Chapter Four
As he said he would, Seto was there the morning that I was released, and he pushed the wheelchair out to the car himself. "When I asked where Mokuba was, he said that he wanted to get things ready for my coming home." I didn't know what to say, and he touched my face and said, "you know that he will be making a big deal of you're coming to stay with us don't you?" That made me laugh and I think that it broke the ice between us.
When he opened the door for me, everyone yelled "Welcome home" and I nearly jumped out of my skin. He had all our friends there and there was cake and ice cream and plenty of soda to drink. "I sat down and started to cry and Mokie asked me why? Honey, it's because of all that you all have done for me, by making me understand that what happened wasn't my fault. I hugged and kissed him and he turned blood red. That made everyone laugh and he finally did too." Seto must have noticed that I was getting tired and he told everyone that they could still stay and party, but I needed to go and get some rest. He picked me up and carried me upstairs and to the room where I was to be staying in. He called down and Mai and Serenity came up and helped me get into my nightgown and into bed. Seto gave me my medication and I fell to sleep.
I don't know what time it was when I woke, but I was feeling kind of hungry and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. When I got there, the cook was having some hot tea and asked "if I wanted some." "I told her that I would." She said that her name was Marie and I told her who I was. "Would you like a ham and cheese sandwich" she asked? "I'd love one" I told her. As I ate we talked and I asked "her if she was married, and she said no." She must have noticed something was wrong, because when she asked me about it I started to cry. "Honey, what is it" she asked me? "Why do men think that they can take a woman without asking?" I asked her. Then she knew and she was beside me in no time. "Listen, I want to tell you something that not even Seto knows. When I came to work here I was only nineteen and in trouble. Gozaboro sensed that and he hired me anyway. He took me into his house and under his protection. One day I got a phone call that if not for him, would have changed my life forever. The man who had raped me found out that I was carrying his child and want to get custody of the baby. All I wanted was to be left alone and have the child. I didn't know what I was going to do after the baby was born, but as Gozaboro said, I had time to decide."
" I ended up losing the baby in my seventh month. The doctor said it was because of all the stress I was under. I almost died, but with the doctors and of course Gozaboro, I'm here today. I know what you are going through and it isn't going to be easy, but with all your friends it will start to fade from your memory." "Can I have you as one of my friends" I asked her? "Honey I'd be honored to be your friend." Marie said. We didn't know that Seto had heard the entire conversation and he left us alone. I guess I was the lucky one, I didn't have a baby because of the rape. As the days passed, I did start to forget all about the rape, until the day my mother called and told me that my father was dying. "Why call me I asked her? Didn't both of you tell me that their daughter was dead?" "But he's your father" she said. "And I was both of yours daughter, who you threw away when I needed you the most. Tea is dead and can't be reached by you, so don't call here again." I wanted to die that day, I was torn between what they had done to me and the thought that my father was dying and if I didn't go then, I wouldn't be able to let him know that I loved him. It was Mokuba who changed my mind. He's still your father, so maybe if you go and talk to him it might be what makes them realize that they still love you. And I asked "Seto to help me see my father."
