What I saw stuck in my mind. It's been a week since I stopped going to the Montenegro mansion. We are also busy harvesting mangoes in the morning. In the afternoon I sleep for two hours and at four in the afternoon I start making bracelet beads again. It's not made of shell anymore because I don't go to the beach anymore. Because it was close to the mansion.

I'm avoiding getting close to it. it always happens to me. First I lost my first kiss, second, my chest tightened when I saw Manuel kissing someone else or maybe because I was just so shocked.

I took a shower and cleaned up. sat on my own bed and took under the mattress the money I had accumulated contained in the large purse. I started counting and found out it was 800 pesos.

"There are 550 uniforms at Stella Maris Academy in town. I still have 250 of them. Maybe it will fit in school supplies." I said to myself and combed my hair.

I only saved the whole harvest because sometimes we also buy a few groceries of Lola Tessa.

I put on a brown dress and let my slightly wet hair fall out. I took a backpack to the kitchen and said goodbye to grandma.

"Grandma, I'm going to town. I'm going to buy school supplies."

"It's going to be afternoon, Kim. It’s dangerous."

I nodded to my grandmother. "Grandma, don't we have a saying? If you can do it now why not? Besides, I'm done with the bracelet grandma."

Someone took it out of my pocket and handed it to me. "I have 200 more here, add to your money."

I took that. "All right grandma, I'll buy grandpa's dish and medicine."

"I didn't say that. ."

"That's right grandma. Your school year is next week. We can still harvest mangoes."

"Oh, you're so smart...Go for a walk and spend the night. "

"Alright!"

I walked the rocky dirt path and sometimes there was more mud. It was inevitable that my slippers would get muddy.

The town is no longer tormented because the road is already cemented. I sweat a lot from walking. I was very pleased to buy a five -piece notebook. I also chose two ballpen and a paper. Because my budget is only 250, that's all I put first.

In the fish market I also choose fresh fish.

I saw some fresh bangus. "! How much the kilos of bangus?" I asked the guard bearded man.

"It's free! Just ask for your number!" he even winked at me.

“Is it just that? "All right! Number 29! It's my brother's birthday!"

The man stopped and scratched his head. "You are so slow.”

"Yes? What, brother?"

"Nothing!"

"Where's my fish brother? I already gave you my number." I'm so dazzled by his anger.

"That's not a number!"

"But that's what you said. Besides, I already gave it to you. It's your deceit.Maybe even your weight is deceitful. "

“Alright! That's a kilo. Don't come here again!" It seemed even compelling that it gave me a kilo of bangus.

He said it e. I gave you my number. Why angry?

I am happy to go home to our village because I was late in the market I was told to go home.

The sun has set as I am on a bumpy road. Fortunately, there was a light pole so I could still see the road. It was so quiet and all I could hear was cricket.

A tricycle suddenly stopped at my side. "Are you coming home Kim? I'm on board."

I smiled and nodded. "Thank you Domeng! It's tiring to walk." I sighed and got on the tricycle.

I could hear the cricket and the noise of the leaves of the trees colliding because of the strong wind as if it was still raining. I was nervous as I looked at the road without a light. Concentrated hairy trees on the side and elongated grass.

" Domeng, isn't this the way?" I was nervous that it didn't move and looked straight ahead. Until it turned into the dark part of the sugarcane field.

I know how I feel. When nervous and afraid know if the situation is not good. "Manong! Take me down!" My eyes got hot but my body got cold from the nervousness.

"Shut up! I've been lusting with you ever since.It's good to see you alone. "His voice seemed to be demonic. The face of Domeng that I had known before was far away.

I closed my eyes tightly and grabbed the steering wheel of the tricycle trying to pull the brakes to stop. "Damn kid! We're going to crash!" he shouted cry as the tricycle shook.

"Stop it ! What's wrong with you! I'll report you!" I shout here. But I tasted a slap. My face tilted and I felt the metallic liquid flow from my mouth.

"That ‘s if you will still alive!!"

I didn't hesitate to jump to get off the tricycle.

A slump of my body on the rocky and muddy road. I immediately felt pain and hit my elbow on the kidney. I grabbed it and watched the tricycle stop. Domeng got down there and ran to me.

"Help!" I shout and run fast. I could no longer feel my breathing and my heart beating.

"Come back! I'll kill you!"

I was covered in the ears of echo voice whose voice was demonic. "Help! Help me!" I cried ..

Even though the body hurt I forced myself to run fast. I was about to turn the corner we had earlier when it grabbed my hair and pulled. I fell to the cracked ground and he immediately hit me.

"Don't Domeng!" I begged without saying a word he kissed me on the neck.

"You smell good!"

"Don't!"

"I'll taste you young. You are delicious-" it suddenly jumped on the floor I immediately got up and adjusted the strap of the king's dress that had been saved.

My body was full of mud and I had blood on the other knee. I covered my ears and blinked emphatically. Because of the extreme fear I no longer knew what to do but to cry in grief and extreme fear. I can feel the trembling of the muscles.

Despite crying I saw a light coming from the two cars. the shout of the naughty Domeng that was right. Its emphasis on pain.

A murmur in a familiar voice I heard. Noise of voices I think are police.

I heard footsteps. Someone stood beside me and touched my hair. "Don't-Please-" I cried and remained trembling.

One more cheap I heard. Can't look up because I'm afraid of everyone.

"I’m here..It’s me Manuel." he growled huskily. I fell silent in tears and slowly looked up.

My lips trembled and the tears multiplied. the congested chest loosened and the fear disappeared. His jaw tightened and I saw that his fist was bleeding.

I raised my hand to touch his face but with the pain of the body the shiver I could not do. it remained in the air but it was he who reached out and brought it to his face.

"Let's go .." He said and grabbed me to the ground. The mud and blood in my body did not work. I felt comfort in his arm. Bina cup cup face in his chest.

"I'm going home. grandma-" I was Stopped what to say as he touched his lips to my forehead.

"I'll take care of it. Go to sleep first ..." I felt the control anger in his voice and the trembling of his hand. He still seems angry at something and wants to get lost.
