Man-to-man conversation

George

I had absolutely no idea about what was coming to me. School was the time when I stayed away from home and that monster who would molest me every night. Last night, I had gathered enough courage to question him but that didn't turn out well. Deep down, I still loved him and couldn't see him in pain. After all, he was my biological father. The things he had gone through weren't at all pleasant. But the lame excuses he has put up for raping me is not acceptable at all. Katherine was precious to me and I had exposed myself in front of this man for my sister. I couldn't believe I am in this situation for 2 years. This has stopped me from making friends and even explore my own sexuality. My girlfriend broke up with me because I couldn't give her what she wanted. Whenever we would try to have sex, the face of my father would pop up in my head which would stop me from going any further. I never got to know if I was interested in girls or boys. I lost my girlfriend and also a handful of friends who were tired of my depression. It was finally time to revisit the devil's den as the school hours were over. But I wasn't expecting him to be all alone.

"Oh my young handsome boy! You are finally home! Go freshen up and get downstairs. We have a really serious man-to-man talk to have" he said

My heart skipped a beat after hearing that. A billion of questions arose in my mind trying to figure out what exactly had happened. Was it about yesterday night? Chill flowed through my nerves and I froze. His sharp voice caused me to shiver "CAN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID? GO FRESHEN UP AND COME TO ME IN TEN"

I couldn't disobey him as he held the keys to my life. My mother and sister were more important than anything to me. After freshing up, I sat on the sofa expecting him to begin the conversation.

" I suppose you haven't told anyone about our little romance right my son?"

"Of course I haven't , dad. Why would you say that?"

"Well one of your very handsome friend visited us today. He said he was from the student council convincing parents to let the students go to the study trip. But you know that your young man isn't a fool. He can clearly tell when a man was lying"

Oh my God. That was Richard. I didn't know Richard would even come to my house to carry out his investigation.

"Why would he say that he was lying? It is actually true. I turned down the trip offer as I didn't feel like. I never thought Richard would visit my home..."

"That young man was examining everything around the house, including me. I should let you know once again that no one should ever come to know about this. Take care of it as soon as you can. Otherwise, you are aware of the consequences"
