"Mother Jean is speaking to you, Sister."
She looked at the elderly nun, taken aback. Her face was full of concerned as she stared at her, waiting for her to speak.
"Mother Jean is wondering what happened yesterday and why you are unconscious."
She bowed and apologized to the elderly nun. She told the truth about why, but she didn't say that Mr. Fender Hearst kissed her. Mother Jean only lectured her and warned her to be cautious the next time. In response to Mother Jean, she only nodded.
"Rest once more. I'll bring you some soup and medicine to warm your stomach. Sister Pearl, come with me."
She nodded, and the two of them turned away. She was the only one in the room. She decided to get up and check on herself to see if she was all right. She only realized she had a fever when she touched her neck and forehead.
She was like that for a while, sitting up. Sister Pearl returned with a tray full of food that still smoking. As she placed the tray next to her, her eyes widened.
"Ginataang hito?!"
It gave a nod. "That was cooked by Mr. Hearst, according to Manong Ben. He gave it yesterday, and Mother Jean left it for you."
She wasn't surprised by what her friend said. She slowly reached the spoon, and taste the ginataang hito. She knew it was delicious from the look of it. When she tasted the food, she was surprised. It was still in her mouth when tears welled up in her eyes. Her friend immediately rushed over to her.
"Does it taste bad?"
She shook her head and quickly wiped away the tears she hadn't even realized were dripping. She only remembered a portion of her life through the taste of this Ginataan Hito.
"Where has Mr. Hearst gone?"
"Why, Sister?"
“I want to say thank—"
Mother Jean burst in with an envelope in her hand. "This is from Father Felipe." She handed her the envelope.
She accepted it politely. Father Felipe is her uncle Priest, and he always wrote her a letter once a month. She had a cell phone but chose not to use it in order to better serve the Lord. They were not forbidden from using phone, but she refused.
"Open it up later and read it. First, eat something and then take your medicine."
She set the letter aside first and turned her attention to the food. Mother Jean, too, said her goodbyes quickly and left them. She could hardly close her eyes as she tasted the cooked dish again. As if she traveled back in time.
She instantaneously ate all of the food Sister Pearl had brought and then took a paracetamol tablet. She noticed that it was still raining outside, but it wasn't as heavy. Soon the sun will rise in a few moments to give its greatness.
She only nodded when sister Pearl said goodbye for a moment to take the tray of food outside. She looked at her foot and moved it, she smile when it didn't hurt as much. If it hadn't been for Mr. Hearst, she might have lost her life forever, and to think that way, she was deeply moved.
She had to express her gratitude to the man personally. She was well aware that she made a mistake in front of him the day before. Even he stole her a kiss, she still owes him her life. She wasn't a judgmental person; she was simply carried away by her anger.
Enraged? She was caught off guard by the question that had popped into her head. She didn't have time to think.
When she saw Manong Ben in the hallway, she asked the old man, "Mr. Ben, have you seen Mr. Hearst?" Even though she was still sick, she forced herself to get up and out of her room.
"Sister Blessy! Are you all right? Why did you decide to go out? You should take a rest."
She gave a shy smile in response to what the old man said. "Have you seen, Mr. Hearst?" she asked again, looking down. Even though she didn't want to, her cheek was red.
"You mean, Fender? He already left."
Her brow furrowed of what she heard. What exactly does Manong Ben mean? "Do you mean, he goes back to your hut?"
He scratchy and shook his head. "Fender leave this town, Sister. About two hours now."
It's like heaven had descended on her when she heard what Manong Ben said. She couldn't speak right away and had to think about what the old man had said. When she realized what it meant, she said her goodbyes to Manong Ben and turned around to return to her room. So, what made her come out? To go see Fender? Nonsense. Yes, Fender should left! That way, nothing will stand in the way of her faith in God.
ZERUS eyes were filled with sadness, and he averted his gaze. For the last time, he saw the beautiful face of Blessy who, he knew, had given color to his colorless world.
He stood behind the woods for two hours, waiting for the woman to emerge. He did not fall short. She came out to speak with Manong Ben. He knew he was the one she was looking for, but he needed to get out of here and leave this Barrio. For the time being, this provides him with a safe haven, but it is only temporary. Zerus was well aware that Hayes men would return.
"Ramona, come out."
"Oh, hello, brother!" exclaimed the woman.
The corner of his mouth twitched. He was aware of the woman's presence and had been keeping an eye on him. "What brings you here?"
