You Are Forgiven

"What did you say?" Mr. Dioko finally found his words, his gaze stuck unbelievingly at Allie.

"Yes, sir. You heard me correctly. "

Allie's head remained bowed down even as she tried to take a deep breath. She was already expecting the worst. In any moment now, she was expecting a fatal blow. She prepared her mind that she could be hit hardly, kicked or mauled. She even expected the worst, to be shattered by hundred bullets. Mr. Dioko's anger wouldn't surely be appeased with just few slaps. Whatever his reaction would be, she could understand. Even if Mr. Dioko knew that he deserved the iron bars for a lifetime, no human could help himself from breaking into rage once he is faced with the one who caused his downfall and miseries.
