There wasn’t much of a crowd when Simon left the hospital, so he decided to walk. It’s a good thing Seth volunteered to check on Ella. He had already walked a half-mile, and it surprised him when a car ran into him and threw him a few meters back because of the impact. The front of the car that hit him was slightly smashed.
Luna didn’t dare move. When she sank into it, she quickly exited the car and immediately approached the man lying on the road who still seemed alive. Her face was a few inches away from him as she was about to check on him when he suddenly opened his eyes. To her shock, her right palm landed instantly on his face, which surprised the man.“Whoa! You know, you are a brute.” Simon said, while caressing his face that the girl hit him. “You crashed on me and then slapped me,” he continued.He got up from lying on the road, rubbing his cheek. Simon sat down and turned to the woman, kneeling on the road. From the look on her face, she must be daydreaming. And Simon rose, stretched out his hand, and helped her raise her, which the woman did. And when they were face-to-face, Simon beheld the face of the woman.“Aren’t you the police officer who arrested me?” Simon raised an eyebrow.She seemed to remember him, too. She stared away from his eyes and said, “I’m off work, so even if you don’t follow protocol, I won’t arrest you.”The woman walked back to the car. “Hey!” Simon called out.The woman stopped and looked at Simon. “Don’t you even want to make an apology? You bumped into me. Thank you so much, and I won’t get hurt.”, Simon complained.The woman looked as if she was thinking. She looks at him, and he looks great. She turns to her car, which is flat.“I’m sorry.” The woman said. “Are you okay? You want me to…”“I’m fine. I want your apology.” He said it, sounding sincere.“I’m sorry. I didn’t notice you crossing.” The woman said nothing.Simon stared at the woman with a bit of worry. “You alright?”The woman nodded a bit. Simon’s telephone rang, and he immediately pulled it out of his pocket. The woman got into the car and drove off.“What’s the matter with that one, seemingly selfless?” Simon asked himself before answering the phone call.Seth’s name was on Simon’s phone, as was the picture of him he played with. He put two strings on it and painted it black around the eye.“Uncle, Ella is awake,” said Seth.-“Stop being a cop. You’ll harm yourself and put your life in danger,” said Simon.And Seth started peeling the fruit while sitting on the other side of the bed, and Simon stood on the other side.“Uncle, we already talked about this. You know that this is really what I always wanted,” said Ella.“Why do you want men’s work? Are you a lesbian?” Simon asked, looking worried.Seth laughed while Ella was upset. “Geez, uncle, I’m not a lesbian. What made you think so?”“I tell you, quit as a police officer. Are you trying to catch death before I do?” said Simon in a raised voice.“Uncle, I didn’t spend two years in service just to give up on something like that! I don’t want to!” she said, sounding annoyed.“You are so obstinate. Do you want Samuel to die worrying about you?” said Simon. “Are you guys seriously going to die before I do?”Ella frowned. “Who did it?” asked Simon, his arms folded.“Enemy, who else?” Ella said.“Did you face this man?” asked Simon.“No. He’s a thief, you know. I didn’t know it had a gun.” said Ella.Simon felt that the young lady was sullen, so he stopped asking questions.“It’s difficult for me to watch you die. You don’t know what it feels like. If I could catch the bullets that struck you, I would. You’re still young, Ella. I want you to have an enjoyable life,” Simon exclaimed.“Don’t you think, Uncle, I’ve never enjoyed being a cop?” said Ella. “You were a soldier, Uncle, so you know what might happen to me, but it’s me. This is the choice I made. I’m happy with my profession. And it is part of dying for our duty. Oh! Do you think life went up a couple of years ago because of your blood?” Ella said.“Haist, you and Seth are siblings. You’re both pains in the ass.” Simon surrendered.“We’re giving you a favor, uncle! You were going to die because you were so irritated with us. Don’t you think we’re in a win-win situation?” Seth said, feeling proud of himself.“That boy is foolish,” Simon said. He took the pillow and slapped Seth.Seth just laughed at what he did. Ella laughed at them. Simon shook his head.-Simon attended to more patients that day. They discharged Ella from the hospital that same day. Samuel went with Ella on the way home while Seth left. For some reason, no one knows.As Seth sat on the couch, he was staring at Clara, who was also busy staring at Simon while he signed the papers.“Uncle…” he called, still staring at Clara.Simon glanced at him. “Why?”“Aren’t you attracted to your secretary, uncle?” Seth asked.“Why did you ask?” asked Simon, not even looking at Seth.Seth sat in one corner of the table. “Well, it seems she likes you.”Simon looked at Clara from outside his office. Only then did he notice the curtain had split apart. Clara looked away when she saw him looking.