She has her leg crossed, sitting humbly in front of the old lady and John. Initially she has to go toward the living room but grandma suddenly appeared in front of her and took her to a dim lighted room.
It was a room kept sacred for prayer.
The grandma sitting in front of her had a stern look on her face, her narrow eyes glaring her with a frown.
At first the girl looked around the small room. There were a few photo frames of people who had food offered in front of them.
She swallowed and finally surrendered her eyes to the grandma, "You can kick me out or hand me over to the officers, I will not retaliate".
It took a lot of guts to directly say those horrifying things but other than that, she had no wish to beg to them to stay there.
Grandma sighed. Her blood shot eyes glanced at John and with a cooperating nod, she finally said, "How will that be any use to me. I want revenge. I want revenge from those who has hurt my Leigh, if you can do that then I will let you stay here".
Tia bit her lips, her fist clutched tightly over her skirt and she shook her head, "As I said, everyone was killed by Roff Gordon, none of them are alive so I can't help in anyway. I am sorry".
She slightly bowed her head but the confident looking grandma who has a clear view of her goal shook her head, "No. you are wrong. Not everyone is dead and neither I want every one of them dead".
Confused over those baffling words, Tia creased her brows and glanced at John. As he gave a nod, she questioned, "And who are they? I remember seeing every one of the terrorist groups getting shot and dying on the spot".
Her eyes blinked fast as she forced her brain to think more because grandma silence was making her curious and anxious.
"Are you talking about me?" she pointed at herself and swallowed.
Grandma didn't respond to her words rather she said, "Those terrorists are dead but the one who are involved in my child kidnapping are still roaming around fearlessly. I want you to look for them and get rid of them mercilessly right in front of me".
Tia lips parted; her eyes glanced in shock at john. She was wondering how this old lady was so sure that someone from outside the terrorist organisation had their hand in Leigh's kidnapping.
She wanted to ask but she couldn't interrupt the old lady when she continued, "I also want you to pretend to be Leigh and pay back her classmates and whoever bullied her".
"And I also want you to take over the company that belongs to Iam now".
Tia was speechless. She understood that this old lady wanted to pay back each and every one who has hurt her grandchild but still things didn't really adjust in her head when the old lady talked about the company.
She slightly shook her head in confusion and backed off suddenly when the grandma moved forward on her knees with a roaring energy.
"That woman is my only child but I feel ashamed calling her my child," Tia understood that the old lady was talking about Iam Filin who was leigh's mother, "when Leigh was kidnapped, I begged her to look for her but she never cared as if she wanted that innocent child to die. She doesn't deserve anything that once belonged to my husband that's why you must snatch back that company".
"And what will I do after taking over it and… how will I even do it?" Tia panicked. She wasn't sure about the path she was moving down.
Suddenly the old woman grabbed her hand tightly, "You must and must pay back that woman the humiliation she has given to my Leigh. I must see you do all of this before I die or else, I will never forgive you and I will really hand you over to the officers."
It wasn't like the fake Leigh had any interest in going behind bars to be tortured after escaping a hell neither she was reluctant to fulfil the old lady wish but the question was, how was she going to do those scary sounding things?
Not to forget, she also had to look for the other branches of the terrorist organisation as asked by Roff.
A moment of silence prevailed as Tia looked down thinking of the reason, she was even escaping her real faith.
As a traitor of this country, she was bound to be caught someday but she was still fighting her way out and for what?
She questioned it to herself looking all dull.
"Do you get it?" the grandma high pitch urging voice yanked her back.
"But madam how am I going to do that? All I know is to move my body to fight others, how am I even going to get a company?"
She was looking anxious and the old lady words only increased her heart rate.
"I don't know how you will do it but it is still better than being tortured here in Laxerian country prison, right? everyone knows, our country has the worst technique of torturing traitors".
Her eyes big as she threatened Tia boldly. John looked at her with an anxious look while Tia swallowed.
Truth to be told, she didn't have the guts to actually surrender herself to the officers after finally escaping a hell like place.
She still wanted to go to beautiful places and meet kind people even though she knew that someday, the outcome was going to be same.
But at least she wanted to stall for some time so that she can have less regrets before death and finally she nodded knowing well that the path she was taking wasn't going to be an easy way.
