All Chapters of Chained to Dust: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The paintings on our wall made me feel ecstatic. I smile as I watch one of our longest maids here. She's old, yes. But still managing to serve us. My eyes found her staring at me. The freckles on her eyes as she smiled at me made me wondered for something. Can I saw my parents still living with that age? I sighed for a moment. I don't know why that suddenly entered my mind. But the thought of that sent chills on me. I don't want to think about it, but it's too good that someday you'll be practical to accept things you didn't want. I sighed. "How are you hija ..." her voice was always soothing. I smiled sweetly. "I'm fine, La."  "How was your vacation?" I asked nonchalantly.  "It's st

I saw the tightness of his jaw. I didn't expect his reaction with my simple touch. I folded my arms as I carefully turned my gaze back to him."Are you sure? You can stop, Riani." he said coaxing.My forehead creased. I looked at him again."Why? You don't want to?" I said nonchalantly.His lips parted at what he heard. The thought of seeing him acting like this made me to curious. I shook my head at the thought. I sighed after I saw a glint of smile forming on his lips."It's okay, too."I glanced at him. Never minding the intensity on his gaze as he's watching me closely."What is that?!" Demi voice filled my ears.I was embarrassed to turn to them. I almost forgot that Alforo friend was here. I bit my lip as I looked up at Alforo again. This time he's smiling confidently at his friends back to me.

I don't know what to feel. I was not on my own while listening to the lecture. I never felt Klaud's presence again. We don't have a proper closure. I don't even know if we break up or not. I also don’t want to think like that. It seems like this past few weeks were a bit tough for me."Are you coming?" Demi uttered beside me.I watched him while reading. I rolled my eyes at her when I saw she was looking at me with those puppy eyes."No.""Alforo is asking me."My eyes narrowed at my friend. I do not know how I will feel about what I heard. I turned my eyes to him again. Giving her my full attention."Are you avoiding him?" she concluded. I frowned. "No."He raised an eyebrow at me. "Eh why don't you come along?""And Klaud wasn't there." he said carefully."I can't.""Just once?" he

"Here are your drinks, Riani…" I heard Klaud's voice.  I was immediately alarmed to see him approaching.  I don’t know where my feelings got worsen or what.  Because I do not know where it came from.  And to think it’s from what I saw a minute ago where unbelievable. I folded my arms and smiled at Klaud who was coming.  I forced myself to delete the thoughts.  I’ll just stay focused and talk to Klaud in a good way.  And if he didn’t want to be honest with me

I stared at what Alforo might have gone through.  I sighed as I felt how he’s too cold to me.  I looked around where he might have gone, but I just left disappointed.  I’m too exhausted, I barely know where my feet took me. I was left no choice but to check the basketball player’s lockers room.  I looked at my wristwatch.  It’s exactly 6 pm, and there is very little light.  I am driven by my emotion to even hope he’s here.  I sighed and gained strength to see that he was there.
