She gently stroked the gun on my face. Gosh. This is really crazy.
"But before I do that. I'll put you first, you are a sinner that should be --you should be put in a coffin alive!" she said.
And she untied me from the chair, and I took it as a chance to push her. And get out of this room. I need to find my daughter.
But before I could go out, she grabbed and pulled my hair again. Shit. So I kicked her hard.
"Look, Leysa. Where are you going?"
"You look better. Where did you take my daughter!" I kicked her again… but this time enough to make her lay down in the floor and let go of me.
While she was still laying down I took the chance to run out. But I suddenly stopped when I heard her pull out a gun.
"All right, try to take a step. I'll make sure your skull explodes by chance. You're going to die, while you haven't saved your child yet." I am not making a move -not because I am afraid she will shoot me but I am afraid I will not be able to save my daughter.
I felt she was behind me and again, she pulled my hair.
"But it's happier when your child sees how her Mama dies. Isn't it great? Oh... how about - I will repeat what I did in our house before? Huh? Nahh! Do not answer me. I do not need your opinion. I will judge your sinfulness!"
She was still dragging me through my hair when we stopped at a door. I roamed my eyes around the place.
And suddenly I felt hot. It feels like I am burning. Damn!
"No. Don't. Please." I begged her not to put me inside. I cried, but she just laughed it out.
"Why? Don't you miss this room, Leysa? Hmm," she said but I did not speak... only shaking my head in response. It’s so hot –my body is like on fire. I remove her hold to my hair which she tightened even more. Damn it! I do not like this place. She turned to me and smiled wickedly.
"Why! You really don't want this room, Leysa? Maybe when you find out who is sleeping soundly inside that. Maybe you yourself will insist on going in there. HAHAHAHA," she suddenly blurted out that made my heart beats faster..
No. No. What did she mean by that? Oh no, my daughter! I forcedly get her hold at me and run fast inside the room. Damn. It's hot. I could feel the whole room burning.
" No. No Leysa. You just feel that. Because of what happened in this place before. Fight it, for your child." I said to myself again and again.
I was relieved to see my daughter laying down in a chair there. I immediately approached and picked her up. I know, Diana did nothing wrong to her. I wake her up. Until she woke up and looked at me, when she realized who I was she smiled sweetly.
"Mama. You're here. I've been waiting for you for a while," she said. I just hugged and kissed her.
"Sorry, baby. Mama was just trap in a heavy traffic that’s why I came here just now. But you are safe now, that I am already here," I replied.
Suddenly someone was laughing in front of us, she even clapped... like she was enjoying the show.
"Wow. Are you sure you are safe, Leysa?” She said and roamed her eyes inside this room. This is the room she locked me in before, when she set the house on fire. So I don't want this place. I feel burning. I would have been on fire then if the fire had not been extinguished immediately.
“Do you remember this room, my dear sister? It's a pity you were not included in the burning of this place. But don't worry. I will continue my plan to burn you then, right now! Well it's not too late. HAHAHA. That's right. You won't be sad. You are with your daughter who is very cute. HAHAHA, "she said and laughed.
She holds a lamp where the only one that gives light inside the room.
"Stop this now, Diana. It's not too late to change and repent. Please. Let us go." I hugged my daughter tightly while begging her to let us go.
"Mama," my daughter mumbled.
"No! It’s now or never, Leysa. Its either you burn or you survive. HAHAHAHA," she said and left the room where we are still in. She locked it and darkness engulfed the whole area. So I was suddenly scared. Damn this phobia and trauma of mine, but I have to fight it. I can't be weak at these times. I need to be strong for my children.
