My Poor Little Cheska
#WritcoStoryPrompt5
The diamond necklace on the mannequin looked familiar. She placed her palm on the window that separated them and leaned in closer. In a moment, her eyes widened, flattered. Swallowing her saliva with her lips trembling, grasping for words.That stuff," she said pointing her finger towards the necklace. Tears falls on her cheeks, and she began to utter the name, Cheska my poor little Cheska." There was a guilt written on her face while staring at the piece which made her life miserable. It was 4 years ago, everything is still fresh for her to recall when she lost her one and only sister while they were happily shopping together that day. There was a crowd, a live band. Loud and noisy, 'til she realize her sister is not at her side anymore. Calling her name repeatedly but she's never heard. She struggle to penetrate from the crowd to get her way out to look for Cheska. An hour after an hour had passed, she was crying desperately asking the security guards,"have you seen a girl with a long straight chesnut hair, she's 7years old with a hazel eyes?she muttered crying. No ma'am,i didn't notice,"the guard said. Until she stepped out of the road, realizing if her sister went outside looking for her too. The people gathered around the street with the cops, she stopped and her heart began beating so fast. There was an ambulance and she found her sister full of blood while they're taking her. She got hit by a heavy loaded vehicle."Her whole world was devastated when she found out that she lost her sisters' life. And later, she came to know that there was a poor man in the street who picked and sold her sister's necklace. That tragedy made her conscience haunting her and brokenness is taking her into sanity."
