50 - Recognized

His eyes widened, and he reached for the sniper trigger. He aim the Doctor's heart, and no one, not even Blessy, could stop him. He mentally counted slowly and exclaimed, "Gotcha!"

A resounding yell could be heard all around.

"Damn!"

Ramona's bright smile met Zerus gaze. She was two meter away from him and, like him, she was carrying a powerful type of sniper. As he looked at her, the spark in his eyes glowed with rage.

"What the fuck did you do, Ramona?"

"Your hesitancy, bro, can kill you. Tsk!"

“Bullshit! Don't get in my way! He is mine to kill!" he almost yell angrily.

Sh just laughed, obviously ecstatic about what he had said. "Yes, and, oh! I did not murder him. He wasn't hit, or, as I like to say, my pet didn't hit him. Because you know who was struck?"

His suddenly curse the wind. He looked out thru the sniper as quickly as lightning and recognized Hayes carry the woman he adored. It's like the sun had engulfed him in what he had seen.

"Didn't I warn you?" She laughed.

"Ramona!"

When he saw her, he grinned furiously and struck her against the glass wall. His neck tendon had ruptured, and he was so disgusted that he strangled Ramona to die!

"I'll kill you up, wench. I'm going to kill you!"

Despite his firm grip on Ramona's neck, she managed to smile. Her hand slowly rose and pointed to his chest. "That heart will betray you."

He abruptly let Ramona go. Controling himself not to kill his sister! He tugged his hair and his eyes glowed. "Leave!"

She only looked at him for a few seconds before saying, "Happy condolence."

The woman vanished in front of his eyes. He clenched his fist and made the decision to leave the area. He had to go to Blessy even though Hayes was nearby.

What the hell did you do, Ramona? I swear I'll slit your throat! Please pray that Blessy is still alive...





When Zerus realized Blessy's right shoulder was shot, he took a deep breath. He sent a man to see the woman, and his heart almost stopped pounding. He was on a building's rooftop, facing the woman's room, and he freely watched her sleep through the binoculars he was carrying.

He set aside the plan to depose Dr. Hayes first. Ramona is the first one he'll encounter, and Zerus knows exactly where to find her.

"The premises have been secured. Mr. Craige, you'll have a difficult time getting in. Every patient room has facial recognition technology. Dr. Hayes is doubling the building's security. Every corridor has CCTVs, and they are not ordinary CCTVs.”

In response to the man who reported to him today, he simply laughef. It's on the other end of the line, and its also a Doctor.

"Is she completely fine? Make certain that my pyscho sister cannot enter her room. "

"Noted."

He quickly removed the binoculars and placed them in the pocket of his jacket, which folded up and became the size of a small billiard ball.

He wondered how he could get around the hospital's security and see the woman in person; his mind won't stop working until he see her.

He is Zerus and nothing could stop him, he is the mess and twist in Hayes current situation. Yes, he could not enter the firewall that Hayes had set up in the database of every person who entered the Hospital, but he was able to sneak in.

He immediately went to Hayes Group of Hospital. He didn't go through the entrance because he didn't need it. His plan took him through the back, where he began to wreak havoc. From the back of the Hospital, which was a little dark, he could quickly sneak in there because he can climb such a building without difficulty.

He is fully equipped, from the various gadgets he can use on his target to the shoes and gloves he would use for climbing effortlessly. He was wearing improvised gecko shoes and gloves, and he climbed such a building with ease.

No one noticed his agile demeanor, which made Zerus please, because the woman he was looking for was just lying in the hospital bed.

He'll just do it quickly; he'll go see the woman and then leave; he just wanted to make sure that what Blessy got from Ramona was truly far from her heart.

"She is... Stunning." When she raised the room's glass window, he was stunned for a moment.

Zerus just stared at the woman who was asleep, and his gaze landed on her shoulder, which caused his heart to ache when he noticed an arm sling hanging from her.

He entered the room like a gust of wind, and there was no CCTV in the room. Blessy was alone in bed, and she could see pain and sadness in her beautiful and innocent face.

As he approached, he gently murmured in his mind, "What makes you sad, Blessy?"

The woman is wearing a black veil and a ring on her hand, indicating that she will soon become a full-fledged nun, but Zerus thought that the ring he'll gave her would be more appropriate to wear on her hand when they were at the altar.

