Chapter 20: Double Trouble
"He did not." Musa's eyes grew widen and surprised as she saw the scar. " Stella I am so sorry I—"
"Enough." Stella spoke while hiding back the scar, "I do not know what he had told you. But what he did to me is more than this scar. I can't forgive him for what he did."
"What? He never told me, not even uncle Radius!"
"I told daddy not to tell anyone!" said Stella, "I do not want my friends to get worry about me."
"Wait. You said that, he did more than that. What else?" asked Musa, Stella just looked at her daddy, as he clearly knows what happened.
"Uncle Radius." Musa noticed the eye contact between them. "You know it right?"
"Just, tell her. Tell her how am I unable to pursue my dream as a dancer. Tell her what had the bastard done! "
Radius nodded and sighed. He then started to tell Musa about what exactly happened, as tears falls from Stella's eyes.
Flashback
"Doctor!" called Radius as he saw the doctor and nurses coming out from the hospital patient's room. "How is my daughter?"
"She is bleeding non-stop, but we have managed to prevent it. But…"
"But what?"
"She have hurt her spine, her both arms and her left leg. Twoof her ribs is broken, we have to operate her but the broken pieces is near to her heart, I afraid that we—"
"I don't care, you must save my daughter! If not, you're going to be responsible for everything, I MEAN IT!"
"Of… Of course sir." Replied The Doctor, who is now scared. "We'll push her to the operation room now."
"She better be alive or else…"
"We will try our very best, Sir. No worries." Stella was being pushed out from the room, lying on the bed unconscious.
"Stella." Called Radius, "You'll be alright." He prayed after Stella went into the operation room and waited for hours.
END
"Uncle, I want that little dino!" called Joy while pointing up the little stuff toy that was hanged inside a game store.
"But… We won a lot and buy a lot of things already, isn't it?" Said Riven, who is now carrying a bag of toys and holding a big teddy bear now. "Maybe we should—"
"It's still early. We only have been here for an hour! I don't care, I want that freaking Dino!"
"Joy, don't be like that. I'll help you get that little Dino?" suggested Brandon, Joy give a dead glare at Riven, but smiled when she looked at Brandon. Brandon went to the counter and pay, and then he picked up the guns and shot at the target, bull eye for 3 times. The man then handed him the Dino, as Joy clapped her hands and jumped as Brandon won the Dino.
"Oh my god, thank you!" cried Joy as she's hugging the Dino. Suddenly, Riven push Brandon towards him and whisper to his ears.
"Please, get me out from here. I can't take it anymore! Firstly, she made me ride on the roller coaster 10 times, secondly, she dropped her ice cream on my new Italian shoes, thirdly, she uses her candy floss and dropped it onto my head and now she's making me carrying all these! She's a little devil, oh gosh."
"I mean come on, it's not the worse yet, trust me. I bet there will be more." Laughed Brandon.
"I know, that's why I—"
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Joy asked, "We still have to go for the pirate ship, remember? Let's go!"
They walked to the pirate ship, while Riven was behind them sighing and mumbling. Just as they were about to get into the pirate ship, Joy's expression changed when she saw a boy noticed her.
"Hi." Joy said impolitely. "Didn't expect to see you here."
"Ya, you too." Said the boy, "My parents brought me her because they promised me to. Where is your mother? Looks like you're hanging out with 2 strangers."
"They are my uncle, not strangers!" snapped Joy.
"Oh, why didn't your daddy bring you here instead?" snapped the boy back, "Oh I forgot, you're a fatherless crybaby."
"Shut up Benjamin." Joy stares at him angrily, "I have a father! It's just—"
"What? He's not free to bring you here? It's the truth that you don't have a father, well at least I am not from a single family."
Joy breaks down and run away, she didn't know she knocked on Riven and causes him to drop his things that he was holding just now.
"Joy!" called Brandon, and then he turns back on the boy who has teased on Joy just now. He gives a dead glare on the boy and walks towards him.
"I warn you, little faggot." Snapped Brandon who is now pointing his fingers to the boy. "Joy does have a father! I am her father, and I don't like people bullying my daughter! If I ever see you near her again, I am going to rip out your fucking balls and make you swallow it."
"MUMMY!" cried the boy, as he runs away. Brandon sighed with relief after seeing the boy runs away.
"Err dude, that was not a very nice way to treat a little boy." Said Riven.
"But I do not want any fucking idiots to say that my daughter doesn't have a father!" suddenly, he noticed Joy was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh god, where is she?"
Joy was walking around a dark alley as she was wiping away her tears, trying to forget the incident earlier.
"Why everyone have a daddy but me?" cried Joy. "I want a daddy too."
Just then, there 2 people in black stood in front of Joy. Joy looked up at them, and started to fear as they are walking towards her.
"JOY!" cried Brandon, who is looking for her. Then Riven run towards him, almost breathless.
"Have you found Joy?" asked Brandon, Riven just shook his head while trying to catch a breath.
"AHH!" they heard a voice that comes from the alley, they quickly run to the alley. There, they discovered a shoe.
"That shoe…" Riven looked at it, finding it familiar.
"It's Joy's." whispered Brandon, "She might have been abducted."
TBC
Uh oh, I think I smells trouble.
In case you didn't notice, I did torture Riven a little before it comes to the amusement park scene. Now Riven is in a deep trouble, real deep trouble...
Cause he was actually shouldn't allow Brandon to come along. Radius is so gonna kill him.
