Victim

"Right! You, may I know your name?"
"Colin, Colin Morgan. I'm a student at the Faculty of Arts, majoring in fine arts!"
"What are you doing here?" Soraya asked. She immediately asked the question after seeing the strange behavior shown by this young man.
Hearing Soraya's question, he was silent and looked down as if he was worried about something. Soraya didn't know what really happened to this young man and what really happened between him and Joshua.
"I have to go!" He said as he walked away with a panicked face. Seeing this young man about to leave, Soraya immediately grabbed his hand and forced him to stop.
"Wait, don't go yet! I have something to tell you!"
"I'm on business! Let go of your hand!" He said as he tried to pull his hand away.
"Please! This is very important! You can't just walk away before explaining it to me!"
"What should I say? I don't care about you, let go of your hand or I'll hit you...!"
"You bastard...! You want to hit me, huh? I'll be the one to hit me first! How dare you run away after what you did to me!"
Buuukkk...
Soraya punched the young man very hard right in the face. The young man fell down on the grass, not expecting Soraya to actually hit him.
"Tch, damn it...! What are you doing? Why did you hit me?" He screamed wincing in pain holding the corner of his bloody lips.
Soraya felt very angry, she did not know why she could be so angry. Seeing this young man, for some reason she began to blame this young man for what had happened to him. Soraya thought that if she hadn't seen Joshua beat her up then, she wouldn't have gone through all this.
His eyes were wet, his body was shaking, his hands were clenched into fists as if preparing for another blow.
"Where's Josh? Where's that bastard?"
"I don't know where he is!"
"Lies...! You know where he is right? Where is that bastard...?"
"I told you I don't know! Why are you insisting? Weren't you the last time you saw him that night? I passed out, I don't know what happened!"
Soraya's body trembled, her legs felt very weak. She is losing hope. Before that, she really didn't want to see Josh again. But now she wished Josh would show up so she could tell the police she was behind all this trouble.
Soraya sat limply on the grass. Now she didn't know what to do. She had already told Mrs Carla about the r**e she had experienced and Mrs Carla would definitely tell the police. Soraya felt this was pointless, the police would definitely not believe her confession. Moreover, the perpetrator disappeared without a trace and there was no one eye witness to the incident. In addition, the scars on her neck and body have also faded, it will definitely be difficult if an examination is carried out.
"Why are you so frustrated? What happened to you? Did he do something bad to you while I was unconscious?"
Soraya looked down sadly, her tears flowing. It was useless, Soraya felt that all of this was useless. Soon the police will definitely ask her to come back to the police station for questioning.
"He r***d me in that warehouse!"
"What? Really?"
"I told the head of the dormitory and I also told about you, soon the police will definitely-"
"Why did you tell? Tch, damn it! I was deliberately hiding this matter so that no one would know!"
"Why are you hiding? Wouldn't it be better if we reported it together to the police? Your wound-free is still quite visible, if examined would definitely-"
"Damn it! That will not work, i***t! After all it's all your fault for passing by that place at the wrong time! Don't involve me with all your troubles!"
"What did you say? Don't involve you? Weren't you trying to run away when that bastard dragged me into the warehouse? Now you're pretending like nothing happened!"
"He's done that to me many times and I never intended to report it to the police. After all it was my problem with him and it was my fault. If I had given him the money I promised he would not have hit me. Then I won't have to deal with him anymore!" He said as he stood up.
"Can't you help me? If we both reported it the police would probably believe it!"
"Listen, I don't want anything to do with the police! For now I feel safe. I don't care about your problem and I beg you, don't try to involve me. Do you understand?"
"What's going on here?" Asked Robert who suddenly appeared like a ghost, walking from the side with cold eyes.
Suddenly, Soraya and Colin immediately turned to him and were forced to stop their conversation.
"Mr Stanley?" Soraya muttered. She didn't know, why Robert was here? It worried her if Robert overheard their conversation.
"Tch, I have to go!" Colin rushed off as Robert approached them.
Soraya was rooted to the spot, her body starting to go numb. Her hope which was only a little left, was now completely destroyed.
"Why did you come here?"
"I was waiting at the place I said, but you didn't come either. You didn't pick up the phone either. I was worried and immediately looked for you here!"
"I'm fine! I'll be right there. If anyone saw the two of us here, someone would definitely suspect!"
"There's no reason to be suspicious. What did you talk to him about?"
"He was the one who was with me when Joshua Peterson r***d me that day!"
"Is that true?"
"Yes! He fainted from being beaten by Joshua. That's why he didn't see what Joshua did to me. I asked him to report the abuse we both experienced that day, but he refused!"
"Why did he refuse?"
"I don't know! He just thinks it's none of his business because Joshua has disappeared and he feels that he is free now!"
"Is that so?"
"What should I do? I've already told Mrs Carla everything that happened to me and the r**e. What if the police question me again about the matter and I don't have solid evidence to show that I'm the victim here!"
