Hi guys! How're you? Safe and sound, I hope.

Thanks a lot to Seafoam Green under Twilight, Cutetyhil, Rayes Reynolds and Black Witch of autumn for reviewing the last chapter. Also thanks to Sefoam Green under Twilight, Rayes Reynolds and kaihil fanfiction for faving and following it :D

I published this fic on the day before yesterday, right? You know what happened between 23rd and 25th? A pregnant woman in Bangladesh was raped and the whole incident was filmed 😡😡. Leave it, our mentality has got rotten completely.

Here're some TySew and TalaJul. At first, I thought to make it a two-shot but the chapter would be longer. That's why, I've decided to make it a multichaptered. I think and hope it will end at the 3rd chapter.

Plus, meet my new OC Roberta. Her hair is pink and eyes are blue. She's Raul's colleague as well as his fiancee in this story. :P

So, read, feel and learn :)

"Dew…" Hilary softly asked, "What happened?"

"Oni-chan…." The younger woman couldn't control her tears anymore, "We…we're very unfortunate…"

"Why?" Hilary frowned, "Why're you saying it? What the hell has happened there? For God's sake, just tell me everything clearly!"

"Okay," Taking a breath, Dew started, "You remember Sir Gideon?"

"You're calling that psycho 'Sir'?" The brunette gritted her teeth, "Don't you know that he's a mental, idiotic asshole who has literally no respect for women? Have you forgotten that incidence how he disrobed a girl publicly and got it recorded? Despite knowing so much about him, how could you address him so respectfully?"

"If anyone hears that I'm calling him by his name, I-I…" The purplette sighed, "His disciples are roaming here and there everywhere. We don't know who our real well-wisher is and who wants only our destruction. That's why, we must be careful."

"Whatever," The doctor rolled her eyes, "What did he do?"

"In the last election, he…" Dew wished she could've been no more simply, "He won with a large number of votes, outshining almost all other parties who took part in the election."

"Whaat?!" Hilary's jaw remained open as the phone from her hand was almost dropping but she caught it back, "That dickhead won the election? How? Does that creepy wizard know black magic or what?"

"Because of only conspiracies and dishonesty of the election panel," Her cousin replied, "Anyways, he became the mayor of our city. Tyson didn't pay any heed to it; he was honestly and successfully completing his jobs as a police-officer. But one day…"

"Yes?"

"One day, some followers of that Gideon…." Her voice was almost inaudible, "Raped a 13-year old girl together."

"Don't mention that anymore, Dew," Hilary seemed tired, "Dealing with two or three cases almost every day, I'm getting exhausted."

"Then, Tyson arrested those rapists and put them behind bars," The purplette replied, "Knowing it, Gideon came to the police station and threatened him in all the worst ways possible. But…Tyson didn't move a single inch away from his decision."

"Hey, that's very brave and honest of him," The brunette smiled, "You should've been proud of him. Why're you hesitating to say this?"

"Because…." Dew stopped for a while. After it, her cousin could hear her sniffs and sobs from the other side of the phone call. Her eyebrows were creased; she felt baffled and worried for her pregnant cousin and her husband.

"After a few days," The violet-head proceeded amidst her tears, "Due to some conspiracies of Gideon, Tyson was ordered to be shifted in Nara. He understood why it happened. Oni-chan, Tyson didn't want to leave this place, nor did I. But every night, the followers of Gideon kept throwing pebbles at our windows and threatening Tyson, telling him that…if he didn't leave Tokyo immediately, they would abduct me and…."

Not able to finish her words, the purplette burst into tears, clutching her own mouth. Hilary stood there like a stone, not moving. In anger, she got goosebumps; she gritted her teeth. Was this the fate of an honest and determined police officer?

"Only because he was worried for me, we shifted to this outlying hilly region," Dew was still sobbing, "You know, sister, after arriving at this place, he changed a lot. His appetite has decreased, he cannot sleep at nights and his cheerfulness has also nearly vanished. Though he acts as if everything were normal, I can feel what he's undergoing now."

"Dew…" Hilary mused, "Don't weep. The path of honesty is not embedded with flowers, you know."

