All Chapters of Chained to Dust: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

His gaze remained on me. I saw the moment his eyes softened at what he heard. The serene of the wind caressing my back made me gasp, not because of the cold it brought but because of Alforo reaction.  "Seems familiar?" he chuckled. I ave

The paintings on our wall made me feel ecstatic. I smile as I watch one of our longest maids here. She's old, yes. But still managing to serve us. My eyes found her staring at me. The freckles on her eyes as she smiled at me made me wondered for something. Can I saw my parents still living with that age? I sighed for a moment. I don't know why that suddenly entered my mind. But the thought of that sent chills on me. I don't want to think about it, but it's too good that someday you'll be practical to accept things you didn't want. I sighed. "How are you hija ..." her voice was always soothing. I smiled sweetly. "I'm fine, La."  "How was your vacation?" I asked nonchalantly.  "It's st

This is probably the most disliked day of all. I frowned as I answered the questions. I can't quite remember the formulas but still, I try. My other classmates are done, and I'm still quite assuring myself if my answers are correct. I sighed. My eyes found Alforo's gaze. He's in awe as I'm stepping closer to him. His features were so ruthless, mysterious, and somewhat more alluring especially on this typical kind of stare. "Are you done?" I nodded. He turned to me. I caught the gaze of a few classmates on us. "Yes." "Is it hard?" "Quite," I admit. I don't know where this conver

I saw the tightness of his jaw. I didn't expect his reaction with my simple touch. I folded my arms as I carefully turned my gaze back to him."Are you sure? You can stop, Riani." he said coaxing.My forehead creased. I looked at him again."Why? You don't want to?" I said nonchalantly.His lips parted at what he heard. The thought of seeing him acting like this made me to curious. I shook my head at the thought. I sighed after I saw a glint of smile forming on his lips."It's okay, too."I glanced at him. Never minding the intensity on his gaze as he's watching me closely."What is that?!" Demi voice filled my ears.I was embarrassed to turn to them. I almost forgot that Alforo friend was here. I bit my lip as I looked up at Alforo again. This time he's smiling confidently at his friends back to me.

I was so unsure of one thing. I looked up as I watched Manang. Its weekend but instead of finding at ease for it I can't finally do it. I sighed as I massaged my temple.I don't know why but the image of that girl keep replaying on me. Alforo has not helped yet."Are you going somewhere hija?" Manang asked.I nodded. "Demi and I have a conversation."She nod as I watch her checking the plants. I said goodbye to Mommy and they agree with it. Wearing my usual jeans paired with a beige shirt. I glazed over our grand staircase. My eyes immediately found out who was there. Its Demi.I smiled but it faded immediately on her remarks."What now? Do you think Klaud will pick you up today?""He texted me. Just busy maybe." I retorted her ideas."Sure?" she added.I nodded. I saw her quick glare."You're still w

I don't know what to feel. I was not on my own while listening to the lecture. I never felt Klaud's presence again. We don't have a proper closure. I don't even know if we break up or not. I also don’t want to think like that. It seems like this past few weeks were a bit tough for me."Are you coming?" Demi uttered beside me.I watched him while reading. I rolled my eyes at her when I saw she was looking at me with those puppy eyes."No.""Alforo is asking me."My eyes narrowed at my friend. I do not know how I will feel about what I heard. I turned my eyes to him again. Giving her my full attention."Are you avoiding him?" she concluded. I frowned. "No."He raised an eyebrow at me. "Eh why don't you come along?""And Klaud wasn't there." he said carefully."I can't.""Just once?" he

"I'll talk to Klaud." he replied weakly.My eyebrows rose slightly at what I heard. I immediately darted my eyes at him. His lips parted as he looked at me. His gaze softened a bit while he’s weighing my reaction.“You don’t need to, Alforo…”I shook at the thought. if he’s eager to talk to me like this I don’t know where it’ll heading."You don't love him?" he mentioned seriously.I was taken aback by his own words. His piercing eyes were fix on me as my breath hitched heavily. Why he’s doing this after all. He had a girlfriend. I bit my lip as I looked up at him again,"I do not know. You’re supposed to go, Alforo. ”I saw his gentle turn to me. His piercing eyes were surveying me like there’s something wrong. I forced myself to smile at him, but he just stare

"Here are your drinks, Riani…" I heard Klaud's voice.  I was immediately alarmed to see him approaching.  I don’t know where my feelings got worsen or what.  Because I do not know where it came from.  And to think it’s from what I saw a minute ago where unbelievable. I folded my arms and smiled at Klaud who was coming.  I forced myself to delete the thoughts.  I’ll just stay focused and talk to Klaud in a good way.  And if he didn’t want to be honest with me

I grew cold in my position when I saw Alforo leave.  He just glanced at me once, contrary to his usual work.  I sighed as the oozing pain on my heart define.  I bit my lip as I looked at him again.  Fine, Riani… I averted my eyes and turned my attention to Klaud who's upcoming "Here, Klaud."  I said to my sweetest tone. Klaud eyes lingered on me, he approached me as I noticed Alforo's eyes rested on me for a moment. "Sure, Riani."  he quickly said. "I thought

I stared at what Alforo might have gone through.  I sighed as I felt how he’s too cold to me.  I looked around where he might have gone, but I just left disappointed.  I’m too exhausted, I barely know where my feet took me. I was left no choice but to check the basketball player’s lockers room.  I looked at my wristwatch.  It’s exactly 6 pm, and there is very little light.  I am driven by my emotion to even hope he’s here.  I sighed and gained strength to see that he was there.
