Chapter 3: Mr. Salazar part 2

“Mr. Salazar.” He looked at me and showed me a small smile. I smiled back.

“Do you want me to narrate the story again?” He said, jokingly. Can`t blame him tho. Well, this happens a lot, that`s why. He have that stoic face while saying that. If you don`t know him, you`d probably think that he is mad or weird. Imagine, a person joked to you but his face is stoic. Wews.

“Yes, please.” He a smiled a little.

He is a business man, 54 years old. He always wear a suit but now, he wears that dirty colored orange clothes. It doesn`t suit him at all. The only thing stayed with must be his stoic expression and that d*rn arrogant aurora of him.

One of the reason why, when people find out about him, murdering his maid and abusing her, they bash him nonstop and his haters appeared. His business is the verged of bankrupt, but Segundina said she will handle it. For unknown reason he new them. Segundina beg for him too!

One of the reason why I keep asking him to tell me the story is maybe he forgot something to tell me. Especially that his getting old and he is very emotional right now. It might affect his memories and forget the most important part. This always happens, that`s why I always tell my clients to repeat their stories every time we meet.

“It all started when, Aye accidentally broke my favorite vase. It`s normal to got mad at her, but I’m furious that day because one of my business partner broke the agreement, so my anger is not usual.” That is confirmed already.

“And that day is Saturday, so tomorrow is their day off. They all went home except Aye, so we are alone in the house. I`m at my study room when I heard from downstairs a loud sound, like glass got broke. I bring my knife, thinking that I`m alone at my house and theirs a thief who entered my house. But to my shock, I found Aye`s body full of blood and not breathing. I was so shock that I can`t move, I also drop my knife,aye's blood is drawn up to me. I`ve only got by senses back when, Jefferson, my gardener, shouted and accused me for being murderer.”

The knife only has his fingerprints and Aye. Indicating that Aye fight back, so why she didn`t shout? Weird right? She can shout and ask for help, but she didn`t. She knows that Mr. Salazar and Jefferson is around but she stayed quiet.

Jefferson told that, they planned to go home together that night and she just have to wait for him finished watering the plants. Because he went somewhere the whole day and he only have a time at the evening. He and Aye is friends and they are neighbors, so Jefferson reaction is understandable. But the question is, did he not notice that someone sneaked in or heard a voice at all? It happened near the main door after all and the garden is d*mn near at the door!

It is also confirmed that he went somewhere, which is at the Loqui`s restaurant. He met with his secret lover, the investigator said. And here I am thinking that he have relationship with Aye. And the girl was the one who killed Aye, or she hired a hit man to kill her and Jefferson knows and act like he didn`t know. Why would they do that? So that they can be together and Aye knows about that affair and she love Jefferson so much so she let him or she killed her. Which made me lead me to a conclusion that it`s either the secret lover or Jefferson killed her.

Maybe she fight back at first cause the murderer is wearing a mask and she can`t recognized who was that.

But those conclusions is useless because Aye left a code that only she can understand. I`m into codes but I can`t figure it out.

Jefferson was the one who gave me that, he said it out of guilt. Maybe his guilty that he accused Mr. Salazar or his guilty for killing Aye. Well, his cleared but when it comes to killing, no one is exempted even you put that goody shoes. Everyone can kill. Even a baby can.

He also helps me enter the house at night.

After talking with Mr. Salazar, I went at the closest café.

I went to the nearest sit I could see and called the waiter to order.

“I want one cappuccino and two rainbow cake.” He wrote it and nodded before leaving.

I`ll meet my next client here.

He is also accused of killing, for killing his son.

They had a huge fight and after that his son was found dead in his room.

His wife was on vacation, and base to her wife they always fight. But their fight that day is different and more serious. Before her son died, they talked.

But the problem is none of them would tell me what did they fought about!

That`s why I could him annoying!

But most of my client who act like that is protecting someone. But who the hell he would protect?! Her wife is on vacation, and they don`t any relatives that lives near them! Is he having an affair and his son witness it, and he threatened his father so he end up killing his son? So her mother hide it in embarrassment and to protect his husband because she loves him so much?

If that`s the case, this is just stupid!

Their son is pitiful.

I was interrupted when someone sit in front of me!

“Excuse me?” He didn`t look at me, instead he gesture his hands towards the coat besides him! Why the h*ck I didn`t notice that?! I thought this is for two sitters!

It has a two small chair! What the h*ck?!

“Oh my gosh! I`m sorry, I didn`t notice it!” I said and start to pick my things! This is embarrassing! I was so rude to him, thinking that he want to take over my table!

That coat is familiar! I look at him, his wearing a hoodie underneath that hoodie a black suit! Oh gosh! Is he? No way!

“Hey, are you-? I was cut off when the waiter interrupt!

“Hi ma`am, sir! Here is your order! Two cappuccino and four rainbow cake!” He said and put the cappuccino near me together with the two cakes! While the other cappuccino`s and cakes was near him! I blink, and blink, then blink again! Is this a coincidence?! We ordered the exact same thing!

The waiter looked at us with a teasing stares! “Wow! You ordered exact same thing! Even though you didn`t come together, you must know each other very well. Enjoy eating!” He said. He smiled to us before leaving. WHAT? THE? HECK?

I was about to talk to him again when he stand up and went to the counter. Ok?

He ordered a waiter to come in the table and pack his food. Oh? His leaving? He probably hate the idea that he`ll eat with me! What a jerk!

I didn`t notice I was starring too much not until he looked back! I quickly avoided my stares and pretend that I`m

eating. When I notice that he left I sighed in relief.

I was busy eating when the waiter came back with a strawberry cheese cake and a marigold with him.

He smiled at me and said “Ma`am you are so lucky! Don`t let him go any more!” I ignored him so he left.

I look at the flowers and I can`t help it but to remember him.

While looking at the flowers I notice a small paper. I pick it up and read it.

Just eat. Don`t think of anything.

P.S

- I don`t mind eating with you.
