Chapter 2 - Moving on

It took some time to get the old Moni back, not the quiet and restrained type. She was playing with some kids in the park, that was the beauty of the park. Kids playing, spending quality time with the family and friends. Speaking of family, I spoke to mum today, she asked us to come over for a family dinner. She also asked about Frederick, if he was going to join us and gladly he wasn't. I couldn't deal with his drama and my family's own too. I didn't tell her about what happened to Moni, I learned a long time ago that I couldn't depend on her or anyone from that family.I had always handle my issues and kept it all to myself because I've been betrayed by the ones I trusted most. I just had to focus on more important things, Monica and my job. My father didn't think twice when he married me off to that lunatic. I was great with my job but as for my family it was a mess.I still blame myself for what happened to Moni, that event keep playing in my head everytime I see her scars. I wonder how she's coping, she's really a fighter. Moni was laughing and smiling broadly when she fell down trying to catch the ball. The only thing that mattered was being a good Mom to Moni. I took some time from work and I asked Susan to bring our things from that man house but she encouraged me to be bold and strong. Get the restraining order and the divorce papers ready, I did try I rented an apartment and took some clothes from the house. Its been a month since We've spoken, she's right i have to be bold and strong, i texted my lawyer, yesterday to get restraining order and the divorce papers ready. He should have receive it by now...
