"Good afternoon," Mrs. Avena greeted the guard of General Cleofas' office."Good afternoon, ma'am. What can I do for you?" he asked."We want to talk to General Cleofas. May we?" "I'm sorry, but those who are allowed to talk to the General are higher person only or those with permission from them."

There's no class today but I'm so stressed. The thing that just happened days ago is still circulating inside my mind.  Mrs. Cambri's depressing face is what I can see right now. After General Cleofas sent us away, Mrs. Cambri cannot help but to cry. I want to tell her that we can still do something in order to save her son's life, but after the words of surrender came out from her mouth, I know that she already accepted her son's fate.  "Ugh! My head hurts!" I exclaimed while touching my head. I can't focus on what I'm doing. Instead of putting my attention on making my student's grades,  I'm thinking about my student, Angelo Cambri.  What will happem to him? Will they execute him also?  I feel distraught just by thinking abo

"I agree to what Kate said," Unah stated. "Fighting back won't help. The people with powers and money are the superior, while the others are becoming slaves and victims of their cruelty," she added. I can't believe what I'm hearing from them. It looks like they already accepted that Felghana is a cruel country because of its government. "Casy, don't mind the student. Never again. It's not your obligation. Besides, God is here. He knows what is the truth," Dhaile said as she stands up.  "Uhm, Unah, can I use your comfort room?" Dhaile asked. "Oh yes. Just enter that way and you will see a blue door. That's the comfort room. The switch for the lights are inside," Unah answered. "Thanks," Dh

"I don't know that you have that kind of past, Casy," Kate said.  "I just tell that story to the people close to me. Actually, Dhaile is the first one whom I told that story," I replied. "That's kinda terrifying, and also traumatic, but atleast I already overcome that," I added. "That's sure traumatic. Imagine, a seven year old will witness that kind of scene. That will give fear to that child," Unah said.  "Let's just forgot about it," I said. "Do you have any more questions, Kate? We can help you as long as we know the answer," I told her. "Well, let me see," she posed like she is thinking deeply about something. "Hmm, I can't think of any questions. What about telling me why other Ministers after Minister Kang didn't change the law about

"Hey, Kate. What's up?" I asked her when I finally get over my emotion. The feeling earlier stopped, maybe because I forced myself to do it so.  "Nothing special," she answered. "By the way, are you okay now?"  "Huh? Of course, I am. Why wouldn't I?" I asked her.  It's too late before I realized that I sound so defensive. I almost shout when I answered her.  "Okay. I'll just agree with what you said even if I'm not convince," she said before letting out a sigh.  "Why did you call me, by the way?" I asked Kate to change the topic of our conversation.  It's a bit unusual that Kate is calling me in the middle

I always think why I was born in this country. Sometimes, I wish I live somewhere peaceful, somewhere that law is fair, unlike here in Felghana.  I know that people should be nationalistic, and that they should love their own country, but how can you love your own country if it doesn't love you?  "Argh, stressful," I said out of nowhere while lying down in my bed. I just woke up but I feel so exhausted like I already did tons of work.  While lying in my bed, what happened yesterday comes back in my mind. I remember how Kate holds my hand, and how soft her voice even if it is over the line. I remember how her eyes look at me with so much... affection? I shook my head. That's not a right thing to think. Maybe I was just over-acting yester
