Koemi gets startled and says to Harue to stay quiet. She slowly opens the closet door and gets out and closes it so the man does not see Harue. Suddenly the man grabs Koemi hairs. She yelps in pain. By hearing her voice Harue gets started and slowly opens her close door a little bit to see what was going on outside. She saw someone grabbing her mother's hair and her mother was crying while shouting to let go of her hair. Harue was feeling like her world was falling apart. After a while her mother was out of her sight she became like a statue. Her mind was still calculating what she had seen. Suddenly reality hit her hard. She realised what was happening at the moment. She started to panic she was still inside the closet she couldn't move her legs. Her legs gave up because she was afraid that the man would do something to her and her mother. Harue goes out of her closet and starts to search for her father. Her mind was filled with negative thoughts. She gets out of her room securing that everything is alright. She started searching for her father. She thought he was the only one who could save her and her mother now. She searched all the rooms while not comming in contact with that man. Suddenly a thought came to her mind what if her father ran away and left them in this situation. Because he was not anywhere when she woke up she could only see her mother around her what if now he does not care about them. Because he fought with her mother later this evening. These thoughts had put stress in her mind. She started to get anxious and depressed. Dear took control on her mind. Her mind starting creating scenario she didn't wanted to see. Her mind was starting to blame her father for what's happening to her now. But what more scarier to her was not that she have checked all over the house there was no sign of her mother she was all alone in the house. She didn't even care now if that strange man found her or she gets killed suddenly. She only cared about where her mother was. Her lovely mother cannot be seen. She haven't heard the voice of her mother and father which gives her strength. She started to search again in the house incase she missed a room or a place where her mother would be. She checked all over the house but not even a single person was there now the anxiety took over her mind. She couldn't think of anything her eyes teared up she sat down sobbing loudly. Suddenly the thought of the thought of the garden came into her mind. She was about to head towards the garden but heard her mother scream she got up even though her legs gave up. She ran towards the direction where the sound came from. She ran there like her life depend on how fast she will run. She reached at the spot where the voice came from looked around the place desperate to find her mother. Suddenly her eyes stopped at the scene that was heartbreaking. Her mother lying on the ground with blood all over the place she collapsed on. And her father beside her mother shielding her like he was saving the treasure of his life he found after many hardships. The father she thought had run away was here injured saving his wife and child. Harue was ashamed to let those thoughts take over her mind. She thought she was not the ideal daughter of her parents. She was standing there cursing herself for saying things about Yami. She saw all around the area if someone was outside so she can ask for help. She saw her parents move a bit so she rushed towards them even though she was scared to see blood. She was crying very loudly each step she took her sobbing became louder. Gradually she came close to her parents body. Suddenly all strength in Harue body was gone like there was no strength from the start. Harue stopped crying and the only thing came from her mouth was a loud scream. She screamed until her voice became hoarse.She was a total mess crying, shouting doing whatever so that sorrow will decrease but it didn't even decreased a bit not even a neighbour came for their help. She was crying when she heard a voice.
