A loud scream was heard from the small room located at the fifth floor apartment, the scream doesn't seemed like any ordinary scream that one can hear when somebody got scared of insects, or was beaten or something that resembles that type of things, rather it was shrill, painful, monotonic yet quite faint and baseless scream.
Sun was up as it was summer season, and the dry wind was blowing, making the curtains attached to the window frame dance with it, a dance filled with smooth yet elegant movement like the waves in a sea, moving towards the shores and then receding back.
However , the breeze didn't make the day any less hotter, instead the weather seemed pretty irritated, the light directly entered the room and fell into a tiny looking, exhausted face lying on the bed , the face seemed pretty scared and painful and the expressions were hardly that of a normal healthy person.
"Mo-mommy, please don't go, mo..mommy, what about our promise." murmured the sleeping lady, the lips parted and a sigh escaped with a quick breath, her forehead was sweating a lot and her hands were clenching the bedsheet tightly.
"No…..",huff ,huff. She woke up shouting.
"huff, huff , oh! It was again a dream, it's been so long but it will never leave me alone." the girl said, sitting upright and spreading one leg another keeping close to her chest and with a broken voice trying to catch on her breath and calming from the nightmares.
She violently caressed her hairs as it was already hurting a lot from such strong pressure from the nightmares but it was common for her and she has gotten used to it as a regular habit.
She climbed down her bed and went in front of the mirror to observe her reflection. The mirror was placed towards the right side of her bed and it was placed a bit far away from the bed. So that she doesn't have to see her reflection all the time.
She stood in front of the mirror without any reaction and instead of seeing her normal body and face, the first reflection that she saw was her whole body covered in blood. However after looking at the reflection for sometime it turned into her normal portrait, the dull, sunken eyes with deep eye bags, dry skin with some stress marks and a leaner almost skeleton looking frame of a body.
"When can I get a normal look of myself and why does this blood have to pop up all over my body?Ju'...st w..when can I get the(,sob) answers?" frustratingly she shouted and at the end of her sentence her voice almost broke down into a morn and she folded her hands, squat down into the floor, crying her eyes out.
After fifteen minutes she stood up barely with any energy left, but nothing could be done as she had to work through it if she wanted to get peace. She straight away went to her bathroom as she was sweating a lot both from the hotness and her inner pressure.
Splash ,Splash, the sound of the water was heard from the washroom, it was clear that she was taking a shower as that was the only thing which could keep her mind sane and take away some of her burdens.
As she was showering, she felt relaxed and it seemed like she had dived into the blue,clear and warm waters of an ocean and the upthrust of the water was balancing her weight making her feel as if she was also part of the wind and can float down anywhere.
"If only I can remain inside this water for a bit longer." she thought, as her mind started to relax a little, taking the headache out with it.
However, this was not the case and she has to get ready otherwise she might be late to college.She hurriedly turn off the shower and came out of her bathroom then after drying her hair, she wore her jeans and baggy shirt and before heading out made herself some milk tea as she never ate breakfast due to the tension that she had to went through in the morning.
"Good morning, misses jiu." said she, riding down the stairs, to her landlady who was unpacking the vegetables that arrived shortly during the morning.
"Oh, good morning, Luci, " said the landlady with a bright smile on her face,"Going to college?"
"Yes , Mrs. Jiu, ",she said smilingly.
"oh , dear you are looking exhausted, do take care of yourself, honey."Said Mrs.jiu in a concerned tone .
"Yes, i will, Mrs.jiu, thank you for the concern" she said, while bowing a bit to show her gratitude and with a bright smile went on her way.
"Oh lord, this child is really miserable, please give her happiness." prayed Mrs.jiu to God as she saw the girl leaving.
Luci was walking towards the bus stop to catch her bus when she saw a lady running behind a car and saying,"I am sorry sir, i won't do the same mistake again please come back. Sir, please!".
The car passed by her without stopping, leaving behind the lady. Who was weeping desperately.She cried and welled for a long time but nobody came back and instead the crowd who was assembled there to see what happened didn't dare to speak a word and dispersed without helping her.
"Oh God, one more playboy of a rich company or enterprises, breaking other people's hearts after getting their enjoyment ."thought Luci, as she carefully observed the surroundings and the behaviour of all people.
Suddenly, she heard the horn of the bus and after taking one more glance at the beautiful lady climbed up the bus.
It was not that she was not kind but she knew her boundaries and the expense that she has to bear for messing up with the wrong persons, hence she never involved herself into this mess because she already has a lot on her plate and making unreasonable enemies was the last thing that she wanted.
"Poor girl, I hope you get justice or atleast the power to move on because heartbreaks are nothing." she thought and a painful smirk appeared on her face, she then plugged on her earphones hoping to get a quiet ride to her college.
On the other side of the road a red Mercedes was moving at full speed. The elegant texture of the car itself told the ordinary persons to stay out of its way as the subjects who, subconsciously seeing a king stay out of his way.
Inside the car a man, of twenty four or twenty five was sitting with his head laid back and his legs crossed crossed with each other, his arms folded giving a vive of aristocrat person, that executes a aura of supremacy. He was wearing a black shoot and his brown hairs were slightly messed.
"President, was it ok to leave her like that?" questioned another man sitting at the driver's seat and driving the car. His voice was very gentle and low as if he had swallowed some candies.
"Don't ask questions that are none of your business." said that man, quite irritatingly and without opening his eyes.
"I am sorry," said the other one formally.
"Sir, you have got two lunch meetings, a board meeting in the afternoon and a personal meeting with the head of data infosys premises." said he, peeking at the CEO in order to make sure whether he should proceed further.
Upon observing the silence he continued," you also have a donation meeting and press conference to answer the questions for our latest launched products and a lecture at yonsei university.
Upon hearing the name of the college, the president opened his eyes as if he has heard something important.
"Uh, Mr.Brian, if you want we can cancel your lecture at the college." said the secretary, upon seeing his reaction which was very unusual from his real reaction.
"No, we are going there first." he said, looking out of the window.
"Maa, after so many years I am visiting your alma mater, will you be happy about that?" thought he, while looking at the road that was passing behind the car.
