The beginning of an end

First the beads slipped down her
tiny wrist down to the marble
floor..
A tiny scream escaped her lips in
alarm!
Her most cherished possesion had
torn apart..
She bent to pick them hoping it
could be fixed.. He had given it to
her that was why she loved it too
much. He had whispered while
giving her 'so u wont forget me'
Immediately she slipped it on..
She did not go a day without it..
Barely staring at it reminded her
of his nice smile..
She sighed still picking the beads
clumsily.
A voice from within whispered
'this is the end of you both' the
voice said and if she was correct,
she had heard an annoying
laughter in her head..a fast
interpretation came to mind but
she ignored it...
She knew the inevitable was
about to happen but still was
hopeful..hopeful that a friendship
of 8 months would not break..
On the 17th of december,
everything just seemed wrong..it
almost seemed like she had
woken up at the wrong side of
the bed..
But that was not it..
She kept on a stiff smile anytime
she saw him and pushed back
unpleasant memories of the
broken beads
'no its not over' she whispered -
not until one of us say it
Who was she deceiving..she was
hurt and tired..she just had to get
away from everything especially
his unfriendly glances at her..
That night was a tough one.-she
rolled and sniffed on the bed all
night thinking if IT could ever
happen..
No she lied to herself as the
morning sun came up
18th of december would forever
be a remarkable day..
Though she was not smiling,
talking to her friends made her feel like there
was still hope
Hell no there was not.
She sat outside listening to
hiphop music when her phone
beeped..
That moment of truth ended it
all...it was over'..the voice behind
the beads was true.. He was tired
but still she loved him..she lay her
head on her clasped hands and
broke into soft tear....
After few minutes of tears, she
stood up, kissed the wind and
said goodbye to their romance..
I love u she said barely a whisper
and smiled..-no, not the end, the
beginning..

A severe crime

She looked down at the world before her. It was a new place. A new life. A new name.

She could not understand anything as she watched people rush off along the boulevards.
Where she came from there was always a goodmorning but here everyone was on their own.

She clutched tightly to her crimson purse fearing a robber was lurking around...

She hoped it was a robber and not the detective who had been investigating her in her town.

He wouldn't even recognise me she thought. My looks are different and indeed she had a total different face...

Noone from her past would recognise her.
But she hated her past life that's why she had to escape from the hardship.
After the murder case she committed everyone including the police had been on her neck...she ran away wit her lover who left her for another woman just outside the subway station

She had no money, no friends...
For the first time she was alone in the world

If she went back to her father he'd probably chase her away with a cutlass. what happened to the times he would swing her and call her a princess or take her to the bar and boast about her report card
Everyone hated her now..

All because she was a killer and a terrorist who had committed a crime no one should commit...a heartless crime which shamed her..
A crime that left the people of her home to curse her.
She had killed a goldfish worth nothing at all
