The Cost of Justice

“My baby, I am sorry you have to go through this. Granny is so sorry for not being able to protect you that night. I am deeply sorry”, granny said to Ellie, who was now seating on her bed. Granny had sat her down on the bed after the Wordsworth left. She commended her for her courage and the strong-will to open up.“It’s okay granny. It’s not your fault. You don’t have to blame yourself for what happened to me. I am fine now”, Ellie said, looking into granny’s eyes, trying to reassure her that she was fine.“I am sorry, Ellie”, granny said again, still blaming herself for what happened to Ellie, while pulling her in for a hug.“I will make sure you get the justice that you deserve. I promise you”, granny said,while patting Ellie’s back. Kevin stood beside them, looking at the love and affection that was being displayed between the duo.

His Dilemma

While on the bus on his way home that night, Kevin kept on thinking about Carlos’ proposal. He was at the rock end as he didn’t know what to do. He felt Ellie was wronged and she deserved justice but at the same time, he also felt that his sister has the right to see the world around her, just like every other person. He looked at the contact card in his hand and clenched his fist. He was frustrated and confused no doubt, and he could only vent his anger on the contact card he was holding in his hand.On getting to his bus-stop, he alighted from the bus and made his way to their neighbor's house, who Carla was staying with.

His Dilemma II

Kevin decided to step into the hospital, pretending as if nothing had happened. On getting to Ellie’s ward, he quietly opened the door and through the small opening, he saw granny and Ellie discussing and giggling at the same time. Ellie seemed to have been getting over her trauma and which gladdened Kevin’s heart to see a smile on her face. When Kevin’s mind trailed back to what he had done early that day before heading to the hospital, his mood changed and he felt some sense of betrayal within him. He couldn’t bring himself to face granny and Ellie and so, he decided to head back home. Just as he was about closing the door, granny who had caught a glimpse of him, called his name, making him halt.“Kevin, aren’t you coming in?”, granny asked, upon seeing him closing the door and which made Ellie aware of his presence. Realizing that he had been caught, he decided to enter the ward to avoid any suspicion.“I was just about to”, Kevin lied, smiling and at the same time, avoiding makin

A Fatal Confrontaton

“What do you mean, granny? What are you thinking about?”, Kevin asked in a shaky voice, realizing he had been caught.“Did you betray Ellie for money?’, granny asked, making Kevin flinch.“What….. what are …… you talking about, granny? Why will you think I did that?”, Kevin asked, stammering.“Because you losing your phone where the evidence against Collins Wordsworth is and Carla getting her surgery all of a sudden doesn’t seem to be coincident. If you think I am wrong, then, explain to me how you got the fund”, granny yelled, being adamant on knowing the truth. When Kevin realized there was no other way to make granny believe his lies and there was no way to change her mind, he decided to open up to her and beg for forgiveness instead.“Granny, can we talk somewhere else? Everyone’s eyes seem to be on us right now. Let’s go to an enclosed area, I promise to tell you everything”, Kevin said, looking around them and which granny’s eyes follow suite. It was then she realized that, peop

A Shift in Shadows

Kevin was so scared on seeing granny in the state she was in. He was confused and scared at the same time. He didn’t know what to do. He decided to help granny and rush her to the emergency ward and just as he moved close to her to lift her up, an evil thought came to his mind.“What if her dying is the only way to keep my secret from getting exposed?”, he had thought, having a change of mind towards saving granny’s life. When he eventually made up his mind, he let go of granny’s hand and rushed to lock the restroom door from behind; to prevent anyone from walking onto the scene. Having done that, he slowly walked back to where granny was lying in the pool of blood and smiled sheepishly. “Ke…..Vin, ple…..ase he…lp”, granny said weakly, when she noticed Kevin wasn’t making any attempt to save her life.“Help you? So, you can send me to prison? No, I am not stupid enough to do that”, Kevin said, laughing hysterically. This laughter of his got granny scared, making her wonder in her

The Unbearable Loss

“What are you talking about?”, Ellie asked, staggering, while getting up from her bed, wondering if she had heard wrong. “I am sorry to say this again, but your granny is dead. Someone found her dead body in the female restroom, some minutes ago”, the nurse said, with empathy and apologetically. “Are you sure of what you are saying? She left here barely an hour ago. So, what are you talking about?”, Ellie queried, still not believing what the nurse had said. Ellie couldn’t believe what she had heard. Kevin, who was already aware of granny being dead, didn’t feel shocked nor sad, but had to pretend as if he was, just to avoid Ellie’s suspicion. “What are you talking about? How can granny be dead?”, Kevin cut in, pretending to be shocked by the news. “I am sorry to break the news to you but that is the pure truth. You can follow me downstairs to confirm her body”, the nurse said. Upon hearing this, Ellie collapsed on the floor. Kevin moved to her where she was sitting on the floo

The Aftermath of Loss

Life without granny was just as Ellie had expected. After granny’s burial, Ellie was discharged from the hospital and so also, Carla. Although she was not in her right state of mind due to granny’s death, she was so happy to know that Carla could see again. Kevin had lied to her that the fund for Carla’s surgery was paid by granny before her death. Ellie wondered at first, how granny could have gotten such a large amount of money, but she later concluded that, it was the money gotten from the sale of her late son’s apartment. Both Carla and Kevin moved on with their daily life activity, while Ellie kept herself locked up in the house, still finding it difficult that her family was truly gone. She became a shadow of herself, and she could barely smile. Carla and Kevin tried to gear her up and encouraged her to move on, but all their efforts seemed to prove abortive. She wouldn’t eat and was forced countless of times to. She became so lean and looked wretched. She didn’t even had time

Her Collapsed World

“Which baby is growing inside of me? What are you talking about, doctor?”, Ellie asked, with a shaky voice, not wanting to believe what the doctor had said, although, it was the reality. Noticing how tensed the situation was and Ellie was about creating a scene, Kevin intervened. “Don’t worry, doctor. I will explain everything to her. Ellie, be calm. We will sort this out. I promise”, Kevin said, trying to calm Ellie down and assured her. When the doctor and the nurses finally left, Kevin had sat Ellie down. He explained to her what the doctor had told him, right in the presence of Carla. Carla, who had no idea of this before, was shocked and felt pity for Ellie. Ellie, upon listening to Kevin attentively and hearing all what he had said, didn’t know how to react at first. She just sat still, looking into the space, as if she was trying to process what she had heard. When the reality sank in, all she could do was to laugh like a crazy woman. “You are joking right?”, Ellie asked, l
