Chapter 5
SHAIRA'S POV
"Ma'am!! Ma'am shaira!" I woke up because someone called me outside my room. He sat on the bed and talked.
"I'm just going down!" I said and I didn't hear an answer so I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. I immediately went to the mirror and looked at myself. My eyes were closed, it was obvious that I cried. I just shook my head before taking off my clothes and looking in the mirror again. I took a good look at my body and I felt tears welling up in my eyes as I looked at the h*cky left on my body made by the demon of the village man.
I quickly came to the shower and opened it. I rubbed my body trying to get rid of the h*cky on my body but I got frustrated and threw the soap I was holding because I couldn't get it off.
"why don't want to remove hiccup" I shouted while still crying. I just sat on the tiles while still crying.
"I don't want it anymore hiccup I don't want it anymore!" I kept crying.
I sat there for a few minutes while crying. But it didn't take long for me to stop crying. I calmed myself down for a while and took a shower. After I finished taking a shower, I got dressed and left the room. I got down and went to the dining hall. I caught up with mom and dad there but shaina wasn't there.
'We're better off'
I sat down and took my food. I ate because I was very hungry.
We were in the middle of eating when dad spoke.
"Where did you stay?" Dad asked.
"Ki-kila bea po" I said.
'Sorry bea but I'll use you first as an excuse'
Dad didn't ask again so we were able to eat well. After eating I was about to go upstairs when I remembered something.
"mom, dad........" I said so they turned to me "Can I ask a favor?" I will ask.
"What's a favor? Just say it, maybe we can do it your daddy's way" said mommy.
"I want to go in France mom" I answered directly. The surrounding suddenly became silent because of what I said, but soon dad spoke.
"Why?" Dad asked.
"This is the only way I can see so you can move on" I stammered and my father seemed to think about what I said and nodded his head.
"Is this what you really want?" Dad asked and I immediately nodded.
"Yes" I said. Dad looked at mommy first and mommy just nodded.
"Ok..... then I will call your grandmother....... you will stay with her and you will continue to look for a job" said dad and mommy and I left here.
"Sure you're here son?" Mom asked me. I nodded and smiled.
"Yes, I'm sure....... don't worry mom, I can take care of myself" I told her. He looks convinced.
"If that can ease your heart then do it..... as long as it's child I'm always here ok. You can always tell me everything I'll listen" said mom.
"Thank you for understanding mommy...... I'm going to go to the room to fix things" I said. Mom just nodded to me.
I left there and went to my room. I took my suitcase and put the things I needed there and when I was done I sat on the bed and took my phone from the side table. When I opened it, there were many chats that opened up to me, but the most numerous was Kay's. I opened our chat box and read his massages.
From hon:
Hon sorry to go home
From hon:
We are worried here, please come back
From hon:
Please Shaira come back, I'm really worried
I just laughed out loud while reading his message.
'Is he worried about me? Wow big word!!'
I just turned off my phone again and put it on the side table and went to bed. It's tiring to read all his nonsense..
I was dumbfounded for a few minutes until I was overtaken by sleepiness.
Tomorrow
I woke up to a loud knock on my door. He didn't want to pay attention to that but it got stronger.
Annoyed, I got up from the bed and opened the door. Bea's face appeared to me.
"Why are you bubbling huh Beatrice?!" I asked annoyed but instead of answering me, he just frowned and raised the plastic he was holding.
"What is that?" I asked again.
"Alcohol! Isn't it obvious tss" he said and went straight into my room.
"Why are you carrying something like that?! You know you can't bring alcohol into my room! Besides, the guard let you in" I said one after the other.
"You talk a lot girl! Can't you just say thank you because I'll sympathize with you" he said sarcastically.
"Where is it huh?" I asked again.
"You're broken, aren't you? It's annoying. I'm your best friend but I didn't know that you were stupid in that village!!" He said loudly that I was stunned.
'I didn't tell him!! But he's the one I made excuses for mommy'
I just took a breath before sitting down and took out the wine he was carrying.
"Let's drink" I said and opened a bottle and drank it.
"Hey Why did you call me an addict?!" Bea said and grabbed the wine.
"They said to drink it...... I just drank it!" I'm the reason why he grimaced.
"Yes, we will drink. But I didn't tell you to eat you bastard" he said and put down the bite.
"I'm going to get a glass from your chin, wait here..... don't knock it!! You're right here with me!" Threatened and came out. I just shook my head and stood up. I went to the cr and washed my face. When I finished I went out. Bea didn't have anything so she fixed my bed first.
While I was cleaning, I noticed something on my study table. I went there and took the tulips?
'Where are you from?'
There was also a letter on the table so I took it and read it.
