Finally it was 06:00 pm, it was time for me to be dismissed, probably time for me to say goodbye to this store. sigh, this was so unfair. I walked towards my bosses office, knocked on the door and waited patiently for her response. Few seconds later she told me to come in.
When I got in, she was with some files on her hand, maybe the secretary had given her some reports for today.
" Ma'am I'm here for the salary" I said in a low voice, bowing respectfully. She roses her head from the file,then she looked at me. She immediately took out something from her drawer. it was wrepped in a nylon bag. She stretched her hand forward and gave it to me. " Please do take care of yourself okay" She said and I nodded in response.
I walked out of the office feeling really dejected. I took my purse and headed out of the store. It was some minutes past six, but the sky looks really dark. maybe it was going to rain heavily. Sigh, that doesn't matter to me right now. All I wanted to do now was go home and cry my heart out.
There was a rumbling sound in the sky, and then it began to rain heavily. I didn't care to seek shelter cause truly I wasn't myself. it's pour increased two times heavier, but I didn't care. I was now drenched in the rain but I didn't care.
What was I going to tell my parents when they ask me of my Job? I Kept thinking about something to tell my parents when suddenly someone touched my shoulder.
I turned around to see the person, but I couldn't see his face. Who was that? Still thinking about who it could be, I heard someone say
" Hey pretty, why are you walking under the rain?, are you depressed, you can follow me so I could entertain you" He said smiling evilly. He doesn't look like someone who was going to help, he looks like someone who was here attack me at anytime soon. I immediately stepped back so he won't touch me again. he looks scary as he walked closer to me.
He laughed wickedly in every step he took. What was wrong with this man. I was scared, I didn't know when Immediately blurted out" what do you want from me?" He laughed again but he didn't stop walking close to me. I kept on stepping backward to avoid him.
" Ooh please I need nothing from you, we just want to have some fun with you" What ! We, there's a we? Which means he wasn't alone. immediately two more men came out of their hiding place smirking evilly. ' No this can't be happening' I widened my eyes in shock. And then the only thing that rang in my head was ' Run'.
Without wasting much time, I started running. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I would never allow them to touch me. Gosh, what will I do if I couldn't out run them. They chased my without wasting time too. The three men were burly and heavy, They might kill someone if they pounced on the person.
One of the almost touch me, but I immediately dodged his hand, and he grabbed the air. "Fuck " he said within gritted teeth. He didn't know how he missed, but it really agitated him. Still running fast, I didn't look at the ground and I stepped on something that made me trip and fell on the floor. I hit my head on the floor so hard that it began to bleed. My purse flew out of my hand and immediately landed on a place I couldn't see.
My vision became blurry and I couldn't see anything clearly. Everything happen so fast that I couldn't even react. I felt someone touch my leg and said" Now we are going to punish you for making us run a far distance" After saying that, he began to drag me on the floor like a bag of rag. My skin rubbed on the rough floor, giving me some scratch and wounds on my skin.
Finally they stopped at a particular place, and they were about to tear off my clothes but immediately they stopped. I couldn't feel their touch on my skin and my body again. I couldn't see my skin, but I know I look bloody at that time.
I saw flashes of light but I couldn't see very well. My vision was still blurry and my head still hurts alot. I could hear voices of men but I didn't know what they were saying. Someone touched my shoulder and I could only hear one thing. " Miss are you okay?" I knew someone had come to my rescue, so I said one thing before passing out.
" Please Help me" Was All I could say before everything around me became dark.
********
The next day, I woke up from my sleep with great difficulty. My body ached so much that I couldn't even move. When I opened my eyes, I scanned my surrounding I realized I was not in my room. Where the hell was I ?.
I tried to seat up, but I couldn't, my body ached so badly. I look at my right hand and i noticed that I had a string attached to my hand, and I was receiving some fluid. What was this? Why am I in the hospital room?. Then I remembered what happened last night. ' oh no, I could remember that I was being chased by some thugs that wanted to molest me. I immediately used my free hand to touch my abdomen. I sighed in relief when I couldn't feel any pain in my privacy.
Then I remembered that I was saved by someone, and all I could hear was if I was okay. I looked around, and then I saw a nurse combining some fluid together in one string. I guess she was about to put it on me, because I was the only one in this ward.
"Nurse" I called out to get some attention. When she looked at me, she was so shocked and she immediately gasped as if she saw a ghost.
" You are finally awake, I need to go get the doctor immediately" with that she ran out of the ward. Why was she so excited that I woke up. it was only yesterday right?, or.... wait, was I in a comma after that night. No that can't be possible right?.
Few minutes later, the doctor and two nurses came rushing in.
GASP. GASP
They all gasped in relief as they walked towards me on the bed. The doctor immediately placed his hand on my forehead to check my temperature. "Gosh, thank God you woke up young lady" the doctor said looking at me with happiness written all over his face.
" Yeah doctor. It was just yesterday right, so why are you all behaving so wired?" I said confused.
They all looked at each other before looking at me. The doctor shook his head before saying.
" No young Miss, it's been two weeks since you we.nt into I comma." He said. My eyes widened in shock. "What did you just say, what do you mean by two weeks?" I asked in astonishment.
" you see young Miss, when you were brought here that night. Every body seemed calm, but for the few days you didn't wake up, He didn't let anyone in this hospital get some rest. He said he was going to burn the hospital down if you don't wake up by tomorrow. so we have been doing everything possible to wake you up. So thank God you woke up today, if not our Hospital would have been in ashes by tomorrow." The doctor explained patiently and happily. What was he talking about, and who was. going to burn down this hospital?
"So who Is that person you are talking about?" I asked the doctor in curiosity because I didn't know anyone especially a guy who was able to save me.
" Well young Miss his name is Young master Lucian Freud, He was the one who brought you here" Well I didn't know who this Young master Lucian Freud was, but I really appreciate.
Immediately the door of my ward opened and a young man walked in elegantly. My eyes were immediately locked on the person that just stepped inside my ward. He looked very handsome, he was tall and he had a broad chest. He was putting on a black suit that fits his body very well, his hair was brushed backwards which accurately brought out his beauty. I gulped hard. Gosh he is so handsome.
