CHAPTER THREE: Episode 2
She opened her arms. The ghost appeared. The words not different from that of April in dream he heard. Confusion built apartment between them.
"This is not the place you should be! Return to the place meant for you ___ the place you are most needed!" April shunned her.
"Who did you just offered your
words to in such manner?"
he asked.
"It's nobody you should know, " she convinced him.
The ghost detached with heavy face. She's got a message to kick across but the means to get it across to him lives with the dark. The message burn like the tongue of fire with the intent of no ending. If all met agreed to be the bearer, for awhile she would have known rest but how she wanted it to happen was a different happening. Worry held her feet on a spot. The sound of whistle descended towards her direction. She pecked, the sound was nearly nearer to her. Like a lover in haste to take the taste of her love, she pants. Her turned her face east, the whistle held its peace. She hid her face and raised after the wind had gone. She put out few steps to met her.
"Can I talk to you my kind words?"
she turned.
"Words like?" Sapphire was eager.
"I carry words to talk to you to talk on my behalf to him, " the ghost poured her mind.
"What makes you think I know
him?" Sapphire questioned her
intent.
"I will help you know him, " the
ghost assured.
"And what if my desire does not align?" Sapphire looked steadily.
"All my life, I only have one
choice for any and nothing
breaks it, " the ghost opened up.
A moment silence awoke in her. A step behind her shoulder, she whispered. The voice resurrected the memory of the past. She adjusted from her and folded her hands. Her lips refused to open for no words. The ghost searched her mind.
"I wish I never come across one
of your kind. Till now, it's still
unknown to me what brought
me here. I doubt this be the
actual reason I'm here. I saw
those words in your heart,
exact words, eh?" the ghost could
not hide.
Her head up and down was the response.
"In return, what will fall to me as
the portion of my gain?" Sapphire
waited for response.
"Give me your price, " the ghost demanded.
"I will tell the cost when I know
the cost, " Sapphire put her in the
dark.
The ghost faced the other way. A vice turned her.
"You have not sent a message. You only gave empty message for him. How will he read the message?" Sapphire told.
"You sound concern. Since you
remind me, for now, I have no
word for you till next I will meet
you with the right words for you
to him, " the ghost walked
distance.
She walked without accomplishing the intent of the first. She turned to the way the ghost went.
"Till next I will meet you with the
right words for you to him.
Who is she?" Sapphire queried
herself in confused tune.
With troubled mind, she walked.
"You will meet him like lovers at first but be to him like old lovers, "
a voice came from the direction the ghost walked.
She barely know why she is divided from her pals. Each time her thought climbed towards them, distraction always pay visit. She was the passerby on a path. Irresistible fragrance awaited her presence at the shore. Half way she hoofed it, the fragrance excited her. Water was the picture that filled her sight. She walked in. The fragrance toured into her nostrils more than once. She tried to understand why but washed herself bit by bit since understanding was hidden. The heat the sunlight poured he could not withstand. Face to face she stood in front of her. The fragrance was her presence. She inserted her hand below the water and scooped. Another hand side the same. The hands scooped. Backward she counted her feet.
"As calm as the water, if your
mind can be as this, then
you would fearless, " the ghost
talked.
"If that was true, why am I blind to your visibility?" Sapphire challenged.
"Blind you said. That's no true.
It's me that decide myself
hidden from you, " the ghost
shewed herself.
Richie's presence interrupted. She was so much infected with his presence that bought her attention. Her eyes stood on his.
"I don't know your name but your name is love because I thought to name you rose, but your heart called love in my ears, " he said.
Few minutes counted silence.
"You said nothing? At this point,
no stranger you are to me, "
he told her.
"When you are done with him, I will meet you, " the ghost vanished.
He watched closely.
"It seems you are not in the right
state of mind. My presence is
responsible for that, " Richie
added.
"Not that, but... " Sapphire freezed.
He gave her his hand. She followed
his hand out of the water. Seductive moves. His mind was easily captured. She was ready to do whatever it takes to win him but she hid it in consideration.
"It is my first meet. Unknown is he
to me. Too quick will tell me cheap
to him, " thought from within.
She stayed calm a bit distance.
"How can I tell myself if I'm so right in what I'm doing?" he called himself to order.
He took a sit closer to her. Silence lived between them. He chose to talk to her.
"I'm not sure about this, another
day is fine, " she frowned.
"I will live here till that day comes, " he confessed.
"What kind of man are you?" she
reacted.
"Maybe it's not your day to know my kindness, " he looked the other way.
"What if I attend to your demand,
will you tell me truth?" he asked.
"It has never being my nature to be selfish with the truth. Ask, the truth knows I say the truth, " she told.
Hd falls easily but he hardly knows the true lover.
"Since my eyes set on you, you
distracted me by your attraction.
If I'm able to solve what it is,
name my profit, " he told.
"If you solve it, then you mean what I struggle to know the meaning, " she dared.
Eyes to eyes he adjusted nearer. Skin touched skin. His hand spoke to her breast. She slowly travelled beyond. Her eyes slowly shut. Lips to lips, tongue touched each other. She held him and never know when this words fell off her mouth.
"Do this to me not just for this one time,
Touch me this way and let today not just be the only one time this should happen to me,
Talk to me lips to lips because that is what I understand more than words.
If this demand for my last breath,
I will give it never to look back. "
She held him along to the ground.
"Why not die now? At least,
to prove you mean it, " April
distracted.
Richie's anger climbed.
"You again? Why always around me? Why this choose to find me at my last step? I don't know you, it's not my choice to know you, " he said.
"I desire some confidence with
just you, " April took a step aside.
He was about to go to her.
"Tell me how important she is than me, " Sapphire stood on his way.
"Don't let my anger speak to
you, it words may not be
polite, " April warned.
"If death is your biggest threat you come to present, I know death more than you can die, " Sapphire countered.
"I hate threat, " April angrily told.
"If my anger rise, you will fall, "
Sapphire told harshly.
"Too many has fallen and it means nothing. Many fall everyday, " April told.
Sapphire pushed her with her leg into the water.
Richie was abased.
"I'm not in a good mood. I will see you when next, " Sapphire kissed his forehead and walked.
Richie was dumbfounded.
Far enough she walked, the ghost stood on her way.
"Give me the meaning of this.
If I tell you I have the time for
this, that means the deceitful
part of me is responsible for
this talk. Another time will
bring us together. This time
does not agree our meet, "
Sapphire told.
"I don't need that lecture but just wanna tell you how deep you offended me, " the ghost confessed.
"I have not awarded any sin to
you. I will never choose to bear
the name of another, " Sapphire
disagreed.
"What happen to the one I sent you to?" the ghost queried.
"You never send me to any one
I should know. So how do I
know whom I am not sent to?"
Sapphire queried her intent.
"Richie, he is not different from one I wanted to give my message to, " the ghost revealed.
"Why did it take you that long?"
Sapphire asked.
"Never mind, but know from today, you and I are enemies for a reason I only knows, " the ghost vanished.
Richie by her side asked.
Sapphire separated from him and was gone far.
