Because of a Dream

Part 3's. The Struggle for Justice

So the next day when the sun began to rise, villagers came to the village hall to see what kind of punishment Christine should receive.

The five wives of the man were there. And they tried to pour out their anger on Christine in front of many people, even though they had tried to prevent her. One of them, the man's oldest wife, said,

"All of you, listen!

We know that our husbands are heavy drinkers and like to be troublemakers. His life never brought good to others.

But not for us. Although he was often rude to us, but at least he still fed us. He was like that only when he was drunk.

Thanks to him, we were able to stay and sleep comfortably at home. We ourselves were difficult and poor women before we married her. So poor that you look at us one eye. We are not educated. Because we are also the ones who managed to escape during the civil war in our area. And all five of us survived. But you didn't give us a ride because you thought we were bad guys. But that drunk man, he gave us his home to live in. And we are willing to marry her. It's better than hanging on the street. But after he died, that comfort was lost. His whole family came and took everything from us. Even the clothes that were supposed to be ours were also taken away. They are so greedy and greedy.

Now we have nothing.

Let alone to buy warm clothes, even to eat we have to beg for the mercy of others.

It all happened because of this damn girl. If only he hadn't killed her, we wouldn't be like this. We won't be miserable like this."

She cried bitterly after pouring out all her feelings. But then suddenly the other wife became very angry and furious. They lost patience and tried to attack Christine who was still tied at the post. But some residents quickly blocked him and protected him.

The village chief did not remain silent. After the atmosphere started to calm down, he asked Christine carefully and asked for her explanation. He said,

"Why are you silent about all these accusations?

Why don't you defend yourself?

Say something so we can consider it. Don't just shut up.

We don't even know where you came from and how you got here. And messed up in this place.

You've been detained here for two days. But your mom and dad didn't come looking for you.

Do you have no parents?"

But Christine did not answer a word. He had promised the host not to speak a word.

While the father hansip can only see it from a distance and very pity. But can't do anything.

So seeing the same reaction for a second time, they were angry with Christine. Some of them cursed him, and scorned him. Until the atmosphere became so noisy. And the hostess, also the head of the village who worked hard to calm them back.

Then the village chief sent the men home and to work. So they began to leave the place one by one while murmuring.

The village chief also ordered that Christine be closely guarded.

What an unfair thing for an innocent teenage girl in the least.

Then when night fell, the man quietly went to the village hall to meet Christine. He also brought food and a glass of water for her. Once there, he immediately gave the food to her and told her to eat. He said,

"Son, this is eat first.

After that, I will help you get out of here.

Go far away. It's so far away that no one can find you.

The people of this undeveloped village will not accept you even if you speak the truth. Because you have no supporters here. You're not a citizen here either."

As she spoke, Christine ate so voraciously from being so hungry. Even he was willing.

After that, the host immediately untied his hands and feet, then told him to leave quietly. He said,

Run and don't look back."

"But what if I get caught?" Reply Christine.

"If you run with focus, you won't get caught.

You will arrange everything here. You will make it look as if you were eaten by a wild animal.

I'll smear your outerwear with chicken blood. And I'll try to convince them that you're eaten by a beast."

"But are you sure? What if they find out?"

"You don't be afraid!

Father will take care of it. Don't think about it.

But, just pray that the father succeeds in deceiving them and survived. You understand, right?"

He nodded his head and started crying. Then the host said again,

"Run now!"

So Christine immediately ran away with all her might and did not look back like a message hansip it.

He managed to run very far away leaving the village and arrived at another village that was slightly more crowded and more advanced.

As for the hansip, he remained at the village hall and started working on everything as planned.

After that he went home and prayed that Christine's escape would not be hindered. And so that he himself may be saved.

**********

In a village as crowded as the small town, Christine noticed a pick up parked in front of a grocery store. Then he quietly went into the pick-up tub, which was full of vegetables and hid there.

Although he does not know where the pick-up will go, he is confident that his life will be better.

Not long after, the driver got into the car and drove away.

He was so tormented and desperate in that pick-up tub. Even so, he tried to survive and did not make a sound so as not to be discovered.

So after driving all night, the pick-up car finally arrived in another city that was a little bigger and crowded.

Then the driver came down to meet someone. Christine came down quietly and ran away.

But suddenly his gaze was distracted by a poster that was none other than the poster of his idol. It was in front of a clothing store.

So he paused for a moment and began to fantasize. Smile to himself and occasionally laugh like crazy.

The people who passed from the front of the store also looked at it in wonder while shaking their heads. Some laughed at him, others mocked him.

Because of the crowd, the shopkeeper came out and kicked him out.

He said,

"Hey! Go there!

You just dirty my shop. Laughing like crazy. Even kiss posters all. There go!"

Then he went from there. Go wherever his feet step. Later he was very tired because he could not sleep all night. His stomach is hungry too. But he kept walking. For a long time his gaze began to blur and he began to stagger until he finally fell unconscious on the road. He lay unconscious for hours but no one reached out his hand to help him. They think Christine is a lunatic. So they let him go until finally a scavenger helped him and took him to his house. In the meantime, he's still unconscious.
