Another day of work, I could feel a load of stress piling on me again, oh well, I can manage, also something to free my mind from thinking of the past memories. I guess it’s a good thing. It was lunch time, I don’t think I’ll be going because I still need to finish up all these work plus I’m not that hungry. While working Ron came up to me.
“Hey, why aren’t you going out for lunch?” Ron asked
“As you can see I still have a pile of work to finish, by the way, I’m not hungry.” I replied
“Well, work is important, but your health is too. It’s important that you eat at the right time.” Ron said
“I know, but I had a big meal for breakfast already, so I’m still full. You go ahead…” I told him
“Well, I wouldn’t want to force you if you’ve made your decision already. I’ll go first, bye.” Ron bided as he walked out
The truth is, I didn’t eat any big meal for breakfast, I just had a glass of milk and that was it. Well I’m just a little hungry, not too much. I worked and worked until half an hour had passed already, and suddenly I stomach is starting to growl. Uh oh…I’m getting hungry. Sigh…I’ll just go into the lounge room to see if there are any crackers or something.
When I got to the lounge room, I searched each closet to see if there’s any kind of food, but no luck. There wasn’t any food at all! Oh well, I guess I have to starve for a little bit. I got myself a cup of tea then walked back to my desk, but this time, there was a bag with a to go box inside it, sure looks like food to me. There was also a note attached to it.
It read:
Leila,
I ate as fast as I could so I could bring you back some sushi. You have to hurry up and eat because you only have half an hour. And remember to always eat at lunch time because your stomach’s going to hurt. I won’t bother you when you’re eating.
Ron
After reading that, Leila then looked over at Ron’s desk, he was just sitting there working on his own stuff. I smiled to myself and began to ate the sushi that Ron bought for me. It sure was delicious now that I’m hungry.
Another half an hour had passed, and lunch was over. Everyone came back to the company to work, and I did my own work. Then at 5:00 pm, I went into Mr. Leung’s office to let him sign some paper work.
Knock knock
“Come in” Mr. Leung said
I opened the door and went in.
“Mr. Leung, I have some paper work for you to sign.” I said as I brought the papers up to his desk.
“Sure.” Mr. Leung replied as he took out his pen
He sat there trying to find the spot where he’s suppose to sign, I was about to show him but he asked me before I could.
“Where’s the spot that I’m suppose to sign at? I’m sorry; I’m getting blind old for a 46 year old man.” Mr. Leung said laughing
I then leaned in closer to him and showed him the spot “Right there.”
Suddenly, I felt something lightly touching my arms. It was Mr. Leung who had his hands on me. I immediately pulled away from him and then shouted “Mr. Leung what are you doing?!”
“Oh don’t try to act all innocent, I know that you’re interested in me too, that’s why you got up so close to me!” Mr. Leung said in such a perverted tone.
I ran toward the door, but he had pulled me back before I could.
“Don’t try to run away! You can’t run away from me!” Mr. Leung said as he pushed me onto to his table. He then tried to unbutton my shirt, but before he could I bit his arm. I quickly got up and ran toward the door, but again, he had pulled me back. He was too strong for a weak girl like me.
He grabbed hold of me and tried to kiss me, I tried to avoid him as much as possible. I tried pushing him away, but he was too strong. I didn’t know what I could do anymore, I was so afraid. I called out “Help! Help!” But before I could go on, Mr. Leung had covered up my mouth. Once again, he pushed me on the table, with one hand on my mouth and the other trying to unbutton my shirt. This time I didn’t do anything, I felt my head spinning around and around, I was too weak to do anything else, and I couldn’t really breathe when he had his hand over me. Tears ran down my face rapidly, I was so scared, but had no idea what to do next.
Suddenly, someone came in and grabbed Mr. Leung away from me. It was Ron; I was so thrilled to see him. Ron then punched Mr. Leung right across the face causing him to collapse onto the ground. Ron immediately ran to me, he took of his jacket and puts it around me.
“Oh my god, are you okay Leila?” Ron asked
Words couldn’t come out from my mouth because I was so afraid. All I could do at that moment was cry and tremble still thinking of that horrid moment before. Ron then looked at me worriedly; he continued to call out for my name since I still haven’t respond to him yet. Before I knew it, I had fainted.
I open my eyes, and next to me was Ron, he was right beside me holding onto my hand.
“Leila, you’re awake.” Ron said happily
“Where am I?” I asked
“You’re at the hospital. Don’t worry, everything is okay now.” Ron said
“What happened to Mr. Leung?” I asked him
“Don’t you worry; I called the police and told them what he did. That bastard’s definitely going to jail for what he’s done to you.” Ron said angrily
“He hasn’t touched me completely so that’s good.” I responded
“Good. By the way, are you hurt anywhere else?” Ron asked concerned
“No.” I responded to him quickly
Then I looked down at my hand, which Ron was still holding. He then noticed that and immediately let go.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-“Ron said as I cut him off
“It’s okay; I know that you didn’t mean to have other intentions.” I said
Ron then smiled at me
“Anyways, thank you for saving me.” I said
“No problem, anyone would do that.” Ron replied
All of a sudden, my head started to ache real bad again. I figured that it would come. I have this weird routine on my body, that is, whenever something bad had happened to me, a while later I would start to have a headache at first, then later I would lose control and start doing things to hurt myself. All this was caused after Matt’s death. After his death, I’ve gone through a year of depression, and after that I did things to myself and I just completely lose control over myself. I hurt myself and hurt other people physically; I even cut myself with a knife once. Whenever that happens, my grandma would have to try to stop me as best she can, and she would have to call the hospital so they could come and help me. People say that what I’m suffering through is some kind of mental problem, not a disease. I know that I have it, but it only comes up once in awhile.
