Dark n Wild

I sit in the dining room, turn on my laptop, while eating my breakfast, it's very cold today, i pull the blanket over my body, to cover the cold breeze that was pierced through my bones, i was froze that’s why i hate winter. The streets become slippery, it felt like i just wanted to stay at home whole day, and having a warm drink, to keeps my body warm " mom.. Can I have one more glass of hot milk? " i told to my mother who was heating water for making coffee for herself " sure baby wait " she replied and making one more for me " here " she said and gave me one more glass " baby, we have to meet Mrs.Lika today " she said and take a sit beside me " why? " i asked curiously (Mrs.Lika is my mom’s best friend, they live in the same neighborhood for a long time, but since my mother got married, so my mom move and live with my dad in Chicago) two years ago we went back to Seoul, back to my mom’s old house without dad i know Mrs.Lika very well, she's as kind as my own mother " look baby, i have some business in Europe, i'll leave you for some month, so I asked her to take care of you while I was away, and she was very happy if you stay with her " she said while she drink the coffee " mom, please!! I'm not a kids,i can take care of myself, just go mom, don't worry about me,i'll be fine to be here alone " you yelled " no baby,i can't leave you alone, how if your dad coming to you when i'm not here by your side, and what if he start to torture you again " she said, looking at me, i see a tears in her eyes My father, he’s not my biological father, but my stepfather, he always drunk and very temperamental, he always tortures my mom, slaps her, punches her, that's why me and my mom decide to leave him and went back to Seoul I don't know why, but he changed a lot, when I was little, he always protect me, he was a good stepfather for me, but everything has changed as I grew up, he started looking at me lustfully. Even one night he came to my room, slept beside me, and started to touched my body kissed my neck while his hand traveled all over my body I was so scared by him, i try to escape from his grip but he slapped my face so hard, my body was shaking so bad, i couldn’t hold my tears, i couldn’t believe it, he tried to rape his daughter I bite his ear so hard, he was groaned in pain, he touched his ear and see the blood covering his hand, i took the opportunity to run, to escape while he was checking his ear I ras as fast as i could, i ras outside with a tears flowing down my cheek When i was run, suddenly someone grab my wrist, then spun me, i was so scared if the person who grab my wrist is my father, i lifted my face to see what it was, and i'm so relieved since that person is my mom, i hug her, crying on her embrace I told her everything, the fact that he tried to rape me, my mom was shocked to hear that, she hugs me, crying so hard and didn’t stop apologizing to me. After that day, we leave him, and went back to Seoul " please baby, follow my order, I don't want something bad happen to you, i'm so scared if he came here when you’re alone, and try to rape you again " she said while rubbing my cheek Her voice awakened me from my past memories " ok mom, i'll follow your order " i said and hug her I know she was hurted, it was so hard to remember the past, i didn’t want to make her sad, didn’t want to see her cry " do you remember Mrs.Lika’s son? " she said broke the hug " son? does she have a son? I thoughts she live alone " i frowned " she have one, she have a son, and he has grown up well, so handsome " she said while caressing my hair " when you was a little, we always visit her family on summer, you and him always play together, sticking each other, you crying so hard when we have headed back to Chicago " she said with a smile on her lips " do i?? But I don't know, i can't remember it " i replied, tried to recall my childhood memories but i can't " so, i'll live with her son too? In her house? " i asked " no baby, he's not here, he live in US for study, and i don't know when he will come back " she replied, caressing my cheek and i nodded " ok, prepare yourself baby, we have to go to her house now " she said and i nodded I went to upstair for take a shower and get ready to visit Mrs.Lika’s house " baby, are you finish? " i heard my mom shouted at downstair " yes mom, wait " i replied and rushed go to downstair 30 minutes later we are arrive at Mrs.Lika’s house, my mom parked the car in the yard, we get out the car and walk to her house I knocked at the door, not long after she opened the door " omg, you are here " She pulled me into her embrace " nice to see you, how are you? " i broke the hug and greet her " i'm fine sweetheart, i'm so happy to see you both " she replied and start hugging my mom " come in, we can talk inside " she drag me and my mom to the living room, I sat on the couch beside my mom, while she went to the kitchen to make a drink for us " so when you will go to Europe?
