I told you the truth, but you said I was lying.
That night, I saw that woman being held by several men. She was helpless. She couldn't even scream. She could only cry. I was sitting on the sidewalk. My old legs trembled, unable to stand up. I want to throw whatever I can. Just to divert the attention of those wild men.
But I'm sure one of those men realized that I was sitting there that night. Because I heard one of them shouting: "Look, that old granny saw us!"
But I heard the other replied: "Leave it alone. I know her, she's just a blind homeless granny."
Maybe he is right. Maybe I'm blind. But I'm not a liar. That night I saw the woman struggling against those savage men.
I have seen that poor woman from the day before. My eyes are always closed since the day I was born. But actually, I can see the hues of light. I can see that poor woman has a rainbow wing. And those savage men have been eyeing her since a couple of hours before. I can see their heads were horned and their fangs were rotten.
"Hey! Wait a minute... a rainbow-winged woman? Men with horn?!" This young policeman kicked the table. "What the hell are you talking about?!"
"This is your fault," said his friend, "how come she becomes our only eyewitness in the first place"
"I have no choice! She was there when all this happened!"
Well, I already told you. I am blind. But I'm not a liar.
That night after those savage men dumped her, I saw another figure. I do not know whether he is a man or a woman, or that he is human at all. He glowed white and lit brightly. Throughout my entire life, there has never been a human who lit that kind of bright light.
I saw him wiping the wounds of the poor woman. I saw him carrying her away. I don't know how long I was stunned by that bright light. But when I heard sirens roar, then I heard you arrive, you said that the woman has died. I don't believe it. Because really, I saw that glowing person carrying her away.
"This is nonsense," said the young policeman.
"Her body has been autopsied," said his colleague, "this is a rape case, and those rapists bastard haven't been caught."
But I don't lie. The bright glowing person carried her away. The woman's rainbow wings dimmed with the blazing white light.
"If you say that person is an angel, I will be the happiest man on earth, and we will end this useless interview," said the impatient young police officer.
His partner snorted lazily.
Yes, it could be. I'm tired of explaining it anyway. I'm just a blind old woman. But certainly, I'm not a liar. If by calling that person as an angel will end this, so be it.
The young policeman began typing his report quickly. There wasn't any light emanating from him. There are no wings, no horns or fangs.
How dull, how boring ...
