Chapter 64 - Proper Closure

Yesterday is such a memorable day. It was fun and at the same time Noah's kind of annoying. He always teased me but in the end he'll make me laugh just like how he used to.

My mom is also happy that me and Noah are okay now. I don't know how she found out that Noah is upset that day. I wanna ask her but I forgot so I'll just let it go like that.

We're here at the coffee shop now, we're talking to our lawyer since my Dad's case were now ready. We have our evidences like my mother's date of medical results for her injuries that she got from my father. The time and date was exactly aligned to how he ends up beating her intentionally.

I always felt angry whenever I think about it.

"He'll ends up in prison if he was sentenced as a guilty..." Atty. Green says.

"I don't care, Attorney. I want my father to pay for his sins,"

I glanced at Noah who's now holding my hand below the table. He smiles and nod.

"Okay, so here's the thing that you must and mustn't do in court.."

He instructed and advised us everything that will happen in the court as we give our statements as his family or I mean his house mates, because he never treated us as his own.

My brothers are going to be the witnesses, so I hope their statements are enough proof to indict my father.

"Are you okay?" Noah asks in the middle of the ride.

"Yeah. I was just thinking if our statements are enough.."

I was born being his punching bag and I don't wanna be like that anymore..

"That depends on the judges, baby. Whatever their decisions are, it's not your fault. But when the result is good, I would definitely jump in happiness for you," He smirked and I can't help but to chuckled.

He held my hand while driving. He's done enough. Noah stayed here for a long time and I think it's the time for him to go back. I can't watch him fall apart just because of me.

"I'm not going to leave you, baby.." He glanced at me. Shit.

I bit my lip and turn my eyes on the window. How would I open it up to him?

"Your mom went to see your father today--"

"WHAT?"

My anger rise when he said it. I don't want them to meet again! I thought my mom would stay in our house today and she never told me that she'll go to him!

Damn it!

"She's alright, Drake went with her," He said and move the manual to the right.

"Can we go there right now?" I asked. I would prefer to go there with them.

"Right now?"

"Yes," I gave him my serious expression.

"O-okay,"

He turn the car around and drive towards the prison. I hate to see my father inside the prison and the reason is us. We didn't even have a choice since it's his crime. He could be a murderer if it would took longer to arrest him.

We made it there immediately and my mom got surprised when she saw me walking inside towards them. I saw my father siting on the other side of the table, his both hands were surrounded by handcuffs. There are a lot of police officers on the edges to secure everyone too.

But still, I will be okay if I'm with them.

The smirked in his face made my fist clenched. This is the time that I've seen him again, I didn't even saw him after the incident since I was busy taking care of my mother and I don't wanna see him also.

"Oh. My dear daughter!" He stood up and laughs.

My face got irritated on his facial expression. He seemed to be sarcastic and untrue. But I should control myself, at least.

Drake stood up and offered me his chair. I tapped his shoulder and sit on it. Noah and Drake are now watching us behind. I hope my father won't 'cause a scene right now. I wouldn't be able to bear with it anymore..

"You came!" He sat in front of me still wearing his devilish smile.

"I came for my mother," I gave him a cold gaze.

"That's surprising!"

"WHAT?" He's clapping like a fucking crazy. He seemed to enjoy this moment.

He leaned on his chair and crossed his legs. The smirked in his face didn't change. I know he's thinking about the matter between our family again. But it doesn't matter to me anymore, because I already accepted that he won't love me back the way I did before..

"You're still protecting her despite her sins to you! If you will look if who's more evil between us. Of course, that's your mother! She tried to kill you, that means she doesn't want you too--"

"WILL!"

"What? Does it hurts, huh? Does it make you realized how cruel you are before?"

"That's before! You said it! It was in the past! I made a mistake, yes! A big mistake, but unlike you! You gave her a hell life where she's been punished by his own father!"

My eyes watered. A warm hand caressed my back and when I turn to see it. It was Noah, he's tapping my back while his face was lift directed to my father.

My dad's eyes are now looked surprised. He didn't muttered any words, instead he just stare at my mother. Those nightmares that I've been through every night, he's the one who made me go through those hell.. My mother is right. I've been living in a hell all my life and this time I will never let myself being tied with my father's evil acts.

His gaze turn to Noah. He points at him and laugh. What a crazy old man!

"So, you and this shabby person ends up together?" My blood boiled to what he says.

"Don't call him like that!" I clenched my teeth.

I looked at Noah but he's still expressionless. I don't know what he's thinking, but this time I would say sorry for my father's rudeness.

"I'm so sorry, Noah.." My voice cracked.

He looked at me and smiles. The Noah that I love was here, being insulted by my evil father. I don't know what to feel anymore, I should've not bring him here with me..

"That's okay, baby.. I'm fine," He held my hand.

My tears went down my face and he immediately wiped it with his hands.

"Sorry, I didn't bring any handkerchief," He chuckled.

I also return it with a chuckles. But we got surprised when my father hit the table.

"You two can't be together! You have no future with that guy, Raine! Stop being so stupid!" He shouts. His face turned into a crimson red as he clenched his jaw. Anger flushed through his face and I don't care.

"Stop insulting him, Dad! You have no right to degrade him like that! You're such a loser!" I don't care if I was rude to him now. He's insulting Noah and I can't let that happen anymore.

"What will he offer to you? His fucking love? That will never make you rich, Raine! He's not good for you--"

"I don't care about being rich, dad! And you don't have the right to meddle with my life anymore! I love him and you fucking out of this anymore!" I shouted.

"You, rude brat!"

"That's right! I'm rude! But you're worst! I will never forgive you!" My tears began to fall down again. Damn it!

He froze while looking at me. I hate everything about him now and I think it won't be the best to stay here after everything. I won't live here anymore..

"I've lived my life doing everything just to please you. I think I've done enough. I'm done hoping that someday, you'll accept me as your own daughter. I'm done! We'll end our relationship here, dad." I felt sad for doing this but, I think I would be the best for us.. It's better to stay away from him. No harm and no pain.

"The last time that we'll gonna face each other is in court. Stay well for the rest of your life. We'll take our leave now," I stood up and pulled my mother's hand.

"Raine.." He muttered.

"I'm going to protect my family, dad. So you better stay away from us when you got free from the jail,"

"Why would I? You're my only family. Your mother didn't get my signature yet," He smiles at my mom.

"I don't care about that fucking divorce. We'll live a happy life without you." My mom says coldly and walk away.

"So, there's no really room for forgiveness.." I gave him my disappointed look.

"What did you say to your mother? You wench! Come here and I'll teach you a lesson!" He stood up and tries to go to me but the police went to stop him. And Noah also protected me with his arms.

I looked at him for the last time. I can't help but to feel sad for this ending to our family. It's not a great closure but I've go to say everything before turning my back at him.

I guess this is really a goodbye..

I started to walk beside Noah. He puts his other arm on my waist and it feels more comforting. Drake also went to my mother's side and lead her way out of this hell.

I wiped my tears and walk straightly as possible.

Good bye, daddy..