"The network is so poor here, oni-chan," Her cousin said, "Though there are electricity and water, the place is very scary. The roads are between the jungles and the lanes are very narrow amidst the hills. Tyson goes to the station in every morning and returns home between 8-9 pm. When he remains absent at home, I-I feel very anxious for him. Moreover, the local hospital also very far away from our house. God knows how long we have to stay in this freaky place."

"Why didn't you stay back in Tokyo, dear?" The brunette asked, "With uncle and aunt?"

"Are you crazy, oni-chan?" Even in her tears, Dew smirked, "If I didn't accompany Tyson, he would think that his decision was wrong. Without me, he would feel down. Besides, how could I stay amidst luxuries when my husband was leading a miserable and venturesome life? Keeping him in the hilly area, I could never get mental peace, oni-chan. That's why, I had to accompany him."

Hilary smiled at the decision and words of her young cousin, "You've done the right thing, Dew. I'm proud of you."

"I'm proud of you too, oni-chan," The purple-haired girl replied, "You're also helping a lot of patients by honest means, you know. One day, these jobs of you will surely bring a beautiful and positive change in your country."

"Hope so," Hilary's smile became dull, "Anyways, stay safe and sound. Don't let Tyson break down. Always keep encouraging and supporting him, telling him that whatever he has done is correct. Got it?"

"Of course, oni-chan," Dew nodded, "I'll always remember your words."

"And take care of yourself too," The chocolate-haired girl advised, "You've to stay strong for the sake of Tyson and your baby who is yet to come, okay?"

"Sure, oni-chan," The violet-head smiled, "Well, I have to prepare dinner now. See you."

"See you too." The call got disconnected.

Keeping the phone on the table, the purple-haired girl went to kitchen and cooked rice, vegetables and beef-potato soup for the supper. Washing the dishes with bare hands, she arranged them and turned on the geezer so that Tyson could take a hot shower after arriving. Since she was pregnant, doing so many chores alone was quite a tough job for her sometimes. In this remote area, even a maid couldn't be found. Besides, no female relative of them was ready to stay with her. But Dew didn't complain of them. Her biggest fear was something else: The fear of life. Not even her own, but someone else's.

Soon, the evening fell on the earth, darkening the atmosphere around the house. Dew turned on the lights and closed all the windows and doors of the balconies of her house. The sun went to sleep in the western sky, bit by bit, its crimson rays also dissolved in the world of darkness. Birds returned to their nests. After a few minutes, the crickets started humming in the bushes. Owls cried, sitting on the branches of the trees of the dense forest which froze the blood of the purplette. Snakes were common in the hilly area. Before a few weeks, one had died due to snakebite in their locality. But she was afraid of people way more than the dumb animals.

"Tock tock! Tock tock!"

The girl who'd been sitting on her bed, clutching the lavender bedsheet nervously crimped. Her throat became dry in sheer thirst. Biting her lips, she got up and proceeded towards the door. In an anxious and trembling voice, she asked, "Who's there?"

"Dew, it's me," The masculine tone replied, "Open the door."

The wave of the familiar voice of reliance removed all her tensions and fears. Wasting no moment, banging the door open, she hugged her husband tightly, burying her face in his broad chest. Wrapping his sturdy arms around her slender physique, he tucked his nose in her silky purple hair and asked concernedly, "What happened, Dew? Is everything okay?"

"Why've you become so late today?" She didn't raise her face, keeping embracing him, "Do you know how nervous I was feeling?"

"Why, honey?" He stroked her head affectionately, lifting her chin, "Your husband is a cop, okay? The wife of a policeman also should be brave."

"I am not afraid of the dangers of my way, Tyson," She held his hands which were cupping her face, "I'm worried only about you."

"Don't you have faith on my courage?" He raised his brows, "I'm Tyson Granger, the top-ranked police officer of Japan and…"

"Climbing a tree after seeing a rough-green snake!" Someone screamed, hiding behind the cop.

"Daichi!" Annoyed, the blunette left his wife as the latter blushed, not knowing that the dwarf redhead had been stalking them. Turning to him, Tyson screwed his nose, "How many times do I have to tell you not to scare me in this way?"

