Tarnished Before Accident
Chapter 56. Video

I sat there, watching the tightly clenched old eyes with a deathly pale face. Its saturation slowly up and down, so soft and weak.

I asked Rey to leave me alone for a while with my mother. There are things that make my mind turbulent, feel like a useless child. He must be very scared. Seeing her always carrying the shabby doll, I could feel that my mother loved me very much. I don't know who made it like this.

I held her skinny hand. The hand that was clearly visible veins showed that my mother had not been well taken care of. My heart trembled at how cruel the world was to treat my mother.

Both of his ankles have a blue mark. The scar seems to have been a long time ago. Like bruising because it is too long tied in the same position. What horrible thing has you been through all this time?

I put my face on my open palm, I cried there. There were things that could not be explained in words, but this cry I let out was really proof that my heart was hurt to see the condition of Mother like this.

Too lulled and drowning in grief, I didn't realize someone was going into Mom's room. A hand squeezed my shoulder, making me straighten up and turn to the figure beside me.

"Alea, I want to talk to you about something important."

***

A room containing dozens of monitor screens greeted me as soon as I went inside with Kak Rey wrapping her arm around my shoulder. The man was attentively always beside me and took care of me.

An iron long chair located at the edge of the room was already filled with strangers. I was scared and uncomfortable. In this room I am the only female. However, Brother Rey seemed to understand my discomfort so she embraced me from earlier.

"Sit down!" brother Rey's orders to me.

I sat in a single chair that was near the wall with Rey standing right behind me. While in front of me there is a large monitor screen located on the table in a dead position.

"Alea, if you're not strong enough to see this, turn towards me. I'll stop the show." Rey whispered to me. I still didn't understand what he wanted to show, but I just nodded in agreement.

Within a few minutes, after they set the time with the video that wanted to be shown to me, then the monitor screen displayed a show.

"You guys out! I'll call you when I need to." Rey ruled and right then and there, without speaking they all who had gathered had immediately left the room.

There, the video shows a woman being gang-raped by three men, raped in turn. I saw the woman constantly rebelling, beating, crying, but the men didn't seem to care. He was brutally and pitifully abused. I could hardly see the impressions when I heard the screams of women who were slaves to their nafsu. My hands are clenched, what a perversion.

Then, the show changed by showing the figure of a bunting woman who was giving birth. This time it looks like a video. I can confirm it from the edit that still looks rough.

But that's not what concerns me. Except, the content of the video. There the woman who had just given birth took a knife, then bulldozed her baby's neck. Not only that, he also chopped up the tiny body that was still flushed with the umbilical cord dangling. I closed my eyes, unable to see the whole scene. Immediately I turned around, asked Rey to stop the show. Really, it's the sadest video I've ever seen.

There was a sudden fear coming haunting, as if I was a monster to my own son. Cold sweat came out of my body.

I freaked.

"Sir Rey!" My lips trembled when I called out his name. I hugged him, hugged him very tightly. I'm really scared.

"Alea, are you okay?" I asked him by shaking my shoulder.

I shook my head, buried my face in his body. What I just saw was horrible.

Rey called someone over the phone, and within minutes a male voice came into the room. "This is the drink, sir."

"Alea, drink first. Calm yourself!" said Rey by offering me a drink.

I took a deep breath, then nodded obediently. I took the glass filled with water, and sipped it to the toilet.

Rey rubbed my back and patted me on the shoulder. He whispered softly. "I'm sorry, I don't know if it's like this. But, don't be afraid! I will always be with you."

"Heem." I responded with deheman. "What does all this mean, brother?"

"Alea, before I wanted to keep this a secret to you, but it feels like you should know too." Rey seemed reluctant to continue. He looked at me with eyes full of worry. However, I immediately assured her that I would be fine.

"Say, Brother!"

I heard heavy breathing from him. Then he said, "The second video is an artificial video made using artificial intelligence technology. The first video is the original video. It was a recording that in terms of image quality is still an analog video, namely video of the past. It seems that the incident was deliberately recorded by someone. And the woman in the video tape was none other than ... Diana." - Diana."

"What?"

Oh, my God, the truth again that you showed me?

Rey didn't seem to have the heart to say it. "Yes, Alea. He suffered rape in turn. When viewed from the reactions of the men, it seems they are being influenced by alcohol. I haven't been able to investigate any of them. However, one person I know, and you also must know him very well even though the quality of the video is very bad." Rey paused her sentence for a moment before finally saying, "There was Uncle Arya Hinata in that incident."
