HER ADDICTION

What do you think you are doing?' She abruptly stood to her feet, pushing the man away from her. 'And who are you? What are you doing in my house and kitchen?' The unknown man rose to his feet, wearing a puzzled look. "Your house? Your kitchen?" "Yes," Nino tried to sound confident even though mere looking at him sent cold blood down her spine. "A burglar won't be treating himself to dinner so who the heck are you?" "I should be asking you this," his cold impassive voice came again. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" After being cheated on by her boyfriend. Nino learnt her house has been sold to a complete stranger, the news of her parent's house being sold by the man her parents borrowed a loan from and couldn't pay back before their death. The news hit Nino Peterson to the core. She swore to take back her parent's house but when she realized the amount the man bought her house, she knew she couldn't pay him on time or send him packing either. So the two reached a compromise that she will still live in her parent's house until she was able to pay back the amount the man paid on her house. But will she be able to live under the same roof with a man knowing he's a complete stranger and the atmosphere will not be the same anymore? And when she also learns the truth about the man living under the same roof with her, would she be able to deal with it?

IN DANGER

 

 

 

Third Person Narrator.

 

"Toro, can you hear me?" Doc Kenneth queried, watching Toro's calmed features. His breaths stable. His muscles relaxed.

"Yes," Toro's voice sounded hollow, as though coming from a distance.

"Where are you now, Toro? Can you describe where you are now? What do you see?"

There was silence as doc Kenneth waited for him to speak. He looked at the ticking clock, to the little girl and back to Toro. "Remember, you just have to listen to the sound of my voice and tell me where you are now, don't go further away."

Silence is what he got from Toro again, and this time he started getting worked up. Wondering why Toro isn't responding to his words. What is happening? Paranoid, he was about to tap him when Toro's face contorted. His features started to harden and his brows suddenly drew in a thin line as though he was battling something.

"Toro, are you there? Can you hear my voice."
