Expensive leather shoes worn by a man in his 30s with a rough step towards the office. The expression on his face showed that he was angry about something. His hand was holding a scroll of a comic book and he was wearing glasses. He went there to notice many workers working there.
The glass door was pushed roughly by this angry man. His face was red with emotion in his heart. His eyes quickly looked at all the workers in the office. While the workers there just observed his arrival there.
"Hey, where....where's your boss?!" The man shouted, looking for someone. All the workers in the office were a little confused.
"Where is that damn man?! I want to see him now!!!" He said again, roaring with anger. One of the workers there quickly ran the child towards a room. Turns out he entered the CEO's Room.
Before he stepped inside, he knocked on the door first to ask for permission.
"Come in." A man who was sitting calmly on a swivel chair with both legs crossed on the work table. His eyes were closed for a long time.
Arick, one of the men who work in his company came to meet to tell you something. He quickly stood stiffly in front of the desk of the man who held the position of CEO.
"Sir, Mr. Hillary came here in a rage looking for you." He said to tell you the real thing that happened outside. An angry scream could be heard outside his office. But the man in front of him just closed his eyes.
"Mr. Hillary came in angry?" He asked, still closing his eyes.
"Yes sir," Arick replied respectfully to the calm man.
Hearing the news, the man who was just relaxing in the chair quickly opened his eyes. He quickly got up from his swivel chair and walked out of the room. He began to approach the hot-tempered man, Hillary, in his office.
"What's all this noise? Is there a screaming concert in this office?" He began to approach Hillary there.
A dark blue dress with a knee-length suit, wearing a thick t-shirt covering his neck before the long suit approached him with a smile on his face. Hillary was speechless seeing his presence in front of her eyes.
"I...I want to tell you about this?!" A roll of comic books that he had been holding since earlier was deliberately thrown to the floor with the emotion of anger. The man in front of him just laughed cynically as he watched his company's comic book thrown on the floor. What happened?
"Wow...you're so angry today, Mr. Hillary."
"Yes, I'm really angry. Why did you force my people to sell these boring comics on the world market?! My company is about to experience an economic downturn, you know that?!" Say it at a high pitch. He still smiled wryly.
"Boring? I didn't think you didn't like the comic. How do you want me to finish it?" He said, negotiate well. All his employees in the office just watched the fight between the two of them.
"Pay compensation for damages."
"Oh....pay compensation, huh? Hmm..interesting." His response made Hillary frown. It's as if he pretends to be calm and keeps his anger in his heart.
"Arick! Take that little trash can and bring it here." He gave instructions to Arick, who was standing behind him.
Arick, without delay, immediately took a small trash can to the office and took it in front of his employer. The lighter was already in his hand and he picked up the comic that had been thrown on the floor earlier.
"Okay, let's get it over with." He quickly turned on the lighter and burned the comic before throwing it in a small trash can. His eyes stared at the small fire that burned the comics produced by his company. Everyone who saw him there was shocked. Hillary just kept quiet.
"This boring comic has been wiped out before my eyes, and now it's your turn." His words had scared Hillary.
"What do you mean, it's my turn?"
Without thinking, he immediately pulled Hillary's hand and took her to the garbage can that was still on fire. Hillary is getting scared.
"What...what are you doing?!"
"What am I going to do? It was your hand that threw the comic on the floor earlier. So, this hand should burn like in the comic, right?" He threatened to put Hillary's hand in the trash can.
Hillary tried to escape from his grasp but was unsuccessful. He pulled Hillary's hand very hard. He slowly pulled Hillary's hand into a trash can with a burning fire to burn it.
"Mr. Wizart! Please...please don't do this...I'm begging...I...I won't ask you to pay that compensation again." pleads Hillary in fear of seeing his hand nearly burned in the trash can. This scary man is Wizart. A terrifying side that is capable of bringing death to anyone rude to it. His eyes widened as he waited for Hillary's hand to be burned along with his comic.
"I'll let you go. From today, promise me that you won't cause any more trouble with my company's comics. Understood?!" Wizart's harsh tone nearly broke Hillary's terrified ears.
"Yes, I understand." His answer made his whole body tremble.
Relieved to hear Hillary answer that, according to his order, he let go of Hillary's hand. Save Hillary's hand from burning because of Wizart.