“Ron, leave right now!” I told him as I have my right arm on my head. I want to tell him to leave now or else I might hurt him later when I lose total control over myself.
“What?” Ron asked confusedly
“Go now before I hurt you! I’m telling you, after anything bad had happened to me, then I would lose control and I would try to hurt myself and even others! Go now! Call the doctors or something!” I said quickly
Ron then looked at me with an odd looking face.
“Go!!” I shouted at him once more as I pushed the vase that was on the table that was beside me onto the ground. I’m beginning to lose control. Ron saw that and was startled by my actions, and now he had believed me. He quickly ran out of the rooms and call for the doctor.
I tried as hard as I can to control myself, but I can’t, I pushed everything that was around me down to the ground, I banged the walls, this pain inside really hurts, the only way to stop myself is that if I fainted. So then I banged my forehead to the wall, that’s when things started to calm down a bit. I felt my head spinning again, and before I knew it, I collapsed down to the ground. While I blacked out, I could still hear other people talking, I just can’t see them. Later I heard many foot steps running toward me, I could feel someone carrying me up back onto the bed, and I could also hear Ron calling out for my name. The doctor had given me a shot so I could fall asleep…
++Ron’s POV
As I look at Leila and see how much pain she is going through, it ripped my heart out. I looked at her, but I still didn’t know what to do. I really wanted to throw myself in to help her, but I don’t know how. I want to share the burden that’s on her, but I still don’t know exactly what her problem is. Again, I sat next to Leila watching as she sleeps. It’s good to see her calm now; she really scared me before when she lost control. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, it was Leila’s grandma.
“Oh my god…” Leila’s grandma said as she walks toward Leila’s bed. “My poor child.”
I looked at Leila’s grandma’s face and could tell that she is very worried. “She’ll be okay; she’s only sleeping right now.”
“Thank you young man, again you have helped us.” Leila’s grandma replied
“You’re welcome.” I responded
Leila’s grandma then sat down on the chair and had one of her hands covering one side of her face and she sighed and a heavily sigh.
“Is something wrong?” I asked her
“Leila, she has a very unfortunate life. At the age of seven, her parents divorced, and the both of them had left her. From that day on, I was the only one who took care of her. But of course, a grandma isn’t as best as having her mom and dad. Every night, she would sleep and cry in her sleep because she missed her parents so much. This had gone on for a whole year until she turned eight years old. After that, things had gotten a little better. Then when Leila was fifteen years old, her dad had came back and he told us that he knew what he’s done wrong and he’ll promise to take good care of Leila. And Leila of course agreed since she missed her dad so much. But then it turned out, he was only there to cause trouble for Leila and I. Every week these mean and bully people come to us and tell us that we have to pay money since Leila’s dad owe them a lot of money, at that time her dad had already left, leaving us to pay his debt. We had to work and pay them every month, and after six months, the debt was finally paid off. After that, we turned poorer then what we were, so Leila had to go to school then after school she had to go tutor the kid next door, and go work at the restaurant for enough money to pay our bills for the house. Good thing I have saved enough money for Leila to go to college, Leila is a very smart girl, and her dream was to become a professional lawyer. While she was in college, she met this young man name Matt. He was very nice, he would come to our house all the time and fix things around for us, and eventually Matt and Leila fell in love and became a couple. I didn’t have any problems with it because Matt is a very kind young man and I know he can bring happiness to Leila.” Leila’s grandmother sighed once more and continued on with her story “But unfortunately, almost two years ago, Matt was in a car accident which had killed him. Leila had witnessed his death, and after that day, Leila wasn’t the same sweet and talkative girl anymore, but she became so distant from everyone and barely even talk to anyone. She’s gone through a year of depression, everyday she would lock herself up in her room, she even tried not eating for three days. But for the sake of me, Leila started to eat again, not lock herself in her room anymore, and she began to go back to school again. I know that in front of me, she tries to act as happy as she could just for me to not worry, but whenever she goes into her room again, I know that the pain that had happened is still with her.”
I sat there listening carefully to Leila’s grandma talking about Leila’s tragic life, this made me even want to protect Leila even more. She had gone through so much, and many unfortunate things come to her. I couldn’t help but shed some tears after hearing this story.
“And what about Leila’s actions today? She couldn’t control herself, does she get this often?” I asked
“This also happened after Matt’s death. There was a time that she couldn’t help control her mind and she starts to do things that she didn’t even know she did. So after that, every once in a while that would happen, or if something bad happens to her then it would also come up too. Counting today, it had been her fifth time already.” Leila’s grandma said
“What did the doctors say about it? Is there anything to help cure it?” I asked again
“The doctor said that she’s fine, but what Leila is going through, is something to do with mentality. She would have to go see a psychiatrist. But, Leila had refused to go, I tried to convince her, but she keeps on telling me that she’s fine, and she will not go. When her mind is set, she will not change it.” Leila’s grandma replied
“Well, she has to though. We can’t just let her stay like this forever, it will kill her.” I said
“I don’t know…maybe you could help me convince her, but I really doubt that she’d listen to you.” Leila’s grandma said matter of fact
“No matter how low the chance is, I’m still going to try.” I said confidently
I then turned my attention back at Leila. For the rest of the night, I stayed at the hospital with Leila. I have to stay beside her, because if I leave, then I’m afraid she’ll do things to hurt herself again. I really hope that Leila will listen to me; I don’t want to see her go through pain anymore.
