Chapter Eight-Dejected

Ruined. That was her. She can never have back that happy life she once had nor would she be surrounded by people she loved most.

Dejected.

That's how she felt. She was lost to the world as she sat alone on the bench at the bus stop. Her face was in her arms as she wept bitterly. Why was she even crying?

She wondered.

No amount of tear can bring back her lost pride and innocence. She raised up her head slowly to look around her. There was only a dad and his daughter at the bus stop waiting for the next bus. She looked at them and shook her head. Why does everything have to remind her that her father was gonna hate her? She shook her head letting go of the tears she was fighting to hold back.

Her eyes were still on the man and his daughter who seemed to be waiting for a bus. The girl was likely to be around five or six, her blonde hair was held in a ponytail while she dressed in a blue knee length dress and black sandals. She had a little doll in her left hand while her right held unto her father's.

The little girl noticed her and gave her a full innocent grin flashing her white set of teeth. Raina forced a smile at the girl who blushed and looked away for a while before shaking her father's hand; "Dad, look beautiful lady is hurt and crying!" She informed her father who turned to give Raina a look.

His eyes widened a bit when he saw her white dress which was ripped soaked in her own blood;

" Are you okay Miss?" He asked with concern stricken face. Raina nodded her head dejectedly. The man still looked at her not convinced but he never said anything. Just then a bus stopped in front of them and both he and his daughter got in. All the while she was staring at them with sad eyes.

"You coming or what?" The bus driver asked her a bit annoyed and just then she realized the bus had been waiting on her. Where would she go if she boarded the bus so she shook her head slowly and the bus immediately took off.

She burst out crying as the truth dawned on her she had no where to go to and it's already quite late.

She had never spent the night outside and she was scared to do so. What if something bad happens to her again? She went into a state of shock as the cold wind hit her and she began to shiver uncontrollably.

She was so lost in her own scary thought that she didn't see the white car stop by her and the elderly lady who got down from it approaching her.

"Baby Doll" The all too familiar voice called to her as she immediately looked up to see the one face she had missed staring at her with sad and worried eyes. She quickly ran to hug the woman tightly sniffing in her same usual scent which she hadn't smelled for so long a time. She wept more when the woman hugged her;

"Who did this to you?" She asked with croaky voice which showed she was finding it hard to break down.

" How did you find me?" Raina asked her instead still weeping.

" I came to visit and heard from Magarita , they throw you out?" She asked again and Raina nodded as she let go of her and stared at her with pleading teary eyes;

" I'm innocent, believe me Grandma I was set up and hurt and...and...!" She was choked by her own tears.

" Shush, it's ok baby doll!" Maa Samira her father's aunt who loved her most consoled her as she caressed her cheeks wiping the tears which continued to roll down. " You're gonna stay with me until the tension reduces okay?" She informed and Raina quickly nodded thanking her Allah that she wouldn't have to spend the night outside in the cold and where all the dangers lie.

Maa Samira her father's aunt probably her Grandma stayed in Nowhere, Ohio where she had a three bedroom apartment situated on a quite place surrounded by trees and a bit of dessert. She was a woman who believed in nature and peace that was why she moved herself to this isolated place but her apartment was good looking and cool to stay in as Raina and RidWan had often visited her and they also loved the serene environment.

It wouldn't be bad to relocate to her Grandma's apartment in Nowhere, Ohio after what had happened to her. She needed the peace and was glad that at least one person believed her.

But ... it was too late. Her life was ruined. She wouldn't have her innocence back, her virginity which was brutally snatched away from her.

"Let's go now Doll!" Maa Samira cut into her thoughts as she helped towards the car. She was still finding it difficult to walk on her own due to the excessive pain.

She helped take the seat next to the driver's while her Grandma took in her place behind the steering wheel; " Everything's gonna be alright!" She assured rubbing her left thigh while she gave her a smile which seemed a little forced but heart warming. She brought the engine to life and their journey to Nowhere, Ohio began.
