[ Chapter 12 ]


Although both Rome and Rita had just woke up from their sleep, it wasn't really morning anymore. The sun was shining so bright, it was more of an evening than an afternoon. Significant as it may be, the room had witnessed so many incident. Some were memorable while most of it were better left unknown. Worse, it is now forced to witness yet another sad story. How torturious it may be for that one white room. In the room with limited furnitures, Rita was now sitting on the bed looking at Rome. Worried that her past would haunt her back if she had recalled it but she knew, some words when spoken can't be taken back. Just as she wanted to start talking, it was as if the words are stuck at her throat. She was trying, trying real hard. Tears started flowing down her cheek so fast .. she needed to breathe.


"Shhh .. take your time. We're not in a hurry .. "


He shushed her. Still trying to console her as she was now sobbing.


"I'm so sorry .. I'm trying .. believe me .. I am .."

"I know .. I know .. no one is rushing you .. love." He held both her hands in his.

"Rita .. calm down now. I'm here, you see .. it's just me." He reassured her.

"Thanks .."


She was going to try again. This time, she tried breathing first. She felt a little bit better or maybe ready at some point.


"You ok?"

"Yeah."

"Just start whenever you want then."

"Ok .." She paused. "I was 5 when it happened .. trust me Rome .. I remembered every detail like it was just yesterday .."

"I thought I got a normal family you know .. a mum .. dad and a big brother. Everything just seemed so perfect that time. One day, my parents had to attend a function and I was having a fever. They asked my big brother to help take care of me. He agreed of course, being the angelic child in the family. Who would have known that .. he had other 'plans' for the night. He went up into my room late at night while I was still sleeping. At first, when he touched me, I thought he just wanted to check whether I was still having a fever or not. But I was wrong. His touch was getting more agressive, I started feeling pain. I cried as it was pain but he ignored me and started unzipping his pants. After that -- you just imagine the rest. My own brother raped me Rome! He even threatened to kill me if I ever told my parent! What was I to do then?? I was naive or was I just plain stupid?!?!"

"No, you're not stupid .. you were young .. no girl should have gone through that .. especially, you."

"You know what? I finally told my mother when I was 7, hoping she would understand me. But, she didn't seem to care. She just kept quiet about it. Fine, whatever I told myself. I'll live with this alone if I must. It's okay, I'm sure there's other girls out there suffering more than me .. I shouldn't fret on mine."

"You were so matured then Rita. I'm so proud of you .. truly, I am."

"But, I guess my thoughts weren't good enough Rome. I think it runs in my family to betray the ones they love. I was 13 then. Matured .. could even be considered as a young adult? I was never close to my dad though. He's not the role-model criteria. He was drunk one night, after watching some football games at his friend's house. I was nicely sitting on the couch watching tv when he suddenly walked towards me and pinned me down to the ground! He raped me .. it was very painful Rome. More painful that the one I've experienced when I was 5. My mother heard my screamings and ran down to find the carpet covered with blood. I was bleeding. S-she .. rushed me to the hospital .."


Rita couldn't bare the pain anymore. Her tears were flowing faster than before.


"Are you sure you want to continue this? You can stop now .. enough."


His heart aches looking at her sufferings.


"No." She stopped for a moment. "I'm ok."


Before she could continue, Rome stood up and sat right beside her -- he hugged her.


"I woke up the next day, still not fully conscious yet. The doctor and my mum was having a conversation right beside me -- they thought I was still sleeping. I heard what the doctor said. She said, what I've experienced was a violent rape. I got fitsula. The walls between my vagina, bladder and anus are torn .. I-I"

"Shhh .. you don't have to continue! DON'T!" Rome couldn't help his tears anymore.

"That is why .. I've been defensive all this time. Never letting my guard down whenever I'm with the male species. I HATE THEM! I truly do .. You want to see brutality? Open my chest and look at my heart!"

"I promise you love, I promise you .. I will never let you experience this anymore. I love you."


With tears still running down his cheek, he kissed Rita's forehead.

[ Chapter 13 ]


Rita was so tired of crying, weeping and sobbing. She wants to forget all of that. All of the bitterness in her life! How she wished that she could remember at least, a tiny bit of sweetness in it. None. The tears finally dryed up. Even is she had wanted to continue crying, she couldn't -- there were no more tears left in her.


"I'm so pathethic .. right?"

"No, you're not."

"I am. I just know it .. other people just move on but I couldn't .."

"Dear .. sometimes people put up walls. Not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down .."

" .. "

"Rita, listen to me .. look at me. You can keep building those walls of yours .. but everytime you do .. I'll break them down. I won't stop until you stop."


She was actually touched but, it's just so hard to believe .. finally, there's someone here for her? It's .. it's impossible!


"You're just saying that .. trying to console me and all .. I don't need it."


Rome was shaking his head in disbelief.


"Haih, you're impossible Rita! Such a stubborn lady aren't you? He chuckled.

"Yes, I am very stubborn .. what are you going to do then?"

"Erm .. nothing. But, that stubborn attitude means .. your not a perfect woman eh? Haha." He kept on teasing her.

"I never said that I was perfect!"

"Dear .. we come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly .."


Rome said that as he brush the hair out of her eyes.


"Rome .. I love you .."

"I love you too .."


It was certainly a memorable moment for the both of them. Being in love? That was the last thing which would have clicked their mind. Destiny had this planned all along and somehow, things went perfectly as planned. Two unfortunate people complete each other as one, sweet. Everything was going on very fine when suddenly a woman came crashing into the room!


"R-Rome .. run! Run!!"


The woman was still panting.


"Why? What happened Donna??"

"T-There's police here .. t-they a-are coming f-for you!"

"Huh? For Rome? Why?? What did he do??"

