A Causa Di Vi

“You’re evil.” She said while staring at me. “It’s hot.” She added.  
I sighed heavily, as if annoyed. I’m not in the mood to talk with her. She always had the guts to follow wherever I was. I didn’t reply and just walked away, left her behind. I continued walking near the sea, enjoying the sea breeze, enjoying the beautiful environment. I always love this kind of place, makes my whole system calm.
I don’t want someone to bish my mood, so I decided to go here and spent my time watching the waves of the sea.  
“I’ve been watching you from there,” She pointed to the hut not too far from my seat.   “Since you came.”  
I turned my back when someone spoke. An unfamiliar woman was behind me. I remained silent, still staring at her. I returned my gaze to the sea after staring at her face for more than five seconds.  
“Can I sit beside you?” She asked. I nodded.  
None of us dared to speak. I don’t know if she’s just shy to speak or she just really doesn’t want to speak. I just let the silence happen between the two of us. It always came up on my mind that waves are whiffsy, never ending, similar to clouds.
“Looks like I’m the only one who can see you.” She said.
“They can see me of course. They just don’t appreciate my existence so they act like they cannot see me when in fact they really can.” I answered briefly. I can feel that she’s looking at me.  
“Do you feel scrotty?”
“I feel nothing.” I sigh.  
“Is it possible to feel nothing? I'm biffsquiggled about that.” She took a stone and threw it into the sea. She did that for nine times. On the tenth time she held a stone to be thrown into the sea, she looked at me.  
“Want to try?” I nodded. She gave me stones. I stood beside her, facing the sea. I looked at the stone in my palm, I stared at it for a second. I let out a deep sigh before I threw the stone into the sea. I put all my energy into throwing that stone.  
On the first throw, I felt satisfied. By just throwing that one stone, it feels like I decreased some of my negative thoughts. I repeated it for more than ten times and I must say it feels better.  
“You are running out of stones. Do you want me to get stones for you?” I looked at her. We stared at each other. Her eyes were like the ocean, drowning me. I can’t help but to stare at it. Her blue eyes make me feel like she knows everything about me, even my deepest secrets, as if she were reading my soul. I cough softly before I turned my gaze away from her.  
She nodded slowly before walking away to get the stones. I sit on the sand again. Knees raised and the chin rests on the knee. I looked up at the sky. I was softly touched by the sunlight that hit my eyes.  
“I put the stones in it.” She pointed to the plastic bag she was holding. “Here, take it.” She handed me the plastic bag. I didn't even notice that she was coming back. She suddenly came back out of nowhere, like a mushroom.
I stood up and started throwing stones into the sea again. As it lasts, my arms get heavier until I could feel no more. I was about to throw when she held my arm.  
“What?” I asked, the forehead is wrinkled.  
“Enough. You're wasting your energy.” She said, still holding my arm.  
“I’m enjoying it.” I said without giving an emotion.
We both sighed. Slowly, I laid the rock in the sand. She slowly lowered my arm. She tapped my shoulder three times. She hugged me and I felt shiver down to my spine. I didn’t move right away.
“Why are you hugging me?” I asked.  
“Just wondering what’s your smell.” Then she stopped from hugging me. “Calvin Klein’s perfume? Nice choice.” She smiled.  
I looked at the watch I was wearing. It’s already four o’clock in the afternoon and the sun has set.  
As the sun goes down, the color of the cloud changes. From the blue sky it became a pale tint of orange until the sky finally darkened. The breeze was cold and the waves were strong. I hugged myself in the middle of meditation. The unfamiliar woman sitting next to me, cleared her throat.  
“You might have plans to go home tonight because it's late. It's already seven o’clock in the evening.” She said while looking at me.  
“This is my home.” I say and release a strained smile. I saw panic in her eyes. As if saying she couldn't believe it.  
“You’re a fisher?” I shook my head. “What are you, then?”
“The heir to this resort.”  
Her eyes widened after hearing those words coming from me.  
“Really?” She asked with a surprised look. I nodded. “Wow. No offense but you don’t seem to be an heir. I mean, you look like you own a business or company.”
“You mean, a CEO?” She nodded. “I think we should go back.” I said.  
I stood up, removing sand from clothing. I offered her my hand to help her stand. She took my hand and stood up straight away.  
We take different paths. I got home at about ten o'clock at night. Cold air met me when I opened the door. Darkness envelops the house. I stepped in and pressed the light switch on the wall. The glare of light shone in my eyes. As I walk up the stairs, Sadie showed up, wearing a lingerie dress.  
“You’re evil and it’s hot.” She said again for the second time and she started walking towards me. Our gaze was not broken until she gets closer to me. Using her index finger, she rubbed my cheek.  
