evil angel pt 2

Mandy was a fine young girl. She was married to Lou and they were about to have a newborn child when Lou left her alone to be with a girl who Mandy thought would be her darling little daughter.

I sat next to her when she cried her heart out. I am the one who introduce Lou to her and as far as I know I feel as guilty as hell.

I told her that it is just a phase. But as much as I’m trying hard to convince Mandy about that, I don’t even believe it is a phase. It is more than a phase. It is a disaster.

Mandy took her own life after she left my house half an hour later. Until now I still blame myself. I shouldn’t let her left alone. Actually I didn’t expect her to run away when I was talking to the phone with Chris.

I may be talking to him quite some times because all I knew Mandy were bled out in my bath tub with knife on the floor and her throat slit. She’s choking her own blood!

I took my time crying on the floor near her dead body before I heard my phone rang. I ran to my bedroom and answered the call.

“Mindy, have you seen Mandy?” asked Lou on the line.

“What?” and then I realize my best friend is dead! I’m in shocked and all I could do is cried with her blood still on my hands.

I texted Chris as soon as I came to my sense but it’s all too late. Whatever I done, I will never raise my best friend back from dead.

Chris came as soon as he got my message.

   *****************************************************************************

I was at home with Natalie when I received a phone call from Chris that I need to go to the morgue to identify Mandy’s body.

Mandy’s dead?

I wasn’t so sure what to respond when Chris told me that but to be completely honest, I am in relief. It feels like I have nothing much to concern about other than Natalie.

I sat Natalie on my lap. Natalie just ignores me. She’s too busy with her teddy.

 

“We’re going somewhere,” I said. Natalie looks at me with her sparkling eyes.

“Ice cream?” asked her. Her eyes grow wider as she wraps her arms around my neck and kisses my cheek. She then jump off of me screaming with joy and ran to the front door.

Oh sure. I promised her ice cream if she helps me with laundry today.

I stand and took my keys on the TV cabinet. Natalie is already waiting near the car.

We drive to the nearest Seven Eleven then we’re heading to the morgue at X’s Hospital.

 *****************************************************************************

I got text from Mindy saying “Thanks for everything”

I think she feels guilty over Mandy’s death.

They were like a twin sister. They have same green eyes, slender finger and they wore same size of clothes. I sometimes thought that they were separated during birth.

Heck their names also rhyme the same!

I just am resting my back on the couch outside the morgue when her parents arrive.

 “How this happened?” asked her mom. Her eyes are red and she’s holding damp tissue in her hand.

“I don’t know” is the only answer I can offer.

I mean who would’ve known? She even listed her to-do-list for today and placed them on the refrigerator at my house.

“You sure it’s Mindy?” asked her dad. He sits next to me. I just nod my head. “Why she do that?”

I don’t know. And I really wanna know. Two weeks before our wedding day? Why she do that?

Evil Angel (pt 1)

Mandy sat next to me one day and start talking about how life become hard since Lou left them for a girl who they treat more than a family.

Mandy knew her relationship will be over once they took her in.

She is young. In fact she calls her mommy.

Who would have thought a girl that seems so harmless could be a home-wreaker?

Mandy cried her heart out. She even said she wills suicide. She wants to kill herself and the baby she carrying.

Yes. Mandy was pregnant. How could Lou never notice that? How can ignorance be a part of their happily marriage relationship? I’m sorry. It should be WAS happily married relationship.

Now, Mandy lying helplessly in front of me. I swear I still can see tears running down her check. She doesn’t look too in peace in that coffin.

And again it is YES. My best friend Mandy now is a heartbroken corpse. She is dead.

Then there is Lou, coming to pay Mandy his last respect. He with her! How could he!

I can see the girl feels nothing. Her expression shows no sympathy. She just stares at Mandy’s cold body.  Empty. How come she is so cold?

And there’s Lou. Holding her hand as they walk to Mandy’s, I can see he is not very sorry. In fact his eyes show that he is in relief. Like the weight of the world has been lift from his shoulder.

“You don’t belong here” I said.

“She’s MY wife. And inside her is MY baby” said Lou without looking at me.

“She is not your wife. Not anymore since the day you left her,” I said as I look at the girl. She just stares at my best friend’s dead body like she means nothing to her.

Lou wipes his forehead with a small blue handkerchief and just walks away. I know by the look in his face that he believes he got nothing to regret. He takes the girl’s little hand and they just immerge into the sorrow crowd. I wonder how the crowd think but I do know that Mandy’s parents are not please to see their former son-in-law’s face during their late daughter’s funeral.

“Mindy…..” then I hear a whisper calls out my name. I don’t know if it is a hallucination or it is real. All I know is that the ground under my feed goes soft. And now it all turns black. Too black and that is the only thing I see.

****************************************************************************

I can see myself lying in the coffin.

Wait…. Those suppose to be Mandy’s. How on Earth I see me in there?

Next to me is Mandy. She is wearing all white. Her eyes even icy cold white. And I could swear that she is staring at me right now.

“Well Mindy… I am alone. You promise you will be there for me forever. How could you let them buried me all by myself?” said Mandy in such cold voice as she touch my hand. I shiver.

“Mandy… You are the one who suppose to be in there!” I cry as I feel this chill up until my spine when she touches my ‘dead’ body.

“Yes. But I don’t want to be alone. You will be there for me just like you promised,”

I don’t even know what to do. I just can pray that it is all just a dream. I walk (or it is float?) to my ‘dead’ body and touches it. No way! I feel cold. Am I really dead?

“You are” said Mandy as she grin at me. She looks evil. Not like Mandy that I used to know.
