The lady accepted that with a smile. "Thank you very much for this. Thank you also for thinking of visiting my daughter."I smiled at her. "It's nothing."Suddenly we heard laughter. "Mary is with her dad right now. My husband must have made his cringe joke again so she is laughing. Come on," said the lady.I followed her.We saw Mary talking happily with a man who I think was only a few years older than me. Mary was sitting on her hospital bed and the man was sitting on the chair next to the bed.They turned to me at the same time when they noticed us."Miss Fatima," Mary hapoily exclaimed my name."Hon, this is Fatima, our daughter's friend," said the lady to her husband.The man smiled at me. "Hi, nice to meet you.""I'm also happy to meet you, sir," I said."You have a friend, princess. Why didn't you tell me about it?" Mary's father asked her with a sneer."Daddy, I've already told you about her you doesn't remember," Mary answered then laughed softly."Hon, come first. Let's lea
I didn't answer him and just remained silent. Until the car stopped in front of a big house that I think has three floors.I turned to him. "Is this your house?"He smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it is really big, but I live alone," he answered as he got out of the car. I also opened the door and got out of the car. "Follow me. Let's get inside," he said and started walking towards the big door of the house.I just followed behind him.When he opened the door and we got inside, we were greeted by the vintage theme inside.The furniture there is obviously old-fashioned or an antique, such as a brown rocking chair. There are old photos of the Beatles and Michael Jackson hanging on the wall near the door. There are also old types of musical instruments displayed around.His wide living room like a museum."You just like to collect old things," I said."Some of them were personally purchased by me at auctions and the others was given to me by my parents and grandparents. My family are antique
I took my cup again. It wasn't very hot but I drank it anyway.When I didn't say anything anymore, Doc Nicco averted his gaze to the sky."One day, you'll become one of those shining stars, giving life and peacefulness to the beautiful and dark sky. And, I will always look above just to remember you and your stories," he softly said."And, I will always look down just to see you. I won't also forget you. Thank you for listening to my dramatic life," I let out a sigh. "When it rained drama, I was outside, dancing," I laughed softly.Doc Nicco also laughed softly. "We all have our dramatic moments in our lives. But, you are pretty good at handling them. You are strong mentally, emotionally and physically," he said. We became silent afterwards. Until a few minutes later. "Would you let me tell your story to the world?"I turned my gaze to him. "And, how are you going to do that?""I was a former president of a journalism team way back in college. Ever since, I have become into different
I hope you regret even once in your life about not standing up as Fatima's mother."It was true. But not in what people interpreted the story that they heard. It was all just speculations that ended up in a false and untrue story. It was a false conclusion. None of those people who judged her before know what exactly happened. That man is a pervert motherf*cker! He took advantage of their innocence," I am no longer talking like a professional person. "He r*ped them. But what he did to Fatima was worse. He even impregnated her and Fatima didn't have a choice but to abort the child. She was lost and all so that was the only option she saw," aunt listens quietly. I see a strange expression in her eyes that I have never seen before. It was like a mixture of pity, anger and pain. "That man has a lot of child p*rnography tapes and most of them, Fatima was present. Fatima said that that man hid the tapes in your sister's old house. We tried to get them but we couldn't go to that place becaus
Thur suddenly came out of the veranda. He is also wearing clothes. He stood next to me.I ignored him and just focused my attention on the dark sky.Before, whenever Fatima and I were together, there were always twinkling stars above but now, the sky is always full of dark clouds."They already left. Why do you seem so angry?" Thur asked."None of your business," I coldly responded."Wow! You used to tell me everything going on in your big head because you said I'm your best friend, but now, it's none of my business.""You're so noisy.""I'm sorry then," he sarcastically said. "Now go to sleep. Don't think too much about that girl. There are many girls around. You won't be running out," he said before going back inside.There are many women but she is different from them.I don't think I could still find someone like her. Someone like her that makes me feel the odds.My mind says that she's different from them. There is no one like her. She is different in my eyes.Fatima, what did yo
I have one more thing to say. I didn't tell you before because I wasn't sure about many things and I was scared. I look really brave but I'm honestly a coward. But now, I'm sure. I'm sure I love you. Vish, I love you. And I won't get tired of saying that over and over again. I won't ask for your love anymore. I know you can't give that. I'm fine with you knowing that I love you. Please don't change. I hope you continue to be a gentleman every day. I love you very much and will remain so until I am gone from here, in this chaotic and complicated world. My heart only belongs to you. If I suddenly disappear, I will definitely find a way to get back. I will find a way even if it's impossible to be with you again. And I promise that the second time I am given, I will fight for you and I will be braver and stronger. But in case I can't come back, I'll be on the other side, waiting for you, even if you take a long time. Congratulations again. I hope you will be happy throughout your marriage
I can hear uncle's loud grunts in the video being played.Suddenly, he opened the woman's thighs wide and then took off all her body coverings.Then he started raping the dead body.I almost vomited from what I was seeing so I chose to look away from them then closed my eyes.I couldn't stop crying while shaking my head to try to clear my mind of what was happening around me.I can't do it anymore. I want to leave and go home. But I couldn't do anything but cry non-stop.I could only hear my loud grunts and cries.Lord, please! Get me out of here! Help me, please! I'm begging you! I'm about to disappear from this world and I still have to go through this! I want to die peacefully. I don't want to die while feeling so traumatized! Please, that's it! I don't want to! Help me! Ev, Fritz, Vish, Liah, Ellen, please help me! Get me out of this place!I feel the rope used to tie my hands.Then I used the sharp object in my hand. I scraped it off the string. I'm desperate to get out of this p
Tears suddenly fell down my cheeks. I am worried and afraid. My hands were also shaking, but I composed myself and remained calm while silently praying that she would not suddenly disappear.I received her message earlier. I knew it was her. She loves me and I felt the same. We were both unsure and confused. But, just like her, I am now convinced that I love her.Her message sounds like a farewell letter. I didn't know that this might be the day she was talking about.Please, no. Not now. I don't want to lose her. Please, God, no.I am not a religious person, but please, hear me. God, please, don'tmake her leave me alone.My tears just fell one after the other. I could hardly see what I was passing.I wiped my eyes then kept following Fatima's family.The sky is slowly getting darker and darker.Until we got to the hospital. I still followed them until I got inside.The nurse directed us to the desk in the emergency room so we headed there.We caught up with Mr. Robles standing in fro