"Ah, come to see you?"
He annoyed himself by staring at her from head to toe. She was dressed in her favorite red coat and red high heels. The ground was muddy and soft, but the girl seemed unconcerned.
"I believe you went to the wrong location."
“No. In fact, you are my intention. So sad you never died. It's heartbreaking."
"The devil never dies." He began to take a step forward.
"Well, you've made your point. However..." She laughed flirtatiously. He came to a halt and focused his attention on her. "But, brother, that nun is an angel who will kill you in the future."
He didn't respond to what Ramona said. He was aware that his senses were right, and he despised Ramona.
"You are a demon, while she is an angel. Aw, cute couple. Both demon and angel will perish at my hands." She laughed.
He paid no attention to what Ramona said. With a splinter on her head, he didn't have time to talk to Ramona. She began to retrace his steps as she simply followed him and sang out of tune.
"You're fucking irritating."
"Thanks!" It's a soft response accompanied by a shrill giggle.
He shook his head and wanted to believe that Ramona put something on him like a tracking device. She always follow him.
"WHAT do you want for dinner, brother? A corrupt Senator's bloody head or a police officer pervert blood? Make your choice." Ramona raised the bloodied and wide-eyed head of a well-known senator in the country. While the tupperware was on her other hand, he knew was real blood. She was dressed in red surgical gloves and an apron.
She was head over heels in love with red color. He needed to rest, but her psycho sister had no intention of sleeping through the night. Ramona is a psychopath. He was aware of that situation.
"Fucking throw that away from me, Ramona. Allow me to rest."
She smiled. "What sort of rest? Is it rest in peace forever? You know I could easily give it to you. Just ask, and I'll follow you to this Senator," she said, looking at the head in her other hand. She even smirked and laughed a little. “Corrupt. Rapist. What else can I say? Addict. So I always fuck the lives of the people like them. People like this should be executed, not just beheaded. Oh my goodness! Aurora will be overjoyed!"
"That's not your assignment," he said boredly as he rose from his slumber on the sofa. They are in a Ramona-owned rest stop, and he is tired of seeing her house in full red.
"Yeah, I'm aware. But I despise people like them." She return to the kitchen.
While Zerus went straight to the house's mini bar and got a drink. ‘Don't touch his favorite wines,’ his sister warned him. One of its strange habits is collecting wine and breaking it when she don't like the taste.
He began pouring Ramon's favorite wine. The Romanée-Conti Domaine. The world's most expensive wine. He grinned. Without saying anything, he set the goblet down and sipped the delectable liquid slowly.
"It's not bad. Delicious and It's very expensive."
"Let me warn you once more: don't fuck touch my Romanée-Conti Wine!" He could hear Ramona's loud voice from the kitchen.
He simply shrugged and drink again the wine. He stood up, carrying the wine bottle, and went upstairs to the guess room. He'll go to sleep. He'll have to deal with his insane sister mouth tomorrow.
He was on the last step of stairs when he heard the woman scream. The house is soundproof, so it's fine if her sister screams all night.
"I'm going to kill you, Fender Hearst! What did you do with my fucking Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, which is worth $558,000? You scumbag! Fenderrrrrr! I'm going to kill you!"
He laughed and kept pacing. He'll count down from one to three. He was well aware of Ramona's lack of patience.
First... He took a slow step towards the guest room.
Two... He open the door and switch on the light. The beautiful room opened up to him, but it, too, was wrapped in a red design, as was the living room and the outside of the house.
Three... He heard a loud crashing of bottles just as he closed the door. He also heard loud footsteps on the stairs and Ramona yelling that she'll going to murder him.
He wasn't surprised when the girl's gun pierced the door. He smiled as he looked at the hole and then went to bed. He needs to rest and will leave the next day. He'd simply heal the wound and deal with the man named Hudson Hayes.
ZERUS gun is ready. His wounds had healed after two weeks. He'll start the day to kill Dr. Hayes.
He fixed his gaze on the reflection in the glass wall he was now looking. He adjusted his cap and mask for a moment. He was on the 36th floor of the building, directly across from the Hayes' large hospital. His high VSS Vintorez Sniper is fully loaded and ready. The young Doctor would surely be able to dance with the pain of what he was about to do. He laughed at the nonsense thought. After he kills the man, he will approach and flirt with the woman he loves.
"Bullets," he muttered softly as the sniper approached the hospital's entrance. His gaze was drawn to the telescopic lens of the sniper he was carrying. He only has to wait a few seconds for the Doctor, who is his target today, to die.
