Walking along the sidewalks of a garden, listening to the rustling sound of leaves, taste the tingling sweetness in the air makes you feel just right.
What happen if it rains? What will you do when you can never see any flower blooming again? What happen when you turn your head and see the last leaf falls?
No all things go the way we wanted. Like this time, I had a shock when this is actually inside me. Although you hold deep down of your heart saying this is me, I know myself well, but, you never know it all.

It was about 2pm on one of the weekdays. I was driving, on my way home. This time it’s a little different. The way I drive, the way I hold the steering wheels and the facial expression of mine when I met a heavy traffic.
No doubt I was really proud driving this new car of mine. A Prussian Blue Ferrari F430 Spider became my all new spouse today. It was a gift from my dad. Thinking back, I can’t stop laughing on how proud I was drifting and expecting few heads to turn around in awe. Well I must say it went well.
At one of the traffic lights, I saw dad’s car behind me. The red light turned green. I drove up nearer to the path walk and pull over.
Dad: How is the car’s performance? You like it?
Me: Yeah. It’s nice. I will take good care of it. You going home soon?
Dad: Not sure. Maybe I’ll meet up with some friends first. Drive safe okay.
Me: Okay
We waved goodbye and he left. I switch to open the car’s roof to feel some wind blowing through my hair. Still a sunny day I would say. Looking at the time, I don’t feel like going back to my home yet. Nothing much I can do there. Dinner is not ready until 7.30pm. Elwin might not be there too so I will be alone staring into space.
Slowly changing to the left lane, I realized that there is this car which had followed me 20 minutes ago. It was an old yellow Beetle with a middle age man driving. Almost bald head, he gave me the stare through my side mirrors.
80, 90, 100, 120… I stepped on the accelerator to overrun this guy. Some maniac I thought. Unbelievably, that old junk car can catch up as fast too! He finally speed right next to me and ask me to stop.
Nervous and curious, I kept looking at him. Many things in my mind is running. Where have I seen him before? What does he want? Is he a robber?
Finally clearing all those questions in my head, I slowed down the car and wind down the window. He got out of the car, standing just outside my car, giving me a sinister smile.
Man: Holy Cow you just couldn’t recognize me huh?
Me: …. You are?
Man: Mark. Mark Stevens.. We met at the bar remember?
Me: uh huh.. yeah… *pretending that I remember
Mark: Remember.. Tonight something will happen to you. Be careful and don’t react according to your feelings. You will regret.
Me: … *thinking that he is some f*cked up shit guy who is playing a prank.
I started my engine, wind up the window and drove straight home.
It was a long journey. I reached my mansion at about 5pm. Yes, mansion. I am not rich because I have a stable career but it was my grandfather’s inheritance. 3 story with a total of 12 rooms. In this mansion, only my parents, me, Elwin and 3 housekeepers are staying in.
Finally I stepped in the place, it was all dark and humid. I smell something fragrant too. Like some frangipani or jojoba scent. Not thinking much, I ran upstairs to my room, and jumped on my bed.
The smell of lavender, the softness of the bedsheets made by French Chiffon made my eyelids felt heavier and heavier.
Before closing my eyes entirely, something woke me up.
Hold on. This is not the smell I usually smell. Not my perfume too. What is that? I feel my head getting heavier and I can’t move my body. I’m getting, restless.
Woke up and found out it’s about 9pm already. Shit! Why nobody came to wake me up for dinner? Where is Elwin? What are the others doing?
I walked out of my room, seeing my parents and Elwin were sitting on the grand couch enjoying after-dinner cocktails. As I walk back to my room, my forehead felt warm.
Oh no. Fever.
Suddenly a lady came into my room. I must say she is really beautiful with the long wavy brown hair, the most innocent brown eyes, a supermodel body which you can find in elite fashion magazines and most of all she smells so sweet like lavender!
Wearing on towel covering her mid-body, I was curious who this person is.
Me: Hi. You are?
Lady: You don’t have to know my name. I’ll be staying here from now.
Me: What the? Hey I’m asking you a question. Do you mind?
Lady: Bitch. Stop being a whore.
Me: What the f*ck? Who the hell are you? Man You do look like some over and over used up slut in the back street. Damn you!
She gave me the coldest stare and stomp ragingly towards me. Pushing me towards the wall so hard that I felt my head behind must have grown a hump later.
Lady: Let me tell you once and for all. I am Elwin’s women. I will be the one he engage with. So save up your ass and start packing before you regret.
I was stunned. Elwin’s women? What is his relationship with this lady? He’s cheating on me?
Before I realized it was too late. I began to pull her hair and beat her up. She screamed but my angry laugh over power her voice.
Me: Scream all you can you piece of dirt. I will show you what happened to people who take things which belongs to me. I want you to feel the pain, slowly, deeply and sharply.
Man I would say she is a tough girl as well. We struggled so hard that most of the time she got herself injured and bleed all over.
I’m going to finish this once and for all. I opened one of my drawer, inside was a knife. Yes. Just what I wanted.
I hold her from the back, covering her mouth and drag that struggling bitch to the bath tub. The water in the tub is still running, leaving an overflowed pool wetting the entire floor.
I locked the door and wow. The struggle made her towel fell off. She had the sexiest hip, the fairest skin and the curviest waistline. Sadly, I want her to suffer so badly.
Throwing her into the tub, she choked as water went in through her nose. I hold up the long knife and there. Stab.
Not through her heart nor the stomach. I stabbed through and straight into her vagina. Her eyes opened and she stopped moving, frozen.
The knife in my hand is still inside her. I pulled it off so hard that a piece of her flesh dropped out as well, floating on the water. Blood can be seen flowing out from her genital areas.
Someone is banging the door real hard. I laughed as I knew there is no turning back. I hate it when man cheated on me and slept with other women on my bed. Those dirty sheet. Those dirty body of him.
I began slashing the body in the tub as Elwin managed to kick open the door. He was shocked to see at first his dearly lover died with her eyes wide open. How sad…
Then only he turned his eyes to me.
Me: Aww.. Don’t look at me this way. You asked for it. By the way, I’m sure you enjoy the sexy body of hers. How romantic.
Elwin carry the dead body without saying a word and walked downstairs. I’m still standing in the cold and wet bathroom, the lights blinking.
I laughed. But I don’t understand why my tears kept trickling down. I knew that since then I will live alone in horror and unloved.
Never knew that loving a person would bring such end to me.
