Getting back
“I’m sorry, Mr. Miller, She is no more”
As soon as these words come out of his mouth, I fall back. It’s like time froze around me. It’s like, I left alone in whole world and no one is around me. How is it possible? My daughter was my only family. After losing my wife, she was my only family. Something wet fall on the back of my palm and I realize that it’s my own tears. Broken sobs come out of my mouth and I realize that I’m crying. I start sobbing hard. I don’t have anything left.
SAY NO
" Just you say....‘No’?” My drunken husband ask me while slowly taking his steps toward me. Today I’m not afraid of him. It’s today or never. I directly look in his eyes with too much hatred. He stand in-front of me and grabbed my hair. He pull my hair harshly but I refuse to show pain and weakness. I didn’t scream instead I laugh on his face. I laugh hard on his face because he can’t enjoy my pain any more.
" Did. You. Just. Say. NO.” He again ask me and interrupt my laughter but this time he say each word more clear and with each word his grip tied on my hair. He is expecting fear in my eyes but today, I refuse to be scared of him.
" Are you DEAF? Didn’t I just say NO?” I spat my word on his face. His eyes turned red. He Violently push me and my forehead hit wall and start bleeding but before I can react on it, He pull me by griping my hair and slap me hard. I fall on floor but I refuse to cry. I refuse to show physical pain. I’m broke from inside and internal pain is more than physical pain. I look above in his eyes and then I know what is he going to do. This time I crawl back. He is going to force himself on me like always.
