“Hello?” He asked.
“Who’s this?” He further questioned.
“I. Will. Kill. You” A deep voice came from the phone and the cigarette stick which was still in between his lips fell down his mouth, and in slow motion, It crashed on the tiled floor.
“Jerk!!” Phil screamed.
“At least, You could have called me when I was about having that nightmare!”
“Maybe, I would have avoided the nightmare! What a wrong timing to call! Aiish! I’m hanging up. Next time, call me when its right and don’t call me too late. I need to sleep cause I work extremely late”
“I didn’t call to have any conversation with you. Can’t you see I’m threatening your life?!” The deep voice came again.
“Next time,, you can threaten me! But why threaten me this late and at the wrong time! I lost my smoke cause of you now!!” Phil sobbed, pretentiously.
“What kind of-
“I’m hanging up! Bye!” Phil said aloud and hung the call.

He fell down with his butt and held his chest tightly.
“The f*ck. What and who the hell was that?”
“I really tried in acting cool. Oofff!” He inhaled deeply and dropped his phone on the floor.
NEIL’S HOME, SAME MIDNIGHT**
“Mum… Are you asleep?” Scarlett asked, softly.
She was staring at the ceiling while touching the duvet over her and Marie.
She now sleeps with Marie, rather than her old room she once shared with Samantha.
She only visits the room occasionally.
Marie coughed a bit.
“I guess you just woke me. Why? Can’t you sleep?” She asked, with her eye lids still closed.
“Samantha? Don’t you miss her?” Scarlett asked, avoiding her mother’s question.
Marie opened her eyes, and all she saw was pitch darkness. She blinked and sighed deeply.
“I….miss her” Scarlett whispered, calmly.
“How do you think she’s faring?” Scarlett asked, another question.
“Let’s not talk too much. Just go to sleep” Marie finally spoke out.
“Mum. That rapist-
“Scarlett! Mind what you utter!” Marie warned.
“But he really raped Samantha, your own first daughter!! I wished he died that day! Why did he have to live!” Scarlett cried.
“Because he deserves life! He can’t die since he’s an innocent kid…”
“Innocent kid, my foot! Do you think Samantha lied?” Scarlett arched her brows.
“My sister can’t lie about that for no reason!!” Scarlett almost yelled.
“Scarlett! Its late, please! I don’t wanna talk about the past! Its been years now. Move on. All I know is the boy is innocent. He never raped Samantha!”
“And why do you say so? Were you threatened? Were you there when all this took place”
“I don’t wanna talk much. Please, sleep!”
“Mum,,, Can I ask one last question?” Scarlett was crying now.
Marie sighed and closed her eyes. She turned her face over to the other side and took her body deeper into the duvet.
“Samantha,,, Do you think Samantha lied about being a victim of rape?” Scarlett asked.
“Scarlett…
“Yes or No?”
“Yes! Okay!! Yes! She lied!”
“And why do you say so!”
“Scarlett, You clearly mentioned that was your last question. If I hear any more word from you, I promise to leave this house for you,,, right this moment” Marie warned.
Scarlett scoffed.
“Then, I had better leave this place for you instead. I’m really disappointed in you, mother” She said, and stood up from the bed.

“Scarlett? Scarlett? Where are you going to? Where are you?” Marie asked, worriedly, now sitting upright on the bed while touching the bed and stretching her hands around the air.
“Oh Scarlett. You just don’t understand but in time, you definitely will cause I’m a bit puzzled myself” Marie sighed after hearing the door banging.

With her pajamas, rubber slippers, tied up hair and crying face, Scarlett walked through the sidewalk.
Few people were around the streets. Everywhere was busy.
They was a big celebration that day so no one slept but celebrated all through the night.
Scarlett sniffed loudly and entered a big tent where drinks and meat were sold.
She checked her pockets and saw change of cash right in there.
“That’s a relief. You were there, when I needed you. Thank you, money” She smiled and sat down on the free table around.
Everywhere in there was busy and noisy.
“Ahjumma (Older lady) 2 bottles of soju please!” Scarlett said with a loud voice while raising an arm.
“2 bottles of soju,,, coming!!” The woman replied and Scarlett smiled.
“Mind if I seat here?” She heard a masculine sweet voice.
She raised her eyes up to see the most handsome man ever. He’s so hot and cool at the same time.
