Anele May have been able to hide her true feelings from Bai and everybody else, she could not hide them from herself. She cared what her parents wanted and wanted to have a better relationship with them but it hurt that they never believed her. They believed her when she told them at first about who had impregnated her but as soon as Kenji denied the accusations and the Himura's disgraced them, they accused her of lying. They accused her of being a fast child who cheated on her girlfriend and used her brother. They have never said it but they only supported her because they did not want to be judged by their community for abandoning their daughter.
" Why didn't you bring the twins?"
He father asked her as soon as she stepped into her childhood home. Her father never said much to her when she came over and was surprised by this question, it took her a minute to reply back.
" They have a sleepover with Bai and her sister's children. One of her niece's is having a birthday party tomorrow which starts tonight."
" I see."
Her father went outside and she headed into the kitchen where she could hear her mother cooking. Anele was surprised by the amount of food her mother had prepared.
" Who's coming over?"
" The Himura's hence we called you over, thought your father told you."
To say she was shocked by this was an understatement. Her parents behaviour towards her, was once again influenced by the Himura family.
" You called me over for the Himura's?"
" Yes, I was thinking you could apologise to them for the past since they are obviously reaching out to mend the good relationship we used to have."
Anele did not know whether to cry or laugh. Her parents were delusional when it came to the Himura family. When they found out she was close to the Himura's daughter, they encouraged it.
" I can't believe you right now. After everything they did to me, I'm the one who should apologise?"
" Yes, you wrongfully accused their son of doing something despicable and we're lucky that their back talking to us again."
" You know sometimes I really wonder if you gave birth to me. You can have dinner with them, I want nothing to do with those people."
Her mother tried to stop her but Anele swerved and headed to the door only to be met with Kenji, the father of her twins and her rapist, walking up to her front door. As Anele saw Kenji approaching her front door, a wave of fear and anger washed over her.
" Anele!"
She could feel her mother's desperate pleas ringing in her ears, but something inside her was determined not to let him get any closer. It was a moment that embodied both terror and a fierce sense of defiance.
" Where are you going?"
Without hesitating, Anele quickly changed course, swerving away from Kenji and darting towards a different exit. The kitchen door that led to the back yard. Thank goodness her parents had put a gate in the back that led into their neighbour's yard when they were children. So they did not need to walk around to go play with the neighbour's children and risk getting hit by a car.
" Anele please wait."
Kenji said following behind her. Every fiber of her being screamed at her to escape, to put as much distance between herself and him as possible. Her heart pounded in her chest, fueled by a mix of adrenaline and the agonizing memories of the past.
" Anele I'm not here to hurt you."
His voice trailed behind her, but Anele shut it out, focusing solely on making her way to safety. Kenji's mere presence sent shivers down her spine.
