EPISODE THIRTY SIX
TITLE: A TOUGH MOMENT FOR THEM ALL.
TWO WEEKS LATER ~
Onida didn’t resume her daily chores, she will be seen around the house, crying silently.
She had no one to talk to or confide in.
Being a sex slave who got pregnant without her master’s permission and ‘luckily’ she lost the baby, She should be the most grateful human alive because she would have been dealt with severely.
Onida didn’t know why it pained her so much that she lost the baby. She just couldn’t help it but pitied the little baby.
She didn’t even notice that her monthly flow hasn’t been coming, Margaret’s cruel behaviors towards them didn’t let her mind about her body.
Sometimes, Adriel will see her in the hidden corners, crying profusely but there’s nothing she could do to help her.
He has seen her worst state for the past two weeks, she barely eats or talks to anyone.
It pained her so much that Azazel instructed the guards not to let her into his courtyard.
“He hates me already, I should have paid more attention to his child”She would lament all day.
Onida would sleep late at night and pray to the man that appeared in her dreams a few times not to wake her up the next day.
The pain was just too unbearable for her.
She’d bleed everyday and watch her child leave her body slowly. It was a nightmare, More horrible than the first night she had with Azazel.
Every morning she wakes up, Her bed would be soaked with blood and fluids already.
She’d go to Rita’s room everybody to get checked up.
“Why am I still bleeding?”She asked one particular morning and the woman moved uneasily.
“The herbs aren’t working since we don’t know the reasons why you had an abortion, So, The baby will leave your body in form of blood, Until it leaves, completely”
“I don’t want to bleed anymore”She cried at her and burst into tears immediately.
Rita sobbed and tried hugging her but she pushed her away.
“I don’t want to see the blood leaving my body, It’s horrible, This is pure torture”She sobbed in pains and Rita tried calming her down but she didn’t bulge.
Rita did everything she could do to help Onida gain her normal self back but she failed.
She assumed already that as long as she keeps bleeding, She would never get over it.
Rita will blame herself every night for what happened to Onida.
Azazel has been rejecting her meals lately, She will cry and beg him to open up to him but he will not bulge.
He only opens the door for Adriel and that’s when he has to deliver the scrolls and fast food for him.
Adriel was in a bad shape either, He wasn’t able to check up on Yuna for the past two weeks.
Yuna will work herself to death everyday in the farm so she could finish her normal work portion and help Onida with hers.
She was never used to this horrible lifestyle. Even when she started working with Onida, The latter won’t let her do any hard work.
She will sit under the shade every day, cheering her up.
After a long day on the farm, Yuna returned to the castle and Rita was waiting for her all day.
She called her to her Courtyard and served her dinner but Yuna refused, politely.
“I don’t think I should take this”She pushed it to her legs and the woman sat in front of her immediately.
“Why?, I wanted to cook for you”
“What about Onida? Has she eaten?”She asked and Rita drooped.
“She has been off the grid since morning, But I will serve her once she’s back”She persuaded her and Yuna shook her head slowly.
“Onida barely eat these days, I don’t think I’m in the right position to accept this food, I really appreciate your kind gesture but I can’t eat without Onida, I still have some leftovers in my room, I will leave now”She bowed and stood up and made to leave but Rita held her back.
Yuna was already close to tears at this moment. She wished she could say what is on her mind to her but it would be too rude of her.
She couldn’t help but detest Rita after ignoring them for weeks and started showing them affection now that Onida lost her baby and is barely surviving now.
“I’m sorry, I really apologize”She pleaded and Yuna bowed again before walking out of the room.
•
Onida sat on the grass behind her room and stared at the beautiful stars which seemed bleak to her tonight.
Her throat was dried up and she craved for water but she couldn’t stand up.
She hasn’t eaten for the past two days and despite the fact that she bled heavily, She refused to touch any of her body.
Her lips trembled and she broke into another round of tears.
Adriel who has been looking for her since found her behind her room and took a deep breath before walking to her.
“What are you doing here?”He asked, dropping to a crouch beside him and she shook her head simply before looking back at the sky.
Adriel hates the fact that he pitied her for being in this condition.
He has been keeping close tabs on her for days and indirectly makes the guards run her errands.
Onida will wake up in the morning with her bathroom filled with water and the special bathing soap.
She assumed already that Rita was the one doing it.
“You really need to brace yourself up and continue with your daily life, This won’t solve anything, Onida”He persuaded and tears dripped down her eyes again.
“I can’t help it, My baby is leaving my body every minute. What could be worse than this?”She asked, Her eyes laced with tears again and she blinked rapidly.
“I know this is hard on you, You can’t just forget it easily but stop hurting yourself, You barely eat these days”He coaxed and she wipes her tears carefully.
“What about Master? Is he okay?”She asked after a while and Adriel took a deep breath.
“I can’t answer that, Onida” He muttered simply and she held his hand immediately.
“Please, tell me anything, I just want to know”She persuaded and he nodded again.
“He has been in his room for days, He’s barely hanging on”He answered and she burst into tears again.
“I don’t want him to suffer because of my negligence, He should not worry about the baby”She cried and Adriel sighed softly.
“I don’t know what to do anymore, Honestly, He doesn’t want to see Rita too”
“Take me to him.”