Fuck!
His cursed in the wind. He withdraw his hand from pulling the trigger. He doubt Satan would'nt let him kill other demons.
Blessy, what are you doing at the hospital? How do I get rid of that scumbag if you're there?!
He massaged his temple and examined his telescopic VSS Vintorez once more. Hayes and the woman both came out at the same time.
His eyes widened, and he reached for the sniper trigger. He aim the Doctor's heart, and no one, not even Blessy, could stop him. He mentally counted slowly and exclaimed, "Gotcha!"
A resounding yell could be heard all around.
"Damn!"
Ramona's bright smile met Zerus gaze. She was two meter away from him and, like him, she was carrying a powerful type of sniper. As he looked at her, the spark in his eyes glowed with rage.
"What the fuck did you do, Ramona?"
"Your hesitancy, bro, can kill you. Tsk!"
“Bullshit! Don't get in my way! He is mine to kill!" he almost yell angrily.
Sh just laughed, obviously ecstatic about what he had said. "Yes, and, oh! I did not murder him. He wasn't hit, or, as I like to say, my pet didn't hit him. Because you know who was struck?"
His suddenly curse the wind. He looked out thru the sniper as quickly as lightning and recognized Hayes carry the woman he adored. It's like the sun had engulfed him in what he had seen.
"Didn't I warn you?" She laughed.
"Ramona!"
When he saw her, he grinned furiously and struck her against the glass wall. His neck tendon had ruptured, and he was so disgusted that he strangled Ramona to die!
"I'll kill you up, wench. I'm going to kill you!"
Despite his firm grip on Ramona's neck, she managed to smile. Her hand slowly rose and pointed to his chest. "That heart will betray you."
He abruptly let Ramona go. Controling himself not to kill his sister! He tugged his hair and his eyes glowed. "Leave!"
She only looked at him for a few seconds before saying, "Happy condolence."
The woman vanished in front of his eyes. He clenched his fist and made the decision to leave the area. He had to go to Blessy even though Hayes was nearby.
What the hell did you do, Ramona? I swear I'll slit your throat! Please pray that Blessy is still alive...
When Zerus realized Blessy's right shoulder was shot, he took a deep breath. He sent a man to see the woman, and his heart almost stopped pounding. He was on a building's rooftop, facing the woman's room, and he freely watched her sleep through the binoculars he was carrying.He set aside the plan to depose Dr. Hayes first. Ramona is the first one he'll encounter, and Zerus knows exactly where to find her."The premises have been secured. Mr. Craige, you'll have a difficult time getting in. Every patient room has facial recognition technology. Dr. Hayes is doubling the building's security. Every corridor has CCTVs, and they are not ordinary CCTVs.”In response to the man who reported to him today, he simply laughef. It's on the other end of the line, and its also a Doctor."Is she completely fine? Make certain that my pyscho sister cannot enter her room. ""Noted."He quickly removed the binoculars and placed them in the pocket of his jacket, which folded up and became the size of a s
THE YOUNG BLESSY was stunned when the young man she had been waiting for almost 1 hours didn't appear. They promised they would meet this bridge but Fender still wasn't there. She sighed and threw stones into the water. How many rocks had she thrown into the water while waiting for him? She doesn't think she can count. She even wore a beautiful dress that she bought at a thrift clothes shop yesterday for twenty pesos. Goodness! 20 pesos is a lot money.“Where is he? He may have forgotten we had a date.” she sighed again and counted from one to a hundred in her mind. If the young man does not show up, she will leave under the bridge.She finished counting from one to a hundred but no Fender appeared. She stood up sadly and looked at her newly washed clothes. She was going home and had to work in the streets again to buy food."Blessy!"Her eyes lit up when she heard Fender's voice. It finally arrived! She immediately greeted the young man with a tight hug. Laughing, he let go of her em
Many garbage trucks passed by. There were also people carrying sacks and sticks. There are minors and there are elderly who started making a living from garbage dumped by trucks. They took garbage that can still be used. Rubbish for others but to poor people like them, it's like a gold. She was suddenly sad in that part. There are many questions in her brain and why not everyone is equal. But all that remained in her brain, she had no plans to question God’s creation."What are you thinking?" Fender later asked her. He put the water back in her bag and tapped her lightly.She turned her gaze to him and smiled sparingly. "Nothing," she looked at his arm and legs with many bruises. She hasn't commented yet, and she might cry again. "Why are you so sane?"He grinned. “Because, I'm handsome?”She smiled somehow. Fender always really shows her that his okay even tho he's not.LAUGHING, Blessy watched Fender as he played catch-up with the children. These are their neighbor's children and so