"Oww…actually, I didn't know that Tyson Granger can get scared, hehehe…." Daichi scratched his head, "Mrs. Granger, hope you're well. Sorry for ruining your lovie-dovie moment."

'This squirrel….' Tyson grunted angrily, 'Who told him to follow me when I was leaving Tokyo? Looks like he'll never let me breathe in peace.'

"Sorry for coming all of a sudden without informing you too," Daichi stroked his stomach, letting its grumbles be audible, "But what to do, I was feeling so hungry and too lazy to cook myself. So, I thought, 'Why not to enjoy the delicious foods prepared by Mrs. Granger?'"

"No problem, Daichi," Dew smiled, "The dinner is ready. Come in and get fresh at first."

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Granger!" The cheerful constable squealed, "You're the best!"

When Dew served the foods on the rectangular dining table, getting fresh, Tyson and Daichi kept talking about the recent events. While coming to call them, the purplette felt curious at the loud and fierce pitches of the men and started overhearing them. Pretty serious and heated the discussion was.

"Here too?" Tyson punched on the sofa, "I thought the mentality of the rural people is innocent!"

"No one in this world is innocent, Tyson," The monkey-boy sighed, "Moreover, rural people are more illiterate. Most of them don't know that rape is a sin. They think that it is a sign of proving masculinity."

"Woah!" Sarcastically, the blunette clapped, "If this is, bit by bit, women will stop believing and respecting men."

"Already they have, Ty," Daichi's tone was high-pitched, "Hey, have you heard the case of the neighboring village?"

"Nope," Tyson shook his head, "What happened there?"

"Six or seven political goons broke into the house of an old lady," His comrade replied, "Her son used to do politics in their anti-party. That's why, together, they assaulted her, disrobed her and filmed it."

"What the hell?!" Tyson grasped the seat.

"Not only that," Daichi added, "They pushed bamboos in the private parts of the lady and kept pumping them. Some seized her breasts and held lit lighters there. Besides…."

"No, not more than that!" The indigo-head stretched a palm in order to stop him, "Despite being a cop, I myself am feeling sick!"

"She was screaming, telling, 'You all are like my sons, please, leave me.'," The redhead gritted his teeth, "But those goons didn't pay any heed to her at all. Pointing torchlight at her…"

"NO!"

Hearing the scream of the purplette, both the men turned their heads to her, shocked and dumbfounded. Clutching her mouth, the girl rushed towards the basin and threw up there all the contents that she'd eaten. Even after emptying her stomach, she was getting gagged. Her body trembled, she felt nauseous. The news inside her brain was giving her jolts and ill sensations. Somehow, she placed her palms against the wall so that she couldn't fall down. Tears of disgust were brimming in her turquoise orbs. Under her feet, the ground was crumbling. The world was fading away before her eyes.

"Dew!" Meanwhile, the men reached the place in order to help the woman. Her husband seized her head and shoulders gently, "You alright?"

With exhausted eyes, Dew looked at Tyson. Her breaths were abnormal, hands and feet were getting cold. Leaning against his chest, she closed her eyes as if she'd had no more strength left in her body. Seeing no other way, the blunette lifted her in bridal style and went to the bedroom, followed by Daichi. Laying her on the bed, he gently wiped her mouth with a towel as the shorter man brought some water. Taking a little of it in his palm, Tyson sprinkled it on her face and kept massaging her palms and feet. The redhead kept standing by the side of the bed worriedly, thinking whether he should call in a doctor or not.

Fortunately, it was not needed. Within two or three minutes, the purplette weakly blinked, stirring a bit and groaning. Leaning forward, Tyson cupped her face and anxiously asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah…" Though her voice didn't agree with her words, "I'm feeling fine, now, Tyson."

"Thank God!" The blunette was relieved, "You frightened me for a while!"

"I'm sorry…." She mumbled, "I've kept the foods in the table. Please, have them before they turn cold."

"You don't have to worry about it," Tyson stroked the forehead of his wife, "You rest here, we can eat ourselves."

"Hmm…." Nodding, she closed her eyes again. Covering her body with a blanket till her chin and sitting beside her, the cop again brushed his fingers on her temple affectionately. Taking a sharp breath, he stood up, "Daichi, you must be hungry. I…"

"No problem," For a second, the redhead sounded sensible, "I can wait."

