Alessandro's study room
He sat at his table with study lamp being his only illumination.
Papers lie scattered around him and the clock stuck 2 at night.
He removed his specs from his nose, rubbed his eyes and placed his specs on the table.
Placing both his hands behind his head he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
He loved the silence...he loved the darkness
They gave serenity to his chaotic mind.
But this silence was also short lived when he heard something falling down in the room next to him.
Rushing out of his room to the next one his heart accelerated just like it did most often these days.
As soon as he opened the door pitch darkness welcomed him.
Afraid he called out her name..
"Saph....?...are you fine ....where are you...."
No reply....he felt like he could hear her heavy breathing but she didn't reply.
He switched on the lights to see her small body lying on the floor...her eyes were glued on the broken side lamp and her hands clutched the pillow like her life was dependent on it.
He sighed with relief seeing her to be fine.
He took small silent steps towards her.
Reaching her he crouched down at her level but she still refuse to look at him...
"Saph? I asked you something...? Are you fine...."
"I...."
"I.....I...."
He nodded encouraging her to go on as she looked at him trying to form the correct words.
"Br.....o.....ke.......expensive....."
Suddenly her demeanour changed
She looked at him with horror and fear.
"I ....am . sorry......sorry.......S....orry.......!!!!!
Stupid....!.... Stupid!!! STUPID!! STUPID!!!!"
her tiny palms on her head trying to punish
held her hands stopping her but she
thrashing in his arms
"Let.....me go......let....me go!!!"
streaming down her eyes and pity
to leave her
to let her harm
fine...it was not expensive...it was
stilled listening to his
next words made
"C....h....eap?"
with a smile
"....just....like..me?"
knives were stabbed into his
face unable to
cheap...you my dearest are the most precious one
thumb on her tears and wiping them off her porcelain
I am a slut.... slut's
ones to see if
anything
placed her down on the bed covering her with the
silence meant acceptance but then he
should believe Saph ..only I am real and I think that my Saph only belongs to me...you are mine Saph....only mine...and
"..but...the..--"
placed his finger on her lips... stopping
speaking...close
"..no....I.... can't...the...y
...will...come....back......"
while gripping the quilt
next to you... nothing will happen.
looked up at him and tightly clutched
inside her quilt and held her tiny body safely in his
safety from the outside world...she needed safety from inside. From herself from which he couldn't protect

clicking voice of her heels slowly faded away as Andro's heart shattered to
down there and then
