"Kionna ..." Mr Indra called softly to Kionna.
"What's wrong, Pa? Kionna is here," answered Kionna and immediately approached the side of the father.
Plakk...
Indra tightly slapped one of Kionna's cheeks, leaving a cut at the corner of her lips.
Kiona gasped when her father slapped her so hard. She winced in pain and wiped the corners of her bloodied lips with her handkerchief briefly. She could only look down and resign himself to seeing her father treating him like that.
"Here!" Indra said forcefully, asking Kionna to come closer to him.
Kionna could only surrender to her father's request to be closer to his side. However, there may be another slap waiting and will land on the other cheek.
After approaching, Indra whispered something to Kionna. "..."
"Pa! Please don't do that to us!" Kionna said quickly and hysterically in fright.
"..." The papa again whispered something to Kionna.
