midnight or few hours past, everyone one was in bed . she saw her door wasn closed , means someone came in while she was asleep . she went out of her room to get some water to drink. getting back from the living room to get some water. she heard her mom and dad talking.
I felt helpless again, today when I heard my daughter crying and couldn do anything for her again. its been 12years moala , 12 years but I can do anything. when I entered her room today thinking thats I could help her calm down , it reminded me of the day I was carrying her little body bringing her home. I tried to get close to her many times but I couldn . the only thing, I could do was removing her shoes and cover her when she was asleep. I feel a shamed of being her father when I know I failed to protect her that night. I don even know what happened that night exactly except knowing she got rapped. her father said
her mother who has been quite the whole time turned to her husband. do you remember the first time she spoke after that night? do you remember her first word Marcos? that time she was 9 , she wasn able to talk for almost 2years . she said father please don let that man hurt me again. do you know what that means Marcos? she needed you as a father and now she still does. go , go find your old daughter Marcos . she enveloped him with a hug stroking his back.
she needs us moala, she needs parents. these 12years I haven seen her laughing or crying or anything. no feelings, no emotions she is just like a dead body. he added
