The police took me back to the address I had given them, but when we arrived, I was shocked to find that the house had new tenants.
They were surprised to see me, and I was surprised to see them. I explained the situation to the police, and they questioned the new tenants.
They claimed they had just moved in a week ago and knew nothing about me or my family.
I was stunned. It was as if I had never existed in that house. I asked to see the landlord, hoping he could provide some answers. The police took me to his office, but he claimed he had never seen me before.
I was starting to feel like I was going crazy. I knew I had lived in that house with Senzo and his wife. I knew I had given birth to Lunar. But now, it seemed like none of that had ever happened.
The police tried to reassure me, telling me they would do everything they could to find my family. They took me to the station and asked me to file a missing person's report. I filled out the paperwork, providing as much detail as I could about Senzo, his wife, and Lunar.
The police launched an investigation, but as the days went by, they found nothing. No trace of Senzo, his wife, or Lunar. It was as if they had vanished into thin air.
Some investigators suggested that Senzo might have escaped the country, taking his wife and my child with him. Others thought it was possible that they were dead, that something terrible had happened to them.
But I knew the truth. I knew that Senzo stole my baby.
I thought that leaving the country would help me start afresh, that it would give me a chance to heal and move on from the pain of losing Lunar. I settled into a new routine, trying to focus on the present and not dwell on the past.
But the pain was still there, lingering just below the surface. I tried to keep busy, to distract myself from the ache in my heart, but it was always there, waiting to pounce.
One day, I was out running errands when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. I doubled over, gasping for breath, and that's when I felt it - a kick. A tiny foot or hand, pressing against my belly.
I was shocked, confused. I hadn't felt this sensation in years, not since I was pregnant with Lunar. I stumbled to the nearest hospital, barely making it through the doors before I collapsed.
When I woke up, I was in the labor ward, surrounded by doctors and nurses. And then I saw them - three tiny babies, lying in incubators beside me. Triplets.
I was stunned, unable to process what was happening. I had been pregnant? How? I hadn't even known. The doctors told me that I had been in a coma for several days, that the babies had been born prematurely but were healthy.
I looked at the three tiny faces, and something inside of me shifted. I felt a sense of purpose, of responsibility. I had lost one child, but I had been given three more. I knew that I would do anything to protect them, to give them the best life possible.
The pain of losing Lunar was still there, but it was no longer the only thing I felt. I felt a sense of hope, of renewal. I knew that I would never forget my first child, but I also knew that I had to move forward, for the sake of these three tiny humans who were now depending on me.
As I looked at the three tiny babies, something inside of me snapped. I felt a wave of panic wash over me, and I started to scream. I screamed at the top of my lungs, my voice hoarse and raw.
'No, no, no!' I shouted. 'This is a plot! He's trying to torture me again! He stole my other baby, and now he's trying to drive me crazy with these ones!'
I started to hallucinate, seeing Senzo's face everywhere. I saw him standing in the corner of the room, laughing at me. I saw him holding one of the babies, taunting me with my child.
'You'll never have them!' I screamed, lunging at the hallucination. 'You'll never take them away from me!'
The doctors and nurses tried to restrain me, but I fought them off. I was like a wild animal, consumed by grief and rage.
'Get them away from me!' I shouted. 'Get them away! They're not mine! He's trying to trick me!'
I was creating chaos, like a madwoman. The hospital staff were trying to calm me down, but I was beyond reason. I was lost in my own world of pain and paranoia.
One of the doctors tried to inject me with a sedative, but I fought him off. I was determined to stay awake, to stay aware. I didn't want to be tricked again.
'You're not going to take me down with your drugs!' I shouted. 'I know what you're trying to do! You're trying to make me forget! But I won't forget! I'll never forget what he did to me!'
The scene was chaotic, with doctors and nurses trying to restrain me and calm me down. But I was unstoppable, fueled by my grief and my rage.
After months of counseling, I was finally able to return home, armed with the tools to cope with my grief and trauma. I returned with my three tiny miracles, the triplets who had brought me a sense of purpose and joy. I went straight to my mom's house, knowing that she would be overjoyed to see me and meet her new grandbabies.
As I walked through the door, my mom's face lit up with a smile. She rushed to hug me, tears of joy streaming down her face. 'My baby's home,' she whispered, holding me tight.
I smiled, feeling a sense of peace wash over me. I knew that I still had a long way to go, but for the first time in a long time, I felt like I was exactly where I was meant to be.
But little did I know, fate had one more surprise in store for me. As I was catching up with my mom, I heard a knock on the door. It was the police, come to inform me that my husband was brutally stabbed and is in a coma, and he might not survive. Senzo's first wife burnt herself to death, and my son, Lunar, was injured in the hospital.