"Take good care of your hands. One day, your hands will disappear because of me. Hmm?" A soft threat but it was terrifying to hear it. Wizart, with a mysterious smile, simply patted Hillary on the shoulder before leaving.
He casually left Hillary and all his employees in the office. He calmly walked out of the company without any obstacles. All his employees who bump into him are quick to say hello. Wizart left as if nothing had happened.
"Who is he?" Hillary asked in a half-whisper, watching Wizart's movements from a distance.
"He is the scary CEO of this company, sir. You should be careful after this.." answered Arick, whispering in his ear. Hillary is getting more and more scared to hear the true statement of CEO Wizart who attacked him earlier.
'I'd rather...make someone else miserable than end their life easily.'
-Wizart-
Teresa's relatively spacious and bright house is enough to recognize the side of herself that is afraid of the dark. Teresa is a girl who is busy every day creating comic stories on her iPad phone to earn a side income.
She tries to prepare a chapter for her loyal readers on social media. The comics created by Teresa are very interesting to read. But Teresa hides herself as a mystery comic writer rather than presenting herself in front of fans like an artist. Humble yourself to say...
Every moment of available time is filled by drawing some comic human figures to connect the chapters of each story. Teresa is quite famous among comic readers if Teresa reveals herself. But she doesn't want to!
While she was busy drawing and colouring his comic human figures, his iPhone was buzzing on his desk. At first, Teresa ignored her but soon Teresa became more and more upset and disturbed by the phone call. Teresa grunted harshly at the noise of her phone ringing. She quickly stopped his work and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Teresa. Where are you now?" Ask a caller there.
"I'm at home. Why?"
"Your boyfriend...I met him at the cafe now. He was with another girl."
"What?!" Hearing the bad news, Teresa quickly got up from there with an angry frown.
"Rani, wait for me there. I'll be right back." The answer almost burned the phone. The expression on her face was very angry with her boyfriend.
"You're going to die this time, Danish!"
That very emotional feeling accelerated the process of walking out of the house. In just a few seconds, she got dressed and left the house. Including his unfinished comics.
****
Rani, Teresa's friend, is already waiting for her in front of the cafe again. She had been waiting there for a long time but Teresa still hadn't arrived. Rani was on her knees waiting for her while standing.
"Oh my god, when did my friend get here? My knee feels like it's going to break." Rani complained alone.
The wait ended well. Teresa arrived just in time. Rani quickly approached her, who had just reached the cafe.
"Teresa, you..."
Before Rani had time to speak to her, Teresa, with an angry expression, just passed in front of her before stepping into the cafe. Rani sighed for a long time, seeing her friend almost bursting because of her boyfriend's cheating. Even friends are ignored. Pity, Rani.
Teresa's eyes seemed lost looking for her boyfriend in the cafe with other girls. It turned out that the target was sitting near the window of the cafe. Teresa quickly approached them with a strong kick. Meanwhile, Riani was just following Teresa's steps.
"Hey, stupid guy!" Teresa screamed at her cheating boyfriend, Danish, whom she knew was pretty good, moist and not even very handsome! Have a heart to cheat!
"Teresa?" He said. He quickly got up from the chair after noticing Teresa's presence there. He was caught because he had an appointment with another woman.
"Once again, you are with the girl behind me, huh?! Who is this girl?" Teresa asked in Danish in a high tone. All the customers in the cafe watched their fight. The woman who was Danish felt confused.
"Teresa, listen to my explanation first. I.."
"Danish, you've been going out with a lot of girls all this time...You even cheated on me too, Danish! You're stupid, Danish!" Tears flowed down Teresa's cheeks. Her heart ached to see the dirty tricks of her boyfriend whom she had trusted to protect and love her. But Danish is not!
"Teresa, don't be like this, dear. You're embarrassing me, you know that?"
"I know you're shy. Every day, you go out with different girls. Do you think they're your toys?! You change girls every day. What kind of man are you, Danish!"
Hearing Teresa's true statement, the woman who was Danish couldn't believe it. The expression on his face seemed to start to distrust Danish.
"Shut your mouth, Teresa."
"You're the one who shuts up! From today, our relationship is over! You're only in love with me because...I'm a writer.."
"Teresa, don't!" Rani immediately interrupted Teresa's words. She knew Teresa was trying to hide her own identity. Teresa realized the behind her words.
