"this will be your room, two of you or you guys want a separate room?" irene look at gayle, there are in irene house. yep! she's with imee and gayle after irene paid the hospital bill of imee, irene suggested that the two should stay on her even for the mean time. irene just want to make sure that the condition of imee will remained good and the fact that imee wasn't fully healed is the most reason why i Irene want the two stay with her.
she's not doing this because her sister is imee, well perhaps. but the truth is gayle begged her to help them which irene can't say no after all they used to be family. Irene already called bong to informed what's happening
at first bong got mad, yep he is. when imee left irene the only person who stay and accept irene wholeheartedly is bong, he's the one who save her and bong can't believe that imee left irene that's why.
"come on irene you don't have to let them live to your house, you already paid for her hospital. you've done enough and i can't believe that your being too kind now. remember she hurted you" bong said, irene can understand why bong acting this way.
"but she still our ate bong and her condition is worst. you should visit her then you'll see"
"i will never visit her irene, come on!"
"okay okay calm down, i know and bong listen this only for weeks then afterwards she can leave again"
"your hurting yourself irene"
"i'm not bong. i'm helping"
Irene can heard bong sighed.
"you don't have to worry bonget i'm now good. i don't need her anymore. i'm already happy now with my life especially on our family"
"i understand but bunso take care of yourself hmmm"
"i know bonget. bye!"
"bye! i love you irene"
"i love you too bong"
but Irene didn't know that imee heard everything, she was there behind the door. imee was un-intentionally heard everything but what she heard from irene was enough to tear her heart apart.
"no uhm this room was enough for us" imee said fidgeting her fingers, she can't look to the eyes of irene.
imee knew that the irene she was facing right now is not the irene she was with before, everything changed and she will never turn back the past again, it's been 5yrs but the aftermath of the memories of that night still lingering on imee's ears.. she regretted everything, she regretted walking away that night. she was jerk and she don't deserve anything
but if it was too much if she's wishing for the forgiveness came from irene?
"that's nice. now, you both rest and i'll go prepare the dinner" irene said and no any further questions coming from imee she pushed the wheelchair and let it inside, once they got inside irene look at imee.
"you need help?" irene asked, imee was still in hurt ofcourse and the bruises all over her body are not helping her.
"uhm no, i can do this" imee said then she attempt to stand but she was close to stumble but thanks to irene that hold her waist.
"asking for help won't kill you, your stubbornness does" Irene said, imee preventing not to smile. this side of irene is the side she misses for 5yrs.
if only irene knows what happened that night, if only irene knows how imee regretted everything. that night she left irene was painful, yup! she made a decision that she was ready, but that was a lie because the moment she heard another girl moaning from tommy's room imee knows she fucked up everything that's why she immediately rushed back from their home but when she came back she saw nothing but a bracelet that owned by irene that gave by imee.
she stayed on their home that night, imee was hoping that irene will go back to their house when the daylight touched the glass from their home but, no. irene didn't came back. imee did every possible way to find irene, she also tried to find bong but no. she didn't find anything but tommy did find imee.
tommy forcefully dragged imee to his life, tommy wants imee to be his slave. at first imee fight againts him but the moment tommy threatened her that the kid inside her womb will be dead if she won't agree. there's no any further. she agreed. imee suffers on her whole pregnancy journey, tommy forcefully fucking her even she was already 7months pregnant. she's still doing the chores in their house even she's suffering due to the pain of her pregnancy, tommy didn't mind her. he's beating imee once he saw imee sleeping or even sitting on the couch.
imee can't do anything but to accept the fact that she was already in the cage of tommy, if only she listen to irene she will never be in here. the tommy she met 2months ago is not the tommy she's with right now. everything changed and she was cursing herself for being dumb, imee can't fight against tommy that even she tried, it will end up tommy beating her over and over or even pointing a gun on her head
when imee gave birth on gayle, it feels like a survival for her. she's not sleeping at night for her to eye on her daughter, she doesn't want tommy to came near her or even her daughter but that become not easy for her because tommy is the father of gayle at first, imee hope that the only key for tommy to change is her daughter but nope, he didn't change. every night he's still fucking someone. different ladies every night while imee was suffering in the stock room because that's the only available room for her and her daughter.
imee was allergic on dust so everytime she always have sick and rashes on her body but imee endured everything, she endure how tommy beating her or not even letting her eat anything but imee always making sure that gayle will be always good, there's no way she will also let her daughter suffer.
another 5yrs passed, she endured everything as well as her daughter. she was crying every night because of her bruises and the blood dripping from her body, tommy obsession for imee become worst, not obsession with love because tommy obsession to imee is to beat her. every day there's always a new bruishes, there's always a new things broken because tommy slammed it or even throw something on it and gayle witnessed everything.
how her mom crying while the blood are in her face that made gayle traumatized and she was also crying because her mom needs to endured everything, but gayle was genius she wants to fight for her mom.
and in that one day, Gayle prepared coffee for tommy but the moment tommy about to hand the cup in his hand when gayle pour the boiling water on his penis making tommy cried and yelled in pain.
imee alert when she heard the whaling sounds coming from tommy so she immediately rushed from where gayle was, there she saw that tommy about to beat gayle when imee slapped him causing tommy to stopped and looked at her.
a strong slap landed on imee face making imee face slammed on the table causing her forehead to bleed, imee groaned but this time she chooses to fight, she punch the face of tommy but tommy was too strong to grab the bottle in his side and slammed it on imee's head but that didn't stop imee because imee kick the penis of tommy causing tommy to cried in pain and at that moment, she fight for herself and for her daughter so when tommy growling in pain imee took the chance to escape with her daughter but the moment they reached the street, imee passed out and when she woke up. she already in the hospital.
"imee are you okay" imee flinched when irene cold finger touched her arms.
"hmmm what" imee said looking at the eyes of irene, she wanted to cry she wanted to tell everything but her lips cannot form any word.
"are you okay? you want me to change your clothes into pjs?" imee can't read the expression of irene. is she worried or not???
"uhmm..."
"okay that's enough i'll change your clothes" then irene about to stood up when imee grabbed her hand.
"irene.....thanks"
irene didn't smile but she did speak "I'm doing this for gayle" that's the only words came from irene before leaving imee in the room, who's now sobbing.
