AS A SLEEPING FRIEND

52. Seeing the destruction (Author POV)

Javier stared at the body of a person who was stiffened and covered by a white cloth. Yep, yeah, currently Javier is in a mortuary at Hospital– because a while ago he got the info that in this place there is a critical patient due to a traffic accident and does not have an identity.

But unfortunately, when they arrived at the Hospital, the patient had just breathed his last. That's the info they received from one of the guard officers there.

Because of that, they finally have to be here. In the body's room to identify the body.

Javier had to open the cover and make sure it wasn't Elin or his future wife.

However, inexplicably Javier's guts shrieked to witness the sight he was about to see. Javier's not ready if it's really Elin.

"You should see it, Jav. Make sure if it's not Elin," insisted Cassie who entered the morgue.

"I can't, Cassie."

"Why are you such a coward?" pissed Cassie. "Or I'll make sure of it" he continued, shifting Javier's body to get out of front of the body cage.

With a hand that also shook, Cassie finally opened the cloth that covered the face of the body without life and immediately the girl muttered softly.

"Gosh …"

"What?" javier asked curiously, he did not want to look at the body that had been exposed to the cover, but hearing Cassie's mutter was enough to make him curious about who Cassie saw there. Is that really Elin?

"I can't recognize him. His face was smashed" Cassie whispered in a voice that almost whispered.

"Yes, God." Javier rubbed his face in frustration. Does he really have to look at himself and see it? If it was Elin, Javier wouldn't have forgiven himself.

"Try you see, Jav.I'm sure you can find out if she's Elin or not" said Cassie, whose voice was starting to hoarse, as if the girl was a manic now.

Without waiting for Javier's approval, Cassie leaves the mortuary. He felt devastated and shocked to see a corpse that ended up very ill in such circumstances.

With his head still bowed, Javier finally stepped closer to the cage where the body was stiffened.

Javier's breath was heard roaring, until he finally ventured to see more clearly to recognize the characteristics of the corpse specifically.

Javier threw away his gaze as he looked at the face of the body that was crushed and covered with blood. He took another deep breath in search of something else that could prove it wasn't Elin.

Looking from the shape of her body and the color of her hair, it did indeed look like Elin. But, Javier still want to deny it because he knows there are many girls who have posture and hair similar to Elin in this country.

And Javier realized that the clothes he was wearing belonged to Elin. Javier nodded in disbelief at what he saw.

"This is impossible" Javier cried in a choked voice. Javier's body fell to the floor, along with that he accidentally nudged the arm of the body until the hands of the girl without life fell into the eyes of Javier.

"No. You're definitely not Elin!" Javier hysterical when watching with his own eyes if dijari girl embedded ring that Elin used to use. It wasn't his gift, but Javier knew it was Elin's accessories.

Javier stood up again, because at the same time he remembered the Elin– pendant that was once given by his mother. Elin always used the pendant, even when sleeping.

Slowly and carefully, Javier touched the girl's neck to prove her curiosity. He wanted to see whether or not the locket existed.

...***...

Moments later, Javier exits the mortuary and meets Cassie and Jack who are still waiting for him there.

"How, Jav?"

Javier nodded weakly, his eyes looking blank and it was interpreted by Cassie that the body of the girl in the Body room was really Elin.

"I won't forgive myself" muttered Javier who looked deeply devastated.

"You sure it's him? We can still wait for the autopsy results, Jav."

...****...

Javier stared blankly at the people who had come and went in the funeral procession on the morning of that afternoon.

In his heart, Javier always denied that what is buried today is the body of his lover, Elin.

Some friends and relatives who have not been seen for a long time even come to the place of grief. Although they do not know Elin personally, they all appreciate Javier and worry about the man's situation.

Because after all, it should be Javier's wedding day with Elin tomorrow. But apparently, they were not allowed to be together, because they thought it was all Elin who had been gone forever.

"You need to be strong, Jav."

Uncle Sakha also encouraged his nephew, but Javier did not hear all the words of comfort they gave him. He is like a living person but dead.

Elara and Shane are worried about Javier, because everything is happening so fast. They fear the psychic son who will lose due to this incident. Even the wedding invitations Javier and Elin have been spread even though it is only for relatives.

In her position that was also present at the funeral, Irina gave a small smile. Highlights of his eyes are unable to cover up his sense of happiness - the moment he can witness firsthand - how destructive Javier is today.

Although for the sake of seeing this, Irina had to give up sacrificing her body to be enjoyed by Liam last night, but now she was taking in the sweetness and there was no regret in her heart.

Irina was not stupid to show her happy look in front of the mourners. He covered his eyes with a black eyeglass and walked over to Javier there.

"Jav, I'm so sorry about Elin's departure. After all, I knew her even though she was very short, she was a good and smart girl. I also pray that he will be given the best place by God's side. And for you, stay alive, Jav."

Javier doesn't even know if the one who's talking and shaking his hand right now is Irina. Although yesterday he had suspected this girl, but the thought was soon forgotten because it was replaced with a deep sadness due to finding the body of Elin who was lifeless.

While Jack was standing next to Javier, watching Irina's movements. He remembered that Javier had mentioned this girl's name at a glance. But seeing Irina's arrival at the funeral, Jack has the conclusion that Irina has nothing to do with the accident that befell Elin and Carla, I don't know. Should he be suspicious?

...***...

"You should have gone in there and watched Javier's shattered face at close range, Liam." Irina laughed discordantly after meeting Liam at his hiding place.

"I couldn't have been there, because what Javier knew .. I went out of town after receiving money from Elin back then."

Irina. "Yes, you're right. Hahaha, I feel very satisfied, Liam. He's broken, just like me who's slowly crumbling from constantly expecting it."

Liam wrapped both his hands around Irina's waist. "Isn't my idea brilliant?" tanyanya is confident.

Irina nodded. "Well, you're really smart about devising this strategy" he explained.

"Then, I want to continue the night with us, my dear," whispered Liam inductive manner.

Irina slightly dodged, but she also realized that she still needed Liam for other plans. After all, last night they had already done it even though Irina was actually upset because Liam trapped her to make her resigned to doing so.

"Alright, we'll do it again but promise to destroy Elin as well after she's completely healed later."

"of course. Didn't I already have plans to sell it again?" Liam pulled one corner of his lips to show the man's devious face.

"Don't sell at the same place. If necessary, just sell him into a slave," Irina advised.

"Calm down, honey. I've found the right person to buy Elin. She's going to turn into a nal bi girl" she said confidently.

Hearing that, Irina grew even more pleased. Until this time, he will try to please Liam consciously.

"Come on, we have to have fun over Javier's suffering."

...Seriate…...
