I held her hand and looked into her eyes. It wasn’t a bit different from five years ago when she was a blind girl.
She snatched away her have from me making me look at her shocked.
“Sarah…it’s me…”
“You who? Are you insane? How dare you walk up to me and remove my wig?” I heard her ask.
I was shocked beyond words. Her change of attitude only made me sick immediately. She had changed so much!
The Sarah I knew back then would never raise her voice on someone… She would never frown at someone or be so mean.
Is this really the sweet blind Sarah standing in front of me?
She collected her wig from my hand and looked at me. “Who are you?” She asked again.
I was stabbed in the chest with pain. Couldn’t Sarah recognize my voice?
Even if she was yet to see my face before now, couldn’t she at least recognize the familiarity?
“I’m sorry I barged into you.” I said softly and she nodded.
” You called me SARAH. How did you know my name? Are you a stalker?” She asked.
I smiled slightly and watched her. Sarah.
The girl I’ve had to think of all my life. The girl that almost made me lose my mind.
I want her to recognize me herself. I want her to know it’s me but how do I do that?
“Mister,I asked you how you knew my name?” Her sweet voice sounded again.
“Someone told me. ” I teased.
She arched her eye brows, glaring at me. Suddenly, she looked scared. “Someone? Oh no… Don’t tell me that btch got caught and send you after me? ” She asked.
I frowned. What’s she talking about? ” No…. Nothing like that.” I replied, dying to hug her again.
I remembered our first kss that night and unconsciously stared at her lips.
What is Sarah doing here in Singapore anyways? I knew Sarah wasn’t dear but somewhere.
I’m gonna find out. Now that I’ve seen her…. I’m never gonna let her off my view!
“I gat to go.” She said and breezed off.
I looked down at the table and saw her cellphone.
She must have forgotten it here. I picked it up and smiled.
Just the perfect excuse I need to go after her.
? SARAH ?
I went to the receptionist and payed for a room. I will have to stay in the hotel for sometime to know what to do with myself.
I had a long bath and put on the white over all in my bag.
I lay flat on the bed and placed my hand on my chest and inhaled deeply.
His voice sounded so familiar. And I felt so comfortable talking to him.
Who is he?
And who told him my name?
Hope it isn’t what I’m thinking…
Then I noticed my cellphone wasn’t with me. I stood up, frantically searching for it.
I went back into the bathroom to search for it but couldn’t find it.
I searched around the room. It was pratically no where to be seen.
Where the heck did I left it??
? VICKER ?
I walked into the reception and showed the receptionist the picture on the phone screen.
“I’m looking for her. She forgot this.” I said as the receptionist took up the telephone.
She dialled a number but it seemed the person she was calling wasn’t picking up. “Room 13 isn’t picking up. She’s up in room 13.” The receptionist told me looking sweetly at me.
I smiled back. “Thanks. There is no need to call her.” I said and hurried up the stairs. I traced room 13 and finally got in front of the door.
I raised my hand and knocked softly.
Almost immediately,the door opened revealing someone looking so s*xy in a white robe.
I couldn’t bear it any longer. I have to tell her who I am! I just have to.
Unconsciously I entered the room and hugged her so tightly. “Sarah….. I’ve missed you so much. I can no longer pretend…. Please remember me. ”
? SARAH ?
I was so shocked to the bone yet again as he hugged me tightly to himself… Telling me he missed me.
When we disengaged, I stood still looking at him.
“Sarah,I’m sorry I left without telling you. I had to leave….I left when you were blind.
You didn’t get to see me before I left and I understand that you don’t recognize me.
It’s me Vicker….it’s me Sarah.”He said and I gasped as emotions bursted out of him through my voice.
? VICKER ?
Sarah’s eyes widened. Her hands shook terribly as she dropped them from mine.
She moved back….. and shook her head.
“What’s wrong Sarah…. It’s me.” I saix desperately with pain when I saw the doubt in her eyes.
? SARAH ?
“Vic… Vicker? I gasped and almost collapsed.
This handsome man is Vicker? My very own Vicker?
His voice sounded so familiar. No wonder.
I looked all over at him as tears gathered in my eyes. They came down in a rush a d I watched him wipe away my tears with pure love.
“No Vicker…” I was sobbing now.
I can’t let this happen. I can’t let this feeling come back.
I’m no longer the Sarah he used to know.
“You’re saying no to me Sarah? What happened? Sarah… Please look at me.
It’s me Vicker…you should be happy. You should at least give me a hug.
I’ve missed you like h*ell! Please just look at me!! ” Vicker yelled at me.
Slowly I looked into his eyes fiercely.” I’m sorry Vicker but I can’t look at you anymore.
I don’t deserve someone like you. I’m bad and evil now…. I’m no longer the blind girl you used to know.
The Sarah you are seeing now is no longer the blind Sarah you knew but in front of you right now is an a$$assin who wants revenge on your mother.” I said with my voice sounding so angry.
Vicker’s face twitched into confusion as he stared into my eyes. “Wh… What? Revenge on my mom? How? What are you talking about! ”
