LINGERING FEELINGS

SHUFEN felt the confusion enter her mind. The Madam's action made her feel confused. She acted like she felt miserable for Shufen. Like she secretly loved her. She didn't think that she'll waver like this.

'Don't act as if you love me.'

'Don't make a fool.'

Shufen thought she wouldn't feel anything after everything they'd done to her. Bitterness was all she could handle. 

'It's easy for them. Why isn't it easy for me?'

As if the weather could feel her sadness, it started raining hard. Shufen felt her tears fall through her cheeks, some towards her lips. 

'It's bitter. Like my life.'

Shufen found comfort in the sound of the hard rain. Standing up, she let her outer clothes fall to the floor. Shufen went outside, letting the rain wet her. 

All bitterness, pain, misery, and loneliness were all she could feel during this time. She felt like destiny played her.
