My Princessa

Chapter 61

Alex' Pov
2 weeks after the kidnapping
l opened the door to her room and sucked in a harsh breath. The sight hadn't changed in the last 2 weeks. The room was just as nostalgic. The pain that stabbed my heart was still as prominent if not more. l was breaking ,our whole family was falling apart.
Dad had slipped in a coma but they were slim chances of him surviving and we all believed that the only person who could aid in his recovery was Rosa. If Rosa were to talk to him then he would wake up. The search for Rosa always came back with no results but we didn't give up hope. l refused to accept that my sister was dead because they hadn't been any ransom calls.
l put a hand on my mouth trying to hold back the emotions that were threatening to overpower me. Our whole family was so lost with the both of them. We were all dying from inside.
"l miss you so much "l said while holding the teddy in her bed. Why did this happen to my sister. Why was she destined to get happiness in pieces. Why couldn't she ever get her happily ever after. My sister was doomed from the very day she was born. Everyone took and took from her. Even if we do find her and dad doesn't wake up, l can't imagine how she would ever be able to live without him.
If dad were here then maybe we wouldn't have been this shaken and disconnected. l know he would have kept us together and united. Till now l hadn't allowed myself to think about dad. l myself can't imagine a world where he isn't in my life. l spent 2 years without him and they were the hardest years of my life.
Dad has always been the structure holding us together. The glue that keeps us together, while Rosa is the source of our happiness. When Rosa smiles the whole room lights up but now this whole place was dark and stumbling down.
l know Rosa is strong but her life seemed to be hit by tumbling blocks every time she tried to stand. It was almost like happiness wasn't at her side. l remember how much she struggled 2 years back when mom took us away from here. She tried to stay strong for me but l could tell how unhappy she was. This is different though. She doesn't have me this time and whoever has her has the potential to hurt her.
l wish take her share of problems and worries and worse of all wish l was at her place.l wish l knew her condition wherever she was. None of us had an appetite because we wondered if she ate every time food was put in front of us. Sleep didn't come easy while we didn't know where she was sleeping.
Our enemies were winning because she were shattered.

.....

At first when l got the location l thought it was a trap but it was a risk l was willing to take. We hadn't had news about her for three months and the hope of ever finding her was diminishing. Dad hadn't woken up with and we were grasping on straws.
When we got to that room the smell hit us first and seeing her in that condition was heartbreaking.l wasn't used to crying but when she flinched away from me l cried. l cried for her and for us. We had her back but l wasn't sure if we truly had her back. She looked like a shell of what she was. My own sister was afraid of me. The girl who clinged on me like a koala couldn't stand being near me.
When she finally agreed to let me hold her, l couldn't help but rock her back and forth. My arms tight around her and l sobbed. She was so badly beaten and her eyes looked empty. l closed my eyes and took a deep breath. We were wasting time. l don't know who sent that location and why. In my gut l knew it was the kidnappers though. They were trying to play a game with us.
They broke my sister and brought her back as an empty shell and not just that, they succeeded into breaking our family apart but they made a mistake by bringing Rosa back because she was the reason of our happiness and now she would be the reason we got stronger together.
When we arrived home the ambulances were outside like l had requested. Rosa had fallen asleep on the way here but l still hadn't been able to let her go. l held her for dear life, afraid that someone would take her away from me.
She felt like when l was carrying her inside, barely weighing anything and fragile.
l could see that everyone wanted to see her but l couldn't let the see her in that condition. That memory would stay in their minds and l couldn't scar them like that. The guilt l felt already was too much and l couldn't let them feel it.
l held my siblings while my nonno held my nonna as the doctor worked on Rosa.As much as we were relieved, we were also on edge. We just got her back and we were just so afraid that maybe the wounds she sustained were untreated or something.
Whoever had done this had better run because once my sister got better l would go after them with everything l have. Whoever they are, they must have revealed themselves to Rosa and better yet they must have left a clue in that warehouse.
When the doctor broke the news about her being raped we all completely lost it. They had ruined my sister's life. l don't know how she'll come back from this but one thing for sure is that she had us. We will stand with her because she is the light of our lives and we won't let that light be extinguished.
