I keep repeating that word in my head while I watch the fat man stomping his big foot on the boy’s fragile body.
My God, the kid might die soon, when will he stop? I am an orphan myself, the reason why I always donate to orphanage and feel horrible if children are mistreated is because I was one of them.
“WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!!?” I screamed my lung out. Panting after all the emotion I was trying to hold back inside finally burst out in one go.
The fat man stopped his brutal act and head towards me, he yanks my shirt, “You wanna die BITCH?” He snapped.
I looked away, hated to exchange my gaze with a scum like him, “Try me.” I lifted my lips and use my elbow to hit his fat stomach. Though that is not with my full power but I managed to make him fall on the ground. As expected, this guy have no technique or skill in fighting, he just depends on his big and fat figure to bully kids.
“May I retrieve the child, he needs to get treated.” I asked the annoying guard that shoots me down for the idea of touring inside.
He gives me a light nod and he scanned his card on the scanner, “30 seconds and I’ll start shooting.” Though he let me in but he didn’t forget to warn me that he is armed right now. Such a show off.
I nodded and dash inside, but the fat man is pulling my legs and caught me off guard, I tripped and fell on the hard and dirty floor. That is the last straw he is pulling, I kicked his face with my other foot, and hard enough to make him lose a tooth, the bleed that flows from his mouth shocked him.
I still feel unsatisfied, so I pulled myself up and launched another kick to his chest, he screams in pain but I could care less.
“15 seconds.”
I groaned at the guard, “Dangg…” I complained but still I hurried to the boy and carefully lifted him up, his weak hands are clutching tight to my jacket, and I dashed out in no time.
I panted, “Thanks.” I glared at the guard before I leave.
I’m such a busy body, now I have to take this boy to the infirmary.
“…Master.”
I’m stunned when the boy called me his master, “You don’t have to call me Master.” I replied, “I’ll take you to the infirmary.”
He shake his head furiously, “Nno…I can’t pay for it.” “Just leave me somewhere.”
I think my heart just throb, he probably just 7 years old at most, and he is so mature for his age, “You don’t need to worry about paying, I will pay the fee.”
He still shook his head, “I’m used to this, I need food more than I need medicine.” His replied really tearing me up. He is just like me in the past.
“Then let’s get some food after your injury is treated.” I insisted to take him to the infirmary.
I was charged S$5 for the hospital fee. The hospital is pretty much empty, because people can’t afford to spend their money for the treatment. For the first time I swept my silver card, and its really like sweeping any debit or credit card, except there is no password needed and I got a print out for my balance on the receipt.
I fetch the boy in the room after he is treated, “Let’s go.” The boy blue eyes showing excitement as he saw me, he jumped off from the bed and dash to me, I lifted him up in my arms, his loose tank top and pants are probably something given or something he picked up somewhere, its definitely not his size. I just don’t want him to walk when he must be in much pain after getting kicked by such a damn fat shit.
“I can walk on my own.” “Please put me down Master.” He seems not used to this treatment.
“Stop struggling, I don’t want to drop you.” “Hup” I pushed his body up a bit to get a firm holding pose.
He slowly wrap his small arms around my neck, I could hear his sobbing, my tears are also piling up, I’m really weak against kid’s tear, so I just patted him on the back as we head down to the food court.
“What do you want to eat?” I asked him after he has calmed down.
“Anything Master wants me to eat.” Such a good boy, but that’s not how he should reply. I sighed.
“Choose one, I pointed at the menu, there are chicken rice, fried rice, noodle, anything, but he probably can’t read the letter so I point at the picture, “Which one you want to taste?” I smiled at him.
He shyly point at the chicken rice, so I placed an order for it, I also get two bottle of water, and that cost me S$3, I put him on the chair, there are a lot of empty seats, so I randomly pick one table, and place him there before I fetch the order. Its self service, gotta do everything by ourselves.
“Dig in.” I served him the chicken rice, it’s a good thing it comes with a soup.
He offered for me to eat first, but I told him to just relax and enjoy his food. As he shove the spoon in his mouth for the first time, he is crying again, I quickly take a tissue and wipe away his tears.
“What’s wrong? Is it not to your liking?” I asked in panic.
He shook his head furiously and hug me, “Than-k you Maste-r, yo-u are a god-dess.” He sniffed.