"Rita's parents filed for a police report .. saying that you kidnapped her!"

"My parents?"

"Yes! I heard it at the office earlier .. you guys better leave this area at once!"

"Erm .. I don't think it's necessary. She's over 18 already plus--"

"No! Donna is right! We better run for it Rome!"

"Why?"

"You must understand .. I-I'm still controlled by my father and older brother .. I can't escape. Once I'm back home .. I'll be locked in my room and get more beatings .."


Rita rolled up her sleeve and showed them her scars.


"See .."

"What the hell! Lets report to the police about this!!"

"No Rome! They won't believe us .. you're supposed to be the one kidnapping me now!"

"She's right Rome .. please listen to me. Go to the back of the hospital and run into the woods for now!"

"Ok. Thanks Don .. I owe you one .."

"Go! Go now!"

"Lets go Rita!"

"Uhm." She nodded.


Both of them run as fast as they could. They ran passed the corridors, other wards and the cafeteria. They were so fast, hoping that the police haven't found out about their escape yet. Not until they manage to reach the woods. Only then, they'll try to plan things out. Finally they were at that back of the hospital but Rome had forgotten one particular detail -- there was a huge metal fence. There's no turning back now, both of them started climbing over it. Their prediction were wrong, the police officers managed to keep up to their pace. Rome was at the other side of the fence already while Rita was still climbing her way through it. She was about to turn to the other side when she suddenly saw all the police that were chasing them. She was shocked and fell.


"Rita!! Are you okay??"

"Rome .. run!! Just run .. please! I don't want them to jail you!"

"NO! I won't leave you!"

"Just listen to me please .. just go. Please .. I'm begging you .."

"But--"

"No buts, just go!"

"I-I will come back and save you! Please wait for me!"


Rome quickly ran into the woods, leaving Rita on the other side of the fence. His heart aches with every pace he took. Within seconds, the polices were at the fence -- they handcuffed her. Worried that she would runaway again as she was to be given back to her 'family'.

[ Chapter 14 ]


"Rita!! Are you okay??"

"Rome .. run!! Just run .. please! I don't want them to jail you!"

"NO! I won't leave you!"

"Just listen to me please .. just go. Please .. I'm begging you .."

"But--"

"No buts, just go!"

"I-I will come back and save you! Please wait for me!"



Rome never stopped running since then. The trees in the wood looked scarier than usual, like they were going to capture him and return him back to the police. He didnt't noticed it though. Maybe, he just didn't bother caring anymore. His legs were doing the job for him, for his mind was pondering too far. He felt like he couldn't hear her heartbeat anymore. Being too far apart from here is just unbearable, especially the part having to leave her. That's not the worse part yet, he's afraid that the police would really send Rita back to her so-called-family.

His heart told him to stop, asking him to run back to Rita. Who cares if he gets jailed? He only wanted to be with her. At least, letting her know that he would always be there for her. Was he being selfish for leaving her? He hope not. He did that because Rita wanted him to do so. This hatred that he had for Rita's family was too much, that it started to give him a headache. His legs automatically stopped itself from running. Rome was till panting, he kneeled down with both his hands on his knees. He was now at the side of a river.


"Huh .. huh .. huh .. huh .."


Still panting, he forced himself to breathe. He thought it had started to rain but he was wrong. Those 'rain' was actually his own sweat. It was dripping one by one from his forehead till it fell the ground. His whole shirt was soaked with it. Not wanting to catch cold, he unbuttoned his shirt and threw it into the river; revealing his well-toned body.


Arghh .. I shouldn't have left you !!

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!

Why must everything turn out to be like this?!?



Rome was really annoyed. He balled up his fist and started punching the tree trunk. One punch after another, both of his fist started to bleed. Not planning to stop, he walked towards the river and jumped into the water. He was not going to commit suicide, rather trying to find a peace of mind. He stayed down there for quite some time ..


I'm coming .. love.


--


Back at the hospital, there were not many audience to the incident. Considering the fact tha it was a mental hospital, most patients are in their designated room while the doctors and nurses are too busy to even have any knowledge about the incident itself. Rita, with both her hand still cuffed, we escorted to the police cruiser. Before she was forced to enter the car, she managed to catch a glimpse of a familiar face. She was almost a family to her, Donna. Just from Donna's facial expression, she saw how worried she was. Not wanting to burden the caring doctor anymore, she gave out a smile. Telling her that, she's ok .. don't worry too much. Her smile was too fake, it clearly didn't work.


"Sir, where are you taking me to?"


Rita asked both of the police officer who were seating in front of her. They looked at each other, then the one on the driver seat spoke while looking at her through the car mirror.


"Miss Rita, we'll be heading back to the police station .."

" .."

"Be assured though, your family is waiting for you eagerly there."

"That's what I'm worried about .." She said it so soft, it almost sounded like a whisper.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing .."


Few hours past before they reached the police station. Different from the previous experience with Rome, this time .. she didn't sleep at all. She was escorted into the police station again where she saw two satan waiting for her. They looked as if they were so worried and happy that she's finally 'found'. She knew it better than anyone else in the world, that was all an act. An act to deceive the police. When the police finally uncuffed her, they gave her back to her family -- where her brother kindly took her and hugged her. She tried to struggle but then he whispered ..


"You try to be funny .. and I'll kill both you and mum, together."

I couldn't help but cry. It was too emotional. My friend was raped at a very young age too, it was the hardest thing I had ever listen to my whole entire life when she told me and a few others. I didn't want to force her to tell but all I did was tell her, "I am here with you at all time if you need any help." She wasn't raped just once, 1st was a family friend and by her middle school ex-boyfriend. But now she is married. Her husband was being an ass at first but thank goodness he still loved her.
