Chapter 13

"Come. come play with Tesa." A little girl about 6 yrs old pulls an 8 yrs old boy by his arms.

"Why should I play with a snobby little brat like you? Go and find someone else." The boy shrugs her off.

"But there is no one except Ma-kun. So come and play with Tesa." The girl grabs his arms again.

"Go away ugly." The boy pushes her.

"But daddy says Tesa's the prettiest." Says the girl.

"Uncle En must have seen you without his glasses then. Just go and don't bother me. Can't you see I'm reading a book? Do not disturb, little brat."

"But you're also little, Ma-kun. And Mama told Tesa to play with Ma-kun because Ma-kun is Tesa's only friend."

"Just who is your friend? I don't have anything to do with you. And what's with this Ma-kun again? Why should I bother with a girl who can't even pronounce my name properly? You can't even pronounce your own name properly." the boy taunted her.

"Tesa is Tesa. But your name is too long and difficult and ma-kun sounds cute." The girl smiled sweetly.

"I dare you to call me cute again!" the boy glared at her.😬

"Eee- Ma-kun's not cute at all. Ma-kun is scary like a demon. Now come and play with Tesa." She doesn't give up.

"Stop bothering me, go and play on your own." the boy went back to his books.

"But Ma-kun's mother told me to play with Ma-kun. She said that ma-kun is always into books and ma-kun will soon be a grumpy grandpa and will get glasses too so Tesa should get ma-kun out of the books and make him play with Tesa."

"You little brat!" the boy got angry and started chasing her.😬

"Kyaa! mama! ma-kun is going to eat tesa up." the girl runs for her life.😱

Teresa's P.O.V

Where am I? I open my eyes and I see nothing but darkness.

"Dad!"

"Rina!"

Where did everyone go leaving me in the dark?

I hug myself and cry.

"Please someone get me out of here! Please!" I screamed but no one came.

"Mama! Dad! Rina! Somebody please get me out of here!! Please!!" I cried surrounded by darkness.😭

"Please! Someone Please!!"

"Oi! Teresa!" I hear someone calling me.

"Yes I'm here. Please get me out of here please." I shout for help.

I felt someone shake me and few drops of water on my face."

I opened my eyes and saw a familiar face- my husband's.

"You okay?" His face was filled with worry.

I hugged him and cried vigorously.

"Never leave me in a place like that again. I don't want to go there. Never." I cried remembering the cold dark place.

"Okay. I got it. I'm won't leave you alone again. Relax now. You're safe."

After an hour I finally calmed down and slowly drifted to peaceful sleep.

Morning

I'm all cheerful now.😸

But the sad thing is we're going back home. Such a waste and here the fun just started.

My husband looks so scary right now, If I say something I'm sure I'm getting 2 hours of lecture so I better keep quiet.

I stare at my injured leg which is now bandaged and is above a cushion.

"It's all your fault. Who asked you to get sprained?" I stare at my leg and mentally scold it.

"And who told you to pretend drowning?" scolded my subconscious.

I know. Why God why? Why my plans always backfire at me? I look up at the ceiling.

"Get changed. We're boarding in half an hour." Orders the demon.

"Okay." I make a sad face.

"Do you want to stay here?" He asked seeing my sad face.

"Yes." I looked at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Just shut up and get ready. It's because of this we're returning. And YOU want to stay here and roam around with that broken leg of your?"

Shit. Here he goes. I shouldn't have said anything in the first place.

"No. Of course I want to go home."

"Then go and get ready."

"Yeesss Booss!" I said it in a singsong tone.

I try to get up but there's a sharp pain in my leg.

"Can you please pass my dress?" I look at him and point to the wardrobe.

"You want me to do what?" He gives me an angry look.

"Please." I pointed at my bandaged foot.

He threw my clothes at my face which I caught before it hit my face.

"You don't have to be so mean." I muttered.

"You said something?"

"Yeah I'm changing. Do Not Peek." i signed him to turn around.

"As if." He muttered.

"Yeah yeah whatever." i shouted back.

Half an hour later

Hehe.. looks like there are benefits too of getting your leg injured. You get to travel in demon's private jet and he even had to carry me here. Hehe.

My euelids became heavy and I slowly closed my eyes. But what was the dream I saw yesterday? I can't remember at all. A scary demon? No, I, myself am living with a nightmare. No one can be scarier than this demon beside me.

Time skip

After a long flight, we finally reach home. Ah Home sweet home. I actually missed it. I see mom come running to the car.

"Oh my child! What happened?"

"Mooom!" I Hugged her. "I sprained my leg" I pouted.

"Ah my poor child."

"What were you doing when she hurt herself? couldn't you look after her?"

"What is she a 6 yrs old kid that I have to look after her?" He glared at me then back at mom.

"And don't even bring this topic again." He glared at me again, I just looked down.

"Look at the way he's talking."

"It's okay, mom. It was entirely my fault. And seriously don't talk about this in front of him. He'll murder me." I made a guilty face.

"My Poor child." She hugged me.

My Room

I lay comfortably on my bed and try to call my bff.

"What the hell? Again this girl's phone is unreachable. Where did she go?" Frustrated I threw my cell phone.😡

Last time I talked to her was 2 days ago. that time too her phone was unreachable, I had to ask Rihito to check upon her. And again it's unreachable. oh well I'l just leave a message for now.

After a week

Finally I don't have to cover my foot with the bandage but looks like the days are over where I could take advantage and make Mr. Monkey do my works. Now he can go back to be a full demon without a speck of kindness in him. Because after our return, there hasn't been a single day where he doesn't pass a rude remark. Looks like the prince charming stayed back in Hawaii and only the demon came home. I think he should permanently shift to Hawaii, at least he'll look a little like human. Today too before going to the work he fought with me.

"My memory is weak? That jerk. First fix your attitude then come and talk. Idiot!" I looked at his photo and shouted.😤

And there is another idiot, Rina. It's already been a week and still no sign of her.

Finally I'm able to walk and now she's dead.

Rina's house

"She'll be surprised. hehe..." I try to open the door with the spare keys, but huh? this key doesn't fit at all. Did she change it?

Damn and here I thought I'll surprise her. Looks like I'll have to ring the bell. I bang my fist on the door and the door opened.

What?

"Rina is not this careless to leave the door open like this. Did something happen?" I panicked and entered the house and got the shock of my life.

"What the hell?!" I exclaimed totally shocked. I think I entered the wrong house, no wonder the key didn't fit. But wait I see Rina's photo hanging on the wall then what the hell is this? Rina's house and this dirty? I mean usually I make a mess out of her house but this time it isn't me then how?

I slowly entered the hall and see clothes, chips lying on the ground. I slowly pick the cloth with a hockey stick (you'll always get a one in Rina's house). It's a guy's shirt. Don't tell me she let that Eros the gross inside her house? She's not my bff anymore. She broke her promise.

As I enter further, I see someone lying on the couch, playing a video game. I can't see his face as he has his back turned to me. Yes I've got an opportunity to hit on his head. I slowly lift the stick and position the hand to hit him. But he suddenly turns his face to me and we both scream and I threw the hockey stick on his head as a reflex.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

He catches the stick on midair just an inch from his face.

"Are you trying to kill me, Teresa? Just for your kind info, I'm not Ryouma. Save it for your husband!"

"What the hell are you doing here, Rihito?"

"What the hell was that sound?" Rina comes down running.

"Explain." I shout to them.😾