She were at church early the next day with Indang. She clutched the rosary Fender had given her with both hands. She silently praises God because God still does not abandon her despite the trial God has given her. They went straight to the market after attending church. They simply walked around and look for him. Blessy has no problem with long walks because she is used to them."The market is kinda big so how can we locate your boyfriend?" Indang had her arm around her. This is because she is familiar with the area. "Hide your beauty, Blessy. Those who will see you might charmed your beauty."She lightly slapped her arms. "You're insane. I'm not beautiful!"She simply shrugged and yanked her away. They began to walk around the market courtyard. They went to the wet market first, then to the rice paddies. They examined the young men they saw as tall and about the same size as Fender, but they were disappointed. There isn't even a single trace of the man."He's not working here. But wh
"Blessy, I know you can't understand me right now, but I can only say one thing: I've been doing all of this for you, Blessy.""I really don't understand. We're happy here. I'm contented with what we have now. All that matters to me is to be with you, Fender. You don't have to do all of this for me."He sighed and kissed her on the lips. "I love you. I always do."She didn't respond, and tears welled up in her eyes. Blessy knew Fender is leaving, and she couldn't stop him. "Don't cry please? I find it hard to watch you cry." He wiped her tears away since she couldn't do it on her own, it always the one to wipe away her tears. When it comes to Fender, she's both strong and weak."P-please, don't go with them," her sobbing grew louder. She doesn't want him to go with those men she believes will be detrimental to the man she loves. "Didn't we promise each other? We promised and you know that! Please don't go with them tomorrow. If you do that, I'll go insane." She took his hand in her a
ZERUS immediately left the Hospital after they make love inside the hospital room, he quickly returned to his car. Before Blessy closed her eyes and fall asleep, she begged him not to leave her for the third time.As he stared into her beautiful eyes, he felt as if his head would explode in pain. He knew he had forgotten something in his past, but he wasn't sure. He vividly recalls his youth, when he lived on the streets and suffered like a rat. He recalls living in a dumpsite for a few months and making friends, but he has no memories of Blessy. He has no memories with her and who is she in his life. He exhaled deeply and shook his head. He needed his friend's help and he think he's going insane trying to find the woman's information in his head. He wished he could recall Blessy's lovely face from his past, but he couldn't recall anything. His mind was like a locked door.He immediately went to his friend's private bar. When he saw him, it immediately run to him."You're alive, Zeru
If Blessy thought it would be easy for her to forget Fender, she was wrong. Because his quiet world began to become chaotic. Everything reappeared in his brain and, he remembered everything more clearly. Fender was not just a man in his life."Sister, why are you sad?"He looked at a child named Raiza and caressed her long hair. "Does Sister Blessy look sad?"It nodded innocently. He sighed slowly and smiled tenderly at her. He cannot show the children that he is affected."Sister, I cooked Mother Jean's favorite catfish."He was not dumbfounded by what Manong Ben said. It was fun to see Felopina return. He remembers something about the fried catfish he mentioned.“Are you okay Sister? I think you need to rest and you still have a wound. ”“O-okay I'm just Manong. Thank you for remembering."It nodded. She seemed to want to ask him something but chose to turn around and go back to her hut. He sighed slowly. He glanced for a moment at his arm with the sling still on. He hasn’t moved it
BLESSY drop herself on the soft bed inside the resort's glass igloos, exhausted. She felt relieved when she laid down her body. She's immediately hide inside the comforter. On the outside, her mouth felt like it had turned to ice. It's also exhausting to yell and play in the snow with Fender outside, as if they're children with nothing to worry about."Tired?""Yes," she said, a smile on her face when she face Fender who's now laying in her side. She couldn't believe they were engaged, and asked her to marry him. She raised her hand to the air, and her smile widened as she examined the ring she was wearing. "But I just can't get enough of you.""Really?" Amusement filled his eyes."If you want, I'll give this ring back to you," she joke, pretending to remove the ring from her finger, but Fender stopped her with his lips. "I love you, love. You're all mine." He smiled as he caressed her cheek."You kissed me a lot," she said, her cheeks turning red as she stared him. "You always kisse
