41 It's Ok To Cry

"Hit me." Selena said in a low tone after a moment of silence between them. When Kanzaki heard this there was shock on his face. Despite Selena saying it at a low volume, Kanzaki could still hear it since the room was deathly quiet.

"What are you talking about? I would never do that." Kanzaki said confused about what Selena was trying to say. He wasn't mad at her about her outburst but rather surprised and confused. As for the smoke detectors, he didn't care that she ripped them off the ceiling since there seemed to be something bad going on.

When Selena heard what Kanzaki said she thought he was trying to torment her since she had treated him wrong, "JUST DO IT! I know you won't be able to talk with me again until you let out your anger so please let it out, for the both of us." Selena said with a sad expression just wanting her punishment to be over as soon as possible

Kanzaki was more than a little confused the more Selena talked about him hitting her but after a moment of thinking about her words and the way she was treating the situation he realized what she meant but he hoped that his thoughts were wrong.

"Don't tell me that your husband hits you when you do something wrong, he doesn't right?" Kanzaki asked hoping and praying that his thoughts were wrong and that their marriage was perfect and that he was being the best for her that he could.

When Selena heard what Kanzaki said she thought he was messing with her. Obviously, he hits her when he's mad since that's the way all marriages and relationships are, right? That's what Selena was thinking in her mind when she was asked this question but since Kanzaki seemed to be serious about having a legit answer she decided to answer seriously as well, "Of course he does. He hits, kicks, and punches to release his anger. That's just how he calms down." Selena said with her mind going toward a darker place when she mentioned it.

While she didn't mind if Kanzaki released his anger by hitting, her husband had done so when there was no reason for it so to her it was a dark place. A place that she could never escape since it had left a deep imprint on her mind since she had met the man that she called her husband.

"That's terrible! It's not supposed to be like that at all!" Kanzaki practically shouted when Selena tried to say that it was a normal occurrence. By the second Kanzaki's view on Selena's husband was plummeting to such an extreme low that he was thinking about calling the police soon after.

"What do you mean?" Selena wondered in confusion. Even though she didn't like it in the slightest she still considered it a normal occurrence since it had happened so often during her time married to her husband.

"What do you mean what do I mean?! That's not ok in the slightest! He's not treating you right and you need to leave him immediately." Kanzaki said in shock as he was confused about why Selena didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Like right now. Even if I was mad there's no reason for me to hit you. All it takes is a simple apology and a little time for someone to relieve their anger. Doing bodily harm to you is against the law and your husband should be arrested for abuse!" Kanzaki said in anger once he realized what kind of situation Selena seemed to be in.

"I-" Selena had no words at the moment since she was so shocked. She had never been told by anyone that it was ok not to be happy with the way she was being treated. That it was ok to say no and get away from someone who doesn't treat her right.

"What do I do?" Selena said suddenly with tears streaming down her face. Kanzaki had opened up thoughts in her head that she had never had before. She had never even considered the fact of leaving her husband since he would be mad and hit her more but now that Kanzaki was in front of her saying that it wasn't ok and that she needed to leave it seemed to have kickstarted her thoughts.

"The first thing we need to do is call the police and then get everything you have out of there." Kanzaki said as he walked forward toward Selena. She seemed to be in a very sensitive state where even the slightest thing could affect her completely.

When Selena saw Kanzaki walking closer she started to back away but when she saw him raise both of his hands she closed her eyes squinting thinking that he was about to hit her but the pain never came. The pain was replaced by a warm and comforting feeling being wrapped around her body.

Kanzaki had enveloped her into a hug holding her completely still and safe in his arms. After hearing about the way she was treated and the way her thoughts were oriented he couldn't help but want to give her a hug so he did. This was a newer experience for him but even more so for Selena. Someone had never shown this kind of kindness or affection before and it had completely caught her off guard.

She had no idea how to react to it besides wrapping her arms around him as well enjoying the warm feeling that had never been a part of her life before. It was a feeling of both comfort and safety that she would never forget until the day she died.

As this warm feeling enveloped her for some reason there was another emotion brewing and that was sadness. All of her past experiences and pain came rolling out like a tsunami. Kanzaki may not fully understand or ever understand what she went through but he still held Selena tight as she began crying in his arms letting go of years of agony.
