haven’t heard wrong, just a few hours ago he had said I should stay away from him, this morning he had almost fed me poison and now he was saying he loves me?
“What?” I have to voice out, this came as a surprise to me although I wasn’t expecting it, I wasn’t expecting Robin to say he loves me, and now I was curious.
“Don’t think much about it.” He said before I could say anything as he let go of my hands. “Just leave my room.” He turned to head back to his bed.
I scoffed. “I don’t understand you, Robin, first you said you will only hurt me because you love me and now you say I shouldn’t think much about it, now you ask me to leave after saying this whole thing.” I walked to his front in anger. “Explain why you said that!” I lift my lip
“Dad, please let me go to my mother, she is alone and needs me, please dad.” I was sobbing, my hands clasped together as I pleaded with him, tears filled my eyes even though it was against my will to cry.“Robin, the earlier you stay away from that woman, the better for you!” Benny, my father shouted at me.“She isn’t that woman, she is my mother, your wife!” I barked at him, placing my hands, I have done enough begging to this man, I was seven, so what? I still have some right to talk.“You are mistaking Robin, that lady is not worth being my wife,” Benny told me and more tears rolled down my cheek, the words he had said had hurt me so much and I know if my mother heard it she would not only drink, she would do something worse.“How can you say that dad?” I covered my face with my tiny palms. Lately, I haven’t been eating, I hav
“What the fuck! Ivana!” I rushed over to the kitchen and turned off the gas. The place was filled with smoke so I opened up the window while I turned to Ivana with anger in my eyes. This was the second time she was trying to burn down the house.Ivana who was switching the other appliances off turned to me with sadness in her eyes, her lips curled up and her eyes were like that of a wet puppy. Her face was covered with charcoal and her apron was a mess.“I am sorry.” She pressed down her lips and blinked her cute blue eyes, the anger I felt inside suddenly reduced. Who in this world can stay angry at this girl?“What the heck do you think you are doing?” I raised my voice but deep down I wasn’t mad at her, I just wanted her to think I am mad at her.She stepped away from the table and pointed at the menu book that was on the table. “
"Robin, are you alright?" I heard Benny say as he opened the attic door and picked me up from the ground. "Damn it! You are burning up, Robin."I couldn’t say a word as I shut my eyes, tears rolled down from the corner of my eyes, not because I felt sorry but because my heart felt sore.Even as a seven year old child I know when I was craving for someone, I have never felt sick when I was with my mother, but because of this man, starving me, hitting me and locking me up in an attic.What sort of stupid affection and care was he trying to show now, why does he sound worried when this was all his fault?I wanted to push him up but I had no energy. My body felt so weak. I could only hear the hurried footsteps of my father. I didn’t bother to see who was also behind him, perhaps his lovely new wife.They put me in the car and my father drove off. I felt us moving. I
I lean by the window close to my desk as the teacher taught in music class. A student was performing, playing the keyboard, a form of showing us some skills and what the teacher was saying. My thoughts weren't in class, my mind was not there either, I was staring out at the birds that were soaring high in the sky while I thought back at Robin’s word. Teach me how to love The music ended and the loud applause drew my attention back to the class. I joined the applaud although I haven't focus in the class. The teacher said a few words before we were dismissed. I gently closed my book and put them into my bag, when I looked up my lips parted to see who was there and my brows furrowed. "Hi baby." Hinn said with a smile on his face, but there was none on my face, I could still remember the words he said to Robin. You look pathetic Robin I got up from my chair and hung my bag over my shoulder. "Do you mind Hinn Carlos? I would like to have a talk with you." I said seriously, arching my
Kate waved me over to where she sat, but as I took a step to head over a girl purposely set her legs in front of me and I tripped, falling face flat to the floor and the people in the hall chuckled loudly. I couldn’t get up from where I was, not because of the pain of crashing to the floor, but the embarrassment I felt deep inside and no one had come to save me from falling, there was always a man in movies who would rush in and hold the lady, but this was not a movie, this was reality. “Hey, Ivana are you alright?” Kate rushed over to my side and for a moment I wanted to keep quiet, but I knew I shouldn’t make Kate worried so I nodded even if my head felt sore. “I will help you up. Kate did and I looked over at the corner of the room where Robin and the other’s sat, Robin was staring at me with his hands folded across his chest. ‘Asshole’ I cursed him in my head. He should have come and caught me. I sighed, I was forgetting he knew nothing about love, but he does watch movies, do
I bit down my lips, I thought he would be staring at the beautiful Chloe but he wasn’t. I chuckled at myself, I was stupid if I think he would fall in love with someone he does not know. Robin knows nothing about love to start with. “Yes,” Ava looked over at Katherine. “You have something to say?” “Yes, we should skip the basics, whoever that is here and knows nothing about the basics of choreography should not be here in the first place,” Katherine said and I could see the director rubbing his forehead, of course, who wouldn’t be disappointed in an arrogant lady as Katherine. To my surprise, I saw the beautiful Chloe laugh and I must confess she looks so beautiful. “Chloe I guess you have something to say,” Ava said with a smile as she stepped backwards. “What is your name?” That was the first thing Chloe asked Katherine and Katherine hesitated before spitting her name out. “Katherine, why?” Katherine raised her brows. “Are you so good at Choreography?” Chloe crossed her arms ov
I couldn’t stop smiling as I watched Ivana dance with the new choreography teacher. Her every shout makes it so funny, but deep down I was happy, happy that she was spotted by that lady.I shook my head, she was truly clueless, she lost her steps each time, Ava would always hold her up and the reactions on Ivana’s face was so cute. I can’t wait to tell her how badly she has done.The practice ended and I watched her hold her waist and her step changed as she leaned to Kate before walking out, this must be tough.Director Donald and the two female choreography teachers walked out of the hall, followed by the others. I quickly got up when I saw the girl who had set her foot for Ivana to trip and get up to leave.I purposely set my foot and she tripped and fell and this time her forehead hit the hard surface. “Who was that?!” She shouted as she turned around holding her sore forehead, but she became silent when she saw me.“Does it hurt?” I asked indifferently, I was not going to pretend
As I walked out with Hinn Carlos, I turned around to see Robin leave with Ryan, I looked up at Hinn’s face to see him smirking and for a moment I wanted to ignore it, but then I couldn’t.I halted in my step and looked at Hinn Carlos as I left his hands. “I think you are alright,” I told him and for a moment he was speechless and Kate was right behind me watching.“Ivana…”“Don’t you think you are being so mean and insensitive to Robin, you shouldn’t always use his past against him, you should be his friend and not an enemy Hinn.” I spit the words out, not minding if Kate was here watching us with the looks of what-the-heck-are-you-saying-Ivana.Hinn scoffed and put his hands into his pocket. “You act like you know Robin’s past, Ivana,” I was mute as I listened to him. “Don’t tell me you do because you live in his house.” Hinn shook his head. “I have told you this and I am sure Robin has said it to you too, do not get attached to him, you may end up hurt.”“Don’t try to change the top
