"Mama,"
"What is it, Zara, my darling?" My mom responded while caressing my small hands.
We were both in our garden, sitting on the bench while admiring the beautiful Luna. The night sky is very calming and I love that feeling.
"Are there two worlds, mama?" I asked in my very tiny voice, still looking at Luna, chuckling. Just admiring luna made me so happy.
I was five back then and I'm very curious about everything. I was innocent about everything, but that was back then when I was still a kid. When I opened my eyes to the world, everything changed the way I used to admire it when I was still young.
Everything changed when that incident happened.
"MAMA!" I shouted while my tears are flowing like falls down my cheeks. I kept calling my mom but she won't respond. Her body was on the ground, covered with red...B-blood?! I kept pushing my mom so she will move but she didn't.
I looked at my hands covered with blood and just kept on crying. Those people.. Bad people! T-they hurt my mom!
"S-somet-hing came out i-in their h-hand," I told Papa. It was 3rd day already when that happened when those bad people hurt my mama. "L-like water and i-it then t-turned t-to a-an sh-harped thing, Papa," my face is again wet with all of my crying. "T-then they h-hurt mama with t-that" I once again let out loud sobs and cried on my dad's shirt. He was trying to calm me down but I can't.
I overheard my dad talking to a doctor, after. And I heard something about trauma. Of course, as a kid. I didn't know about that but now I can finally understand what they said that day.
"Miss Zara has homophobia, sir. It has been caused by the traumatic incident involving blood and Mrs, Hernandez." The doctor said.
I have had hemophobia since that day. I'm afraid of blood.
[Hemophobia usually begins in childhood and is often caused by trauma involving blood, either directly or vicariously. A person may be at higher risk of phobia due to genetics, gender, experiencing trauma involving blood at a young age, and having comorbid psychoneurotic disorders.]