Damn! What am I thinking? She's a nun, and I'm a... criminal. He thought, dismissing the irrational feelings he was experiencing.

Zerus just fit to stare at Blessy, who was sound asleep, his fist clenched slightly, and he mentally exclaimed, He'll kill, Ramona! But there is a part of his mind that is relieved that Ramona did not shoot the heart of the woman he loves.

"F-fender..."

His brow furrowed as the woman called his name, her eyes are close.

"Please do not leave... Don't go with them!F-fender... I'm terrified..."

I'm here, Blessy... He wanted to say those words, but he insisted, 'don't do it,' and he just stood there staring at the woman.

"No, Fender!"

Nightmare. Zerus debated whether or not to wake her up. If he'll wakes her up and sees him, she will wonder, how and why he is in her room.

"D-don't! Please, Fender... Don't go with them... Don't leave me... P-please, don't!" tears welled up in Blessy's beautiful eyes, and he could hear the pain in her voice.

He was affected, and his brain was debating whether to hug her or not. There was such a strong fist that punched his heart that he couldn't bear to look at her innocent face.

"Fender… promise... You'll contact me again..."

Blessy...

Zerus backed away and shook his head a few times, wondering why he was affected by the words that came out of the woman's mouth. He shook and took a deep breath before leaving her room, but before that, he approach her again and gently kissed the woman's forehead.

"Goodnight..." But when he left his room, it was as if his heart had been stabbed; he doesn't want to leave, but he can't stay long.





WHEN Zerus was in his new car, he couldn't be bothered because the words Blessy spoke repeatedly echoed in his head; he knew it was just a nightmare, but the nightmare was connected to past events, real things that happened to someone.

He stared at his own reflection in the rearview mirror for a long time, wondering, "Who am I really? Has I've forgotten any part of my life?" But if Zerus is to be questioned, he has forgotten nothing. He remembers every second since he awoke to the bitter motion of the world.

"Is there something I'm missing?" He grabbed her by the hair, puzzled.

He immediately started the car engine and drove away from that place full of questions in his mind. He went first to his sister Ramona, where she sat on the end of the sofa and gently sipped the cup of wine and on her other hand where her pet Aurora clung.

"Have you finished checking your sweet little nun?

"Stay away from her, Ramona," he said trying to calm.

"I would, if you could stay away from her," She sipped again, looking at him artfully.

"Stop being obnoxious."

"Oops! I don't mean to be intrusive, brother. I just don't like what I see," she laughed, looking at her pet snake Aurora.

He was in front of the girl and pointed his gun at her head without emotion; her pet Aurora calmed down immediately, but the woman did not.

"I'll fill your head with bullets the next time you intervene!" He immediately turned around and walked away, leaving it in a frenzy.

He wasn't joking this time; if she interferes with his plans and hurts Blessy again, he'll forget he has a crazy sister.

"She'll be your downfall!"

He shrugged and got into his car, saying he'd just do something for a while.

Zerus returns to Blessy's room after confronting Ramona; it was early in the morning, but he did not feel drowsy, and he was concerned, even if he said far from the heart what was accomplished correctly.

Blessy soundly sleeping, and next to her was the rosary and little book he had just noticed; it wasn't there when he entered earlier. Perhaps she awoke from the nightmare and got to pray. He stared for a long time at the rosary, which was obviously very old.

He approached it first and pick it up. He was shaken as he examined it; its old and almost ancient. He shrugged and his attention was diverted. He placed the rosary in the pocket of his leather jacket.

He turned to face the woman, a smile escape on his lips, "It's nice to watch her while sleeping. She's like an angel who can never be loved."

He sat slowly on the side of the bed, staring at her as if it were a good thing. He reached for the woman's smooth cheek and caressed it carefully. Zerus didn't smile inside. This is the last visit he will make. Whether he wants to or not, he can't risk her life, which is something he doesn't want to happen.

For goodness sake, he will force himself to forget her again! Enough of the moments they shared in Barrio Felopina. The love he feels for it her enough, even if it is forbidden.

"Blessy..." this word almost came out of his mouth, "I don't know why I feel this way. I know you will belong to your God and I respect that thing. I respect you. But... " he let out a deep sigh," Every time I see you, my defense weakens. Slowly the wall I put up crumbles. The demon in my person is slowly killing me. I don't know what's wrong with me… it's like something on me badly wanted you—"

"Fender..." Blessy took his hand.
