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?

SHE'S GONE

Toro

Trepidation overwhelmed me as I got off the bus to the scene. Bits of sweat already formed on my forehead. I sprint towards the ambulance van before it drove away.

Some of the policemen on duty tried to stop me but they let me through when I told them I know her.

"She's my friend." I had told them. I rushed to the van, my knees weakened at the sight of lifeless Nino. Her blouse was soaked with blood including her face. Blood oozed from her forehead down to her face.

"Who are you?" One of the carriers asked as I was about to climb nto the van.

"I'm her friend. We live together." My lips trembled as I answer. Frisson ran down my back watching her lifeless body. What happened? What led to her involve in an accident. Nino isn't a careless driver nor does she drive when she's intoxicated. Matter of fact, I haven't witnessed her taking alcohols.
