Amira's Point Of View
"Who are you?! What do you need from me?!” I screamed as he made me kneel in front of him again.He laughed devilishly then grabbed my hair. “You're good at lying. I just want you to suffer because of what you did to my brother. Fair enough, isn't it?” He said while smiling but his eyes showed anger and sadness.He let go of my hair but I screamed even more when he punched me again in my stomach. I couldn't do anything other than to feel the pain caused by his punch. I feel like I'm going to pass out at any moment because of the pain that I feel."I am Ezra. I can bury you alive 'til you rot in hell, Imelda Vasquez.” He then left the room.It was hard but I tried to get up to bang on the door and scream, begging him to listen to me. "Ezra! I'm begging you, please! Y-you're wrong! I'm not Imelda!” I shouted while crying even though it was hard for me to speak because my throat hurts.But no matter how I shouted, he didn't listen to me. He was never open to my explanations.I must have looked just like the person he thought I was. How can I prove to him that I am not the Imelda Vasquez that he thinks I am?Day passed that even I, myself don't know how many days I have been imprisoned here. I was able to leave the room freely because he knew that I would not be able to escape with the many locks on the door.“Imelda!” He shouted causing me to panic.I nervously backed away because of the nervousness he caused me. When I finally saw him, there was anger in his eyes.He immediately went closer to me and aggressively kissed me on my lips down to my neck. I tried to push him many times but I didn't succeed. I couldn't do anything but cry because of fear and anger.He touched my breast and aggressively pinched my nipple that made me shout in pain. Ezra tore my pajama as well as my underwear and in just a second, he inserted his m*nhood inside mine. I can't help but to cry. This is my first time!I screamed full of anger and tears until he got tired of what he was doing to me. Although I was feeling weak, I forced myself to go to the very end of the bed."When have you been congested? You're so fvckin' tight, Imelda.” She was smiling while getting dressed.I mustered up the courage to speak, “I-I'm not Imelda. I am Amira Lopez. Not Imelda Vasquez. So please! Let me go! Have mercy on me, please!” I pleaded.I saw the discombobulation in his eyes. His eyebrows are furrowed while his lips are twitching. He hurriedly got dressed and slammed the door shut.I feel the pain in the middle part of my wom*nhood. I feel like a very dirty person because of what he did to me. I couldn't imagine that this would happen to me.I DON'T know how many days, weeks, or maybe months I've been here. I heard someone knock on the door that made me afraid.I slowly retreated to the farthest part of the bed and I cried in shock when I saw that another man was spit out by the door."Amira Lopez. Mr. Ezra is now letting you go. I'm apologizing on behalf of Mr. Ezra for the inconvenience that he has done with you. Here's the cheque for you to start your life," the stranger said.I want to slap him and yell at him but I don't have the strength to do that right now. The wounds and bruises on my body have healed because it has been a long time since Ezra hurt me.I silently followed the man that I think would take me away from this place. He gave me a blindfold that's why I immediately used it and I started to cry when I finally realized that I will not see Ezra—the monster anymore. He can't hurt me and use me anymore.I heard the sound of the helicopter where I think will be the used for us to leave this place. The stranget gave me permission to remove my blindfold and helped me get into the helicopter.Time passed before we got off the helipad. We are in the city. I walked down to the helicopter crying and was about to get off but the man who brought me to the city suddenly spoke."Ms. Lopez. We're really sorry," he said."It's already done, is there anything else I can do?" I sarcastically said and went out of a building.When I got off, I immediately went to the bank to exchange the cheque that the man gave me for me to start my life.I bought a house and built my own business which is the source of my daily expenses. Months have passed and I still can't forget what that monster did to me. Even in my dreams I can still see his face clearly full of anger.I decided to go to the hospital for a check up because I often feel dizzy and I don't feel that good. I've been feeling so bad for a few days that I'm afraid I might be sick.I immediately entered the Doctor's room and there he talked to me and checked me up. I don't know what happened but I saw my Doctor staring at me with a wide smile."I have a good news for you, Ms. Lopez," the Doctor said while smiling.I frowned as I looked at her. In an instant, I seemed to have an idea why she was giving me this look. I'm just waiting for it to come out of her mouth so I can confirm if what I'm thinking is right.I swallowed hard and decided to get the courage to speak, "What is it, Doc?" I asked nervously."You're pregnant, Ms. Lopez," she said and congratulated me.My tears flowed and I seemed to stiffen in my seat. It can't be! I can't accept the child inside my womb."Thank you," I thanked her and hurriedly left my seat.This is the result of what that monster did to me! I can't accept this child.to be continued...Amira's Point Of View"Wake up, sleepy head." I uttered then kissed Nala on her forehead.Six years, it's been six years since 'that thing' happened to me. I have to admit, I still haven't forgotten the bad things that he did to me. I thought that I wouldn't want Nala to live, but when I gave birth to her, everything changed. When I heard her cry and held her, it seemed that all my anger, problems and fears disappeared.I smiled when I saw her slowly open her eyes. "Good Morning, Mom," she greeted while smiling then sat on the bed and hugged me tightly.I also hugged Nala back then invited her to come to our small kitchen to eat."I'm sorry, baby. This are the only foods that Mom can give you for your breakfast," I said with a forced smile regarding to the egg and hotdog on the dining table.My employee took all my savings away and ran with tons of money last month. I tried to look for him but no matter what I did I couldn't find him. Right now, I work as a Janitress in a company so t
