Chapter 129 - Caught and Clarity (2) (1/2)
Standing from outside, one could feel the extreme heat coming from the facility that was currently raging with fire. There was a crowd outside looking desolate. Firefighters were desperate on trying to save whoever was inside as well as killing the fire. There were also police cars and ambulances.
What was more eye-catching was a bunch of men was holding 2 young men down, as well as 3 middle-age men looking at the facility with dead eyes.
They arrived too late. When they all came, the facility was already burning. The police caught some men who were fortunate to escape the calamity, as well as save some who was inside. But there was no news of the person that they were looking for.
Alex and Colm wanted to storm into the facility and look for her but their father's men caught and held them down. They too were feeling sad and hopeless, as they were part of the team who was desperately looking for April.
”AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” Alex screamed as he fought to escaped their holds but he could not fight 5 men at once.
His eyes were red with madness, along with tears falling on his face. It was as if April and he were fighting a losing battle. Every time, something would come out to bring them apart. Why? Why did she have to go through all this crappy life? Why was her life so miserable? Why was GOD so unfair to her? Doesn't GOD love everyone equally? Why?! Just Why?! ”WHYYYYYYY??!!!!!” Alex shouted again. He fought all his might but couldn't break free.
Everyone was looking at him with sadness in their eyes. By the look of the fire, no one would be able to survive it.
Unlike Alex, Colm already stopped fighting the men that were holding him down. He too could understand that she was gone. Forever gone from him. No more April with her innocent smile and laughter. No more April who will bring him happiness, even if being with her brought him pain and jealousy. Colm could only cry silently as if holding what was left of her memories.
Thinking that finally, her nightmares had ended. Finally, she was going to be free from all her demons on her head. Hoping that in her next life, she would be having a normal and happy life.
Colm deeply sighed and look at the dark night sky. There wasn't a star in the sky tonight, he thought. Tears fell silently on his handsome face. April, wherever you are. Please have a good life.
