CHAPTER 4
It was Thursday and the twilight made me feel empty. It's near evening again, the time when people deserve a rest from a tiring day. I hope I can rest as them too without demons playing inside my head. How I wish I could live a normal life like I used before. Every night, I have a fear to remain awake at the middle of the darkness. The silence pushes me to overthink more and more.
I stared on myself in front of full length mirror. Tears started to run on my face as the rape scene appeared in my mind. I punched my head trying to forget it. I feel pity for myself as I am looking at my reflection. My visions travel around the room. This room seems like a room of Barbie doll. But sadly, the doll here is not a Princess but a slave, a slave of her own fear and horrific past.
My life before wasn't comfortable as this. But at least I was not living in fear. I can eat and enjoyed my foods. I can sleep at night in peace and not as this.
"M-Ma." My tears escaped from my eyes like an open faucet. Fears runs on my veins when I heard the word pregnant. My mind is loaded with random thoughts about the possible pregnancy. She walked towards me with a frown face. "Who's the father?" she asked in anger. Her voice almost echoed in the kitchen. "T-Tito Dante, mom," I answered as my tears burst out. I am anxious right now! "Liar! Will you please stop creating stories, Avi? Stop destroying this family. Why would you not just admit that you have a secret boyfriend and you flirt? Then you got pregnant!" "Ma, I don't have a boyfriend. You know that." I cried. "I was not always around. I can't see your actions. Maybe you are doing something behind my back. My goodness, Avi! You are just sixteen years old. Too young to be a mother." Frustration is visible on her face. "I never wanted this." Never! "That is definitely a shame for our fami
Chapter 6"Ma, please don't do this," I begged kneeling in her front."Avi, you're too young. You cannot be a mother at that age. This is for you, okay?" She smiled out of herself.This is not my mom. She's definitely other person possessed by a demon."Mom, look at me! I'm your daughter. Please wake up! You're loving a monster. He should be throw in jail.""No, Avi. We will not do that, okay? You will not do that!" She yelled and looked on the sorroundings like a crazy woman.I tried to escape but I was caught by the demon and took me back to the stock room. They locked me there... hopeless. Sometimes love is not good for a person specially if you become obsess. And that is what my mother experienci
Chapter 7"Drink this, hija." She handed me the sinful drink."I don't want that!" I yelled and averted my gaze."I did not raise a rude daughter, Avi!" Her big hand landed on my left cheek.I looked at her with bravery. "You want to kill me? Okay fine, then do it!""Stop being hard-headed, Avi. That child will only ruin our lives." She looked on the Abortionist emotionless and nodded as sign to continue her job.I shouted and even beg for them to stop. I tried to run away but my strength was not enough against the three people here. Dante was holding both of my hands above my head that preventing me to do any actions. This position is reminding me the rape scene I experienced with the same person. It tortures my mind
Chapter 8 I stared on the City Police Headquarters. Thinking if I will confess or not. My grip on the sling of my shoulder bag tightened when I remembered the rape. I shut my eyes tightly trying to forget that. If I will confess now, I know they will help me. But are they going to believe my testimony? The jeep started to move that made me stop from doing it. I want to confess but fear is hindering me. Wherever I am I always thinks that someone is watching me. One wrong move is equal to death. I arrived late in the first period of my class because of the traffic that I usually experienced every trip. I sat on my chair and put out my pen and notebook. I draw a cyclone repeatedly. I did not stop until the first page broke. The teacher came but I did not mind her. They started to roll call for the attendance but my attention wasn't there. "Ms. Zarme
Chapter 9I’m ready to face my death but someone grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I just found myself seating on the floor. Someone asked me what happened but I did not answer her question, instead I cried not minding the people circling around me. Due to emotional and mental torture I am going through, I passed out. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed of our School Clinic.“Avi, how’s your feeling? Do you need something? Tell me,” Ma’am Dela Cruz asked, worriedly.I looked around and I saw two teachers here, my adviser, Ma’am Dela Cruz and Nurse Sheena, the School nurse of our school.“We tried to call your parents but they are not answering our call. Do you want me to call them a---”“N-No, please, don’t call them.” I cried begging with my trembling lips.