“Poor.” She said.  
“Stop following me, Sadie.”  
“I’m not following you. You are following me.” She answered.  
“This is my house.” I said.  
“Nah-uh. This house is mine.”  
“Are you mocking me?”
“No.” She said with her artistic voice. I was irritated. I just went up to my bedroom so I wouldn't hurt her.  
I dropped my body down on the bed, facing the ceiling. I dispunge this kind of feeling. I dispunge Sadie.  
I didn't realize I was asleep. I just woke up when I could feel the warmth of the sunlight hitting my face. The window curtain is open, allowing light to enter the room.  
“Goodmorning you little dimwit.” I look at my side. I saw Sadie standing near the door while holding a breakfast table. She approached me. She laid the breakfast table on the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed.
 “Eat.”  
I did not speak and ate only the breakfast she had prepared. The bacon, egg and cheese sandwich she prepared is scrumptious-galumptious, so flavory-savory that it makes me all just think about it.  
Sadie’s just watching me to eat the foods she prepared for me. I was uncomfortable. After I ate, I got up and went to the bathroom. I fixed myself for more than one hour. I left the room and went down to go to the kitchen. I saw Sadie holding a bread knife, slicing the bread. Slow and careful.  
“Are you leaving?” She asked. She put the knife next to her and she looked at me. I nodded. “Where are you going?” She continued.  
“Near the sea.” I answered. She just nodded and continued to cut the bread again.  
When I came near the sea, I met the woman with me again yesterday. She was just sitting on the sand with her cross legs.  
“Hi.” I greeted her. She was shocked to see me.  
“Hello, Good morning!” She greeted back. Her smile is as beautiful as the flowers in a garden. Her smile seemed to light up in a dark environment. “Is it okay for you to join me for a swim? Just for a mintic.”
I said yes to her. I watched her undress. She’s wearing a bikini that suits for her body. I just removed the shirt I was wearing instead of the shorts.  
“You won’t strip your shorts?” I shook my head. “I see. Anyway, you have a nice body. I love it.” She winked at me.  
We started to swim in the relatively deep part of the sea. I'm just following her. In the middle of the swim, I was stopped. A turtle caught my attention. I watched it how to swim. It’s cute.  
I went up and returned to the cliff. The unfamiliar girl gave me a towel.  
“Thank you.” I said. She just smiled at me.  
I sat down on a big rock near the sea shore while washing my wet hair with a towel. My eyes widened as I felt something hit my head. I gradually felt my body fall into the sand. I could not move nor could I speak. I feel like my whole body is numb.  
As I lay in the sand, I saw two pairs of feet approaching me. I can't see the face because I'm just looking at the feet, I can't move my body. I'm having a hard time to breath. My eyes gradually darkened. I wanted to seek and shout for help but my body can’t.  
I feel like I'm paralyzed.
I felt like someone was combing my hair. I felt pain as someone pulled it up. I was in pain. I slowly opened my eyes. She was smiling from ear to ear. She rubbed my cheek by using her index finger.  
“How does it feel? Hmm?” The unfamiliar woman asked me.  
I could not speak. I tried to move but my body really can’t.  
I felt the pain again when she hit me. My eyes gradually darkened. I hear a shout but I can't hear what they are shouting.  
I felt something cold touch my skin. It's a knife. When I grabbed it, I held it tight, I forced myself to stand even when I was dizzy. I felt like walking into two women lying on the sand and bloody both. I couldn't see the faces of them both.  
I stabbed the woman to my left first and then to my right. I could feel my body fall slowly beside them.  
“She’s awake! She’s awake!”  
“Call the doctors!”  
I growled softly. I first saw the light when I looked up. My vision gradually adjusted until it returned to normal. I felt a flashlight focus on my eyes.  
“Check her vitals.”
“Normal.”  
I can see how many people are around me. Doctors and nurses are checking on me. They keep on asking me how I feel.  
I roamed my eyes in the room. Obviously, I’m in the hospital. I saw my parents, my relatives are looking at me worriedly.  
“How do you feel now, Fauna?” The doctor asked me.  
“I’m good.” I answered.  
“Don't you wonder why you were here and what happened to you?”  
“No. I’m aware of what happened to me.” I said. “I was about to die and died last night by an unknown woman. Fortunately, Sadie saved me. Where is she by the way?” I heard them breathe. They avoid looking at me.  
“That incident happened 5 years ago. You were comatose for 5 years, Fauna.”  
I couldn't believe what he said. I looked at them one by one and almost all of them avoided looking except for the doctor who told me.  
“H-how about Sadie..?” I hesitate to ask.  
“She had been dead for five years.”  
“H-huh? H-how..?”
“You killed her.”
