Don't cry for someone who killed your smile.

-LOVE_WHISPERED.

Mercy pov:

Everyone life was changed by the four alphabets and one word 'Love' but in my case, that was a different. 'Sold'. This word made you strange?

I shook my hand. For me, it was once familiar. I got to experience the real meaning of sell. This common word made a huge turn off. Had you ever heard that trust exchange of dollars? No?Then you were not still face to the actual world. I was also in my fairy tale dream until he betrayed me, actually he didn't sell me but my trust, my entire love.

Didn't the 'sell' suits in the business where the product sold to the consumer to satisfy. Wait, wait, wait, in my life I was the product and my husband was a dealer. And guess what? Mr. Alfanso was a buyer, and I would be satisfied him on a warm huge bed and do many more thing on his one gesture. I pursued my lips together thinking about myself in a hell.

I heard that everyone was temporary in our life except husband. Because he was exclusively one who supported all the way and love the until last breath. Didn't this statement false? Had he ever really loved me? Somehow, I didn't think either.

My eyes stopped forming new tears. Probably, my heart accepted that because of money,  he sold me to the devil, who harassed me like a slave slut. He didn't even care of her little daughter. The dream about Autumn's admission, a huge party on her sweet sixteen and finding boyfriend for her. The dreams were vanished like a salt on a water.

I..I..I mean, my trust winded out from the love. My situation was worse than a widow. Atleast, widow could cry but me, by the way, for whom could I cry?

"How he dared to ki--" Hannah stopped her mumbling, when her eyes landed on me. She shut the door and removed her heels, her eyes not leaving my side all the time and with bare feet she reached at mine side.

She wiggled her brows whilst pouring a water into the glass. "What happened? What brought you here, in my house? Don't you spend your time with your lovey dovey family?" She sounded each word in astonishment then sat beside me on the brown rock couch. She sipped a water and put the glass back as she saw something on my face, narrowing her eyes to suspect mine.

"What?" I interrogated as I broke the eye contact and bowed down my head. I ignored her questions because I knew, she asked my explanation. My mind stuck on one thing that after revealing the truth, what would be her reaction? She might be mad on me for letting Autumn with the monsters. But the situation wasn't in my hand.

She placed a small pillow on her lap and with a confuse voice, " Why are your eyes swell up? Did you cry?" Her expression turned into nervous and waiting for my response. I bit my quivering lower lip not to broke down, again.  I grabbed my inner flesh cheek. Like a dead meat, I fell my head on her shoulder.

"Mer--" I cut off her and made a decision to elaborate the morning incident.

"Everything is over," My voice was no longer cheerful, it became lifeless. Again, my eyes felt the wetness. I closed my teary lashes. I knew, it wouldn't hold back, and I couldn't have dare to stop.

"What over?"

It was laborious to explain her more than accepted the fact. "He bro-broke my tru-trust, h-he snatched m-my mem-memory, he drowned my lov-love." I managed to  announce in one breath, I tried, trying not to cry for that person who didn't deserve me. But how could I forget him? How could I erase the memory that only belongs for him? How? I screamed out, tears were shredding many emotions out.

Hannah jerkily straightened me, and I wiped my face through my fingers. "Who? And what the hell are you talking about?" she shouted in anger as well as bemused. No, she was never tempered on me but she couldn't tolerate my tears. She eagerly waited for my answer.

I took a deep breath, "--and Mr. Alfanso procured my-my house. I'm shelter less." I narrated an entire incident whilst sobbing like there was no tomorrow, and wish there wouldn't be tomorrow but I had to fight, fight for me, fight for Autumn.

"That David bastard didn't falter for doing this deed. " Hannah clenched her fist in rage, gritting her teeth so badly. She swiped my strain tears from my pale and dull face and hugged me by a neck.

"He doesn't deserve your and Autumn's love. One day, he will regret it." She drew a circle on my back, of course to soothe me, but it didn't calm my mind, especially to my heart. Everything was served in so speedy that I couldn't had time to think that what the  actually was happening in my life.

"Once, mom said me that love is an armor from the devil. What type of love I had? Is this love?" I asked myself more than inquired from Hannah.

