Ivan's POV
I was so devastated, after hearing the heartbreaking story of Tonia and the little girl who had told me about it. Describing how I'm feeling about the whole thing as being downcasted is an underestimation.
When I made up my mind to go to law school and become a lawyer, It wasn't to tackle issues like this because I thought they no longer existed in our time but no, I'm wrong. I've been wrong about it all this while, focusing on other law cases.
It's been a long time since I felt this sorrowful about something that made me crave so much alcohol to numb the sorrow which made me head over to a nearby restaurant, ordering for a few bottles of beer.
As I drank the beer at the table close to the entrance of the restaurant which was kind of in an open place, I went lost in deep thought about the issue, how to go about it, and successfully save Tonia, the little girl she had saved from this hellhole, and preventing others from falling victim to similar situations.
