46.1
Don Guillermo and I stopped in a room. This is probably the room he says he put my parents in. I want to see and talk to them. I haven't talked to them in a long time.
"You can talk to your parents," he said to me. "Maybe this is the last day for you to see them alive." He added like it was already a clue.
Even if I am nervous, I did not let him see that I already weakened. He slowly turned the doorknob.
"I am waiting for your answer about the deal, Silic. " he reminded me of his stupid deal at me.
Nothing came out of my lips and I do not want to tell him anything that could trigger him. I am stepping closer to the door until I enter inside and hear the door that was closed again.
A few moments later I saw two people sitting in a chair. Their hands were tied from behind their seats. As well as their feet.
Only now did I realize that they were my mother and father. I did not immediately recognize them because of the blood on their faces and because of the dirt covering their faces. Almost cry seeing them.
"Mom! Dad!" I immediately shouted at them.
I immediately approached them, touched their faces, then I couldn't help but cry. I didn’t expect to see this with blood and dirt on their faces.
"Silic." my father's weak stutter.
"Dad, Why did our lives end like this? I thought at first that our lives would flow well." Tearfully, I told him. "You're hiding something from me. That's why we ended up like this."
My father cried and so did my mother. Immediately, I hugged them and cried together.
"Sorry." even Mom said. "I've known this for a long time Silic, but we just didn't tell you."
"Mom." I just said.
I removed the one tied to their hand from behind them, so were their feet tied to the foot of the chair. There are many things I want to ask them this time. The unanswered question will be answered at this time, but I think, this was not a good idea. Today wasn't the right time to ask, blame, and be angry with them.
I hugged them again as I removed their leashes. Once again we cried. I don't know, because I don't know what to do now. I also don't know if anyone will help us get out of here. Wrum is the only one I hope will save us. My God. I don't even know if he can even save us for his thigh shot by Don Guillermo.
"Tell me, Dad. Why did we end up like this?" I asked Dad. "Wrum has already told me that you killed his mother, Don Guillermo's wife." I can't help myself but ask them.
My father didn't immediately respond to what I told him. He just stared at me and wiped the flowing tears from his face. The pain of seeing your parent cry in front of you is different that can make me cry too. It was as if something was piercing my chest because they cry.
"Silic," he said to me. "I don't know how to tell you this. I know I should be the one to blame for this. I'm the reason our lives ended here."
"Dad."
"I killed Don Guillermo's wife. I was just ordered by their enemy, my boss once ordered me to do it, but that was the last and first person I killed," he explained to me. "I don't want to kill her. My boss just forced me, so I did it because he will kill me if I don't do what he tells me to do."
Mom touched my shoulder and I saw her in tears too. "It's true what your father says, Silic." Mom agrees with what Dad says. "We left our old house then. We moved to another town to start a new life, but in an unexpected event, they tracked us down again. It's too late for me to tell you this because you suddenly disappeared that night." said Mom to me.
Damn it. If I get angry now, not with my mother and father, but with Don Guillermo. I wanted to get angry and blame Dad for all this but I couldn’t. I'd rather be angry with Don Guillermo.
My father killed his wife, but this is his revenge on us.
Damn it. I just want to shout badly to Don Guillermo and cursed him for any words.
"There's nothing we can do daughter. I know you're blaming your father right now." She said to me. "I know you're mad at him but he's just forced to do it."
"Is that all you're hiding from me?" I asked them.
They just looked at each other as if they were hiding something other than what was happening right now. They looked back at me.
"We don't have anything to tell you, Silic," said Mom like she was hiding something. "I mean, that's all."
I nodded at them.
"Don Guillermo told me that for this to end, I have to marry him." sadly I told them and I just saw their reaction.
"No."
"No."
They told me at once.
"No matter what happens," said Dad and sat down. "Don't marry him or even his relatives because they are our enemies. They can't be trusted."
I wanted to tell them something more, but I just heard someone speaking behind us.
"Oh, how sad." it was Don Guillermo's voice so I stood up and faced him. "None of you have died yet, but you are already crying. What if someone is going to die with you." Don Guillermo smiled.
"No one will die with us." with anger, I told him.
"Ah, of course, I remember. So I mean, you're going to marry me so you said no one will die for, didn't you?" he says.
"No wedding will happen. I will never squeeze myself into you. I won't marry a demon like you. No."
"Even if you kill us now Don Guillermo, we're not afraid." my father said. "I will not give you my daughter in exchange for what I did to your wife. No!"
Don Guillermo smiled and turned his gaze to Dad. "Save your family Emmanuel. We'll see if you can get out of here alive."
Damn it. Wrum, can you do me a favor? Please find me and please help us.
