Chapter 39
It was 4 pm and we were waiting on the beach.
Jessica and Ryan were going to meet Anita for the first time. Jessica seemed to be nervous but she didn't show her fear.
Finally I saw an umbrella approaching. It was Anita.
"Twan. Who are they?" She asked.
"This is Jessica my cousin and you know Ryan. They know everything." I answered.
"Okay. Twan. I'm very sorry for all the trouble I caused to you. But I didn't know what to do. I need your help." She said.
"Which type of help?" Jessica asked.
"Do you see this tomb?" She asked as she walks towards a tomb in the old beach graveyard.
We followed her and she sat on a particular tomb.
"In this tomb, my body is resting." She continued.
"But how did you die?" I asked.
"Suicide." She answered with a stab of guilt.
We were all silent and curious to know more about her past.
She continued: "Since my childhood I always dreamt of a perfect family. Alas, I never had one. I kept on watching my mother suffering since my very young age. My father, Seth Adams is a monster. He is worst than Satan. He is the reason behind my suicide." Anita explained.
"But Florence. I mean.... Anita. How is your suicide connected to him?" I asked.
"My so called father had another life outside the house. He was having an affair with our neighbour, Natalia. She was a widow who is currently his wife. Soon after my death, he married that woman and dumped my mother. If I didn't commit suicide, all of this would never happened." She elaborated.
"I didn't understand quiet well." Ryan said.
"Me too." I added.
Anita took a deep breath.
"My father, Mr Seth Adams had always been a monster. He never treated my mom well. Only his reputation and pride matters to him. He'd been hurting my mom a lot. I gradually became victim of depression. Everyday Seth Adams would create a new ruckus in the house. Everyday I would see my mom shedding tears of blood. I was tired of my life. I always wanted to help my mom but I would get beaten myself. One day, I suffered from high depression and I gave up my life. When the police investigated my death, I don't know how my father put all the blame on my mother. He said that I committed suicide because my mother forced me mentally. The police was going to arrest my mom but my father stopped them in order to show his fake goodness to the world, just as he does every time. But then, he made her his maid. The woman you met as a maid back in the house was none other than my mother, Seth Adams' wife. He then married Natalia, the woman with whom he always had an affair." Anita narrated as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"But, how come that we can still see you on earth? You're dead right?" Jessica asked.
"I am dead. But I am also punished." She said.
"Punished? Why? And how?" I asked.
"God is not going to accept my soul. That's what the guardian angel told me." Anita said.