Amira's Point Of ViewI BELIEVE that it is better to give love than hatred. Someone once told me that if you have anger in your heart, you're just like a murderer. You will never sleep peacefully at night and most of all, it will be emotionally heavy for you. Well, aside from that, it's not because you've forgiven the person who did something bad to you means you can forget the things that they did. All I know and believe is that when you get rid of the anger in your heart, it doesn't immediately mean that you have forgotten your trauma. Because sometimes, that trauma gives you a reason to learn. Like, you know your next step once you're in that situation again.When I finished fixing the trolley, I immediately went around and cleaned the floor and segregated the garbage. This is what I often do. It's time consuming but it's worth it when you get the salary. Especially when I eat my daughter on her favorite fast food restaurant.Everytime I get my salary I take her there and let her
Amira's Point Of View "Mommy!" Nala shouted when I got to Eryl's house. Nala was currently playing in Eryl's fence while Eryl is busy grilling the dish. I greeted Nala's tight hug with a smile. "I missed you, Mama," she said softly. I smiled widelyy because of what Nala said. Nala is sweet a and a very kind child. She's the type of person that would be nice to have as a friend or relative because as long as she can understand, love, and forgive, she will definitely do it. In fact, I see myself in her, something that scares me. It is scary because she can also be abused and exploited. "We've only been apart for a few hours, huh?" I smiled then kissed her on her cheek before I walked closer to Eryl. "Hello, Amira! How's work?" Eryl said with a smile as she fanned what she was grilling to make the flame stronger. I smiled and immediately told her what happened to me at work. Eryl is like my best friend. I am very thankful to the Lord because He gave me a friend like her. I stoppe
Amira's Point Of View "What are you going to do with your salary, Amira? It feels so good! Our salary increased!" Maribel said—my co-worker. "I'm paying the bills at home and then the other expenses. Yes, the new CEO of the company is kind," I said with a smile. Maybe our new Boss is generous and kind that's why he gave us such a big salary. I can't help but admire him because of his kindness even though I haven't seen him or talked to him. "Oh! So, you can't join us later?" Maribel is frowning while asking me. "If the place you're going to has expenses, I might not be able to go with you. I still have many things to pay as of now," I uttered and tried to smile. That's true. I might not be able to buy Nala her favorite food because the money that I got is only enough for my bills. Nala is an understanding child so I have confidence in her that she will understand our situation now. "Oh, Amira! Leave some money for yourself too." Trina said, another co-worker of mine, whil
Amira's Point Of View "Ez. I am Ez," the man said after he cleared his throat. I was horrified by the voice of Ezekiah's brother—something that made me frown. Different, I have a different feeling in that voice which I think is familiar to me. "H-have we met before?" I uttered. There was silence between the three of us. I was about to speak again when Ezekiah's brother suddenly spoke. "No, we haven't." He seriously said. "Is that so? Your voice sounds familiar," I said. Ezekiah spoke again and told many things about her family and life. Her older brother have died because of a car accident while his Mommy and Daddy are in another country busy with their company. Ezekiah asked me where my house at. At first, I was going to just get off at the tricycle terminal but she insisted on taking me to my house. Eryl texted me that she and Nala were at home because Nala was thinking about her cat, Bujiji. "Thank you very much, Ezekiah." I uttered. "The rain has stopped, do you want to
Amira's Point Of View I Woke up at half past one in the morning because of the cold. It was so cold that I felt like I was lying on ice. I immediately covered myself with a blanket but I was still shivering from even though my whole body was wrapped in the blanket. "Mom? Are you okay?" I didn't notice that I woke up Nala. I immediately looked at her and smiled widely so that she wouldn't notice me shiver but I didn't win. She touched my forehead and immediately removed her hand. "Mom, you're so hot!" She nervously said. I spoke and showed that I was fine to stop the nervousness she was feeling. "Baby, Mom is fine, okay? I'm fine because it's just a fever. We'll call Teacher Eryl later so you won't get infected." I uttered. Time passed before Eryl arrived. She still has class that's why she arrived late. I feel sorry for Nala because she hasn't eaten yet and I'm worried because of that. "Ez told you to change your clothes but you didn't listen. Who will watch over you if you
Amira's Point Of View "Mom, it's so beautiful here!" Nala excitedly said, causing me to force a smile on my face. When we finally entered the house—mansion of Ezra's parents, Ezekiah immediately greeted us. I frowned as I remembered the man who was with Ezekiah at our house the other night. That's why the voice and volume of that man are familiar because Ezra and Ez are the same. "Hello, Amira!" Ezekiah said causing me to smile and tearfully hug her. I am afraid not only for myself, but also for my daughter. Maybe Ezra's family doesn't know what he did to me back then. His family is kind and welcoming, which made me think that they might already know the situation, that Ezra and I have a child. "Aunt Ezekiah!" Nala shouted. "Hello there, baby! Do you want me to tour you around?" Ezekiah spoke with a smile. "Yes!!" Nala first waved to her Grandparents then immediately joined Ezekiah. "G-good day," I said nervously. Ezra's parents smiled and immediately invited me to their di
Amira's Point Of ViewTHE NEXT MORNING I woke up when I felt something heavy on my hip causing me to quickly look to see what it was."What did you do to me?!" I shouted then crossed my arms over my chest when I saw Ezrael hugging me on my hips a few seconds ago.I immediately pushed him and moved away from him causing him to moan in pain."Why did you push me away? Argh!" He groaned while rubbing his butt."Oh! I-I'm sorry!" I said then helped him stand up.He immediately took my hand then I slowly lifted him to stand."You're so mean, tsk!" He uttered then gently flicked his finger on my forehead."I will repeat my question. What did you do to me?!" I asked once again. Ezra chuckled then licked his lower lip before he spoke, "I didn't do anything to you. Believe it or not, you're not my type," he said and grinned then left me dumbfounded.Hah! If I'm not his type, he's even not my type! How dare him say that?! I wonder if he did the same thing he did to me with other women before,
