F: Good evening, Lily. I'm Frank Girikanan, the one who is saving you from hell. You may call me Dr Frank.
L: Thank you so much, Dr Frank. You're my hero.
F: You're welcome. Do you remember everything? Don't worry, no one knows where you're. I'm protecting you.
L: Ummm... I'm so afraid, but... Where are my papa and mama now? I wanna have a hug from them right now.
F: Unfortunately, we're still looking for them. Or you may describe them to me first. I can help with that.
L: Hmmm... I merely know my papa and mama hate my school's textbooks. They once told me that everything the government contributed was an illusion. On the contrary, the government caught a lot of innocent people and kept denying the policy's failure.
F: Seems they're avid peace lovers, aren't they?
L: What a pity I can't ask them why they're thinking that in front of them in time. Hope they can come back safely.
F: Good. Try your best to tell me what happened to you after being separated from them.
L: Okay, I try. It all started when the principal called my papa and mama to come to the school immediately after school. He ragingly shouted at us that we were traitors and called the police. Then the police caught my papa and mama and told me they were no longer to be my papa and mama. I was so frustrated and could do nothing about it. So I was just crying a lot.
F: This is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
L: My school expelled me and sent me to another school, but it was more terrible. The teachers there warned me to give up the idea of secession. I didn't understand what they were talking about, just keeping silent all the time when they mentioned me. Every time I did anything unsatisfying to them, or cried about my papa and mama, they would hit me very hard with rods and whips. They also forced me to watch videos to correct my knowledge. Falling asleep was prohibited in this lesson but I couldn't help sleeping. Because of this misbehaviour, I had to withstand their multiple cruel slaps.
F: So you have this irreversible pain. I feel very sorry about this.
L: Later, I couldn't take it anymore! I just wanted to go home! So I escaped from there myself when the teachers and the schoolmates didn't notice last night. Before embarking on the escape, I had to make sure everyone was sleeping and avoid making any noises. No matter how painful the wounds were, I still needed to withstand them. At last, I successfully entered the refuse room, picked up a garbage bag as a disguise and stayed in the dumpster. Until the garbage truck which emptied the dumpster I was in left the town, I could be safe to get out of the stinky garbage stored in the truck. Unluckily, at the road I landed, no cars passed by, making me wait on the windy roadside. I was planning to stay in the middle to stop the passing car.
F: You're such a brave girl! You never feel lonely all the time. If we receive bad news that your parents cannot come back alive, I'll be your new father, and you'll be one of the members of our pleasant Girikanan family. You'll learn fresh things the schools won't teach and deserve friendly treatment. I believe you can grow strong even though your parents are gone. Hope you'll recover soon.
L: Thanks for your cheer.
F: Now I'm off to my business. Have a good and sound night.
L: You too.
