Who is this girl..?
I take a closer look towards her short brunette hair, and that beautiful emerald green eyes. She probably be around six or seven in this photo.
I get up and look at the book the picture came from. It was a black leather covered thick book. The cover is a bit dusty. And I sneeze as I open it. I snort slowly and flipped the pages slowly.
This time most of it are hand written sentences and have numbers below the pages. I saw another picture of a woman and.. William? He was young in this picture.. I flipped another page, and I saw another picture of..
My father.. With William.. My hands trembles, I forgot how he looks like.. I haven't met him for nine years.. Before more bad memories of him rush into me I flipped to another page but no pictures could be found, then another, then another. I paused.. And dropped to my knees
Isn't that my mom? And that child in her grasp.. Is that.. Is that me?
My tears stained the page. That sleeping child in her grasp.. She was holding me.. She love me.. She looks happy with me.. She's smiling in this picture
But..
My chest tighten and I can't help but to cry..
I sobbed as I look at her carefully, I want to remember her.. I want to remember that face. I want her to hold me like how she did in that picture.. I miss her.. I miss her soo much..
.. Mom..
><
I glance towards the clock on the wall I have been crying for thirty minutes. My eyes must be swollen by now
.. I'll remember you mom..
I want to keep the picture but I can't, William will punish me if he know I touch his things, and he won't allow me to even if I ask for his permission..
I won't forget that beautiful face of her.. I flip to another page hoping I could find another picture of her
I flipped on the next few blank pages only to find a pages with traces of a picture, I put the picture of the small girl earlier and it fits perfectly.
I look down below and I saw a number
"One-two, two-one..
Who is this little girl..?
Right at that moment I heard someone unlock the door.
I gasp..
William's back?
I quickly flip the book close, put it below another books and leave the room. I turn back to close the door, and turn to face the living room. And my body froze
His muscular chest is upon my sight, right infront of my nose tips. I slowly look up to face him. I tremble..
"What are you doing in my room?"
The question alone makes me want to drop to my knees and hug his legs to ask for forgiveness. But instead I froze
He hold my face and make me look into his eyes. My eyes wide in shock
I wonder which William is right upon me now, is it the William I just met last night? Or the William that I have known for nine years.. Who knows.. Now is the time to witness this myself
"Do I need to repeat myself?" He asked.
I quickly open my mouth to say something, but my head couldn't think because I'm overloaded with confusion and fear.
He blink, and shifted his eyes downwards. I gulp, did he want sex? Right now? After what we had last night? If I didn't get used of sex I would be bedridden by now, luckily I do.. But still .. I need more time
"you've clean your master room"
I paused my breathing, he must saw the handkerchief I'm holding
"You're a good boy" he release my face then hold the back of my head. I almost jumped, usually when he hold me like that he wants to slam my face somewhere, but this time he dragged me to him and kissed my forehead.
I'm paralyzed
I was too relieved until I got confused and don't know how should I feel about this or react. I never expect this treatment from William. I stand there hard as a rock when William walk past me to his room.
"I've brought some food for you"
"Y-yes master" whenever he bought something I need to sort everything in order so I quickly paddled through the hall to the kitchen.
One. Two. Three
There's three bottles of beers. I wonder if he could stop drinking someday, he is just like my father.. Drinking and run amock. I wonder if this would cause him to hurt me tonight..
I try not to think about it
Some canned food, bread, soups, and a pack of something hard and yellow (raw spaghetti)
After I've done everything in order I walk back to the living room, sometimes even the house is clean, William want me to clean it again, so I guess that's what I'll do even my body still hurt from last night. Or maybe I should lay down a bit in my room(basement)?
no no.. Unless I wanna dig my own grave
So I walk to living room and saw William doing his push ups I turn back slowly, hoping he doesn't see me
"Where do you think you're going?"
His voice rang in the atmosphere, and I found myself stunned.
I turn to him slowly.
"I told you, I bought you some food"
"Y-yes master" I stuttered. Actually I don't know what he meant since I don't see any raw meats for me or raw fish. Maybe he's playing trick on me?
He stand up and walk closer to me. I gulp. "Help yourself" he simply said as he walk passed me with that grin on his face. I slowly trailed after him, making sure I got a gap of a few steps away from him.
Is this another game? Is this another punishment? Did William got sick again?
I.. I don't know
