"Casper, don't wander around okay. I will be here, don't go too far."
"Woof, woof" he started playing with butterflies around him.
"Hi momma. How are you? I am sorry, Casper can be really naughty sometimes." She laughed sweetly.

"You know I left my job. That boss was very rude. She made me cry so many times. I never talked back with her. And she made me worked a lot. But last day I took Casper with me and she kicked Casper in front me. How dare she? My Casper is such a nice boy.
Momma you tell me am I wrong to leave that job? No, right? But Ella didn't agree with me. She said it was a secure job blah blah blah. I don't agree with her.
That lady cannot behave rudely with my son. I have no one but him. How can I tolerate that? You always told me we should protect the one we love and never tolerate if someone makes them sad.
My Casper became sick after that. I took him to hospital and he was so sad, he nearly met an accident. I saved him. I was so scared that day.
 Oh I forget to tell you, Granny called me last evening. She is doing well. She has come back from her brother's house. You know she scolded me a lot, said that why should I live alone here. How can I make her understand I am not alone, you are here with me. I cannot leave you alone. I am here only for you. I miss you momma." 

She paused, took the flower that she kept beside her.
"Momma. Are you watching me? You know I feel so alone without you. Why don't you love me momma?"
A drop of tear rolled down from her eyes. In front of her a beautiful grave

"Bella Sullivan (1979-2018)
Beloved mother, sister and a friend"

"Why did you leave me momma?" She whispered while staring at the grave. Staring at her beloved momma. She felt peace in this moment of silence. 

Everything became serene when she met her mother. She forgot her every problem. Nothing mattered when she sit in front of her mother's grave. She was just feeling her peace when the rain started. These drop of waters were just the warning that her life would be changed forever. That the freedom, the peace she was feeling won't be last forever. 

Alas, Frida couldn't escape from fate's play, she had to become a puppet, a pretty doll for the devil, fate's favorite character. 

"Casper, Casper" Frida became scared, crying loudly.
"Casper, where are you?"
'Oh no I haven't bring an umbrella with me. Casper will be sick. Where is he?' Frida thought while looking around for her dog. Suddenly she gasped. Looking in front of her she found Casper wagging his tail around a tall man.
A very tall man.
And there was another man who was holding an umbrella over the first man. She got scared looking at their attire, in a suit all black, looking like a grim reaper.

"ojos bonitos!!" Nicolas got shocked and at the same time amused seeing her here.
Frida looked confused. She couldn't understand what he said.
"You look prettier without the scarf covering your face" Frida got scared hearing his words and felt extremely uncomfortable under the scrutinized gaze of that man who was scarier than Nicolas.
She lowered down her eyes. She gulped and muttered softly "Casper"
"Ah your dog is so friendly and I thought he was abandoned." Frida frowned but didn't reply. Casper wagging his tail barked at Frida and wanted to go to her but the dog chain was refraining him to do so.
"Give me the umbrella and the car keys. I will drive myself. Get lost before you lose your eyesight" Rafael thundered straightly looking at Frida. Nicolas got the hint and silently completed his order.
Rafael took a step towards Frida but Frida got scared and took a step back immediately.
In this graveyard she was standing alone in the rain while there was no one but this buffy scary man. She didn't know what to do, her heart was hammering inside her chest. She was shivering, she couldn't figure out it was due to fear or rain. Casper barked again, she looked at her dog, her eyes were glossy. 

"Miss you are getting wet" his voice boomed in this silent graveyard.
She took another step back "Please let my dog come to me. We will leave the place"
When she didn't hear any answer, she looked at him. He was silently watching her.
"He will get wet and I guess he is a weak dog. Come under my umbrella then. I will give you a ride to your home."
She shook her head and said "I can't"
"Then take the umbrella with you." It sounded more like a command than a question to her.
She thought for a moment and answered "alright"

This time she didn't take a step back. He came in front of her. Casper jumped in her lap. She was all wet. But he didn't care less and happily licked her cheeks. 

Rafael took his coat and wrapped it around her body. She was looking funny but he found it cute and relieved that her body was covered.
"Um no need sir."
"It's raining heavily and you are all wet. It's not safe for you to go back looking like this. You don't even want my ride. Then accept this."
"How will I give it back to you?"
"When the time will come, I myself will collect it. No worries."
She couldn't understand what he meant. But she didn't want to spend a moment in front this scary man. She want to run away from here as soon as possible.
"Okay then I am heading back. Have a good day sir" saying that she started walking fast to reach her home. 

Avoiding the burning gaze at her back, she prayed to god for her safety. 

Oh Frida, how can God keep you safe when you get caught in devil's eyes? Well, the devil will keep you safe from this dangerous world but will you be safe in his dangerous hell?

At first I was thinking to make a morally grey character of Rafael but I guess I want to make him a villain in upcoming chapters.
