Her legs are shaken, trembling as if she's been locked up in an ice room.She steps back, wondering what she had done wrong to make Neon, who's always kind to her, staring at her with so much anger.Neon walks closely, while she steps back out of fear for her dear life, she dares not anger him while she wonders how to calm him."How dare you…" He murmurs under his breath."Who gave you permission to enter my room?" Finally, it dawns on her what she's done wrong. She was never his wife in the first place, and the man right in front of her is a man who's madly in love with his wife. The pictures around the room say it all. "I…. I didn't mean to, I swear.""Then what were you doing there?""I just wanted to do some cleaning, that was it." Of course, Neon can see how badly she trembles. The woman who dared to hold a knife against him a few minutes ago was gone, and before him is but a weak woman. His anger quells before his rage could explode, he takes a deep breath, "Ha!" And calm
Old and grey are her hair, her teeth losing a few neighbours, with wrinkles in her face. Neon stares at her confusingly and behind him to confirm if she's talking to him.In the end, he only ends up looking like an idiot as the old lady just stands there staring at him with a smile on her face. He breathes out and his shoulders slump as he smiles, he couldn't be rude to an elderly lady. "I am.""Why ish thab (why's that)?" Her missing teeth don't let her speak properly as air escapes from her gaps, carrying her words with it. "Because that woman over there." His fingers direct to the corner where Drusilla sits alone, waving back at him right after their eyes meet. "That woman over there's about to face the most difficult heartbreak of her life, she's going to get home, and finds that her husband's married to another woman.""Well I shebe jamned (I'll be damned.) You shucarde shoe be hurt? (You're scared she'll be hurt)?""It seems so.""Shen allowsh her two sbe hurt, but jont lec
All through their return, their journey is filled with nothing but silence. Drusilla's fighting spirit dies the moment her memories return and she holes up into a corner as she looks out the window.From when he returns the car to its owner, to their flight trip, and the drive back to Neon's house, it's nothing but silence. Neon couldn't help but feel responsible because he has a hand to play in this. "I should have told her the truth." He curses himself out of guilt. When they arrive home, like a gentleman, he hurries over to open the door, but Drusilla beats him to it as she drags herself in. Just as she's about to go in, she pauses, raises her head and looks at the magnificent building before her. "I don't belong here." She mumbles, just loud enough for Neon to hear."You can say that, but who I welcome into my house is not your choice, but mine." He answers.Before she knows it, he's taken her hand and pulls her in. "Make yourself comfortable, this is your home now." He say
"I understand." Neon takes her hands to stop her from wiping her tears, revealing tears on her face. The embarrassed woman looks away as she starts sniffling once again. "No, you don't, I have a son and he's still with his father." "Please stay calm, I'll do what I can to help you."Before Neon could explain himself, he finds himself being pulled by the collar as Drusilla closes the gap between them.Her head tilts to the side as she widely opens one eye. "Did you say you can do something?""Yes." He says, with caution, as he proceeds to remove her hands from his shirt. "I can help you."Those words relay differently to Drusilla, echoing inside her head as it interprets into many meanings."How?" She asks. "It's simple, all you have to do is help me, to help you, to help us."Her brows furrow with irritation as his words are complicated, she chants his words in her head, trying to unravel the meaning of his words as she divides them into bits, at the end, she ends up shaking he
"Mrs Neon, I didn't think I'd see you here." Ethan cheerfully greets her. Maura drawing near nods her head as she looks around, observing the wonderful works ongoing."Oh, well, I had to ask my husband for permission, I mean I wanted to be useful and try to regain some memories.I'm sorry if I took over your project," She says. Ethan chuckles as he brushes the back of his head, "please, allow me to guide you." A smile grows on one part of her lip as she follows him inside. She watches Ethan from behind, and thoughts of doing something crazy flood her head. If it were only the both of them alone, Maura pictures herself holding a knife, sneaking close to Ethan as he looks forward. Just as she's in close range, she'll lift her hand and dive towards Ethan with a loud yell as she stabs the knife straight into Ethan. "Ma'am…."She hears the sound of finger snaps before her face."Huh." Maura flinches as she regains herself. "We're here." "Oh wow, it's beautiful," Maura yells, only
"Come in." Neon answers from inside. "I brought tea."With his head, he points towards his cabinet so she can drop the tea. Although he just arrived, his bed has already become a pool of papers. Nervously she looks around, her hands are sweaty as she opens her mouth and closes it, watching if Neon saw."You never told me what happened to Maura," she says.Neon Freezes mid-air, almost like he suddenly stopped functioning. "I still don't know how you are acquainted with my wife," Neon says, resuming his work. "Maura and I met several years ago when I went on a vacation. We grew close and befriended each other for three weeks." She tells him with a sad expression."You said 'for'..." slowly, Neon turns around, his ears perking as he catches her words. "The Maura I know won't easily let go of the people she calls friends." "I don't know, I got back home and tried calling but her line was unreachable." "I see, Maura went somewhere far away, we separated and she won't be coming back
Thanks to Neon's words, Drusilla finds it difficult to fall asleep yet again. She stays up awake all night long and thinks hard about his proposal, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, besides, she has plans, great plans for that land. Before she knows it, it's 2 am.Her eyes are swollen inside, and she looks haggard and awful. "Just for a little while." She says to herself so she can get a shut-eye. But her tiredness catches up to her faster than she can dream of and a little while, turns into hours. Thud!A strong kick to her foot gets Drusilla jumping from the sofa on which she sleeps. "What the hell are you still doing, sleeping by this time?" An angry Neon asks. Confused, and unable to understand what's going on, she takes a careful look at the things around her. Her eyes automatically become a scanner and she carefully examines what's wrong with her getting a shut-eye.The shoe's on the floor….Papers lying around….The sun is up…..It hits her at once, and h
For a while, the earth stands still as they digest the tone of the single word she uttered.Her face, like a dog ready to pounce, worries the couple. "...." They stare at her, waiting to find out who'll break the thin ice of awkwardness. Suddenly, Neon steps forward with a nervous laugh, overshadowing Drusilla as he covers their view, redirecting their gazes towards him. "Haha, forgive my wife, she's a bit sensitive to family issues, I mean we wouldn't want such a thing for our families right."Within the seconds that he manages to avert their gaze, he holds Drusilla by her shoulder and shakes her to awaken her senses. "Oh… well that's understandable." Sharon declares as she steals a glance from George, who stands guard."If there's anything we can do to help, then please, let us know, my wife and I will be more than willing to help," Neon says and he hands over his card.George, although unhappy about taking help from others, reluctantly accepts Neon's business card with his head
