cherry topped life

Imagine yourself that one day, one of your loved ones is kidnapped. Then kidnappers would eventually call you asking for a big sum of money that you don’t even know how to raise that sum. Even how hard you try to beg to just release your loved one but you realized that the perpetrator just hanged up on you. Then another phone rings again, for the nth time, demanding a little less than the initial amount plus a threat to kill your loved one. You are given 3 days to produce that amount of money. But after exhausting all efforts, you were still not able to reach the amount of money even if you pawned all your jewelries, house and lot and all assets you own. Then the phone rings, negotiations until an extension is given, but a final one. You, then, miraculously reach that amount and come to an agreement on how and when to drop the ransom money. After dropping the money to the instructed location, you received a phone call to fetch your loved one at a certain place after 2 hours. After 2 hours, you immediately went to the place waiting for your loved one. But then, after some time, no loved one showed up. No news whatsoever, not even a phone call from the leech. You tried calling the mobile phone number but it already out of reach. You wait…

wait… wait..

years.. years…

until reaching almost a decade of waiting…

still waiting…..
