"Based on the examinations and tests I have carried out, seems that your daughter's back pain only concerns the left side of her body. She can sign up for once a week of therapy to ease out the pain and try to get her posture to the way it is supposed to be."
"Yes, thank you doctor. I noticed that the problem when she started to wear heels and her limping became obvious. Meanwhile, is there any therapy that you know that helps with increasing her height?" he laughs off, annoyingly loud.
"To make her taller? From what I see she is beautiful the way she is, there's no need for changes," Dr. Adrian flashes his charming smile to Sophie.
*******
I will pick you up for dinner at 7.30pm, there's a new restaurant I would like to try.
"You got on my nerves for sending the text but you are waiting for hell to break lose for wanting to 'spend quality time' with me. Great, there goes my mood. Fucking hell."
It was only 5.45 pm but Sophie quickly jumps into the shower to avoid any more blabbering on how long she takes to get ready only to look like nothing special, according to her father.
*******
"So how was your day? Did you do learn anything new?"
"No, I was at home all day doing chores."
"You see my watch here, this isn't just a watch. It's a watch that can be designed to match your aura so that it can remove any blockage in your system. Remember when I did that ice cubes bath, in Shah Alam?"
"No."
"Yeah well, it's from the same shop. You can learn which colour that will fit your aura and it will help you go through your daily life. They opened a shop in Bandar Baru Uda, just infront of Angsana. If you are interested, we can go there right after this."
"No, thanks. I am not, I am fine with being who I am. I need to go to the toilet, excuse me."
Sophie walks off, leaving her dad in frustration for being rejected. Everytime he reaches out to help, she shoots him down with that piercing tone of her voice.
Sophie walks out of the toilet and sees her father already waiting in the car. "I'm tired, I want to go home."
She starts to yawn, then she couldn't stop.
*******
"Oh damn, my head hurts. Must have knocked on the window while I dozed off."
"Wait, why is it so cold in here? Why is everything bloody?"
Sophie looks ahead and screamed at the reflection of the big mirror placed infront of her. She was covered in blood, in her own blood. Her once broken left arm is now replaced by a perfect arm, sewn to her skin to connect to her shoulder. Her face has stitches starting from her hairline to her jaw line, going around her square shaped face. Sophie's skull was half cracked, she can see her brain sitting quietly in her skull. Both of her short legs were missing, only blood pools.
"Hey sweety, you're awake? I miscalculated the dosage of anesthetic! I'm sorry, you weren't supposed to witness the amazing transformation of yourself but since you have seen most of it, you can enjoy the finishing process."
"Dad?? What the freaking hell have you done to me?? A fucking amazing transformation?? Fuck you!"
"Young lady, don't you use that tone with me! I am your father and you need to respect me!"
A slap lands on Sophie's left cheek.
"I.. I'm sorry darling. I didn't mean to lose my temper on you. Look, I'm fixing you and since you've turn down on all of the professional helps, well maybe because you were shy I guess. So I've decided to take matters into my own hands and handle this situation myself," he explains joyfully.
"See, I got rid of your broken arm so that no one will talk bad of you, then I changed your facial skin because you used too much chemical from those makeup you put on that made your face become unflattering."
"Oh my God, I knew it you have mental issues! You cracked opened my fucking skull, what help will that bring me? Are you going to replace my brain with some genius' because I'm too stupid for you??"
"Oh dear, of course not, if I take out your brain, you'll die and we don't want that now, do we? You're just going get some electric therapy."
"I would rather die, you mad man. Just kill me! Kill me now!!"
"I'll just stick this wire to your right brain and this one to the other side. Now, what was the required voltage again? I keep forgetting but you're going to feel just a bit dizzy okay. Here we go!"
*******
"My dear Sophie, it's time for the big reveal. Be surprised, you look perfect now."
But Sophie couldn't open her mouth to let her voice through, her lips were stitched together. She could still see her open aired brain, and she had new pair of legs. Longer legs.
"Finally, you look beautiful," he tip toed to kiss his, now taller, favourite daughter.
