Held Captive [Completed]

22.

My gaze follows him as he quiet dish my food almost like he's afraid I would reject him feeding me. Yes he has been then one feeding me since I woke up, he has been here every blessed day whatever he needs he would call. I never see him leave maybe when am asleep he do go out or so, but as far as I know he's always here.

"huntress"? He called out softly. "I uhmm, it's time for you to eat please" the way he pleads still foreign to my ears I refuse to believe this man right here feels remorseful for whatever he did.

"I'm not hungry" I said.

"oh, okay then.. Its right here when you need it" then the silence fell in, it wasn't a comfortable silence it was this kinda silence that you can't properly breath.

"I will just be uhmm outside" I let out a sigh of relief. Staying in a room with him is sure is suffocating.

Then I closed my eyes and drifted off.

"baby girl what did I tell you about forgiveness"? My mom asked. I kept my head down fidgeting with my fingers. "you said when someone admits for his/her wrong doings her/he needs to be forgiven".

"now why are you not forgiving then"?

"mom.. " I started protesting

"I can't forgive him, he.. He... "

"he took you against your will? Hit you? Left you starving"? She asked.

I timidly nodded my head.

"if you can't forgive him, then it makes you no difference than him ,you tagged as a monster whereby the real monster is you".

"I'm not asking you to forget but you should forgive so that you can move on"she placed her hand on my shoulder while I look at her with teary eyes.

"I'm not that strong to forgive him mom, whenever I think about it what I passed through its hard to forgive him".

"learning makes perfect baby,it gets better with learning" she kissed my forehead.

"now go, until next time".

'bye mom" I whispered

I opened my eyes staring at the ceiling before looking else where, he's standing with his hands in his pockets staring at me intently.

When our eyes meet he quickly look else where.

I am not sure if I can ever forgive this man, I am not even sure if he's sincerely sorry for his wrong doings. He might still be pretending  just to lure me in and continue what he didn't finish. After all he told me he will deal with me.

"I'm sorry huntress" I refuse to look at him.

"I'm sincerely sorry for everything I did, please".

I know you are having a hard time believing but..." the sound of the door made him to stop talking.

"hi Ms, how are you feeling today"? The doctor asked.

"I'm okay just little pain but aside that am fine".

"hmm, glad to hear you are actually recovering fast that's a surprise, does your voice hurt? ".

I smile softly and reply "not much". "okay then I will be coming to check you up later, if you keep this up, you will be out of here in no time Ms" then he left.

"I'm sorry huntress" why do I seriously feel like this man is lying? That he will still continue his deeds? I seriously can't forgive him, no matter how sincere his voice is.

I'm sorry mom, I am not sure if I can forgive him. Yet.