"Anyways," Tyson asked, "Have you found out who have done this?"

"Pardon me," The dwarf lowered his head, "But when the tape reached my hand, I saw the faces of the convicts blurred."

"Stupid society!" The blunette gritted his teeth, "The face of the victim should have been blurred but we are too eager to protect the dignity of the rapists-oh, I forgot that they actually have no dignity. However, keep investigating."

"Sure." Daichi nodded.

"If I can reach those bastards once," Tyson's jaw was stiffened with his bloodshot auburn orbs, "Swearing by Kami, I'll bury them alive!"

"Where's my princess?" The dual-haired girl expanded her arms, beaming at someone, "Where's mommy's little angel?"

Hearing the voice of her mother, the 15-month old angel squealed happily and stretched her tiny fair arms, plodding to the Spaniard with wobbling footsteps. Her emerald eyes were filled with joys and excitements of spending some time with her mom. Pink kitty clips were attached to her scarlet hair covering her round head. Between her squishy lips, petite white teeth flickered. The fringes of her baby-orange frock flurried; she didn't care. Almost running in the direction of the Spanish woman, she tried to give her a bear-hug as the latter lifted her. Her baby was a remedy for her anxieties and stress. Whenever she hugged her, she easily forgot them.

"The bond between a mother and her daughter is so special," Julia kissed on the cheek of her daughter, "I'm so lucky!"

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

Hearing the calling-bell, with her daughter, Julia strode towards the door and opened it. Seeing the red-haired Russian, the baby again let out another excited squeal and stretched her arms to him. Tala also extended his hands but Julia held the waist of their daughter back, "Nope, Zohana, let papa get fresh at first, then you'll go to him."

Zohana made a little pout of dissatisfaction at it. However, smiling at her husband, the Spaniard took the bag from his hand and said, "Tala, you must've been tired. Get fresh, I'm serving food in the dining."

After a while, the family gathered in the dining hall. Sitting on her small chair, Zohana kept playing with her barbie as her mother served bread to her father, "You're looking very stressed today, Tala. What happened?"

"The same thing," Sipping the vegetable cream soup, the redhead replied, "Boris Balkov came to the police station for threatening us again."

"Again?" Julia cocked a brow, "Will this man never feel ashamed?"

"Only if he knew what shame is," Tala rumbled, "Today, your court was off, right?"

"Yeah."

"Good," The cop had the soup, "At least you've got some relief today. Keeping Zohana in the nursery of the court isn't safe at all, you know."

"Hmm…" The Spanish girl nodded, "But you don't worry, Tala. The workers of the nursery are very helpful and caring."

"Both male and female workers are there, right?" Tala questioned his wife, "Beware of the male ones. The country has got rotten."

"Yeah." Julia heaved a sigh.

"Having a daughter nowadays…" Her husband munched the bread, "has become a curse. It's become a reason of worries."

At this sentence of him, Julia fumed like a tigress. Slapping on the table she hissed at which Zohana literally freaked out, dropping the doll but her mother didn't bother, "You want to say that Zohana is a source of our worries?"

"No…I mean…." Tala swallowed the bread.

"Woah, so you wanna say that bearing a boy-child is relieving? Why? You think that girl-children have the possibility of getting raped? Don't the boy-children have the possibilities of growing up as rapists? Don't they get raped by some psychos?" Words splashed from Julia's mouth, flowing with her irritation, "The rapists were also young children once upon a time, Tala. Seeing their innocent faces, no one could say that growing up, they'd turn into scoundrels. Listen Tala, a rape victim doesn't lose his or her honor because honor remains in hearts, brains-not in private parts. If someone loses honor in any rape case, it's the rapist himself because he loses his conscience, he becomes heartless, he doesn't apply his brain! If having girl-children is considered to be a curse only the fear of seeing them getting raped, why cannot having boy-children be considered to be curse because they've the possibility of growing up as rapists?"

"Slow down, Jules, slow down…." Tala gulped, taking his daughter in his arms to sooth her, "I haven't said it that our Zohana gives us worries or something but we don't know the mentality of the people around us. I agree that not all men are rapists but it cannot be said from reading face who the rapist is and who is not. So, we need to be careful."

