When Mala heard the tragic news about her sister, she ran home fast. When she got there, she slammed the door.
"WHY? WHY THIS HAS TO HAPPEN TO US?" She asked crying all over again.
"Oh dear come here," Khara said. Mala went to her mother and hugged her.
"We found something in her room," Mara told Mala.
"What is it?" She asked.
"She wrote a suicide letter..."
"Oh God," she said.
"We found it on her night stand, but we didn't read it yet, we wanted to wait til you got here," Mara informed.
"Okay what's it say?" She asked.
Mara reads the letter this time, and she starts reading in the beginning.
"Oh God her cursing. She must was really broken by something," Khara said with tears pouring down her face.
"She really hated us," Mara said.
When they read the last sheet, they were all astonished with boiling anger.
"MR. PERKINSON, I HAD HIM LAST YEAR, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT BASTERED ABUSED AND ACTUALLY RAPED OUR SISTER," Mala shouted.
"I KNOW," Mara said, frowning with rage.
Abe and Khara still in shock and did not say anything.
Mara read the whole letter.
"THAT'S THE REASON WHY SHE GOT SO ANGRY AND WE WASN'T THERE FOR HER, ESPECIALLY YOU MOMMY AND DADDY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO CALL YOU BOTH ANYMORE, YOU DIDN'T HELP HER..." Mala shouted.
"THAT'S ENOUGH MALA, I UNDERSTAND WE ALL ARE UPSET AND ANGRY HERE, BUT DON'T GO AROUND BLAMING EACH OTHER, SO YES WE COULD OF ASKED HER MORE QUESTIONS OR COULD OF GONE TO THERAPY LIKE YOU DID, WE KNOW THAT WOULD OF REALLY HELPED HER SHARE HER TRUTH SO PLEASE DON'T BLAME NO ONE. SO FOR NOW ON, NO ONE KEEPS ANYMORE SECRETS, THIS TIME WE ARE GOING TO TALK MORE SERIOUSLY ABOUT OUR WELL BEINGS EVERYDAY OVER DINNER, SO NO MORE SECRETS, I'M TIRED GODDAMIT, WE ALL ARE TIRED AND SAD," Abe said loud and firm.
"I'm gonna kill Mr. Perkinson, I'm gonna buy a gun," Mala said.
"No Mala, no grudges, no holding grudges or killing no one, you will end up in prison," he instructed.
"I don't care," she said.
"I know, and the devil is telling me that I should take that mutherfucker down myself in his classroom, but that's not righteous, we seek justice for our daughter, and Trenti as well, so no killing, we do it the right way," he informed.
Everyone gathered together and hugged each other.
