Chapter 38 Stupid Wife
"... Sandra."
Once again, Clinton was awake from his nightmare.
He dreamed of her again.
In his dream, Sandra was in white dress, which she never wore before, smiling at him gently while asking him if she looked pretty.
He came forward to embrace her, but the moment he touched her, she turned into the gold ashes spreading in the air.
Vanished.
He felt it was wet and cold between his legs and he moved the blanket to check.
It went as expected.
When they were together before, he had never dreamed of her.
But the day Charlize lost control of herself to say so many things, as if the last curtain was finally lifted so that he couldn't control his feel anymore. And it became even stronger and stronger.
Whom did he love at the end?
Clinton threw the underwear to the dustbin as usual and walked into the bathroom after he checked the calendar again. It had been a month since Sandra was gone.
She was still not found.
But he didn't believe she was dead.
Maybe because he thought she had 9 lives, or maybe because he stubbornly kept the slight trace of relationship with her as he could still feel her around.
Somewhere in this space, in this world.
Even Eddie believed that Sandra couldn't survive. That day he almost killed him. And then after he took his angry out violently, he moved to England as a way of escape, without any contact with him any longer.
But Clinton sense she was still alive.
The people out there for search her was on surveillance on shifts.
That day when he came out of the bathroom, drying his hair with towel, he got a call.
"Sir, good news!"
As soon as he hung up, he had no time to change but went downstairs in casual clothes.
In that month, he was more mature comparing to before. He could keep a poker face well. It was rare for him to lose control like it today.
He was still nervous in the car, tidying his hair unconsciously.
Considering what he should say when he saw her.
But he never thought it was totally different when he saw Sandra again.
A luxury white Maybach stopped at the village.
The road was too narrow for the car so that they could only walk on foot.
The village people were rejoicing and busy with decoration for a couple who were about to get married.
The church was also humbly decorated.
Clinton and his assistant came into the crowd according to the address they got, and started to asked people immediately.
"Excuse me, did this family save a woman from the sea one month ago?"
The man they were engaging conversation looked at them oddly, as their clothes were so inappropriate with the atmosphere there.
That man pointed at the family that were busy with wedding with his chin.
The door was closed with several people peeping outside as they were curious with what was going on inside.
"Of course. See, they are about to get married. They have a retarded son who could never get married. But recently the sea brought along a retarded girl too. They are exactly a couple. "
" We have the tradition that they should consummate after the ceremony. Are you some rich relatives here, aren't you?" Let's wait for them to finish consummation."
That person invited them to go in but saw his poke face getting even colder and walking into that door.
"Hey, what are you doing? they are busy now."
While the man was talking, Clinton came to the door already. The air he carried frightened the crowd so that they dared not to come closer.
In a second, he used his leg and kicked the door open.
Bang!
"Auch!"
The crowd shouted in shock.
Clinton cared nothing about how they saw him, but bent his back in order to go through the narrow door. Then he saw the scene he could never forget.
