Desmond's point of view.......
" Desmond calm down . You can do this. Remember to write everything she did to you.The abuse , sodomizing and how she made you mute. Write everything . Let pay for what she to you and your siblings. You can do this. " Christiana keeps assuring for what seemed to be the seventh time
Am so sacred . What if her presence brings fear in me. What if she is able to bribe the police . And they don't give me the chance. She always told me that she is a mafia . So no one can do anything to her . Not even the police. But how come she got arrested this time. Could it be that Christiana 's family have power more than my mum. ?
" Desmond ! " Regina and Dennis yell out of happiness
They run to hug me that instant.
As usual they are hugging my knees.
As they were hugging me . A woman along with eight children come to my direction.
The woman coughs and later speaks
" So you are the famous Desmond." The woman happily says
" Aunt . He is mute. " Christiana tells the woman
" Mute?? Mute , makes me remember uncle Sam when he was in his teens." The woman says with sadness in his eyes.
" Anyways Aunt . Why are you here ? " Christiana questions her aunt
Then I touch Christiana's shoulder .
" Don't question your aunty 's arrival . Is very wrong to do that . You will just make her feel like an outcast . You should just welcome instead of questioning her arrival." I advised Christiana using sign language
Christiana smiles in way to make me know she appreciates my advice
" Sorry Aunt. I mean welcome" Christiana tells her aunt
"Thanks Christiana ,by the way how did you learn to understand Desmond 's sign language" Christiana Aunt questions Christiana
" I learn it on the internet ." Was Christiana's response
" Regina and Dennis have said a lot about you Desmond ." Christiana's aunt says
" Incase you don't know me . Am the one taking care of Dennis and Regina .I will be adopting them in two weeks time. By the way, my name is Mrs. Mary Johns . You can call me Mary or you can choose a nickname for me. My husband's name is Mr. Frank Johns. "
I simply smile
" She is in ." A police yells from behind
That's when I saw her with handcuffs on her hands and with four police . One at the left , Another at the right . One at the back and the another in front of her face .
She looks really ugly and there were bruises all over her face , neck , hands and legs.
I wouldn't have recognised her.If not for her eyes .
Those wicked grey eyes
Finally her gaze meets mine . She gives me that wicked stare like she is warning me to be silent.
I breathe for a minute and start doubting my confidence"Can i do this?
" You all must go to the restaurant. But Desmond and his siblings should stay ." The police announces