"Love is color-less, we can't determine which color plays what type of role in our life." She said, diverting herself from  monotone to me.

"I hate love. I hate love, I don't like the word of love. Is this love where father dealt his innocent daughter, one husband sold his wife's faith. Did he think us as a container box? He left me like a nothing happened. I tried to contact hi-him because... " I gulped my saliva facing to Hannah. Her eyes filled with tears as well. "Because, I didn't trust on sucks paper and his signature. I thought that it was a plan of Mr. Alfanso to separate us. But he lef-left me already, no one knows where he is?"  I unburdened myself whilst hiccuping  in between.

"It means he didn't love me." I sighed a high rate. I chewed my inner flesh cheek not to cry again for that bastard.

"Hannah," I called her in low and cracky voice. She only hummed as she didn't have words. I lifelessly landed my head on her lap, and the tears were wetting her dress. "Can you do some magic, so I could forget the memory of him from first meeting to till now?" I demanded, whilst rubbing my nose.

"No and no one have. You have to erase him from your heart yourself." She caressed my hair through her fingers as she gave me a disappoint answer. I closed my eyes and hoping that my tornado life would change again to cheerful and chirpy. I missed my old life.

"I don't believe that David bastard turned into the devil." She cursed him, and said many more things which I probably skipped.

"And that heartless arrogant Alfanso, he thinks that world would dance on his finger. I never forgive him. He and his puppet pursue anything they desire. How dared he to kis--" Her and mine eyes met but mine was showing a clear confusion, and her was a bundle of anxiety. Did she mean kiss?

"Huh?"

"I-I  mea-mean to say, he and his puppet KEPT Autumn. I will cut him and his bal-- " I sat up in a jerk, made Hannah block in a mid way as she realized my nervousness. Again, my idiot eyes started to forming water.

"Autumn!!! She must be hungry at this time. Had they given food or not. Hannah, what if they beat my Autumn. What if--" Hannah placed palms on my lips to stopped to saying those nightmares words.

"Shush, nothing will be happened to her. She will be alright. Trust me. God never suffers their child for a longer." She whispered in sooth tone and handed me a glass of water and gestured to drink it.

I was a mother, how I supposed not to worry. 'I promise my babe, your daddy sins won't harm you not even your hair. I will protect you like a shield.'

My quivering lips touched the cold glass edge and the chill water slide down in my harsh throat.

"Mercy," I blankly starred at her when she turned to my side, fiddling her  fingers. She always played with it when she was nervous. This caused me more distress.

"Actually, I'm also worried for Autumn." She confessed in a low tone as she lowered her head. "Mr. Alfanso was a dangerous man, he could anything in his one snap." She added more drastic tension in my head. In no minute, the cold sweat covered my face. 

He snatched many life, he wouldn't hesitate for snatch one more life. Those thoughts whimper me as a hell. Mercy, Mercy. Be positive. Calm down. Nothing bad would happen. 

I shot her a death glare. Did she really here to help and calm me by saying those stupid words? "Hannah, you scared me. " I scolded her in a frustration.

Hannah wrapped her both hands around my palms, making apologetic face. "Hey, don't worry.  My heart says that she is healthy. " She assured and made me relief a little. 'Mine too.' but though.

"When they will return her?" I shook my head on her question, actually I didn't have the answer not even next step should I follow. I even didn't have any plan or enough bunch of money to release my baby from their dirty hands. So what? I wouldn't put hand on a hand and wait for the opportunity.

I burst into a tears, I want my Baby return. I couldn't live without her.I would die without her.

Tin, Tin Tin...

I brought up from my long trance when my cell phone beeped. Hannah indicated me that she was going to pick up. She stretched her hand towards round wooden table and slide to unlock in the cell phone. "It's a message," she suspiciously said, I knitted my brows together. Who messaged me?

"It's unknown number," she declared and paused for a second, "Let me check,"

Her mouth hanged up and her eyes  widened more and more, probably because of the message which she was reading. Did there  anything wrong in it? "What?" I asked her but she didn't reply me. As curiosity killing me, I snatched cell phone from her hand  and my beats stopped on seeing  the bold letters.
