I couldn't let go of the memory of Ai's reaction at the hospital. The hallucinations, the anger that boiled in her. What would be her judgement towards the kidnapper?My mind couldn't stop to picture the smile on Lina's face earlier. I placed my elbow on the wooden table in front of me and palmed my cuffed hand on my face.I was abandoned in a dark room after our arrival to the police station. Different thoughts on my mind since I arrived here. How will I proof myself to them? How will I revealed the real culprit without an evidence? What kind of help can I offer to Ai in this stage of her life? Will she ever be happy again? Will she ever forgive guys for one guy mistake?The door creaked open, brought me back to life. A figure walked down to me then the light switched on suddenly. It was a curved sexy officer in a trouser and a chiffon carton colour shirt. She plopped down on the sit before me and we both maintained an ey

             A I' s P O V."Hi dad! You are back." I walked straight to dad as he made his way to the dining table."Yes my love," we embraced each other. "How are you doing?""I am good." I dropped myself on the sit before mum, then I noticed her eyes was on me."Hi love!" Dad crushed his lips on hers, then sat close to her."How are you doing Ai?" She asked.I cleared my throat and exposed the meal in front of me, ignored her."What is going on here?"Dad must have noticed the distance between I and mum. Especially how this changed mum's mood."Nothing dad. The food looks delicious, we should eat." I gave a fake smile then plucked a spoon of rice into my mouth."Baby, are you sure everything is fine?" He turned to mum. She smiled along side the

It was early in the morning after my usual nightmare. The nightmare never let me be even during the whole days I spent in that unknown place. I jogged down our estate with my earphones plugged in my ear listening to music. I guessed it was high time I let this out. It could be connected to mum's past one way or the other.A woman jogged down to me as I  panted, halted to change the music that suddenly got boring. Brad's mum!"Can I get your attention for a moment?" She gasped out heavily as the sweat on her forehead slipped down her cheek."If it is all about your son, then I am sorry." I took a step to continue my exercise when she said;"My son did everything in his power to get you out of there and all you did is to find him guilty of the crime he knows nothing about?"I stood there for some seconds before I turned to her."What do you want me to do? To set him free?"

"We must have committed a grave sin girl."I removed my palm from my face. Akila leaned on a shelf as she focused her gaze on me. She moved closer after few seconds and settled beside me."I wished I will be the one in this position instead of you. I mean, I won't mind it. I might have deserves that, but you don't. Seeing you this way hurt a lot. Do you mind sharing your thought to me love?" We fixed our eyes on each other. I looked away later."I just wanna be alone.""I am glad you know me so well by now. Did you think I will let you be?" She turned her whole body to me and flung down my hand from the table. "I won't let you be until you share whatever is bothering you to me."I remained silent as if I wasn't the one she was talking to."I am more stubborn just as you are. And do you know what? Ai, did you even know how much I missed you?" She glared at me and continued

"She –""You must be insane. I didn't do it. Believe me, he is telling lies." Lina cut Kelvin off shortly as the tears trickled down her eyes."There will be a short break. We will all come back in after 20 minutes of break." The judge announced as he banged the big wooden."Could Brad information be wrong? What if she didn't –""Akila," I looked towards Lina's direction. She placed her head on the wooden door. I was sure she was shedding tears right there. I turned back to Akila, placed my palm on her cheek as I smiled. "Do not trust that tears. That tears can kill us girl.""Ahh!" She gasped."Confused again?" I nodded my head a little."She would have gave in since if she was the one. Don't you think?" She whispered to make sure I was the only one that heard that."Let me talk to the lawyer. I will be right back." I made to
