"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

The driver parked the car inline with few different cars at the court park. I stretched my neck out to the glass as if I won't be coming down from the car.The lawyers already in their uniform with black files in their hand chat with each other. I could only saw their moving lips and the small of their teeth.Few people made their way to the court room. A black van came to existence at the moment. Two police officers jumped down from the back of the van with their long guns. An officer dragged down an head down guy in handcuffs. He raised his head up, it was Kelvin. He had so much bruises and marks on his face. He must have received much beatings from the cops.They caught the lawyers attentions as they both passed beside them. The lawyers shook each other hands and moved inside. Another was dragged down from the same van. My heart skipped at the sight of Brad. My eyes suddenly painted with pains and sorrows.

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?"

"Lina! It is Lina Ai.""Come on, come on!" I watched as the warder dragged him out of my sight.I wasn't sure if I heard him right. I just heard he called out a best friend name? No! This can't be. It can't be Lina.Lina could never had done this. I muttered on my way out of the room, then breeze suddenly blew over me. I walked out numbly to see Brad's mother waited up for me outside, a bit away from the entrance."My dear, is –"I placed my head on her shoulder as I burst out into long tears. I cried, didn't care about the passers by, didn't care about the shoulder I leaned on. I couldn't hide my pains under my strong heart anymore. I wanna cry it all out and I did. She must have hesitated to wrapped her hand over me as she later did after a long time. That even made my tears even heavier."What have I done to deserve this?" I whimpered as she patted me on the back.

"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

He held the little wooden door of the witness box."Yes," the doctor faced the judge. "She was brought to the hospital unconsciousness because of the sleeping pills he must have injected in her. She was really breathing fine but her mind was damaged, affected by the same strong pills.""What was the side effect of the sleeping pills on her body?""It is making her suffer from hallucinations."Tears flipped down my cheek at the sound of that."Hallucination?""Yes.

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?"

Eagerness was written on everyone's face. The sound of their resit on the chair enveloped the court room. Lina never stopped crying. Not even a single tears on Kelvin's eye. I couldn't see Brad's face as his eyes was on his toe."My son doesn't deserve all this. This girl has been after him since the beginning of his life. He said he didn't do it." Kelvin's mother voice took over the silence.When would this drama stop, and the judgment should be pass already."Hey! Woman!" The officers moved down to her.

I demonstrated with my hand like he knew not what that meant.Brad moved forward with his dad reluctantly."After everything he did to our family. I almost lost Arnold because of his wicked act. I almost lost my own life. You wouldn't have been here if not for God Ai because both of us would have been dead by now all because of him. So what is he doing here? Why are you here?"

I staggered down to the living room in aimed to go into my room as I was saved by my dad from falling. I looked into his eyes and tears escaped from my eyes."Are you okay love?

Dad moved out of his room as I was about walking out of the house to school. Our eyes on each other. His sympathy gaze caught my attention, calling for forgiveness. I still can't help to think of it, that my dad was actually responsible for my mum misfortune."Hi love!"I nodded my head and stared at him with strong gaze. "I wouldn't want to be late for school dad. See you later.""I know my Ai didn't care if she got late to school or not. She just wanna avoid her irresponsible father."The word struck my hearts. My father was never irresponsible in his duties as a father.

I and my family having dinner at the dining table as my mind trailed off to the conversation I had with Brad.How can he expect me to fix his broken hearts while I have mine too?It was so much to ask for."Is this about Lina or your neurologist?" Mum brought me back to life."Huhn!""You have been toying with your food since. Why aren't you eating?" Mum said in a mouthful food.I looked down at the rice and plantain that was dished in front of me."What happened dear? Are you okay?" Dad gained my attention to him."Do you have your past too dad?

"My child, go meet Brad in his room." She said in a more requested tone, with a slight must do voice."But –""There is something between he and his father that haven't been sorted out up until now. I don't want him to have such feelings of sadness about his father anymore." She had my hand on hers with her eyes fixed on it."Okay, I will go ma'am." I smiled in a tight lips then she did the same with a small of her teeth exposed out.I watched my steps carefully as I moved up the stairs like they told me not to put my foot on ground.
