章節 11: His attempt to kill his landlady
The next morning, people held the newspaper and watched the news on TV about the senator found dead in his swimming pool, which was filled with blood. Tristan ate popcorn as he watched the news about the man. He smirked and then received a call from his dad, telling him he did a good job.
He sighed and turned off the television. He went out to see Liliana ready for work but ignored him. One of the reasons why he was upset and wanted her dead, she was being rude to him lately and even called her friend, thinking of her friend he forgot he was supposed to kill her for getting him upset yesterday, but now he wasn't anymore, he already spared the unfortunate being. Still in thought, Liliana drove out of the building with his eyes on her. For some reasons which he found absurd, Liliana ignoring him emerged some feelings inexpressible yet unwanted feelings inside him. This is why he needed her, not wanted because the word wanted wasn't a good explanation. He needed her dead.
When Liliana arrived at the hospital, she immediately got a patient who had been suffering from a brain tumor, the man had come so many times for check-ups but didn't have enough to pay for the surgery and now that he came, she was happy that he was able to take the surgery, but the tumor had grown larger.
The surgery might cause his death or turn him blind, or he might actually survive it all.
Before entering the operating room, Liliana washed her hands and went in, to behold the nurses and doctors ready for the surgery. The man was lying on the operating table.
She as the chief surgeon was achieving impressive results until something went wrong. In haste to save the man's life, the anesthesiologist kept squashing the intravenous fluid but sooner the monitor made sounds, and they all looked to see a straight line. The next moment, the man didn't make it.
The chief surgeon and the assistant stared at each other in disappointment before letting their shoulders down. Then Liliana realized that even when she could sense something bad was going to happen, the power to stop it wasn't in her hands… It was in fate's hands.
She left the operating room and went to the man's family with a hopeless look. Through her look they began to cry, she explained to them that she did her best, but the tumor had grown bigger, and with that, she left with the other surgeons behind her.
In her office, Liliana had her head down with her chest feeling so heavy. She raked her hands through her hair and sighed before taking a book to read. It was more about the study of the human system. She was deep in the book until Raquel walked in.
"I heard a surgery you performed wasn't successful," she said when she walked in, sitting on a chair before dropping the milkshake she bought for the both of them. Liliana turned her chair to her and picked one. "It's not your fault," Raquel told her because she knew her friend was always so keen to save people's lives at all costs and if she didn't succeed, she blames herself.
"I know, I just feel bad for him and his family… It was like the money they raised for the surgery went away for nothing" she said, in thoughts.
Raquel sighed. "There's nothing we can do," she said before drinking her milkshake. Liliana watched her before doing the same.
"So how's the staying with Tristan going? Is he still hurting you?" She asked with her eyes, saying she wanted to hear that he was hurting her.
"No, if we don't talk to each other," she replied.
"Oh, I was eager to hear something else, so I can deal with that crazy man. He's just so mean, and you know… He's too much ugly. His nose is just too small and his eyes are so dark and scary, but it doesn't scare me… I've dealt with such men like that, Tristan." She had disgust written on her face.
"And his lips…"
"I've tasted it before," Liliana said in thought, with Raquel explaining how he looks she tried recalling his face. Somehow she felt it wasn't his real face… Why was she always having so many confusing feelings about him? Feelings that make her wonder what was really going on around her. Makes her wonder if Tristan was really a true person. Was he perhaps hiding his true identity? To think of it all, she certainly didn't know much about him. Where he was from? How he has no parents? If he had any siblings? All she knew was that he was a security guard and doesn't have parents.
Did she perhaps make a mistake by letting him in without investigating and knowing more about him?
Raquel goggled at her friend before blinking a few times. "You kissed him?" She asked in disbelief.
Liliana didn't know she said that out, but since she had said it, she needed to say to her friend how they ended up kissing. "We played a game and the deal was for me to kiss him,"
Raquel blinked. She was confused, they were that close to play a game. She shook her head. "Wait, Liliana… You guys played a game together. Were you friends?" She asked confused.
Liliana explained how and what happened to cause their kiss.
"Oh, that was…kind…of romantic. I mean he gave you a good first kiss," she smiled.
Liliana did too but soon vanished off her face.
"Did it taste well?" She asked.
"I think so."
"Oh, but I still hate that man!" Her facial expression changed, which wasn't expected.
Well, it was written on her face that Raquel didn't like Tristan.
Tristan finished in Liliana's kitchen to cause an explosion when she was ready to cook, just then she walked in tired and sad. He followed her to her room, invisible. He watched how she took off her dress and took a cool shower. He had wanted to see her like that again and now that he was, it was disturbing him. Her body distracts not only his body but his soul.
Tristan teleported back to his room and covered his head with a pillow, he wanted to avoid feeling anything that could draw him toward her. Closing his eyes, he suddenly found himself in her room again. Oh! Why can't he stop himself?
Liliana looked around because she was feeling strange and uneasy, she felt something bad was going to happen, but nothing seemed wrong anywhere. She went to the kitchen and began to cut some vegetables, and then she took the lighter to turn on her stove.
Tristan had been watching her, but soon he felt that chilling yet unpleasant sensation settling in his mid-section. And he recognized that feeling, he wanted to change his mind but he forced himself to be so adamant and avid about her death. He should feel no remorse for her at all, Liliana had to die!
