After eating with Natsume, Artemisia decided to go back home and finished the dress for the wedding was held next week. She checked her phone for calls and messages and she found two missed calls from Hikaru, five text messages from Azusa, three BBM messages, and five missed calls from Ukyo.
She sighed as she brushed her black hair, today was the day she tell them all the truth. It was now or never, she waited for this time for 5 years and at last, the time has come.
Or not?
How could something very simple is yet hard to understand?
Clouds were gray, people wearing black, sounds of whimper and sobs...
They're crying over the wrong Gonzales.
After I visited her in the hospital, she immediately told me the truth.
A girl sitting on the bed with her hands on her lap, a bandage wrapped around her head and eyes. Bruises and cuts on her shoulders and arms, her lips trembling and skin pale as if she was a living corpse.
Hikaru walks slowly and approached the girl.
"Hello?" The girl asked, her head tilted. "S-someone t-there?"
Hikaru's eyes softened at the girl's innocence. How could something very soft and fragile experience this?
"Yes," Hikaru replied, taking a seat on a chair beside the bed.
"Oh, what do you want?" She asked in a small voice.
"What's your name?" Hikaru asked.
"C-carmen." She stuttered out.
Hikaru sighed and pressed his palms on his forehead, feeling his eyes stings. This was not supposed to happen, he didn't want this, he only wanted the truth. The whole truth.
Hikaru closed his eyes and breathe deeply. The girl, however, sensed his discomfort.
"Are you alright, mister?"
Hikaru nodded and smile, though he knew she couldn't see because of the bandage on her eyes.
"Yes, I'm alright."
Carmen smiled at him and nodded, then frowned when she thought of her sister.
"H-have y-you h-h-heard a-a-abo-ut m-my s-si-ster?"
"Sister?" He asked, "Her name?"
"A-ar-temisia?"
Hikaru's breath hitched when he heard that name. He felt betrayed and hurt for Artemisia to lie to him about her Identity, but this is her sister now asking about her condition.
He sighed and gulped the lump in his throat.
"She didn't make it."
