Destroyed

The past has an #insatiable hunger to consume the present and the future. Politicians know that too well. Nationalism and patriotism would be nothing without that.

I am digressing.

I have to meet him. The guy my daughter put in jail for abusing her.

My kid was 13. He was 17. Both were destroyed.

He was her hero. The typical schoolgirl crush for the senior star. When I found his photo in her room, I asked her teachers if there’s going to be trouble. He’s not that type, they said. Not a teachers’ pet, they added. They were surprised when he confessed. Without a fight.

He repeated her accusation in his confession, don't know why, Insp. Shokie told me. It was her first case.

Didn’t he know what he was getting into? I have thought a lot about that. When I am not fighting my daughter’s next battle. She is in a state of free-fall. That’s how it is for one with bad luck. Or is it bad karma?

I can’t help her anymore. Can he?

He has just got out. It's Shokie who suggested that he should meet my daughter. She’s not the motherly kind but I could sense a bit of that in her. With him. She didn’t tell me to get lost with my daughter. I would have.

TBC? Whaddayasay?
