“Emmalyn’s POV”
“I was just joking, sexy. You must be tired b***h. Go and take a break,” he continued in his comical tone.
I wonder why Maya never felt jealous after witnessing her boyfriend's lecherous talk.
“Okay, see yuh,” I spat while waving a bye.
“Okay, babe. Call me when you are out tonight,” Maya spoke while giving me a tight hug.
I turned myself from them while smiling while directing my pace towards the changing room and got rid of the fighter suit and wore a piece of decent clothing.
I untangled my hair and combed it nicely. I left the fighter suit in the drawer designated for me and took my scooter.
I twisted its key and. The next moment, I was parking it near my house.
I froze on my feet for a bit as an unknown sensation started to form inside my heart.
Ignoring it, I marched towards the entrance gate. It’s when I heard the sound of the engine.
I elevated my gaze only to see an unfamiliar black colored SUV start moving just in front of my house.
I hurried my pace and went straight to my house. It was unusual. The door was locked.
My heart skipped a beat in fear as there was no response after knocking for the tenth time.
I kept digging in my bag; searching for the double key.
I sighed in relief when I caught the key. I inserted it in the keyhole and twisted the doorknob open.
“Mama,”
“Pa?” There was no response.
Where would they have gone?
Pa retired from his job 3 years back. I never let mama go out and buy any groceries. They had no one whom they could address as a relative or friend.
I kept searching for the house as I had a strong feeling that something wasn’t right!
My heart shattered into tiny little pieces, sending multiple heartaches at the same time when I saw both of my parents lying on the kitchen floor.
Blood is oozing from their bodies. When I looked closely, I found numerous wounds on Pa’s body, while a mark of a gunshot was on Pa’s forehead.
I lost balance on my trembling legs and fell beside Pa. I rested my head on his chest. I heard no heartbeat. He was dead. That’s when I started to cry foul.
“Emm...,” I snapped my head as immediately as Mama’s voice pierced through my ears.
I went crawling towards her and held her hand. She was struggling to speak. I placed my finger on her mouth.
“Please don’t waste your energy. I will try my best to help you ease your pain,” I spoke while sobbing.
I contacted Maya and asked for help from them. They were amongst the most wanted people, so they had to spend their lives hiding from the public.
Even though they couldn’t come, they contacted an ambulance and sent it to my home.
