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.
