House-Evening

Aa'eesha open the door and enter the house.

Aa’eesha: Mom… dad… I'm home…

She search them all around the house but she can’t seem to find them and she start to feel something is not right when she see the trace of blood everywhere on the floor.

Aa’eesha: Mom… dad… it’s not funny… stop playing around… I’m begging you…

She called them again.

 Then she heard a screaming, it’s coming from the backyard. She was shocked.

Aa’eesha: Mom… dad!

She panicked.

She run to the kitchen and open the back door with gaps. She was speechless when she see her parents were lying on the ground helpless with the blood all over the places.

Now she felt like her world turn upside down and everything around her turned to dark.

Aa’eesha: (In Heart) Mom… dad…

Ae'eesha heart beating so fast and she can't feel the air around her anymore. Even she tried hard to breathe.

She lost control of her balance and fall to the ground. Her tears start to fall through her cheek.

Aa’eesha: Mom…

Aa'eesha looked at the woman that was lying in front of her, and then she crawled to approach. She touch the woman face with her finger tips and ignored the blood that has been stained on her hand.

She observer the woman face. Her eyes closed tightly like she was sleeping and at the edge of the woman lip have a blood stained. Aa’eesha wipe it off with her thumb. She stroked the woman hair with love and despair.

Then she turned to look at the man that was lying not too far from her and she cry harder.

Aa’eesha: Dad…

She said under her breathe.

She cupped her face with both of her hands. She can't believe the people that she love and adore so much, now they are gone forever. Her lovely parents that always give her courage, attention, love, smile and always teach her the meaning of live, now are lying helpless, pale, numb, bleeding and scratches all over their body. 

Aa’eesha closed her eyes tightly and takes a deep breath. The wind was blown stronger than usual and the sky has been covering by the dark clouds. Then the sound of raindrop was heard. It’s now raining, raining like her tears.

Aa’eesha: What the hell is going on here!

She yelled.
