Being the last one to close the cafe and now our bar too, it was a given that it would have been a little late. Shivers ran down my spine and I could feel the goosebumps all over my body, as it was already past 12 and the winter was on its way. The twinkling stars made me excited as I walked while looking at them without caring if I would trip or not. Most probably, I wouldn't since there were no obstacles on the path.
A tingling sensation surges within my body whenever I am reminded of the time at the hospital....
♧♧♧♧
"Urgh... I groan as I meet with the gleaming white light, reflecting directly on my eyes as soon as I open them.
Turning my head to the side, I try to figure out where I am and I am met with a frantic looking figure. "Seto?" I call out and he dashes towards my side. With a concerned look etched on his face, his once knitted eyebrows unengaged as he inquired me of my condition, "how are you feeling? Still dizzy?"
He puts his hand on either side of my shoulder and looks me straight in the eyes. "Don't lie." He threatens and I couldn't help but laugh. "Are you worried or angry?"
"Both. Why won't you tell me if you were feeling unwell?"
He looks genuinely hurt.
"I wasn't hiding. Didn't know it would be severe enough for me to faint."
Scratching the back of my head, I try to explain earning another reaction out of him.
"So you don't know what's going on with you?"
He arches an eyebrow and tilts his head, expecting my answer.
"No? Is it serious?"
My eyebrows pull up together while my mouth stretches, displaying all of my teeth, as I ask him with fear.
"You are expecting." He casually states.
"Of course, I am expecting... and answer... from you, so what's wrong with me?"
His eyelids stretch as wide as it could as he looks at me in disbelief. I could see the corner of his lips twitch a little.
"Are you dumb? I meant you are 'expecting'."
"Yeah? And....?" The trail of my voice lowers as I stretch my words.
"You are pregnant!" He finally explodes at me while I stare at him dumb founded.
"What? Really? When?"
Seto's once annoyed preposition changes and he chuckles. "Asking me?"
I mimic his chuckle and roll my eyes. "Not funny." I state.
"So, you guys are going to be parents soon." Seto excitedly chimes as he gives me his wide smile.
"Don't tell Arnold."
I immediately say, before his hand snoops around his pocket to fish out his phone and call Arnold.
"Why? He would be over the Moon, wouldn't he?"
Letting out a sigh, I look at him, " his birthday is in 10 days. I want to surprise him with the news."
I inform in excitement, anticipating the reaction I would pull out of Arnold on his big day.
♧♧♧♧
A loud scream made me halt my steps as I was pulled out of my thoughts. My heart skipped a beat and started drumming, literally banging my rib cage. Little groans and cries followed soon after that.
I was about to turn his step and run towards the cafe. 'Okay, turn slowly and fasten your footsteps after you reach there and call the police. That's the plan.'
I mentally noted.
Sucking in a deep breath I was about to turn-
"I had warned you about killing you the moment I found you. And, yet you had guts to try and rub away."
A sinister chuckle broke through the silent night.
Arnold?
I gulped. That's his voice isn't it?
I know I shouldn't go there. I know I shouldn't let my curiosity win over me but before knowing my feet had already walked past the building and I was faced with a blood-stained body barely being able to beg for his life and Arnold stepping at his temple.
He was not the Arnold I have been seeing. It was such a gruesome scene, yet he was chuckling.
Sweat beads formed around my head. I was in confusion, denial and panic, all at once. Which was the real Arnold? The one I see on a daily basis, who is loving or the one in front of me, or the one in front of me: a ruthless man.
My hands reached towards my stomach and I gently caressed it. Torn between wanting to run away and confronting Arnold, my eyes wandered at the half dead body.
Shivers ran down my body. I can't confront Arnold. I definitely can't.
I hitched- our eyes met. And his eyes begged for help, he tried to reach his arms towards my direction.
"Help me, please..."
♧♧♧♧
Tears started forming in Kyoko's eyes. Unable to control his breathing, he cupped his mouth.
Following his action, Arnold too trailed his eyes towards where Kyoko once was. His instinct said there was somebody. Without wasting a second he rushed towards the road, there was no one. He looked at the sides but still no sign of any life.
He stood there for a while, then turned back smirking at the half dead figure.
Oh well, I can just deal with whoever it was later.
