993 Words
So far, we got all we need. Lyn bought tons of things. Such as, sunglasses, a summer hat and instax. She didn't even look at the price she just took it to the counter.
She also bought some things for me. I didn't even notice it.
“Are you hungry? Let's eat first.” She asked.
Lyn heard a growl inside my tummy. I forgot that I didn't eat at home.
“Yeah, that's a great idea. I haven't eat since I woke up.” I agreed.
“Let's go to my favourite restaurant. You'll love it for sure.”
I nod as a response.
We were on our way to the restaurant when I saw a familiar face walking towards me.
A person I don't ever wish to meet.
“Look who's here. Isn't it my dear, Stella? My little sister.” He spoke as he walks closely.
“I'm not you're sister. Go away.”
I walked away but then he grabbed my wrist.
“Not so fast. Can you tell your sister that im looking for her? I already changed, I promised. I won't do the same mistakes again. Please, hear me out. Help your brother.” He begged. Holding both of my hands while acting miserable.
I didn't see a bit of sincerity in his eyes.
Seeing his face right now made me recall what happened at the past.
He was my sister's long term boyfriend. He was kind and generous to us. We thought he is the angel that God sent to us. But we were wrong.
His angelic attitude faded away as the time goes by, he became short tempered and often bosses us around. We thought maybe he has a personal problem. Maybe it's too hard for him.
Then one peaceful night. He knocks at my room, crying. I hesitated to let him in but he insisted.
He wants me to comfort him. A hug would be nice. I refused. He got mad.
That's when he tried to r**e me. He's obviously stronger than me. I don't stand a chance with mankind power.
“You really got the nerves to asked help from? Did you forget that horrifying act you almost did? You don't know how much trauma you gave to me, to my sister. You attempted to r**e me, you piece of sh*t.” I bursted out.
“I didn't think of r****g you, you're the one who seduced me! How dare you! You're just like your sister, you ungrateful b*tches. For all the things I did for the both of you, I didn't receive anything! I didn't even taste your sis-” I didn't let him finished as I already reached my limit.
He crawled down on his knees, gaping his neck as if he can't breathe.
“You monster! I c-can't breathe! H-help!” He screamed pathetically.
I crumbled my fist as I look at him. His eyes with full of pain, and his trembling body gave pleasures to me.
I snapped back at reality when Lyn grabbed my wrist.
She looked at me with a worried eyes. That's when I realized what I did.
We walked away, leaving that man in the middle of people, looking for help. There's a few people who stepped forward and helped him while some people are just watching.
We got to the restaurant without talking. I can only hear my heart beating loudly because of fatigue. Im out of breath.
Holding someone's air drained my energy.
“Im gonna go to the comfort room shortly. Excuse me.” Lyn agreed. So to the bathroom I go.
I washed my face. Looking at my reflexion in the mirror, I am so miserable.
I almost killed him. But I don't regret doing it.
Maybe I really am a monster? Having an ability that could kill someone is indeed a monster, right?
But I didn't wish for this. I don't really acknowledge it since then. And my sister always made me hide it, for my own protection.
Because it is dangerous.
Normal peeps will scared if they found out. They would kill me. Just like that man did.
I entered the last cubicle and did my things.
There's a person at the cubicle next to me, I didn't care. But I think she has her phone, talking with someone. I was about to come out when their conversation became interesting.
“Is she coming or nah? I just wanna make sure.”
“Girl you don't need to give sympathy to her. She is not as innocent as you think. She is worth as a garbage.” she exclaimed.
“She is trying to steal my man! I can't let that happen! Won't you help your best friend?
I think they are planning to bully someone.
But hearing her voice, I think it's kind of familiar. I don't know where I heard it.
I let her came out first before I go. I don't want her to see me. I feel bad for eavesdropping.
I hope the girl whom they talks about would be alright. But I don't know their story, there must have been a misunderstanding. The only fact I know, is I can't interfere. I don't know them.
I got to the restaurant. I can hear the scream in her face. Did I took that long?? I didn't notice the time.
“Did you took a big dump or something?? You really love to make me wait, aren't you?”
“Alright. My fault. Come on now, let's eat.”
We got inside. Sat to our table. And a waiter came.
And I know him. He's the strange guy from the bus. The one I misjudged. This is so embarrassing.
What a coincidence.
He recommend their best selling dish. That's what I ordered. It's a steak. He also gave us wine.
And that wine is surely delicious. I felt like my energy is recharging.
This is good.
