It was raining lightly, the rain drops could be seen on the window of the restaurant it was an old man's restaurant where he brought me, there was a different type of peace in that environment, I always loved rain it remind me of my one of the favorite memories with my mother, "hello" Elvin said to wake me up from my imaginations. "You love rain don't you?" he asked me. "Yes, it makes me remember one of my favorite memory with my mother,". I told him. " Can you share with me?". "Umm one day I saw my mom crying in her room dad wasn't there I went to her and asked what happened, she told me that she wasn't crying something just hurt her eyes, I swipe her tears and put my head in her lap she ran her fingers through my hairs and kissed my forehead, I told her that the sky is crying cause my mom was hurt she laughed so hard and her mood got all okay and then we played afterward". "Why was she crying?" he asked me. "I don't know I was just 5 year-old that time". "Man, I am curious now, can you do me a favor ask her now, why was she crying" he said. "I wish I could but she's dead". "Oh I am sorry" ."Nah its okay" I told him. "If you don't mind can I ask you how she died". I don't know why was I opening up so much usually to him I don't discuss my mom a lot in front of my friends but my heart wanted to share with him, "It was 24th July my mom and dad were in our LA house where Ms. Claudia also lived suddenly the house caught fire my dad and Ms. Claudia managed to came out of the house but she couldn't and she got burned alive" I told him and suddenly my eyes became watery, I sighed and tried to control my tears he put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Its okay, life is based on living and dying we all will die, the only thing that matters is who lived the best" I smiled at him he feels like home I felt relax with him, "So how's life in that jail?". "Excuse me?". "I meant your mansion, that is no more than a jail to me,". "No its not a jail, its good I loved in there" I tried to clear him. "People usually escape from their house or jail huh?". Of of course he was right but I tried to still clarify, "My dad is just over protective towards me that why he don't allow me to go out". "You are 17, love, you should also have a right to go out live like a normal teenager". "he just wants me to be safe" I told him. "Like this girl it is like keeping you like a captive, how many parties have you attended since your childhood?" he asked me. " No..ne..". "Lol, I have attended over 50 parties". I suddenly turned sad it was true I was just a showpiece for my dad whom he had put inside the shelf so that it won't break and hired Ms. Claudia to take care of it so it won't get dusty I lost my appetite, he looked at me and said, " I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you" "it's okay I didn't mind, now we should go it's getting late" I said
The rain was still going on I was feeling some kind of sadness the feeling that nobody really cares about me, I was alone all alone dad had no interest in me, if he did why would he do that, why would he treat me like that, Elvin was correct it was a bitter truth my eyes, were all blurry I nearly cried, "hello? you okay" he asked me. Maybe he saw my invisible tear that was falling backward, to save my dignity in front of him. "Of course why would I not be". the rest of the way was quiet nobody said a word
I said to him, goodbye and now my mission was started again To climb up from the pipe. Going down was easier than going up, I had experienced going down but my I didn't have any experience of going up I was hiding behind the trees gazing at the surroundings to see if anybody was here there were the same two guards at the door I didn't know how to divert there attention I thought for a while to find out how to go to my room's window which was at the opposite side than suddenly an idea came I took my phone out and tried to find the guards number thankfully I did Find the number of one of those, I called them and told them that I was feeling that somebody entered the mansion and requested them to come inside but only one of them went inside the other was still standing I didn't have much time I knew that there would be a fuss in our house in some time, now I played a voice, a voice of a baby crying to confuse the other guard he started to look around and I ran towards my window I looked up to my window but it was pretty high it looked nearly impossible to go up but I still thought of trying but when I focused again, I noticed my window was closed but I remembered when I left, I left it open, so how the hell it was opened my heart started to run fast I couldn't identify what could have happened, maybe everybody knew by now I started to panic several thoughts started to come inside my mind may be they would think I am kidnaped. I tried to relax and now that I knew that everybody knew I decided to face the situation I went to the guard he looked shocked, he went inside and started shouting "she is here". I went inside along with him Ms. Claudia was crying sitting on a sofa dad was looking tense more than ever Kevin and his dad were also there and approx, 20 men were also present, they all were wearing a black suits. Kevin was the first one to see me, he came to me and started asking, "where were you AURORA". I was answerless. Ms. Claudia and dad also rushed toward me, Ms. Claudia hugged me so tightly that I was almost out of breath dad asked me in a loud voice, "Where were you, all dressed?" I was again answerless I was getting afraid he shouted now, "ANSWER ME, YOUNG LADY". now i decided to say something, "I..I...I....I" I couldnt say the full sentence. he shouted again now I was almost breathing less, "I was goi..nngg t..ooo Ad ad Adam's party..." i finally said. "WHAT?" Dad was looking angrier now Kevin interrupted," Don't lie aurora I was there you weren't there, we already looked his whole house you were not there" I looked at Kevin with a very angry face, now Ms. Claudia started saying, "AURORA you know what you have done we really afraid we thought you were kidnapped or something bad happened to you, you are lacking mind now, I didn't expect this from you!", now I was offended, for the first time in my life I felt irritated by Ms. Claudia, " Oh please guys, stop acting you all care," I said. " AURORA behave yourself!!". " I AM NOT YOUR SHOWPIECE OKAY!, SO STOP IT STOP TREATING ME LIKE ONE, I NEED A LIFE, I AM NEARLY 18 NOW". I shouted at them. "Where were you, tell us?" Kevin asked I felt irritated by him, "I was going to Adam's party, I meet some goons they were misbehaving with me and then I met Elvin he saved me from them and I was hungry so he offered me some food, that's ittttt," I told them. " ARE U OKAY?" Ms. Claudia asked me I wasn't feeling good by the many questions I was getting annoyed, "MS CLAUDIA YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER STOP SHOWING YOUR FAKE LOVE, OKAY, I DONT NEED YOU, I DONT NEED A CARETAKER I AM OLD ENOUGH!" I said in a really loud voice dad shouted back at me, "BEHAVE YOUR SELF AURORA!!". "Oh, please dad keep you and this caretaker to your self I don't need you both I am old enough" as I finished my sentence I felt a heavy hand on my cheek hitting it with anger, I was shocked it was my dad, the same dad who always treated me like a princess who never raised his voice at me now he slapped me for what, for telling truth my eyes widened I laughed with many tears falling down my cheeks I ran toward my room the way to room felt like miles I entered my room and shut the door with full pressure I put my head inside my pillow and cried, cried so hard that my eyes nearly bleed
