Red Dress

CHAPTER 2

CONTINUATION OF CHAPTER 1

" Claire! Claire! Claire!, where are you sweetheart come out now, where gonna eat together with your mom and brother." I heard a voice from a guy that I think aged from 40's to 50's because of it little bit husky but you will notice the differences of the voice isn't it because when you're old, your speech is a little less okay compared to young people whose voices are so deep that you'd think they came from the very bottom of the earth. The baritone of the voice that would give you an idea if it's came from the young man or adult man.

"Oh my mama!, don't, I'm not guilty, I didn't steal anything, even if you check every pocket of my clothes." I screamed in shock as I defended myself and stomped my foot to get out of his grip. I didn't realize that he saw me because the foot I was following earlier was at the end of the bed and then suddenly he was there and the worst thing was he was still holding my foot. His so fast that I didn't noticed that he already holding my feet. Ho come he already in the side where I am hiding when I saw with my two eyes that he still in the edge of the right side of the bed while I'm on the edge of the left side of the bed.

"What are you saying sweetheart, I didn't say you stole, I just called you because we're gonna eat our breakfast and your mother and brother are already waiting in the dining area." He said after he laughed loudly that I didn't even almost see his little slightly dark deep eyes. I don't know if I will feel glad, nervous, scared and afraid of him because I didn't know him but his calling me sweetheart then he didn't even call a police to make me cuffed and imprisoned. I don't know what's going on because I don't have enough words to explain my mixed feelings. This thing is very unexpected I didn't anticipated that it will coming just a blink of the eye.

"Excuse me sir, why are you calling me sweetheart and why don't you call the police to put me in jail, you don't know me and then you're like this, what if I'm a bad person and then I suddenly stab you?" I said to him as I walked towards his front and placed my finger near his side as if I'm stabbing him. But I was very surprised when he just grabbed my hand so that it will come out I'm hugging him from the side of his body were like a stone, his body is just like a young man that grown up well who you would think doesn't have a child and a wife to support. He looks like a young man aged 30 plus because of his posture and the inherent beauty of his face. If ever this guy would court you and you are so dumb got fool by the physique of someone you would fall into his trap. If you won't undergo investigation about his background, if he have a wife or a child. You will just decide impulsively follow what you feel.

"You're really a child, what's going through your mind, why can't I recognize you and why would you do that to me, you're our little princess, I know you couldn't not do such thing, you won't dare do that, that's not how we raise you. Come on your mom might get angry again because we've been here for so long." I cannot understand any words that coming from his mouth. I got starstruck by his physical appearance at the same time I cannot able to function well or react about the happenings. This is also sudden, really suddenly. Out of nowhere happening. He pulled my hand towards the door while supporting my back as if I was feeling sick even though I wasn't. And when we got out of the room I was in earlier, I was amazed at the beauty that opened up to us because only on my televisions can I see such a grand staircase as if a princess would walk through it, their stairs are beige with a mixture of brown. the kind of stairs that have two long paths that act as your guide when you walk down and the width of each step that even if several people use it, it will really fit

"Sir, your house is so beautiful it feels like you are a queen and a king and your children are princes and princesses." I amazely spoke my thoughts as I looked around in every corner of this staircase, from the design of this handle wherein you will notice the line that serves as a design that looks like a pattern. I could not see a door or another room because when the room opened where I was in earlier. A long pathway would face you as well as the none ending stair case. There's no visible door or a room just a pathway that you can see the border because the wall is at the end of it. Wall is the one would welcome you once you get out from the only door existing on this floor. This is a great house. I never been go to the places or houses like this even I serve as a maid in the mansion of the cousin of my adopted parents. The house they is not like this one. It's a typical mansion we always saw in the side of the road. I don't know if it's a dream or real

"Hija! What are you doing, why are you hurting yourself?" He pulled my right hand that I used to slap my face to find out if it was just a dream or not. I feel the 360 ° degree slap I did to myself. I think this is real but a touch of it would never be a reality. This is part of my delusions of becaming a daughter of a loving father. Turn up of my mischievous mind that unintentionally making a story in my mind to escape the reality of life.

"Sweetheart, this is our house, not just ours. This is also yours. Your my daughter of course you are also the owner of this. What is going on with this child, what is coming out of her mouth?. Is my child okey? Daddy sweetie, called me that way, why are you calling me sir?. I'm not your teacher, princess." He added as if he was confused about what was happening to me. He put me on his back to piggyback me so we could reach the dining area immediately because he said I was so slow and there's a lot of nonsense thing that coming out of my mouth I am maybe just hunger because I didn't eat last night after sightseeing of what happened in our bonding. We did something that I don't remember doing last night because if I hadn't made a mistake, I'm busy mourning that night for the stupid life that I have and then I saw a crystal ball that contained a beautiful glowing red dress. After that, everything happen like a flash like a thunderstorm that I didn't notice will coming.