It was passed nine in the evening when I decided to pack my things to go home. Most of the time I spent dinner here in my office. I would rather choose to stay here and study cases. My friend Venus often told me that I am so workaholic. I cannot deny that since my actions are screaming the fact.Well, I just really love my job and I dedicated my whole self for this. I did not study more than ten years in law school just to sit there and wait for the opponent to win the case. I'm competitive in everything. Justice must only serve the truth. And as a lawyer, I will make sure that justice would punish those who deserve.I carried my Louis Vuitton bag and turned off the switch near the doorway before I leave the office. There are only few employees in this firm building during this hours. I entered on the elevator and click the button that would bring me to the first floor. When I stepped outside the building, I can fee
THIS DAY is the day I have been waiting for. I didn't had a good sleep last night thinking about this day. Because today I'm going to meet the family of my client, the Complaints of Dante Solomon Cartiño. I ready myself for this. And I would not let that rapist to have his freedom again. Not this time. After all, this is the reason why I chose to be a lawyer. I invested a lot for this. I studied so hard just to be in this position. Even though some people are telling me that justice is impossible in this country, I didn't listen to them because I do believe that I can get that in my own. I continue to believe on the beauty of my life goals. There is nothing impossible in this world, and no one can pull you down on the ladder if you are doing things with purpose. Especially if you put God in the center of everything. I looked at myself in front of the full length mirror and managed my white collar. Growing up being a lawyer is not on my drea
Chapter 12 "HEY, love. What's wrong?" my friend, Venus, asked when I walked inside her condo. "I met a pervert guy." Her brows furrowed and put down her cup on the coffee table. "What do you mean by pervert? Did he touch you or said something you know?" "He fvcking touched my boobs!" I answered really upset of what happened. "Oh my god. What happened? Why did he do that?" "I was in the coffee shop earlier to buy my coffee then suddenly I tripped. I almost hit my face on the floor but that asshole near me tried to catch me by holding my boobies!" Her lips parted after hearing what I had said. My brows furrowed as I am staring at her when I saw a smile that formed on her lips. "Sorry for this reaction but... What if he was just tr
Chapter 14My mind was occupied when I took a step out of the elevator. I shook my head while walking, trying to forget what he said earlier. He knows nothing about me so who is he to meddle in my life. The dark and empty unit of mine greeted me. Ten years ago, I was really scared of dark places. But now it became my comfort. Since I don't have work today, I decided to clean my unit. I can't do this during weekdays because of my busy schedule. I changed the curtains and the pillow suitcase. I just spent the whole day cleaning and making my house more organize and aesthetic. I demolished those things I don't need because that's only taking up space. THE next day, I went to Mall to buy some groceries. I need to restock again because my fridge and food pantries are nearly empty. This is my favorite part of being independent. Buying everything I want from my own money. This is indeed satisfying. I pushed my cart as I am walking to the toiletries section. "Ugh! Why did
Chapter 13"Have you met before?""Yes, Inspector Finn. He was that pervert guy in the coffee shop.""Woah! Careful with your accusation, Miss.""I'm just telling the truth.""I was just trying to save you.""I think you better talk about that later." The Inspector laughed awkwardly. "We need to talk about the case of Celina here."I sighed and go back to my seat. My brow rose up when he sat in my front. What the fvck! Why is he smiling? I rolled my eyes and averted my gaze, feeling annoyed.We just talked about the current update of the case. Good thing it lasted for less than thirty minutes, I guess. The fvck! We waited for this asshole longer than the discussion. I shook Inspector Finn's hand after the meeting. I looked at the hand in front of me for a moment.My head tilted u