"Alright, Danish. Go with another girl! I don't care! But there's only one thing I...want to do for you." She said, quickly bowing down. Danish, who was just standing in front of him, seemed to be aware of where Teresa was looking at him.
"Teresa, you...what do you want to do to me?" He said he was scared by Teresa's look. It turns out that Teresa sees something of value to a man like a Danish.
"Taste it!" Quickly, she kicked Danish private parts with her foot. Danish, who was in great pain, very quickly sat on the floor. The woman who was with him immediately ran towards Danish.
Rani felt that Teresakick hurt Danish very much. Teresa proudly walked away from there, leaving Danish. Rani likes to see the reaction of a Danish face in pain. She also immediately left there while sticking out her tongue at Danish to mock him. Match your face, Danish!
After leaving the cafe, Teresa was sobbing. His tears flowed profusely.
"Teresa, you..."
"Rani, leave me alone," Teresa said. She wanted to be alone. Bringing a heartbreaking cry, his hands were busy wiping his tears with the end of his shirt sleeve as she stepped heavily away from his friend. Rani just watched his movements from behind.
"I'm also sad to see Teresa.." she said, sympathizing, seeing Teresa's sadness because of her Danish. Trusting someone too much can also hurt if someone tries to betray them. Danish and Teresa were not destined to live together.
Although his steps were slow, she was already getting further away from the cafe in a state where she was still crying. The bench set up in front of the bakery was approached before Teresa sat down. She serves his feelings. Teresa cried like a baby whining on the street. That was Teresa's situation now when she sat there.
Unexpectedly, Wizart was also sitting on the same bench as Teresa. It's just that they just sit at the end of the bench to calm down. Wizart was surprised to hear Teresa crying like a baby there. Noisy and painful to the ears.
'What's wrong with this girl?' He said. He just spoke in his heart. Wizart tried to pretend he didn't hear Teresa cry. But the longer it is left, the louder it sounds.
The Danish person who experienced pain in that part almost recovered himself. He tried to find Teresa to explain. Even though it was clear all along that he was cheating on Teresa. Walking through the pain, his eyes saw Teresa sitting on the bench crying. Danish quickly approached him with a smile.
"Teresa!" Call it to Teresa from a distance. Teresa's crying stopped for a moment when she saw him from afar.
"Teresa, I'm sorry. I had no intention of hurting you. The girl was just..." he explained to Teresa while standing and looking at Teresa there. Wizart just looked at them. It's like a Wizart movie watching them both. Whereas Teresa did not look at Danish at all.
"Go away, Danish. You cheated on me." Teresa was still not satisfied. When Wizart heard the two of them talking, Wizart realized something about Danish. He looked at the Danish appearance from top to bottom.
"Please, Teresa. I'm sorry. Let's go back." Danish persuaded her to the point of holding Teresa's hand by force. Wizart was still looking at them there.
"I don't want to! Go die, Danish!" The stubborn Teresa did not want to follow Danish instructions. His hand was once again pulled by the Danish to take him away from there.
"Hey, what's this? Let go!" Forced Danish until Teresa stood up from the bench. Danish behaviour made Wizart angry.
"Hey, bad guy!" Finally, Wizart spoke to the Danish. Danish turned towards him.
Wizart calmly stood up from the bench and approached Danish, who was still holding Teresa's hand. Wizart looked at him with a serious face.
"Don't touch her."
"What? Hey, who are you? Don't interfere in my affairs, okay?"
"I'm her boyfriend!" He said, surprising Danish and Teresa there. Wizart is quite brave to admit that he is Teresa's boyfriend. Teresa's hand was held by him to loosen the Danish grip. Danish seems challenged. Both of their eyes stared intently at each other.
"What? You're her boyfriend?" Danish said in disbelief.
How calmly Wizart stared at the vile man in front of him with sharp eyes. While Teresa just watched them both. Why did Wizart claim to be Teresa's boyfriend when he just met Teresa today? What did the Danish do after finding out?
The gaze of the eyes became sharper, staring at each other. Teresa's hand was still held by Wizart at that time. While Danish felt hot seeing Wizart interfere in his affair with Teresa. But looking at Wizart's strong, tall and white body makes the Danish feel scared. Look at his broad shoulders. Once a punch is given, he will surely fall.
"I know you're just pretending to admit that Teresa is your girlfriend. Don't act like a hero in front of me!" He said, showing courage. Even though he was afraid to see Wizart in front of him.
