THE CHRONICLES OF HEPTA

Cool down...1

"Sir, please..."

"Miss Mariah Miller. It's too late. We already got another employee..."

"Sir please, you don't know what I have gone through just to be here,"

"Sir please. I have a sister who is relying on me..."

"I am sorry Miss Miller. I am really sorry,"

The man stood up and excused himself. Mariah fell on the floor and closed her eyes in pain.

Why is this happening to her, her family. What the heck is happening to them? Why all this misfortunes and unexplainable problems?

She could feel the guilt and blamed herself for everything that happened. Her mother's death, everything that Happened.

She just hate herself.

She stood up and wiped off her tears. She walked out and Sonia ran to her.

"Did you get it?" Sonia asked and Mariah nodded her head in disagreement.

"Uh?"

"The man declined the offer. I don't know what to do again. I don't,"

"So, we should just give up and leave, is that it?!" Sonia asked looking as paranoid as ever. She was so upset.

"Sonia please!"

"Okay, what do you want us to do?" Sonia asked and a tear fell off her left eye.

"I don't know,"

"I don't want to hear that word 'i don't know'!!!!"

"What should I do?!!!!"

"What should you do? What? What? Kill your self. Commit suicide, this is all your fault Mariah. All your fault. Mom died all because of you! If only you had not broke the stupid news of getting a job, Mom might be alive. But you DARN got us out of Merryweather all because of this DARN job of us,"

"Sonia!!!!" Mariah screamed and gave her a tight slap.

"I hate you! I hate you!!" Sonia screamed and ran away.

Mariah fell on the floor and cry her eyes out.

****

Sonia ran away, far away...she stopped and started crying uncontrollably.

She hates it when her anger boosts up. She got angry again.

She punched the wall several times until she made her knuckles bleed badly.

She ran her fingers through her hair and pushed away a bus angrily.

The pedestrians looked at her she screamed at them.

"Go away! Stop staring!!"

She picked up a heavy weighted metallic tank and hit it on the floor angrily.

"Go away!!!"

She screamed and pushed them away.

****

Jeremy and hena walked out of the mall pleasantly.

Hena was obviously happy. She kept twirling around Jeremy and jumping on him.

The couple saw a commotion and hena grabbed Jeremy's hand.

"Where are we going to?'

"That place," she pointed to the place where the crisis was taken place.

"Why?"

"I love watching fights, Punching or something else,"

"Sigh...but we aren't gonna take long," she urged.

The two walked in the middle of the crowds. Jeremy managed to see the commotion while hena was busy preparing her phone.

To take pictures precisely.

"What's that?!" Jeremy muttered

"I said go away!!!!!!" He heard the woman's voice and looked closer.

"This girl is crazy,"

He looked closer. Wait a second, that girl...

*"Wh...what are you doing?"

"Are you a thief?"

"Do I look like one?"

"Then why are you walking behind me and keep stopping whenever I take an halt,"

"Cause you are freaking me out. I am a pedestrian and not a thief okay? And your hair stinks, go wash em'" *

The memory made a flashback in Jeremy's head.

"Wow, she's beautiful," one of the men said and he felt pity. What made her like this? Why is she behaving like this?

Jeremy walked up to her and grabbed her hand.

"Stop that. You are destroying this place,"

"I don't care!"

"Please stop it. You are embarrassing yourself,"

"Jeremy, leave her alone. She is crazy..."

"Yea leave me alone and go meet your girlfriend!" She thundered and pushed him away.

Jeremy heard the wailing of a siren from far away and grabbed her hand again.

"You wanna end up in the hospital for lunatics?"

"Yes! I..."

He cut her off by grabbing her from the waist and planting a kiss on her neck.

"Jeremy!" Hena scoffed and walked away angrily. Why is he always kind towards poor and useless people. Rich people squanders money uselessly but why is this Jeremy different from others??

"Please cool down,"

She tried looking at the man but Jeremy restricted her from looking at him.

"Let go of me. I am not comfortable,"

"Promise not to go Gaga?"

"Let go,"

"Promise,"

"Okay,"

She swiftly walked away from him and he scoffed.

"You can all leave. Show is over," he said to the crowds swinging his hands signifying for them to move along.

"What's your problem uh!!!"

She screamed and turned around to look at him.

He tucked his hands into his side pockets and scoffed.

"Stalker guy?" She called him in a weird way and he sighed.

"Stalker guy?"

He chuckled and she made an eye roll.

"Are you trying to annoy me?" She asked trying to hold her tears

"Well, I saved your butt. A thank you would be nice"

"Well, good for you,"

She turned around to walk away and he grabbed her hair.

"Hey!!"

"Are you trying not to cry?" He asked and turned around

"I ain't trying to cry. I am a strong girl!!!" She snapped at him in annoyance.

****

"Argggggggg!!" Hena screamed the minute she reached her living room.

She threw the stuffs she bought at the mall on the couch.

Silvia looked at her in a confused state of mind and chuckled softly at her reaction.

She cleared her throat trying to act cool.

"What's the problem aunt hena. Why are you so upset?!"

"What are you still doing here?!"

"Whoa, cool down aunt hena. Where is brother."

"I don't want to talk about your brother. It sickens me when you talk about him,"

"Why? What happened?!" Silvia asked trying to get into her nerves.

"What's with your silly question little brat!!!"

"Whoa, cool down Aunt, cool down."

She sat on the couch and hena bit her lips.

"Silvia!!!"

"What?" She groaned

"Get out!!"

"I am not leaving till my brother comes for me. I am gluing myself to this couch,"

Hena ran upstairs in anger. She knew the little brat is just trying to get into her nerves.
