Chapter 6 - THIS IS MY STORY
"Aslan and Rae barged into my life on one day and they changed everything"
"Well I'm interested to hear about my best friends helping you to fight your own darkness" said peter.
"We moved from our old town to where no one knows us for a fresh start, but the terror never left me. One day, Farlan wasn't here and same with Papa, I thought not to open the store but it's not worth it, so with all the courage I had left I opened the club, it was actually terrifying...it went all well. Emma and mackey have helped me as well, you saw them on the counter didn't you?"
"Ahh yes! Them!" Peter replied
"It all went well so I thought why not open the night set and it was going well then I found some familiar faces. It was him"
There was a sudden pause, the air felt really tense for Peter as someone is opening their life towards him.
"It was my old homeroom teacher. He looked older and he wore that same smug from that day when he ate me alive. I didn't know what to do, everything around me stopped moving around me and I felt eyes all over falling on me. And it went-"
[That day]
"Ohho isn't this my favourite student here" that old man said.
"Let me take you to another fair...a magical fair...hahahahahahahhahahaa"
Fana stood there silent. Her body was trembling and she started to perspirate. She was panicking. Her lungs felt like crushing and she was struggling for breath. Palpitations occured, she started to panick attack. She balanced herself by leaning on a wall.
The last thing she remeber is Emma asking her something, then everything went black.
After few hours she woke up, Farlan and Papa was by my side, Fana couldn't tell a thing to them as she
was panicking remembering his face.
"Was I dreaming, or did it really happened" she couldn't believe anything.
Farlan noticed her waking up and he asked her about what happened. He was worried. Stallone was worried as well but he was bearing all the pain inside him, he sat beside her but never spoke a word.
After few minutes she broke the silence and said "I'm afraid brother, I don't wanna live like this"
"What!?, Why are you talking like that?" Asked Farlan
"He was here Farlan, I saw him, he came here..." Tears started to burst out from her eyes , she continued "he's here"
Farlan was speechless, Stallone was in another room so he was oblivious of this conversation.
"Who came here, what are you talking about?" Farlan asked.
"Megwan, he came here." She bursted and teared up even more.
"He was here Farlan"
"Hey! Hey! It's okey, May be that was just a dream....even if he was here I will hit hime with our frying pan and make him apologize to you" he tried to ease out the situation by cracking up a joke but that didn't work.
He left the room to let her give her own space. He was tensed as well. He spoke to their Papa and from those words it's evident that he's heartbroken as well, no one was able to do anything these years to let her free from the clutches of her dark past, not even her brother. Farlan was helpless, he tried things but he was unable to reach out to her by heart. He didn't tried more because he was afraid that he'll lose her if he tries to make her remember about those things again, in a way he also made a way to let the silence swallow her.
[Later in the cafe]
Cafe bell chimes...
Customers, fragrance of hot coffee on a side and chimes of shot glass on the other side.
Farlan saw someone entering the cafe.
Suddenly an idea popped in Farlan's mind. He reached out to a cartain table where a brunette man and a young women were throwing a tantrum over the last piece of pizza. On a second thought he stopped, but he knew they might be able to so that.
"Hey Aslan can you spare a moment with me"
"Yea take him with you Farlan then I can eat my pizza peaceful here" the woman said.
"Haa I'm gonna take MY pizza with me...go and argue with a wall you shorty" Aslan said.
"Who are you calling short? You clay head!" Woman said.
"Hey......hey.....hey... Guys it's a matter that I want to discuss with you both. I really really need your help"
"OUR HELP?!" they both said unanimously.
"What is it....are u in some financial crisis?...if that's it... I'm the least useful person to do you a favour...Peter could help you. He's good in swarming Groove family's money and using it. I usually make him do that alot hehe" woman said.
"Um NO! It's not that Raechel, I just, it's just.. it's for my sister" Farlan said and then he explained the whole situation to them.
"Lately these days she's having these schizophrenic episodes about him and medicines aren't reacting enough... it's just something she have to overcome by herself" Farlan explained.
"Why are you so sure that she's hallucinating everything? What if he was actually here?" Rae asked him.
"No it's not actually possible Rae, it's just that he died few years back due to injecting mercury in his body and he died due to internal hemorrhage, it was suicide in report" Farlan explained it to them.
"Now a days, people are using weird methods to die" Rae said.
"I don't think he committed suicide" Aslan said.
"Why though?" Rae questioned
"First of all he isn't a kind of person who would kill himself, he's an animal, he loves to hunt...there are several rape accusations above his head as Farlan said to us, he devoured alot of kids...even after he was fired from being a tutor he still used to do the same.. innocent kids fell in his hands as preys...that pedophile would never fall in despair
Second of all, I would like to repeat everything I said above...some thing inside me is telling me that he won't die on his own"
" The pizza in your stomach might be telling you that, YEA NO SHIT SHERLOCK! people can fall in despair for no reason, may be he was accepting all the crimes he did and felt like he no longer deserves to live" Rae said
"If he was feeling any inch of remorse he would have reached out to those he hurt in the past and would ask for apology, not that he deserve it but still that's what a person with remorse would do" Ash said.
"May be....but may be the sins were too much so much and he was unable to bear it and live with it... sooo...." Rae tried to explain but Aslan had the upper hand there.
"You worked as as chemist, didn't you Farlan?" Aslan asked to F
Aslan and Rae turned to face him and faced each other as well.
"Yup I did fore few years" Farlan answered.
Suddenly they stopped the discussion about Megwan, the Pedophile's death.
"Why do you think we could help her out Farlan?" Rae asked.
"You know....I know that you guys are survivors" Farlan said.
"How do you-?"
"We were once orphans as well... I was in Motherland Cathedral for few days as well when my foster parents due was over.....after all those incidents I got to know what happened and I know about you guys as well"
For few minutes it was completely silent...no one spoke anything.
"What say, it's worth giving a shot.. isn't it wildcat?" Aslan asked Rae
"Farlan, we'll help her to heal the scar?" Rae said.
"After all we are survivors, right?"
