HIS SHOULDER TO CRY ON

Emaya was caught off-guard. Her heart leaped into her throat as she speedily hid in the corner near her house.

She trembled inside when she glanced at her watch. It was already past 10. He is usually out with his drunk fellows or sleeping at this time.

Emaya thought he would still be drunk and sleeping unconsciously, little did she know he would be wide awake, standing outside the house, waiting for her to come home.

Emaya kept hidden from his step-father, not making a single sound, Her hands were cold and clammy.

Her step-father is way too strict. He becomes completely immobilized by anger when she comes home after 6:00 pm as if she’s coming home at midnight after spending night with some player, let alone 10:00 pm. Emaya was convinced she’s a dead meat.

Emaya kept praying for him to go away as if he is not her step-father but a wild, untamed beast.
