It Was Love: Complete

Chapter 20

" Yokav, I'm sorry, but what did I say wrong?" I asked, holding his rough hands, covered in blisters, and scratches. " You just...you just lied to me about your whole life for a bad cause. I couldn't understand why....."

" You don't know anything about me, so don't.Judge.Me!" he scowled. " You really think I would I want to do this? Do you?" I didn't say anything, but stayed quiet," Let me tell you the story of my very own life instead of that ass Edwin! Okay!"

" Okay," I answered, anxious to know the truth from Yokav, finally. He took a deep breath, resting his head on his head, still holding my hands with his. :) 

" My family is still alive, living in France. They were never dead except for my little sister Safina," Yokav, wiped his eyes, as tears were welling up. " They left me in Russia, to join the army, forcefully, without giving me a chance to follow my dreams to become a writer. I didn't listen to them, and ran away, leaving Russsia, for America." 

" Which part?" I interrupted him.

" New York, or New Jersey!" He replied.

" That's nice! What happened next?" 

" When I was waiting for my flight, my father found me...and gathered all my uncles to.....to...." Yokav eyes were red, his hands were trembling. I let go of his hands, and hugged him close to me, closing my eyes, imagining how his cruel uncles scarred his body with knives. " they..they....took me to a deserted building, at a gun point, and...and...used their..their knives to pierce my skin, deeply. Five of my uncles who took cared of, treated me as their own son, including my own father, almost killed me," Yokav sobbed, making me weep quietly, wetting his shoulders, with my tears. " A..after that, they left me on the spot, pouring acid on my face, disfiguring my original face forever." 

" This is not your real look, Yokav?" I asked in disbelief, feeling Yokav's face, understanding the pain of acid poured on to his gentle skin.

" Half my face was messed up, I had to undergo exactly twenty five surgeries, just to....to look better." 

" I'm so sorry Yokav, I really am," I cried, still holding on to him," please forgive me, Yokav, I'm so sorry!"

" After that, my family left for France, leaving Safina with one of my uncles for time being until, my father could make the money. While I was living in the hospital, I later found out that Safina past away from a disease, two years later, from my cousin, Edwin." Well that explains a lot! 

" So why choose the NNS group when you could have still followed your dreams Yokav?" I asked, rubbing his back gently, feeling his deep cuts. 

" Revenge!"
