CHAPTER 2.
Yesterday was a really long day, I could feel an headache coming up as I kept thinking about it... She said her name is Ava,
I wonder who her Father is but right now I'm totally pissed at my boss, I had to work overtime and could only get going past 3am in the morning.
Thud!
"Boss said to drop this here, He needs it before the end of the day" One of my coworkers said then lwft
...
I knew this man would do all it takes to tick me off, He's always venting his anger on me.. I'm gonna have to quit sooner or later, my doctor already told me working too hard isn't good for my...
"Ahh!"
...
He chuckled lightly before hugging her tightly "Beautiful!" He said with a nasty smirk I wished I could wipe off before sighing as he saw the workload on her desk
"Still stressing yourself hun?"
"..."
Why is he staring at me?
I'm getting really uncomfortable now and how did he get into my office? Was I so deep in thoughts I didn't notice him enter?
"Hey! Earth to Luna... Luna Lane, are you okay?"He asked concern etched on his face.
"."
".."
*..."
" I'm good, just thinking about something... It's really been bothering me lately I guess"I said then shutted down my laptop and stood
"The essence of one's life is their worth and without so, they are useless. What's the use of useless people when we live in world that demands for those who are pure and whole? Isn't it quite bothersome how one can live and yet be dead? Why must there be a superior person in a relationship? Why is life so unfair? Why must only few people struggle for everything and end up losing it in the end? "
I asked all in one breath waiting for a response that never came. " I'm sorry, I... " He cut me short
" Hmm, have you ever wondered why people die everyday because of what they believe in? "He strode over to me and placed his hands on my shoulders
" What happened yesterday? Who was it that's been in been in your thoughts all day? "
I wanted to tell him,
I needed to tell him,
I know I can't keep doing this all by myself,
I needed a shoulder to lean on,
But...
Fear gripped me tight. Sucking me dry
'He's gonna die if I let him in!'
'They all die!'
'They always die!'
And it hurts,
It hurts knowing they'll leave me all alone in this cold world,
"I.."I clung onto him, my head resting on his chest
...
"Aren't you gonna spill what's bothering you?"
"No! " I smiled and pushed him away before resting back on my chair
"Cheecky"He muttered then sighed picking up his phone to answer a call
"Hey... Yeah... You're here?... Sure... Come on in then... Yep! See ya"
I squinted my eyes, this guy would be the death of me.
" Who was that? "I asked with a tone full of curiosity
" See for yourself" He said with a small smile
As soon as he said so, the door flung open and a lady walks in slowly
"Hello.. Once more"She smiled at me and I realized that this waa the same woman who caused me so much workload.
'How does she know Jerry?'
Hmm... That's nice, I watched her carefully as she walked over to him and gave him a light hug before sending me a death glare
Yikes! I wonder how I annoyed such a pretty lady?
I was deep in thoughts when Jerry's loud voice boomed in my ears"Luna... This is my sister, Ava Rose"
It finally dawned on me, I'm in trouble.
"..."
".."
"."
She slammed her hands on my desk making me feel quite sorry for my poor documents,she looked angry... It didn't fit her pretty face at all
"It's bad manners to slam your hands on other people's desk, It's plain rude"I said with a rather composed demeanor...A hint of anger flashing through my eyes
"Says the person who ran away after being taken care of"She said her voice cold and dropping with sacrism
She was really something else... There was tension in the air, the silence was deadly with both of us eyes locked unto each other.
"Hahaha!"
I turned my head to meet him, he was quite annoying at the moment, I was about to reprimand him when I felt the heaviness in my heart return.
It came crashing down so hard on me I couldn't breathe properly, the face of the lady opposite me turned grim and she only said one word
"Pray"
Was she crazy!?
Pray to whom?
Or... Did she think I could just do it out of the blues?
'This lady just keeps getting confusing.'
I took in several deep breaths and as I was getting myself, Jerry placed an hand on my head and started praying
Oh!
'I always forget he's a Believer,I can recall how many times he has invited me to his place of worship but time isn't a tool at disposal for me.'
This woman kept doing strange things all the times,
She was kneeling now, her hands tightly wrapped around her stomach and eyes shut closely. Her mouth kept moving with no sound emitting out of her lips,
She was quite strange
... Ava Rose
She looked like she was going to break soon but what really piqued my curiosity is the language they spoke in... Jerry really wasn't holding back, his voice resonated in my ears over and over, he was blabbering nonesense
Now I needed to know.
What was that strange language?
What was the heaviness I felt within?
Who exactly is this woman?
What's going on here?
