"Father, father please forgive me," I said to my Father as he continues hitting me in different parts of my body. I don't know why he is always like that to me. He is drunk every night while crying. I could tell that my father is hurting inside. He is sobbing and catches his breathe while crying. That's why I approached him and said.
"Are you alright, Father?"
After what I said he hits me and said.
"This is your fault, if not because of you maybe Nora will still alive with me."
I don't understand him but as a child, I want a fatherly love. How many times he hits me that bruised is all over my body. I still love him and I wanted to be with him. Although I am jealous of those children I'm seeing outside. They're so happy together with their parents and they can play their friends. From what I remember, I haven't tried going outside. Father won't allow me and just imprisoned me in my room.
While Father is away I take a peek outside from the window. The brightness of the sun blinded my eyes because I was in my room for long. Father just feeds me like an animal in the cage. I'm so happy that at last for a long time I can taste the fresh air outside. I'm smiling while watching the other kids playing not far from our house.
I wave at them when they look at me in the window. I smile at them but they never smile at me. I just understand them because I'm not their friends. As they're walking away I notice that it's getting dark. I'm looking for my father because usually, he goes home at this time. I keep on walking inside the house while waiting for my father.
I startled when some of my neighbour's break-in into our house. They kicked our door with the people with guns together with them. I'm hiding because I'm afraid since Father is not here yet. I continue on hiding but when I saw them getting inside of my father's room. I show up because I saw my father sitting in his bed. Father is not moving at all no matter how these people pulled him.
"What happened to my father?" I said to our neighbours but they just ignored me. They're now heading to my room but I persistently asked him about my father. I even pulled the hand one of our neighbours.
"Hey, what happened to my father."
I don't understand but they keep on ignoring me like I don't exist. I follow them while saying.
"There's no one there because I am here."
They are still ignoring but when they opened my room. I'm wondering why am I there lying? I don't know what's happening. How come there is another me when I don't have a twin. As a child, I have no idea what's happening.
"Sir, this kid is dead already." Our neighbours said to those big guys with guns.
I still don't understand why they said I'm dead when I'm here in front of them. I just follow them because they took my father with them.
END..
