Unknown Rapist Father

10:30 AM

George Bush Center, Langley Virginia, CIA HQ

"Do we have something remotely substantial?"

"There's a 5M disbursement, Sir," the US Secretary Jean Harp responded.

"Allam Mussad is a major player. It should be more impressive if we knew where he was." Director of the CIA, John Ashworth said.

"Jean, please connect with SAS Chief Mr. Colin Sinclair. We have to locate the location of this man!"

"Understood Sir."

Back at the Japanese camp in Myanmar, it was the sixteenth of the month and two weeks remains before completion of the architectural works for the administration building.

The workforce was doing its best to get the job done.

Additional overtime was not allowed in the country due to curfew hours. However, the construction was ahead of the intended schedule for the handover.

Nearing five in the afternoon, the employees hurriedly took their line on the time machines.

 The curfew is at 6:00 PM.

For those without a service car, they have to walk a couple of miles to get back at the site camp.

Remo put on his gloves and safety helmet.

"Let's go Peter. Take some of the senior Myanmar engineers to hitch with us." He said pulling off his smartphone.

There was a text from Takeda San.

"Remo San, your tickets with Peter San have been processed by HQ office in Tokyo. You will leave to your home country end of this month before proceeding to Laos."

The message was accompanied by soft copies of the tickets.

"Understood, Sir.' he types back.

"Who was it, bro?"

"A message from Takeda San. Please inform our engineers to get inside the car!"

Suddenly his phone rang with a call from Mayi.

"Just a minute. I'll take this call."

Remo walked a few distance from the group. He needs to make sure no one is around to hear his conversation.

"What's up babes?"

"I received your tickets from Tokyo and forwarded to the boss. I wanted to see you tonight!"

"Sure babes… Will catch you up in the cabin! Staff are waiting for me at the service car."

Taking his seat, he wondered what to say with Mayi now that he would be leaving.

He has been preparing to meet his "beloved mother," Master Jon, and Lady Margaret who has been eager to see him.

While the car was travelling, his memories blurred at this point...

He remembered his waiting family... a father that never came home.

He was six years old when his mother let him sit on her lap.

Elisa knew it was the right time since Remo had asked her about his father he had never seen.

His son realized it when he enrolled him during his grade school a father was omitted in his birth certificate.

Its time for her to convey the untold story.

This way, there will be less conflict with more trust in-between.

"Son, listen carefully." The worrying line on her forehead seems to grow deeper.

"I kept this secret from you for a long-time, kiddo. I admit to wait until you have grown up."

Hearing her mother opened up after six years of his life, Remo was no less than surprised.

What he has been asking the most... today it will end.

He kept his eyes glued to her mother while he listened.

"I didn't mention these to you for all these years until you fully understand the meaning of our situation... I'm sorry!"

Elisa curled the corner of her lips while she goes on.

"The incident happened when I was alone in the school dorm during my first year in University. The man who forced himself to me was someone I do not know."

Elisa paused momentarily trying to remember holding back her emotions.

Her eyes were beginning to redden trying to hold the tears.

She embraced Remo tightly in her arms to keep control of herself.

"Heck son... I couldn't even remember his face since it was very dark. I was alone during that time. Everyone except me had already gone home for vacation."

Remo remained silent digesting the shameful experience of his "beloved mother."

He started breathing in a longer time feeling the immense pain and complexity surrounding her sufferings.

It was understandable he was looking for some support and empathy from the sex violence.

The muscles in his bones were starting to feel resentment as if they were stretching.

But he kept his calm to let her continue…

"That night, I cried and struggled, kiddo." she said in a coquettish voice.

"But that despicable man was too strong for me. He cupped my mouth so tight I could not even shout for help. He dragged me down the bed then punched my stomach."

Tears were starting to fall…

"Looking defeated, I became weak; I could no longer move. Then he pulled down my underwear. I became hysterical but could only cry in pain."

Her eyes now shone with a killing intent.

" After the assault, I kept my composure and went to sleep. I said to myself, the thought of that incident was only a dream."

She consoled herself while bothering to wipe the tears with her palm.

"Back when I was home in the province, I soon realized the enormity of the situation. However, I still kept the secret to myself. I did not inform your grandparents."

She hugged Remo harder then kissed his forehead as they stay connected.

"I was a rebellious child before. I grew up with a family who has strict authority at home."

Holding her breath, she mumbled into his ears.

"The reason I became defiant and angry was when your grandfather does not even appreciate everything that I do while living together as a family. To compensate for my depression, I talk back when spoken and started challenging their authority."

Remo could feel the defiant emotion from his mother.

"Later, they sent me away to the city to complete my schooling and enrolled me in another university away from them."

Elisa started sobbing again.