“Well, I don’t like her,” said Simon. “She’s too feminine. The woman who can attract my attention is resilient and courageous. Same as your sister, Ella. When a woman is like that, she is definitively stable in this life.”Simon took another look at what was being done. “Why are you still here? You should have come with your father. He needs you?” Simon asked.Staring at Seth, he continued. “You’re bored and here to annoy me, right?”Seth laughed. “How’d you guess that?! Haha! Don’t worry. That’s not my main reason.”“Give me a break, Seth. Today was too much stress for me,” Simon says.Seth set eyes on his uncle for a few minutes before asking again.“Uncle, I have a question for you,” Seth said to change the mood of the conversation.“What?” asked Simon, paying no attention to Seth.“Aren’t you five centuries old?” said Seth.“544 years.” Simon corrected.“Have you ever had any girlfriends?” Seth asked.“None,” Simon said.“Seriously?” Seth sounded more surprised.“Like nothing? Nothing at all? Never?” Seth asked.Simon turned to Seth. “Never, no, not at all. Is there something wrong with that?”Seth’s eyes became bigger. “Uncle, have you ever experienced sex?”“Where did you hear that?” Simon’s eyebrows.“It was only my thought, uncle. In the 500 years of your existence, you have had no experience,” said Seth. “You are still a v-rgin?”“You’re so silly!” Simon said this and hit Seth’s head. All singles are inexperienced. Hang on, are you?”“Uncle, I’m curious,” Seth said proudly.“To whom?” replied Simon with a frown.“To my girlfriend,” said Seth.“Have you got a girl? With your behavior?” said Simon, in shock.Seth scratches his neck. “Uncle, the old style is not cool with today’s generation. Women are most drawn to a bad-boy appearance.”“Seriously? They like street thugs?” asked Simon. “Women’s standard for finding a sensible man has gone down.”Seth smiled naughtily. “Do you want to give it a shot, Uncle?”-“Ahhh!” screamed Ella.She immediately grasped the man’s hand before her and threw it quickly onto the cement. She even put her knee behind it while twisting both hands behind his back. He struggled to get out of her grip.“It’s me, Ella,” said Simon.“Who are you? How did you find your way in?” Ella asked.It was midnight when Ella thought about having cold water in the fridge. When she saw a relaxed guy enter the living room, he wore a t-shirt and had a tattoo on his hand. He’s also got earrings in his ear.“Ella, what happened?” Samuel asked. “You scream like someone has entered the house.”“Dad, there’s a burglar in the house,” said Ella.“What?” Samuel asked, shocked.Samuel instantly switched on the light. And the eyes of Samuel and Ella widened as they recognized him.“Simon?” Uncle?” Samuel and Ella spoke at the same time.“Oh, what happened here?” said Seth. “Ella, what are you doing with Uncle?”Seth’s stomach almost hurts when he laughs. Simon raised his eyebrows and looked at Seth. Simon sat on the couch, with Seth on the other side. Sam and Ella were standing across from Simon.“Uncle, frankly, you don’t seem cool at all. You look more like a criminal.” She bites her cheek inside to avoid laughing.“What were you thinking and agreeing with Seth’s nonsense?” said Samuel.Simon hasn’t answered his question. He just took a deep breath.“And as for you, Seth? You seem like a young, uneducated guy, and you always screw up your Uncle Simon. You have no respect at all,” said Samuel.“This will be the last time you tease Uncle. Once you do it again, I’ll make sure you get locked up, Seth,” said Ella. “I mean that too.”“I have to rest,” said Simon.Simon stood up and went to the second floor of his room. She signed for Seth to apologize to Simon, but Simon was already in his room.Simon walked into the room. He was sitting on his bedroom balcony and looking up at the sky. It was a
They were both out of breath as they emerged from the water. When she recovered, it shocked Simon when she suddenly slapped him. “What the… Why did you slap me?” said Simon in shock, rubbing his cheek. The woman was silent. Instead, she embraced herself. Simon looked at the woman and prepared to undress when she kicked him on the knee. Simon groaned. “Well, why have you hurt me again?” asked Simon with reluctance. “If you plan something evil against me, I can break your bones,” said the woman. “You’re such a violent woman. Didn’t you know how to thank someone? I have helped you,” said Simon. “What have you helped me with? Did I order you?” the woman said rudely. He stared at the woman’s face. “You are going to commit suicide, Mademoiselle,” said Simon. “Suicide? What are you saying? I just slipped and…” said the woman. “Ah, grrr. Why am I explaining this to you? Annoying!” The woman rose and walked while embracing herself. Simon also rose, removed his clothes, and went after t
Luna looked at Simon. Simon noticed this. “You’re staring at me again; you want to strangle me?” Simon asked.Luna averted her eyes from Simon. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with looking at you. Unless, of course, you want me to choke you.” Luna said.Simon laughed. “By the way, the man who shot Ella is already behind bars,” said Luna.Simon frowned. “When was that guy caught? Why are we not informed?”“We told Ella that the shooter had been caught. He got caught in a buy-bust operation. He’s an addict,” said Luna.“I would like to meet this man,” said Simon.“For what? To take revenge?” said Luna.“Yes,” he merely said.“I won’t let you see him,” Luna replied.Their conversation broke down when the server arrived and placed their order. When the food was placed on the table, the waiter left immediately. Luna wasn’t saying anything. The two were quiet. They were almost done eating when Luna spoke again.“Leave me here, Simon, after we eat,” said Luna.Simon frowned. “Why?” He g
