I dial my brother to let him know what happened
"Omar" I say with a shaky voice
"Maya, what happened? " my brother noticed my shaky voice
"Dad" I simply reply
"What do you mean dad?!" I can imagine him panicking
"I- I saw him but I just froze and couldn't go after him but Tony ran after him but he escaped" A tear slides down my cheek
"Fuck!" He yells on the phone
"I-I'm sorry" I sniff
"No no Maya it's not your fault. Remember you are strong and we are gonna catch him" Omar assures me
"Omar it's been 3 years since he escaped, I'm never gonna have peace until they catch him" I cried. Tony puts his hand on my shoulder and I look up at him
"Trust me Maya, the police will do its work. But we can't leave them with all the work" My brother spoke
"What do you mean?" I asked confused
"Maya" he sighs
"If we wanna catch him I think we can take the Opportunity of your supporters" I can sense him being nervous
" I still don't understand" I look at Tony
"I think I'll be a good idea if you talk about this... to the public eye" my brother spoke softly. When he finished saying that I felt numb, I felt like my heart dropped to my stomach
"I- No Omar I can't" I panicked
"Hey shh don't panic Maya, yes you can you are strong, it will not only help you , it will help other girls that have gone thru the same thing finally get their justice" He has a good point but I just couldn't bring myself to do that, A lot of people say I'm strong but I'm not, and I can't speak and let everyone know what a hell I was living for so many years. But it will help me catch my father and other girls to finally speak, and let them know they're now the only ones.
"I'll do it" I nod to myself
"That's my baby sister! Remember if you need anything call me right away Maya. I love you!" He cheerily says the last part
"I love you too Omar" I weak smile appeared on my face.
We hang up and I sigh
"What he said" Tony asks
"I'm- im gonna talk about this to the public eye" I look up at him and his eyes widened
"Really?" He was shocked
"Yes" I say sternly
"It will not only help the police to find him but it will also help other girls speak and let them know they are not alone in this situation" I say to him really sure of my decision
"That's a good idea Maya. Now thanks to you every girl will probably speak now" Tony gave me a little hug and I hug back. It felt right I wanted this forever, I missed him so much and more In these moments that I'm going thru. I really need someone to talk and just express how I feel and the only person that felt right was Tony...
We pull apart and smile, we both knew we wanted that but couldn't. He takes me back to my apartment and we change the subject of me talking about my abuse and we made a little plan up.
"Ok so I'll contact a Tv program and ask if I can speak about this to everyone?" I put my hand in my forehead
"I thinks it would be better that way" Tony shrugged
"I mean its not bad. But I prefer do the interview in my house, I don't want to go to the studio" I look up at him
"What ever you are comfortable with" Tony said...
