PASCHAL didn't want to believe what actually he was thinking after reading the later several times. It all started when he came back from work and found the house in a gloomy state.
For no reason at all,his mind raised to Joey. He opened the room door to find out she wasn't even in the house. Something was definitely wrong. Not able to fix his mind on where she could possibly be,he tried calling, searching and doing everything possible.
Obviously,he couldn't call or text her family for her whereabout 'cause they already disliked him. And then he remembered. Oh! Rachel's room! Of course Rachel's room,what other place in this world would Joey spend her time in?
He decided to occupy his mind with something else until she returned back. But as the day started drawing near without a sign of Joey,he started getting afraid.
This wasn't Joey's way.
It wasn't until he found a letter boldly written down by her behind the shelf,did it now dawn on him that something was definitely wrong. This was the 9th time he was reading her letter again:
"Paschal....
I think...no. I know I can never be happy again in life. It's a fact I grew to realize. Thanks for all your care and passion towards me. It actually did a whole lot,but didn't take the deep darkness away from my heart. That darkness I think is the taught that after all not everybody can be happy in this world. With tears and deep hurt in my heart I write you this letter of solitude. Guess what?! I think I have finally found happiness. And if you're reading this letter now,I'm sure I'm already on my way to that long happiness I've been longing for. You tried Paschal but your own was not good enough. Thanks again for everything. I guess now, that everybody can be happy if they find it. I've found mine and I wish you good luck. Sorry to say Paschal, but I think you won't see your sweet loving Joey again.
You remain my one and only Fred Paschal.
Your darling
Signed"
Could this be what he thought? "No... No... Joey...no" he was loosing it. He was deep in that thought when a piece from the letter struck him; "I'm sure I'm already on my way to that long happiness,I've been longing for--" that room! He quickly jumped on his feet, taking his car keys, on his way to that room.
He didn't wait for anybody to open the door for him or tell him what to do.
He didn't care if her family never liked him. He passed all of that.
His mind kept raising to Joey. Up the stairs. Through the hallway at the front of-- that room! Rachel's room,her only place of solitude.
He reached out to hold the door knob,but was too scared to see the outcome.
A tear dropped from his eyelid and he stroked it off. No! I've gotta face this. I'm a man.
He slowly, reluctantly and slightly held the door knob about to open the door but kluck! It was locked.
Now he was frightened as all his thoughts were pushing towards this. With that fear in mind,he pushed and pushed the door until it finally broke open.
And behold! There she was, struggling for her life. She was seriously shocking by the rope tied to her neck, connected to the fan above and stopping her from breathing. "JOEY?" Paschal finally realized himself and quickly stood on a stool to help her down.
She was already gasping slowly.
