CHAPTER 5

(Menzoni P.O.V)

"BOMB!"

After that scary moment that I would never forget for the rest of my life after he did it, I ran to mum and started shouting out loud...

One of his two subordinates who was standing behind enjoying the show looked at the boss and said with the same evil smile:'' Shall we kill his lovely daughter too? It'd be more fun! I wonder how'll react when he goes back home sweet home''.

I stepped back horrified.

While his boss laughed and said:'' No need, that will be a little mean if we kill a kid, but we will the next time that man isn't going to do what did we tell him to do like now... Let's go now!'' When They were going out quickly like they're afraid to face the police...

I was about to say to them:'' You criminals! Don't you have hearts? ''How could you kill a human being? How could you kill the best mother in the world? How could you kill my own mother?''

But I couldn't, I was afraid, totally speechless, I was a coward, I feared that they will change their minds and kill me too, I was so clumsy back there, I didn't run to mum's phone and call the police, I couldn't do anything, and I was there, all by myself, crying, moving mum's body and shouting:'' Mum, please wake up, I cannot live without you, please stop pretending that you're dead, mum, I know that you're still alive'' I started then understanding and giving in, but I whispered:'' Mum!''.

I couldn't believe that I was so useless there, I couldn't do anything to save my mother!!! After minutes, I heard suddenly someone's running-steps, it was fast like that person ran away after he saw a gang right in front of him! He started screaming, his voice was so familiar to me, It's him! It was him! Dad left the house without calling or at least visiting back... He shouted:'' Nola! It's time to take our baggage and the girl and run instantly! There's a gang will come here at any moment...''

He entered the house, I looked at him, he was afraid and when he saw her, he ran to her and said:'' Oh! I'm so sorry Nol! Please forgive me...'' I started crying and screamed:'' Dad! Why wouldn't we take her to the hospital? The doctors will certainly treat her! I'm sure of that!'

-''No dear... It's too late now''

-''I'm sure that they're going to bring back her to life... Let us just try! Please daddy! At least try!!! We can't watch her like that...''

He hopelessly put his hand on my forehead and said:'' I know your feeling about that dear... But have to accept that destiny...''

He stood up and said:'' Take all your clothes quickly and get ready, we're going to move, right now''
