Episode 14
âAnd what kiki?ââ Deborah asks, Kiki lowers her head
ââGo onâ Sean says
Megan felt like flinging a chair his way⊠she
bites her lips,
ââMummy gets sad too, and I donât like when
she gets sad and I know itâs my faultââ
âWhat is your fault kiki?ââ
Megan is staring at her daughter now
âI hear her cry sometimes in the shower or in
the car, and she keeps looking at the picture of
my grandpa and grandma, do you know I
havenât ever met them? But she cries and when
I ask her she tells me she isnât crying. And I feel
bad because I feel itâs because of me ââ
âOh kikiââ Megan breaths going on her knees
facing kiki
âWhat about your daddy, is your mummy sad
about your daddy? Does your daddy hurt you,
does your mummy hurt you, tell me Kiki itâs
okayââ
Kiki shakes her head, but her eyes pools âI
havenât met my daddy either, mummy says he
went to heaven. Aunty, why did God take my
daddy, why didnât he let me see him and have
him give me piggy rides and come to parents
day to sit me in school or drop me at school
or..or..â she sniffs âbuy me ice-cream and tug
me into bed at night. Why did God take my
daddy without letting me tell him I love him too
as I love mummy and have him⊠him hold
mummy and tell her itâs all going to be okay and
that she should stop crying and that I wouldnât
be naughty again, I wonât throw tantrums and I
wouldnât be sad againââ she sniffs as tears fall down her eyesâŠ
ââOh kiki, no baby, no baby, itâs not your fault,
itâs not your faultâ Megan cries as she shakes
her head, cleaning her daughterâs eyes..
âMummy loves you so so much and itâs not
because of you, Never!â
ââBut why do you keep hurting and cryingâ
âBecause, because ââ Megan trails off âBecause mummies gets sad too, life, work, those we care about but it has nothing do with you sweat pea,
I promise. Okay, mummy wonât ever cry again
okay?ââ
âPinky-swear?ââ Kikina cleans her eyes giving her mother her little finger
âPinky-swear!â Megan takes kikiâs finger and
pulling it with hers, kiki smiles, her face
brightens up again,
âCome here kiddoâ Megan stretches her hands
wide, Kiki laughs rushing into them, Megan
kisses all over her face and kiki mimics her
mother, Megan laughs.
Deborah stares at the mother and child,
straightening up⊠she turns to Sean, walking
towards him⊠âMr Sean, I do understand your
concern, but if you have just witnessed what I
just did, you would realise that there is no abuse
here, but love and pain. Maybe from a deceased
husband and father and a woman who has
issues with her family but you can see that both
mother and daughter love each other dearly and
itâs not forced. And we have no idea what she
had gone through or what both mother and child
are coping with ⊠I can state that a child who
has no father figure, would feel that gap, there
would always be a need she wants in her life
and maybe who knows how the relationship was
between mother and husband⊠whatever it is got
the child sensitive but⊠bottom line, no abuse
here Mr Sean, so I would ask if you would want
to withdraw your filing?ââ
Sean stares at her and at them..
True, a child who is being abused canât show
that genuine emotion towards her abuser even
though forced. He may still be put off by the
motherâs atitude towards him which still got him curious butâŠstill.. he was too fast at judging. He
was wrong. He almost separated a child from
her mother, he felt bad, he felt shame âI
withdrawâ he states.
Deborah smiles nodding âVery well, I will handle
itâ she turns to Megan and kiki âKiki, I am so
sorry for any discomfort my presence must have
caused you, I duly apologies . You have a
beautiful daughter and whatever gap her father
has left I am sure you are doing your absolute
best to make her feel loved and she exudes
same for you. I am so sorry, and I hope one day
whenever we see we can be civil towards each
other Mrs?ââ she says stretching out her hands
Megan straightens up, cleaning her eyes, kiki is
hugging her again, but kiki is staring at Sean..
âIts Miss, Miss Megan Phillipsââ
Sean looks up sharply
âWell Miss Megan Philips, have a good day and
you kiki, be good to mummy okay?â
ââYesâ they shake hands,
Deborah nods to Sean and leaves.
That name, that name sounds very familiar, why
did that name cause a frown? He couldnât
understand why.
That name, where has he heard it before? And
who.. why didâŠArgh, he doesnât
remember.,Megan and Kiki are walking away.
ââErm, Miss Megan Philips, I am so sorry, I
didnât realize ⊠I just-ââ
The slap caused him to stagger backwards..he
holds his face
âYou are a b—–d, how dare you do this,
reporting me to child services, you almost ripped
my daughter away from me, she is all that I
have, all that I have, All!! How dare you!!ââ the
tears flows down her eyes..
âMummyââ kiki tugs at her hands,
âMummy, donât be mad at him, he is my friend,
he wouldnât do it again, right Uncle?ââ Kiki tugs at Seanâs hands, he looks down , blinking as his
vision clears
He bends to her level as the pain stings his face
âYes, I wouldnât. I am sorry kiki, do you forgive
me?ââ yes, he messed up.
He almost destroyed a home, he deserved the
slap.
Kiki nods âI forgive you.ââ
âWill your mummy forgive me too?â he says
looking up at Megan, she turns away..
âYou had no right, stay away from my daughterâ
Megan says pulling kiki away from him
Kiki turns to him âmummy likes flowers, white
liliesââ she whispers waving and turning away
Sean straightens up, touching his face.
Damnit !!â
Well, he messed up, he had to make things
right..
Now, where would he get white lilies from?ââ
