"M-Ma." My tears escaped from my eyes like an open faucet.
Fears runs on my veins when I heard the word pregnant. My mind is loaded with random thoughts about the possible pregnancy. She walked towards me with a frown face.
"Who's the father?" she asked in anger. Her voice almost echoed in the kitchen.
"T-Tito Dante, mom," I answered as my tears burst out.
I am anxious right now!
"Liar! Will you please stop creating stories, Avi? Stop destroying this family. Why would you not just admit that you have a secret boyfriend and you flirt? Then you got pregnant!"
"Ma, I don't have a boyfriend. You know that." I cried.
"I was not always around. I can't see your actions. Maybe you are doing something behind my back. My goodness, Avi! You are just sixteen years old. Too young to be a mother." Frustration is visible on her face.
"I never wanted this." Never!
"That is definitely a shame for our family! It will ruin our family name and image. What do you think other people would say? They will judge you!"
Yes, mom, they will judge me like what you're doing right now.
"I don't want this. I never wanted this to happen, mom."
"Next time use your mind, Avi. Think about the consequences of your action. Look at what happened? You got pregnant by a random guy!"
How can she say those hurtful words to her own daughter?
"Mom, I told you he raped me. Help me to bring him to jail. Give me the justice I deserve!" I hold her hand to beg but she slapped me.
I can see the fear in her eyes for losing the man she love but not afraid to lose her own daughter.
"No! You will not do that. I love your Tito Dante and I know he cannot do that to you. He loves me. He loves us, Avi! His feelings for me is genuine. Can't you see that?" She smiled so creepy with a teary eyes.
Those smiles is same like Dante. Indeed creepy! I touched her face hoping that she will have a sympathy for me.
"Mom, I'm your daughter. Please believe me. What does he did to you to be obsessed to him like that?" I asked worriedly.
"Enough! Enough! I don't want to hear anything from you. He can't do that. He can't. Dante loves me. He will not cheat on me." She grabbed her hair and ran out of the house.
I covered my mouth and cried silently. I want to scream but there is no voice that coming out. She is acting so weird. What's happening to my mother?
I am really confuse with her actions. This passed few days I saw a lot of changes to her. She's not the same mother I grew up with. It seems like she is a different person now. She became thinner and the dark circles under her eyes are more visible. Maybe because of stress and lack of sleep to her work this passed few weeks.
I sat down on the floor and cried. I hugged my legs and rested my face on my knees. Maybe she's right that I am pregnant. But if that's really true I don't know what I am going to do. I'm not ready to be a mother at this age. I still have so many dreams that I want to pursue. And most of all I don't want to have a child from my own rapist. Not from him!
THE only way to confirm my theory is through a test. I bought a Pregnancy Test kit from my small savings and followed the written instructions. My world melted when I saw two red lines.
I shouted out of my lungs in anger and fear. That demon ruined my whole life. I cried until I became tired. Since I know no one would believe me then I would seek help from other people.
This is a good opportunity to escape from this inferno. I packed some of my clothes and ready to leave but then we met on the living room. Or should I say, he waited for me to hinder on my plans.
"Where are you going?" He asked me with a widen eyes.
The dark circles under his eyes gives me a goosebumps.
"Just let me go!"
"You will sue me to jail? Do you think I will let that happen? Of course not. I'm not stupid!"
He grabbed me to a room and locked me there. I shouted but no one can hear me. Our house is far from the neighbors. I hate myself for being weak like this. If ever that I would have an opportunity to go outside this house, I will immediately seek for help. I don't care if he would kill me. My life is nonsense now. I'm tired living in misery. I just want to rest forever.
"Help! Help! Please help me to get out of here!" I shouted the louder I can. Hoping that maybe somebody from the outside might help me to be free.
"Stop, Avi! No one can hear you here. You are just wasting your time."
"I will kill you once I free myself! I swear I will make you taste the real inferno in my own my hand!"
"Inferno is my palace, Avi. I would be glad if you do that." He laughed.
"Damn you! Mom! Please help me!"
I tried to seek for help again and again. I looked for an exit but I don't see anything. Because of extreme anxious and over fatigue I lost my conscious. I woke up near evening. I can't see the outside but I know it because of the darkness that covered the whole room. I stood up and looked on the small space of the wooden wall. From here I can see the small living room.
I saw my mom kissing the demon. Dante succeed to manipulate her. I don't know what spell he used to control my mother. I watched their actions and I saw a candle and a foil. I am hoping that my instinct is wrong. I stayed on my position and wait for their next move. I covered my mouth in surprise when I saw a white powder in a pack of transparent plastic.
What the hell! They are using drugs. Is this the reason why my mom changed this passed few days?
I took a step back when I saw Dante walked to my room with my mother. The door opened and the light striked on my face.
"I found a solution for your problem, my dear daughter," I can't recognized her voice.
She's under the influence of illegal drugs!
"W-What solution?" I don't know why I can feel something strange on this.
I know they are planning something. I don't know what it is but I know it's definitely not good.
"We will abort the child," she whispered.
