I was hiding in one of the corners of the dark and empty room, soar skin,weak joints,bulgy eyes,cracked lips and a destroyed mind with my head in between my knee I sobbed like the child I was.

A tall dark masculine man walked into the cold room "you idiot get up"he dragged me by her hair.

My heart beat accelerated, i knew I was in deep mess,how could i have forgotten to lock the door,at least I he would have tried hard to open it but to drunk to figure a way out,might just give up and walk away but no instead she left the door again.

How many times will I warn you not to hide from me,you stupid girl,how dare you disrespect me" he barked more like a statement than a question.

You ugly slave"he continued while I just stare at him,yes he was drunk again,very this time around. Most times he had come home late and sleep off at one of the couch and other times to drunk to find his way back to the house.

I was already used to living alone,his presence gifted me nothing but pain yes he was a hook on the neck and i needed to report him to the police as soon as i get hold of the phone.

He pulled my hair harder causing me to scream in pain and hot tears shot down my cheeks."

You know you should talk back at least give me a damn answer when am talking"he landed his fist on my face causing me to collapsed.

I fell flat on the floor and everywhere gradually darkened.

Are you feeling better?'' the man on a white coat and a black pair of pants asked as I tried to survey her environment.

Don't worry you are safe,you were rushed to the hospital by your dad,his so worried about you. how do you feel now?he asked worriedly

I nodded my head implying that
I felt better but held my head and shot my eyes close. he notice my gradual respond and spoke in concern "don't worry the headache will be gone soon"he assured. Do you recall anything? your dad said he saw you laying flat on the floor.

I couldn't say a word because I don't speak, a lot I want to say,i wanted to tell him to help me, I was sick and tired of being abused by my dad l, I need freedom,freedom other kids have, I want to be able to go to school without his boys following me around, I want to be able to have friends, I wanted to fall in love like other kids. Tears rush down my cheeks as thought of a never arriving freedom cloud me.

"Its okay,you will be fine. I should call your dad,am sure he is still worried."

I glared at him,i was begging him to read true my wounds,i  stopped speaking when i was four. I had no one to talk to and got enclosed in my own mind. I barely remember what my own voice sounds like,a lot of times i tried to speak but my fears surrounded me, fear always defeated me.

I swallowed the pills immediately without water and looked away from the Doctor.

That's harmful don't do that next time ''he warned but only won a nod from me.
***
My body felt numb every attempt to turn was a waste,hots tears ran down my cheeks,she tasted her own tears making her cry the more. I wanted to scream,to free myself from this cell,to tell the world my problems but he threatened me, the day
I open my mouth i will breath my last.
***
"Doctor is my daughter okay" he asked.

"She's awake now but am concerned as to why she has countless scars on her body and won't speak,I think someone is abusing your daughter,how close are you two?"he questioned

Very, very close am the only one she talks to,Doctor,abuse?none that I know of,I have been very busy at work lately

"You know very a little makes a mickle '' you should talk to her,get her to tell you what's wrong, her eye's. I just sense she's hiding something sir" he replied calmly.
Yes I will do just that Dr
.
"Please watch her closely from now on, you can take her home later in the evening,she's going to be fine"he added and walked away.

"He heaved a sigh of relieve,so much confident for a Dr, apart from earning a degree he is trying to poke his short nose in my personal life,she's my daughter and I will do whatever I choose" he sighed the second time and walks towards the female ward But stops on his track when he heard one of the nurses seeking for Mynah Maliki data,she was asked to get it by Dr Andrey.

🐰Mynah..🐰

I tried moving for what seemed like forever but I couldn't get my feet to move,I wanted to run,run far away from him. I mean my dad,but my legs failed me.

I felt hurt,I was hurting everywhere. why did life choose sides I want to be the one sleeping deep down under the earth and not my mum. I open my eyes and spot him from a distance,he was approaching my bed.

Get up he almost yelled but it was obvious he was trying to contain his anger,he was always disgusted by my presence,either drunk or sober I am still the bad Mynah. His mistake.

I pulled myself together trying harder to lift my body,I don't want to get hurt anymore. Ifelt sour and sick.
He looked away from me as I started to tear up. A nurse worked in looking flamboyant and well dressed in her sparkling white uniform with a wheel chair.

"You should use the wheel chair for now,she will find it a little difficult to walk sir" she said and lift me to the wheel. I smiled warmly at her gesture, her hand felt warm,I wanted to be in her embrace for a little longer. she had a fierce look on my dad,i felt as if she was reading his mind

"don't worry I'll take her out for you".she turned the wheel around and pushed us towards the car park. you are going to be fine,come back in two weeks for a check up,she pulled me into a warm hug and kissed my temple.

I couldn't resist the attraction we were connected by heart, I quickly wiped a tear from my cheek with my hand as we drove silently to our home.

"Get the hell out of my car"daddy yelled as we got to the yard.

A fresh bank of tears started to form again,I was already used to his beating and nagging but it was different this time since I can't walk on my own.

I signalled him to look at my legs with my hand instead he just looked away and unlock the car door for me.

How many times have I warned you not to use sign language on me,moron. get out" he yanked me by my shoulder out of the car and I landed on the sandy ground.

He dragged me by my hair into the house and banged the door,my headache got worse as he threw me on my hard mattress.

I crawled to my favorite corner where I find peace and brood over my problems,my scalp hurt from to much pulling and dragging my hair around.

I pulled out my diary from under my pillow,the only thing that new my secret. at a point I felt like it had life because it new my pain.

I and my dad had one thing in common,our hands were both covered with stains and our heart with words. But the difference were clear my hands were covered with ink while his was soaked in blood and my heart with words that I want to say out but his with word he wanted to hide and bury deep beneath him.

We are both lost in darkness but one of us needs to find light as soon as possible"i closed my eyes after my last words and was consumed by darkness.
