Death is not the answer my dear

August 5-2

" I want to die, Auntie, life has no more meaning since my father is dead and mom is nowhere to be found to support me " Emy cried to the lady who helps her.

Hello awesome read cashers, happy weekend to my fellow Filipino here.

I hope all of you are in good hands and doing well whatever our task and wherever we are in this universe.

My article tonight is a sequel to little Emy's childhood rough journey in this world.

Not so long when Emy was taken care of by her good lady neighbor, the lady got an illness that led her to be brought by the family downtown for a check-up and hospitalized.

Emy was entrusted to the lady's brother inlaw with his wife who happen to be the caretaker of the house while the family was away.

Unfortunately, the couple neglected little Emy. She experiences being hungry and just eats a little or eat a leftover from the couple. She is not being taken care of as the lady requested her brother-in-law to do so. They left enough rice for them to consume, viand is not a problem in the village because there is a lot if you are not lazy to fetch as the lady has a lot of vegetable plants too aside from those you naturally found in nature such as shell and fish from the river.

The news of Emy's being neglected reached the lady and she is bothered about the kid's situation and asks one of the villagers to check about the kid and if it is necessary she will be brought downtown too.

Then one day a villager came down and told that little Emy was taken by them and lived in their house, this is good news to the lady.

Time went by and the lady get well a little and decided to go home together with her husband to check for their belongings in the village.

Upon arriving, Emy went to the lady's house to say hello. Here the little girl's confession shook the lady's heart.

According to Emy, the couple to whom she is entrusted treats her badly, the wife told her that she is not a part of the family and that she should go with her real relatives.

One relative arrived and force her to go with her uncle, her father's brother. The thing is this brother is like a demon who destroys the girl's innocence. Alas! The lady gets furious upon knowing what was happened to her and told Emy to sue his Uncle to get justice for what he did but Emy refused. She sobs saying that the culprit scared her and that he will kill her if she spills what happened. She even wishes to just die.

The lady comforted little Emy telling her that death is not the solution to her problem.

Although, no case is filed the lady shares with her husband about Emy's plight. The husband decided to confront Emy's uncle. As they expected the uncle denied and even said that Emy is lying and that she has a big mouth saying impossible things. since then they want the kid to be brought to the other uncle living in another village to live there. They said she can go to school if she is with them because they are near the school area.

Although the lady wants Emy to stay again with them she has no right at all because the kid was already threatened and has no will to say what she wants.

They parted ways again as the lady was being brought back downtown for her medical treatment. Unfortunately, only a couple of months passed she succumbed to her illness and passed away.

During the burial, Emy wasn't there. She is away with her uncle in the nearby village already, she never glances anymore at the lady who shows her love and care.

When some relatives came down for the burial where Emy's mother's family was living the lady's husband told them to take Emy immediately from the uncle in the other village for some news of maltreatment reached them. According to some concerned people from the area, poor Emy was like a housemaid in her uncle's house, doing errands that her body can't hardly handle. The uncle's wife was also unfair, the fault of her kids falls to Emy that the little girl suffered beating and spanking from her. According to the source, she does even not go to school as they promised.

Fortunately, after a couple of weeks, the news of Emy's rescue was successful, upon hearing the good news the lady's family is happy despite mourning.

Years pass by she and her mother have reunited once again and lived together. Her mother and husband have no kids so Emy just completes their family.

Emy was a grown woman now, independent and have a life on her own.

Maybe you are wondering why Emy's rescue takes so long. I think because of miscommunication. According to them (Emy's mother's side) the uncle by which Emy was maltreated the girl doesn't want to be with her mother's family, aside from that Emy was not familiar with them since she was born. It takes her (Emy) to decide too long. I can't blame her for that too because she is just a kid back then.

I have to go again guys for my time is up for this. I hope you like what I shared tonight. Thank you all for your unending support though I wasn't that active anymore. But I promise to catch up with you guys as time permits me.

Take care and I love you all💚.
