Melokuhle

“Zandi told us about how you feel about Melusi.” My dad commented on our way home.

I looked at him through the rearview mirror and looked out the window “Okay.”

“We have decided to put you in a facility.”

For the first time he picked my interest I gave him my fool attention “What?” I shouted “In a mental facility?”

“Just so you can get over those feelings?”

“Right cause you don’t want to see headlines of Wealthy business mans daughter is in love with her kidnapper.“

“Denial is the first stage which is we want to fix you.”

“I’m not broken.”

He drove in silence and that’s when I saw the facility, as he drove inside, we were not heading. “Dad! You can’t put me in here please.”

He parked the car and got out “Please don’t fight.” He said as he opened the door. As soon as I got I saw my mother crying at the door.

“Mom.” I said as I ran to her “You can’t leave me in here, I’m not crazy.”

“I know baby, but this is for the best. This is one of the best facilities, it will be like staying in a hotel.” She said as she hugged me while taking me inside. “But this is not a hotel.” They both ignored me as we walked deeper into the facility.

I could not believe my eyes, this was really happening, I was going in a facility just for loving someone.
