NIGHT ≈ ROOM 303>
“All done.” He said as he was done applying the antibiotics on her hand.
“Thanks.”
“Welcome.” She smiled, they got lost staring intently at each other’s eyes.
Yolanda suddenly broke the stare.
“Good night.” She said hastily and made to lay on the bed.
“I’m sorry.” He said suddenly.
“For what??” She asked, feigning ignorance.
“For last night.” He said.
“I already forgot about it, do not bring it up.” She said.
“Okay,,, I have another thing to ask.” He said.
“What is it??”
“Your nightmare, what is it about??” He asked and her expression changed.
Her eyes widened and she gulped down nervously.
He knows…
She thought she has stopped having the nightmare. She couldn’t tell him, she was scared of what he would think, what will he say??
No she can’t!!
“I know it has something to do with your past, because you keep repeating the same words… You can always share your problems with me.” He assured.
She shook her head.
“It’s okay if you don’t wanna tell me now. But whenever you’re ready to share your problem, I’m always here to listen.” He told her.
“Now go to sleep.” He said and she laid down.
He went to the couch, which he laid on, waiting for sleep to come take him.
Yolanda bit her lower lips, trying to fight the tears that were threatening to fall, but she couldn’t.
She began crying quietly, remembering it.
Miguel was still trying to catch sleep when he began hearing her low sobs.
“Landa.” He whispered to be sure he heard well.
But he definitely heard well. He stood up and walked to her.
“Landa…” He called, sitting beside her.
Yolanda quickly wiped the tears on her face immediately she perceived his presence.
“Landa…” He called again.
“What is it??” She asked, trying to hide the croakiness in her voice.
“Are you okay?? You’re crying.” He said.
“No no, I’m not crying.” She lied, sitting up.
“Something fell in my eyes.” She added.
“While lying down??” Miguel asked.
“Something fell in your eyes while lying down??” He asked, seeing through the lie.
She looked away, fighting another round of tears that were threatening to fall again.
“You can talk to me.” He assured and she broke down in tears.
“Sassy queen…” He called, but she didn’t look at him, she kept on crying.
He had no choice than to pull her into a hug.
“I… I… Kílled him… I…” She stuttered, hugging him tightly.
“Calm down Landa.” He patted her.
He broke the hug but she was still crying.
“C’mon stop crying already,,,” He begged, it was breaking his heart seeing her cry.
“I… I…” She hiccupped.
“I kílled him.” She said and he arched his brow.
“You kílled who??” He asked and she looked at him with a teary face.
She shook her head before standing up, she ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
“Landa.” He called, rushing to the door.
She didn’t reply but he could hear her loud sobs.
TBC…
