The seconds ticked by as beads of sweat covered his forehead. Lee Ngoh stared into emptiness, losing hope in love.
*********
Claire lost her patience. She held the silver knife harder, unaware it was already cutting her flesh. The determination in her eyes showed anguish, hatred and animosity. She charged. Claire knocked Lee Ngoh down who was still in a daze. The sharp knife cut through his flesh, opening a path for warm vermilion liquid which gushed out. Lee Ngoh moaned, throwing back his head, tears running uncontrollably down his face. He saw a glimpse of light, a glimpse of Heaven, and nothing. A big black hole into nothingness.
'Lee Ngoh, Lee Ngoh, bro please!'
Lee Ngoh opened his eyes to see his sister Wei Seen with a very angry expression on her face.
' This has to be the most embarrassing day of my life!' Wei Seen frowned like a ninety year old old lady. Lee Ngoh first felt the moisture then saw what he had caused.
' How can a 30 year old man wet his pants? This is unbelievable. You are unbelievable!' Wei Seen commented. ' The nurses had a good laugh!' Prior to that, Lee Ngoh heard giggling at the back. ' Now that you are awake, the police wants you to start counting bars. Kidding, give your testimony.'
Lee Ngoh never thought recalling memories could be this painful. He felt excruciating pain in his chest where it had nothing to do with his wounds. It had to be his heart.
'I wanted to know why she did something like that to me. First, I was confused. I wanted her to tell me it was all my sister's fault. Of course, the fault was hers. She was angry, said I was disturbing her wedding. She tried to stab me with this really tiny knife. I fought back. And it happened quickly. I stabbed her. She was bleeding and cursing and I panicked. I untied my sister and we tried to get her medical help. And she just disappeared from the spot I left her. We ran out of the mansion to look for her. I called the police and fainted when someone hit me real hard on the head. My sister blacked out too. And I'm here now. '
*******
She was hiding under the stairs, thinking we, no I wouldn't find her. I saw her but kept it a secret. When we were outside and Ngoh said he would call the police, I knew I had little time. I hit my brother's head with a rock before running back to the mansion. I told her I wanted to live with only her. Dying together was such a beautiful opinion. We reached the top floor and promised to jump down together. After the count of three, she jumped alone because jumping with her was never my intention. Now that she is dead, no one would never know our affair together, how I used her to get money, and how she threatened me when I spurned her after getting tired of her. I'm burning the diary I wrote about how I stalked and killed her, so no one would ever know my secret. Right?
THE END
