4 years ago….(Los Angeles – pacoima)

(Daughter crying)

“ I have warned you never to leave this house without my permission”.Scott said furiously beating up his wife maira in the presence of their daughter Clara.

“This is the last warning,dare me again and have your head fed to the dogs”.Scott left jamming the door with force.

“Mummy are you okay”.Clara,their only daughter sobbing.

“It okay child”.Maria hugged Clara, crying.

Mr Scott was a taxi driver around the city, and his wife maira was an house keeper (part–time job). Clara was just 13yrs old, she always witnessed her mom got beaten up by her father.

On a rainy night (10:45pm),Mr Scott who had a very bad temper, lost it on a mere argument with his wife maira.He smashed her head on the wall,she bread to death.

Mr Scott never knew Clara saw him kill her mother in cold blood she tried as much as she could, to pretend she saw nothing, in fear of her getting killed just like her mom. He didn't give her a proper burial ceremony,he took her out that night, buried her in a creepy bush, around their neighborhood. He came back to the house saw Clara standing in tears and in shock, looking so traumatized and sweating.

“Clara why are you up?.he asked

“I want water.she answered coldly looking into his eye balls.

“Go upstairs,I will get you a glass. “No I want it now, and where's mom?.

“Hmm.. your mother went for a business trip.

“Trip? But my mum isn't a business woman.

‘I know but she got a new job. He said pouring her a glass of water.

“Here… take water and go to bed.

Mr Scott never knew Clara followed him, to the spot he buried Maira. Clara thought about involving the police,but she realized, she had no other family left or any other person who will take her in when her father get arrested,so she decided to sweep that night incident,under the carpet.

“Why did your mum and you come into my life?. Scott asked, Clara's eyes turned red,tears ready to roll down.

“Huh..? Father… why are you saying this to me ?

“Ever since you both came into my life,it hasn't been funny for me. Why? why?

“Father what are you saying right now, you're the one who made mum and I lives hell on earth.you malhandled us the way you wanted it.you have been a little born on our throats before you murdered her.

“What? Scott seemed shocked.

“Yes… you think I don't know how you smashed mum's head on the wall that nigh?I hate your fucking ass, and you know what?... You can die for all I care,to to hell and burn to ashes. Clara walked out of the hospital room,she fell on the tiled floor crying out her pains.