"Hmm…" Julia calmed down a bit, "But you need not worry about that. No male worker works in the nursery alone. Besides, security system is also very good there. When Zohana will grow up a bit, I myself will teach her karate and martial arts so that she can protect herself in unfavorable situations."

"Good decision." Tala chewed the vegetables as their little princess kept crawling on the shoulders of her father. The dual-haired girl giggled at it.

"You know, Jules," The father spoke, "To a father, there's no other person as precious as his daughter. That's why, it's natural for him to worry for her safety, security and welfare."

"Everyone can understand it," Julia snickered, "When they will see you and Zohana."

"But, ironically," Tala's face stiffened, "Sometimes, the same father doesn't hesitate to rape the daughter of someone else."

"Yeah," Julia sadly agreed with him, "Do you want to know what happened at the court yesterday?"

"What happened?" Tala was concerned.

"A man of Boris came to my chamber," The dual-haired answered, "I was handling a rape case. Offering me money, he told me to lose the case intentionally."

"Whaat?" The redhead frowned, "And you agreed with him?"

"Of course not!" Julia sternly shook her head, "Do I look like that to you? Anyways, after it, do you know what that filthy man said?"

"What?"

"He said that he has ten lawyers like me as his bedpartners," The dual-haired cleared her throat, "I felt as if someone had started burning my veins!"

"Do you know where that bastard lives?" The redhead clenched his fangs, "Only you inform! I myself will put a lit lighter under his tongue and turn it into ashes."

"I wish I knew," The lawyer rolled her eyes, "If he weren't the representative of a famous political party, honestly speaking, I would fix his neck in such a way that he could never rotate it left or right."

"Why didn't you?" Tala narrowed his eyes.

"Tala, violence doesn't work always, you know. I just simply called a security guard to drive him out." Julia sighed, teasing the redhead, "As a lawyer, I've experienced it though cops say something else in this case."

"Hmph!" Her husband grouched, "Again you're taunting me, Jules. Unfair! You lawyers could do nothing if we weren't there."

"Silly, I was just kidding!" Julia laughed, patting the shoulder of her annoyed husband gently but her laughter ceased since her phone rang. Frowning, she lifted it, "Hello?"

"Hello, Julia?" A feminine voice spoke, anxious and horrified, "A terrible accident happened here."

"What happened, Roberta?" The dual-haired girl stood up; wrinkles fell on her forehead. Cuddling with their daughter, her husband also questioningly looked at her as she turned the loudspeaker on.

"Raul…" The girl named Roberta huffed, "Raul has been hospitalized."

"What?!" Julia dropped her jaw, widening her eyes. Tala became shocked too. Somehow, the Spaniard spoke, "Why? What happened to him?"

"We were working peacefully at our office," The pinkette replied, "Suddenly, a bunch of goons came there and entered Raul's chamber, saying no word. It was locked from inside. After a few minutes, we heard Raul's screams and broke into his room. We caught the thugs and handed them to police though most of the fled away. Looks like they bet Raul mercilessly."

"Oh my God!" Julia covered her mouth, "How…how's he now?"

"Don't worry, Jules, he's out of danger now," Roberta assured her, "But he hasn't regained his sense yet."

"Roberta, to which hospital has he been admitted?" Julia breathed, trying to calm her nerves down.

"Serbsky center." Roberta informed.

"Roberta, stay there," The Spaniard spoke, "We're coming."

"Come soon." She cut the phone.

Turning to Tala, Julia bit her lips, "Tala, we have to go there as soon as possible."

"Hm," Squeezing her shoulders, the redhead conversed, "Don't worry, Raul will be fine. Get ready along with Zohana, I'm also getting ready."

"Sure." Furiously nodded once, with her trembling hands and feet, Julia lifted their daughter and rushed to her room.

Why did those goons beat Raul so cruelly? What did Raul do? Let me give you a hint, Raul is a crime reporter.

Besides, who's cuter? Gou or Zohana? :P

Do read and review. Pardon the grammatical and spelling errors. Take care and stay safe :D