"You think I'm pretending? So you want me to prove it?" Wizart said with a sinister smile.
"Yes." The Danish answer wants certainty. Teresa, who was just standing there looking at them, was quickly hypnotized by Wizart. Their eyes were so full of emotion that Teresa's heart was beating fast! Why with Teresa's heart?
Without wasting time, Wizart, who wanted to prove their love, quickly kissed Teresa's lips in front of Danish eyes. Teresa rolled her eyes at Wizart's sudden action towards her.
'Why did he suddenly kiss my lips?' His heart speaks. She just let Wizart kiss his lips.
Not long after that, Wizart broke their kiss and turned his gaze towards Danish. Danish face is getting redder with anger.
"Look. She's my girlfriend. Do you know, you think..are you the only one who cheats on other girls? She cheats on you too." Wizart explained while laughing, mocking Danish.
Teresa was still stunned, looking at Wizart. How great this man in front of him protected herself and even dared to kiss his lips to make Danish trust him. Teresa was silent without blinking, staring at Wizart's handsome face from the corner. Teresa seemed to have started to fall in love.
"What? I don't believe it."
"You don't believe me? She and I have been in love for a year without your knowledge. You're wrong, bro." He said, quickly hugging Teresa's shoulder. They looked like a couple in love. Even though it's not really.
"Alright, honey...Let's go. You're lucky because you're in love with me. Otherwise, maybe this man would have been killed by me here. Hmm?" He persuaded her while smiling at Teresa and took her away from there, leaving Danish.
Teresa was still staring at him. His gaze was engrossed in Wizart's face. Meanwhile, Danish simply lets Teresa be taken away by her new lover. Danish began to believe that Wizart was Teresa The lover all that time. The look on his face showed he was in despair.
Walking while holding hands until they were out of Danish sight, Wizart let go of Teresa's hand roughly. His expression turned cold.
"Now, you won't be bothered by him anymore, understand?" He said, giving the final word.
"Excuse me?" Teresa quickly stopped him from leaving. Wizart looked at Teresa again with his eyebrows raised.
"What is your name?" Teresa asked bravely. His heart hoped to meet Wizart.
"You don't need to know my name. I helped you because you disturbed my peace there. You whine like a baby, you know that?!" Wizart's tone rose slightly in anger.
"A soft-hearted girl!" He walked away from there. Both of his hands were shoved into his pants pockets casually. While Teresa was a little disappointed with Wizart's cold attitude toward her.
"He's arrogant...But it doesn't matter..what's important, I ran away from that stupid man." She said and started walking in the opposite direction of Wizart. Teresa smiled happily.
While Wizart received a call from his suit pocket. But his phone was just looked at with a serious expression on his face.
"This old man again." He said, quickly swiping toward the red button on his phone screen. He ended the call. Who would have called him so he didn't want to answer the call?
****
'The number you dialled could not be reached...'
The unanswered call shocked a man in his 50s to turn off the call. He let out a long sigh.
"Why won't he pick up my phone?" He asked, wanting to know why every time he called him he didn't pick up. He immediately sat down on the light blue sofa in his office.
Leaning back quietly on the sofa and closing his eyes, he imagined past events as he looked at the ceiling of the room. A tragedy lingered in his mind.
He imagined the blood from the dining table flowing rapidly and dripping onto the floor. It looked like a woman putting her face on the dining table with her throat slit. Blood from the woman's neck flowed down onto the table.
"Darling?" He said that he was very panicked to see the woman with the sweet name killed on the dining table. A boy who was there just laughed at the girl who was killed.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
The sound of laughter from the boy's mouth echoed in the dining room. His eyes widened at the strange behaviour of the boy just sitting on the floor laughing. The boy was no ordinary boy.
His laughter made this old man wake up from his sofa. His eyes immediately opened wide. His breath began to gasp as he imagined the horrible incident. His other hand was holding her chest.
"Wizart...." he whispered the name.
Does Wizart have a history related to his shadow? Who is the woman who was killed on the dining table? What happened in the past? The murder of the woman had made him afraid to remember the past. He seems to be traumatized every time he remembers the tragic death of a woman in his past with a boy there. Sometimes his heart kind of doesn't believe in all the things that happen to him. But it was surprising after hearing him mention Wizart's name after imagining the event. A real nightmare in his life.
