Chapter 16: Memories of her

It was a beautiful night, a night that I needed a walk on the beach. I loved to walk whenever I got a time from my part time jobs, I walked for hours on the beach. My weekly schedule was very congested, no time for any flings or girlfriends, I liked it that way, never felt the emptiness in my life. I was a school teacher, singer and a RJ. My week started with my part time radio shows that's on early in the morning of every weekdays, I went to my school job, late time tutorials at my coaching center of the school that I worked till 8 o'clock, then to my house. On weekends, I worked on radios as a part timer whenever I needed to provide my services as an extra, I was the volunteer there or else, I had to conduct two shows based on singing with newbies to give them a chance to show their hidden talents. Not everyone was allowed there but only the certified or the exceptional people were given the opportunity. From there, we tried to give them a new career based on their talents. My weekend was all for singing as much as I could. That moonlight night was a weekend, so, I had a time to walk after my shows, it was not that far from the beach though. I was feeling awesome and relaxed after walking on the beach for half an hour on late night, it was nearly 10.30, I was on my way, when I saw a mini microbus, with dark glasses, parked on the sideways of the main entrance at the beach, it looked suspicious to me. I was curious to see inside the car, when I walked to the back of the car, the back door was open, I couldn't see a thing at first, then I took my little keychain torch to look what was inside that car on the dark corner of the road, something greasy, sticky, slimy, what was it? I tried to understand it by testing with my fingers, it looked like blood that's been mixed with grease, smelled like blood too. I was horrified at my situation, I couldn't understand what should I do, I was just feeling dizzy, then I slowly checked the whole car, my heartbeat was stopped when I saw greasy blood covered all over the place, minced fats and meat here and there, bad odour from the car making me to vomit but I strongly hold myself. With my tiny little torch, under the moonlight night, I was feeling frustrated, disgusted, my inner soul was screaming out loud. For once, I thought I was going to faint. Then I saw trail of blood dragged from the mini microbus. It was ended on the beach. I was so afraid by the thought that it might be a human who was killed then thrown to the sea. When I was seeing with my blurry eyes, the ocean, then I saw a sack was trying hard not to caught by the tide. I took a long breath of bravery in my heart and pulled out the sack from the sea shore, it was tightly tied with nylon rope, sewn by it too, when I opened it to see what's inside, I saw a woman's head at first, then the rest, there were few of them. I ran away from it as fast as I could till I got breathless, I was crying out of conscious, it was probably a whole family on that sack, I called the police about the homicide. It was 12.30 when the police came and rescued me and the sack. They found out it was a family with a man, two women and 12 kids. They were slaughtered by the hired killer. It was about the property, perhaps, police was not sure. I was released from that police case though I was the founder of them, so nothing forward would be informed to me, but I couldn't forget those tired, dark eyes woman's head, wet by the blood and grease, half of her face from the lower jaw was nearly smashed, her teeth was hanging from the jaw, her surprised eyes deemed by the instant death of hers. I was thinking, it might be someone closer who had killed her that's why, she was surprised, her jaw was broken by a greasy wrench, they all were killed in their garage, they fought real hard to survive, the greasy blood was the reason for that, as the police reported to the newspaper. I was shocked, shaken and could not forget her surprised eyes that was looking straight at me when I pulled her head from the sack. It was the night that I never could've failed to remember whenever I thought about walking on the beach at night, her face came on to my memories.