'You look so beautiful while sleeping Mikaella'
I suddenly let go of the envelope and the flower when I read what was written there. I got nervous and looked around until my eyes landed on my veranda. I quickly approached it and was depressed to see it open.
'I closed last night!!'
I was so nervous that I quickly closed the veranda and came to the letter and flowers. I picked it up and tore the paper and destroyed the flower.
I just sat on the bed while thinking about who entered my room.
"Oh what happened?" I looked at the door when someone spoke there. I quickly approached Bea and hugged her. There were tears in my eyes.
"Bea I'm scared" I cried to her.
"Shh hold on" when he consoled me.
I'm already sitting here on the bed and Bea also made me drink water.
"Tell me shaira..... what happened?" He asked and my tears fell again.
"Bea!! hiccup bea it's dirt dirt!" I said crying but he just looked at me confused.
"What the hell? What really happened huh? Tell me everything!!" He told me authoritatively and I shook.
"My dirt is dirty hic bea!!" I was like a child reporting to him.
"I don't understand shaira!! I don't understand you!" He said as if he was annoyed.
"R*pe me bea!!" I shouted and he stopped at what I said
"R*pe me,re*pe!! My dirt is disgusting, bea sob hiccup the dirt–" I couldn't finish what I was going to say as he hugged me causing me to cry even more.
"You're not dirty hic no shaira no" when he consoled me while I was still crying.
'I'm so disgusting!!
Bea held me for a few minutes before finally smacking me.
We are sitting here on my bed.
"Do they know this aunt?" I looked at Bea when he asked that. I immediately shook his head. He took a breath before speaking again.
"They need to know," he said, making me nervous right away.
"Hi can't!!" I immediately objected.
"Huh? What can't be done?! They need to know, shaira! Your damn village man needs to go to jail!! He needs to pay for what he did to my friend!" He yelled at me in disgust.
"I can't bea!!" I screamed too.
"What are you talking about?! Don't you want that animal to go to jail?!" He was annoyed by the question.
"I want it!! I want it bea!. I want the village animal to rot in jail! I want him dead!! I really want it bea!" I cried and shouted at him.
"That's right!! Why don't you want them to know aunty?!" He asked again.
"Because mommy might have a heart attack!! Maybe she won't be able to handle it bea!! I don't want to hurt mommy because of my sex! I don't want to" I said page by page. Bea seemed to think about what I said.
"So please bea, please!! Don't tell mom or dad! Please let's keep it a secret" I begged ParAng who hesitated but nodded.
"Yes. I won't tell them, but Shaira, I'll have them look for that hay*p, do you understand?" He decided to tell me that I just asked.
"Ok. Now tell me what you remember about that man? Did you see his face? That place!! Where did he filter?" His next question.
"I didn't see his face...... he was wearing a mask. but I remember the place. It was an abandoned village far away from here" I said and he nodded and let out another breath.
"With so many abandoned places here. It will be difficult for us to find shaira!!" He said as if frustrated.
"It's even if you can't find it...... I don't want to see that place" I said.
"Fine!! He won't look for her" he said and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"But. Now what are you going to do?" He asked.
"I'm leaving.... I'm leaving here in the Philippines. I want to forget everything. Everything sob I want to remove from my mind everything that happened and start over" I answered and he nodded.
"That's a good decision...... I'll support you" he said making me smile and hug him.
"Thank you Beatrice, thank you so much" I said.
"That's nothing. What's your best friend if I'm not going to support you. Just remember I'm here on your side" he said causing me to smile even more.
Even though my boyfriend and brother looked down on me. My friend is here and I know he won't leave me and that's enough for me.
It was late at night and Bea came home because her dad called earlier because it was an emergency. Mom and I are here now in the dining room. We are eating dinner.
We were in the middle of eating when dad said something.
"I already talked to your grandmother. she agreed to stay there" dad said and I just nodded at him and didn't say a word.
"I've already booked your flight there. You're leaving this week" added dad and I still nodded.
"Doesn't it seem fast if it's Saturday?" mommy asked with her sad voice. Dad and I both looked at him and dad answered.
"That's better than taking a long time to make a decision here, it's just going to hurt more" dad replied as if he caressed my heart when I heard that. Somehow I feel relieved.
"Ok I won't whine.. if this is really good for our son then its ok to me" mommy said and when it was over nobody said a word and we just ate.
After I finished eating, I went to the room and showered for a while and after I finished showering, I went to my bed and lay down. I was on the phone for a while then decided to sleep. I put the phone on the side table then I was about to turn off the light when I saw a tulips with a letter again!!
I quickly sat down and read that letter.
'Your really beautiful my mikaella'
I feel like I got a cold while reading that. I quickly tore it and threw it where the flower was and it was already lying down. I hooded and felt my surroundings. There were tears in my eyes because I was so nervous. I couldn't sleep because of that and I was in a daze all night.
