Slap!
Romina eyes widened as her head fell as a result of the slap, her cheek burning up.
She raised her head to look at Fernando who was staring murderously at her.
“How dare you slap me??” She roared.
“I warned you not to try to harm Yolanda, didn’t I?” He barked at her and she swallowed hard.
“You didn’t listen, you went ahead and tried to abduct her!” He yelled.
“How could you think such a thing?! Why would I abduct-”
“Oh quit the pretence liar! I know you too well crafty wítch to know that you did it… Well I’ve got no time for long talk, have a good time in jail.” He said and immediately the door of his room opened and the police came in.
“Wh-what’s going on here? Fernando what’s this?” Romina stuttered in fear.
“Miss Romina García, you’re under arrest for the attempted kídnap on Mrs Yolanda Miguel Gonzàlez. I advice you remain silent as wh@tëver you say or do will be used against you in the law court. You have a right to a lawyer, if you can’t afford one, the state will do that for you, now move!” The inspector instructed and Romina shook her head.
“You can’t arrest me! Fernando!”
“Handcuff her!” The inspector said to a sergeant and he quickly did as he was told.
“No, no please!” She cried as she was dragged away.
Fernando sighed.

< CINEMA >
They bought their popcorn and walked into the hall, they were dressed in a matching couples outfit.
The movie had not started when they got there, so they simply took their seat.
“I can’t wait for the movie to start.” Miguel said with a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
“Why are you more excited than I am? I literally dragged you down here.” She said and he smirked.
“Maybe because I love romance movie, steamy.” He whispered the last word in her ear and she shuddered.
Just then, the lights came on and the large plasma TV in front, switched on.
The name of the movie, ‘TO DIE FOR LOVE’ appeared on the screen.
“I wonder why you chose this movie, To die for love… It sounds like an emotional movie.” He scoffed and she chuckled.
“Wanna watch an emotional movie, I just feel like crying.” She said and he looked at her weirdly.
Crying?? Was she okay?
He thought.
The movie began playing while they munched on their popcorn as they watched.
Just like expected, it was an emotional film. A teary one at that.
The ML and the FL in the story had a complicated love story. Their families were rivals, so their love story wasn’t accepted by their parents… They were been pulled apart several times.
“Oh no.” Yolanda mumbled and Miguel rolled his eyes.
This wasn’t the kind of movie he expected, it wasn’t steamy at all… Just playing with someone’s emotion, mtcheeew.
He hissed and began pressing his phone but stopped when he began hearing low sobs.
He raised his head and his eyes widened in surprise to see Yolanda crying.
Seriously??
Was… Was she really crying coz of a movie?? He wondered.
“Hey… What’s wrong??” He asked and her tears only increased.
He looked around to see if people were looking at them, luckily for him no one was.
“He shouldn’t have died. Why did he die? This movie is so emotional, heartbreaking! I feel sorry for Elsie.” She cried more and Miguel face palmed himself.
At times he wondered if this was the same Yolanda he got married to, coz she keeps surprising him.
So she could be this emotional but keeps acting all cold, tch!
“It’s okay, he didn’t die in real, it’s just a movie…” He tried to pacify.
“You won’t understand, it looks so real…” She hiccupped and he gave her his handkerchief since she won’t stop crying.
“Let’s just go from here, I can’t handle this movie any longer.” She said and stood up.
Miguel stood up as well and they left.
All through their drive to the hotel, she kept soliloquizing.
It was just a freaking movie, not like he died in real but she won’t take that.
“Why do I feel your tears has nothing to do with this movie any longer?? Coz you’ve been crying for hours now.” He said when they got to their room.
She sniffed.
“You won’t understand.” She said, trying to stop the tears, her eyes had become red already.
“Then make me understand.” He urged.
“It’s late already, goodnight.” She sniffed before walking into the bathroom.
Okay, this was it! Will she say something already??
°°°°°
Few minutes later, the two had gone to bed. Yolanda slept on the bed while Miguel on the couch, just like they did.
Suddenly, she began having her usual nightmare, but this time it was clearer.
~~~
“Please, don’t do this Nico, help!” She yelled as he kissed her neck forcefully.
His hands moved to her back and he began unzipping her gown.
“No!! Please!” She begged and tried to push him but his hold was too strong.
“Shut up!” He yelled, frightening her.
Her eyes glistened with tears that it became hard for her to see with her glasses.
She kept struggling with him and he pushed her on the bed. “Please.” She whimpered as he joined her on the bed.
“Don’t act like a novice Yoyo, you love me right?? Then let me have you just this once.” He said but she shook her head..
“Please Nico, I’m not ready.” She said and immediately got down from the bed but he caught her before she could try to run.
“You’re not going anywhere, you’re mine!!” He yelled, pushing her back on the bed.
He began kissing her violently. She managed to break the kiss and bit him hard on his chest.
He screamed in pain and let her go. She quickly got down from the bed and began running to the door.
It was locked but the key was there, so she just twisted it backwards, before she could open it, Nico dragged her from behind and pushed her roughly.
She fell, hitting her head in the cupboard which she held for support.
“Bítch! You’re not going anywhere until you satisfy me!” He roared and came for her but she was already furious.
Her eyes met with the glassy flower vase on the cupboard and she held it. Immediately Nico turned her to face him, she smashed the vase on his head.
And blood filled everywhere.
~~~
“Ahh!!” She sprang up in fear. Miguel rushed to her.
“Landa??” He called. She was panting heavily, tears rolling down her eyes.
“Landa… You’re crying, what’s the problem??” He asked but she didn’t answer.
A while later, she gave Miguel the glass after drinking the water and he took it.
“Are you ready to share this disturbing nightmare with me now??” He asked.
They were currently seated in the balcony staring at the stars in the sky.
She wasn’t crying again and her sniffles had reduced.
“It all began four years ago, when I got into the college…” She started.
TBC…
