A/N: short ud for tonight.
Artemis
It's been a month since my papa's confrontation and starting that day, I am now being monitored by them.
" is everything alright baby?" riri ask me since we are here in her office. She knows that my parents have been monitoring me and always fetch by a driver after school. But, I didn't say what's the reason to it. I don't know how.
" yeah, I am." I said then smile sweetly at her.
I am currently sitting on her lap, facing her while she sits on her office chair.
My parents already warned me after that day. They already obtained me from seeing riri. I don't know how to say it to her and I also don't want us to be separated. My mind was in the verge because I know to myself that I can't avoid riri and at the same time afraid to what my parents do to make us separate.
The feeling that I disobeyed and disappointed them made me guilty. This wasn't me afterall, the old Artemis wouldn't do such things that can make her parents disappointed from her doings. By that, I don't know if my parents would still give their hundred percent trust.
It's my fault though because I forgot to manage what I was hiding from them. I am confident that they wouldn't found out. I overjoyed myself on something that I really want to happen to the point that I forgot my limitations that my parents warned me. I want to live a life where they accept what I am but at the same time guilty to what I've done. I just love riri so damn much.
" hey baby?" I was back on my senses when riri pinches my cheeks. I look at her and she's now sulking.
" I've been calling your name cause you're not paying attention to what I am saying but you're spacing out." she and she's clearly pissed right now.
" I'm sorry love, I was just over thinking on something. By the way, what where you talking earlier?" I explain and asked her.
" what was running on your mind earlier? " she asked while hugging my waist.
" it's nothing important love." I said convincing her with my innocent smile and statement. She look at me for a sec using her squint eyes before nodding.
" I was asking you earlier if what you want to do since next week is your birthday." she said making me smile cause she remembered my birthday. I encircled my arms around her neck then think.
" hmm...i want us to have a small celebration with my friends and oh also your cousin, miss Maggie. " I sincerely said to her making her smile to it. She nodded indicating of agreeing to what I just said.
" well, it's noted then. Let's celebrate your birthday with them." riri said them stole a kiss on my lips. I just giggle at her behaviour and initiate the kiss that she just started.

" why are you behaving like this, Artemis?" my papa asked me the moment I got home from school.
I lower down my head before answering him. " I was just spending my time with her." I said nervously.
I heard me sigh after hearing what I said to him. The silence is too loud around the house.
" stop everything that you have with that woman!.This is the last warning you'd received from me, Artemis. " my papa said and I can feel anger on his voice. I flinch when he raises his voice.
" but papa...i can't." I said looking directly on his eyes. After saying that, my papa's expression became darker and pointed me.
" You! What did that woman do to you, for you to disobeyed us?!" he said angrily.
" papa she didn't do anything. I just fell in love with her!" I said rasing my voice this time.
" Haa! That love you have for her is pathetic. You're tainting a dirt on our family's name, anak. " he said and I don't get it how my love for a woman is a dirt in our family's name.
" but papa if you really love me, you will accept what I have for that woman. " I said cause I don't get it why are they so homophonic.
" as your father Artemis, I love you but what you just have is a disgrace in our family. It's pathetic, immoral and disgusting! You're being a disgrace in our family! " he said that makes me hurt so much. Being called disgrace by your father is so much hurt. My eyes watered after I heard that.
" Wala akong anak na tomboy! Now go to your room and you're grounded. " he said while pointing the stairs and I immediately run going upstairs.
My loud cries echoed in my four corner wall bedroom. I was hurt by my papa's words earlier. It's my first time hearing it and I didn't expect that I will hear it coming directly from his mouth. I don't want to leave riri and at the same time I don't want my parents to keep disappointed towards my action.
Is leaving someone can make my parents happy? Leaving my happiness can make them proud again even if it's hurt?
That night I burst into tears as the words of my papa kept lingering into my head. I cried to much until I fall asleep.
GOOD EVENING AND GOODNIGHT!!
