My Nightmare

Chapter 23

"No. Please. NO! Let go! LISA!" Chaeyoung's eyes widened and frantically tried to sit up and immediately looked around while muttering, "No. No... No..."

Lisa? Lisander? Did Lisander have anything to do with Chaeyoug's assault?

"Sshhh... Sweety calms down. This is mama. You are alright. You're safe, dear" Auntie said while stroking Chaeng to calm her down.

"Lisa! Lisa! Lisa!" Chaeyoung kept saying Lisa's name and was now crying mess, looking at Auntie's face with a pleading look and grabbing her arm.

"Yes, Sweety. Lisa" replied auntie, who nodded and keep tried to calm Chaeyoung.

Unconsciously, my tears have dripped seeing this scene. I've never seen Chaeyoung like this. Looks desperate.

"Lisa, ma! Where's Lisa!?" asked Chaeyoung, who was sobbing as if Auntie knew Lisander.

"Sweety..." Auntie called her in a soft voice.

"Um. I'm sorry Ms Park, do you mean Lisander Manoban?" Police Song interrupted when he heard Lisa's name, Chaeyoung immediately looked at the policeman while leaning forward.

"Yes. Lisa! Lisander! Where is he?!" asked Chaeyoung.

"Do you know Lisander Manoban?" asked Auntie, who was now standing and staring at the policeman in surprise.

Why is auntie surprised? Does auntie know Lisander? Or maybe Chaeyoung ever told auntie?

"Lisander Manoban is an eyewitness that we are currently detaining at the police station. We can't let him go until we get a statement from the victim," replied police officer Song.

"What!? So the one who saved Chaeng was Lisander?" Auntie asked, covering her mouth with her palm.

"That's right, ma. Lisander. Lisa saved me," said Chaeyoung pulling Auntie's arm. "He's hurt, ma!" she continued crying. Chaeyoung's voice was very painful. My heart felt hurt.

She loved Lisander very much.

Lisander was injured for saving Chaeyoung.

"Don't worry, Ms Park. Lisander's wound had been treated and sutured by medics at the crime scene. You don't know because you were unconscious," replied police officer Song. Hearing that Chaeyoung looked a little relieved. "Can I have your statement? So we can immediately resolve this case and release Lisander," continued policeman Song.

Chaeyoung wiped her tears and nodded firmly.

"I finished shopping at 7-eleven, and walked home through the shortcut I used to take, but suddenly from a dark place, there were 2 people who pulled me and dragged me to the innermost park where their friend was waiting and me... they... they attacked me... I resisted, screamed, and tried to hit them, but they are stronger and beat me to the ground. One sat on me, 2 others held my hands and feet. The person who sat on me tore my shirt and tried to kiss me, but I banged my head against the person's face then the person got angry and banged my head on the floor. I was dizzy and almost lost consciousness, but I kept screaming. And just then, Lisander came and beat the three of them. They get into a fight when someone takes a knife from his pocket. Lisander fought 3 people, and one of them had a knife. I was afraid when that person cut Lisander's arm, so I immediately called 112. After that, I passed out," Chaeyoung stated and the policeman nodded while noting Chaeyoung's statement.