Ella was surprised as they walked into the house. She was sitting on the couch while she was busy with her laptop. She was still surprised to see Luna; she and Seth were handcuffed.“Luna?” She asked with a frown.Ella immediately reached out to her brother and hit him. “Why do you habitually beat me?” complains Seth.“And you complain again? What did you do this time? Why are you handcuffed?” Ella asked with irritability.“I used this sergeant to hook him up earlier,” Luna said, taking off Seth’s handcuffs.“Why the hell are you acting like this? What’s wrong with you?” asked Ella.Luna has distanced herself from both. Simon pulled Luna onto the couch for a seat. They watched the siblings.“I can’t accept that Dad is gone. Why is it so easy for you to forget him?” Seth got mad. “Daddy doesn’t mean anything to you.”“Enough of judging me, Seth. You have no clue how I feel. If the loss of Dad hurts you, I’m hurt too. What would you have me do? Do the things you do.” Ella said. “Become w
Simon didn’t go to the hospital; he had to visit the company, so he went there. Everybody was surprised at his sudden stop, but the employees welcomed him immediately. The local workers knew him as Samuel’s brother. In Samuel’s office, Secretary Ann was astonished to see him. She smiled gently as she walked beside him in Samuel’s office.“Coffee, sir?” asked the secretary.He merely looked at the woman and the table where Samuel was seated.“Yes, please. Thanks,” says Simon.Secretary Anne went outside while he was walking around the room. Samuel’s memories are still there. He got close to the window. He took the curtain off a bit to see the whole city. There’s still a pain in his chest. He approached Samuel’s desk, touching the backrest of the swivel chair as he looked into the room from there. Samuel’s room has a mini lounge, where he welcomes essential company guests when there are few. He sat on the swivel chair and made some movements. He chuckled a bit to speed up the rotation of
Simon came home late. He’s done a lot of work in the business Samuel left behind. He was exhausted. He immediately went directly to the kitchen to get water. When he saw Ella, he immediately came close to her. He laid his hand on his niece’s shoulder and kissed her head, then went straight to the refrigerator and got some water.“I was worried about you earlier; this criminal seems crazy,” said Simon, pouring water into the glass. “And your friend—I don’t know whether she’s as mad as that criminal.”When Simon closed the fridge, he drank water right away. He was surprised as the light went on. From behind, Ella spoke.“Why are you holding on in the dark? There’s a light.” Ella went into the fridge. “Hi, uncle. Why are you late?”Simon frowned and turned toward the left. Luna was there, eyebrows up, looking at him.“Eeew, uncle!” Ella yelledSimon spilled his water on Ella when he saw Luna. “You are here!” Simon was shocked.“Yes, I’ve heard everything you’ve said. You even kissed me on
While the cops are breaking into the warehouse, Simon is out of it. He noticed that Luna never came into the warehouse. He went after the woman.Next to the big warehouse is an alley that people can walk through. He saw Luna go in there, so he went in there, too, and followed her. Coming out of the alley, which is seven meters long, there’s a road; Simon can’t tell if it’s a road because he doesn’t notice any passing vehicles. He saw Luna right behind a parked car. He walked right up to her.Luna pointed the gun at Simon’s head when she sensed someone approaching her. Her eyes expanded just as she recognized Simon. She hid the weapon at once.“What are you doing here?” Luna said this with shock.“I followed you, of course,” replied Simon.Luna immediately grabbed him by the shoulder and forced him into hiding. “What are you doing in this place? Your comrades are in the warehouse.” Simon asked.“Rafaelo is here. I saw him walk into that alley earlier. He likely knew that the police had
“So, you mean you’re immortal as well?” Luna asked in shock. They were on their way home at that moment. Ella was also in her uncle’s car on the way back, so they were three in his car. Ella and Simon tell Luna about Simon’s “immortality.” But as expected, she was a little surprised, although Luna had seen everything that had happened there. “If that’s what they call me, I’m probably immortal,” said Simon. “He can heal quickly, Luna, so no matter what weapon you use on Uncle, he won’t die, even the poison,” said Ella. “What weakness do you have?” asked Luna. Their car stopped because of a traffic signal. Simon looked toward Luna. “If you think this criminal’s weakness might be the same as mine, it’s impossible,” says Simon. “Why impossible? You two are immortal,” said Luna. “Luna, the uncle, has killed himself several times, but as I said, he never dies. No weapon can make him weak. I can assure you,” said Ella. Luna frowned. “How can you say so? What is your weakness, Simon?”
