The Finger Ring

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Constan left Manner and Dygta at their table. He went to Limin, which was full of people there. Manner who saw that made a small smile at Dygta.

"Are we going to get out of here?"

Dygta nodded his head and they finished the drink in their glass and left. At the door, Manner was worried.

"Maybe Constan and Limin want to ride in my car." Manner stared at the classical piano and he seemed giggling. "Constan replaced Limin playing the piano. Oh, my God, what a great song for her to play."

And the voice of the people singing the spirit hit the door where Manner and Dygta were standing right now.

...****************...

As Brinsham's lights dimmed and faintly lit behind the car, Manner hummed a song played by Constan while inside the bar.

"That constant is a man full of mystery!" manner said loudly. It was fortunate that Dygta was not surprised to hear Manner's sudden voice.

"Why can he play that song? Is it possible that she fantasized that it was her wedding? Oh, that's impossible!" Manner laughed mockingly, "Right. I do not deny that Limin is a beautiful and beautiful girl, but in Constan's world there are dozens of girls like Limin. Maybe there was something more beautiful than her. And that's just a toy for Constan. He would not have married one of those who worked just like him."

"Or maybe he fell in love with Limin" Dygta said slowly.

"Love? Constan? For God's sake! Ha Ha Ha ..., to be honest, this is my personal opinion, however he is, he is not the type of man to make a woman happy even though she is loved. Aren't you scared of her, too?" Manner suddenly added.

"Fear? Why would I be afraid of him?" said Dygta somewhat nervously looking at Manner's face.

"I think I know it" Manner said reflecting on his statement. "I guess Constan subconsciously reminded you of someone who made you run away from him. I'm sure he's been doing something like that to influence you, ever since you first met at Peters' house with Constan." .

The car stopped and Dygta saw the steps of the Peters family home. Dygta remembered Constan helping him, when he fell in the delay and his luggage fell scattered there.

"He knows my mind is right, doesn't he, Dygta?" Manner held Dygta's hand cold as an ice cube. "Why did you feel afraid of him the first time you met him? Why else would you say something to her that would scare me? Isn't the answer obvious?"

Yeah, Dygta thought. He said that Constan was scary. But now, it's so confusing. Even though it was then, he said it solemnly. However, he thought that something was off his mind, and it was just that he still did not remember something on his mind.

"Manner," Dygta's cold hand moved into Manner's handrails in agitation. "I want to know something. I want to know ... How did Constan's father and mother die?"

Dygta heard there was a mysterious tone in Manner's speech, and Dygta knew that Manner was asking himself, what might be his connection to his deceased uncle and aunt with the incident of a girl who lost her memory in the past. Manner sat back and imagined a tragedy in the Peters family.

And he imagined the tragedy for Dygta.

"It was an accident that shouldn't have happened, Dygta. When a storm came threatening, and when Constan's father insisted on setting sail, his two classes refused to board the ship, firmly stating that there would be a storm today. He said he would kill himself if he wanted to leave. But Constan's father doesn't care about it. He's sailing that yacht. You know what's going on? The yacht was slammed into the reef and capsized. He and Carmelina drowned with the ship. But with luck like a miracle, they actually got away with the accident. The crew that followed them could save them. From all that, they thought and hypothesized that Stephen Peters had completely lost his mind at the time. They stated that Stephen Peters and his wife had quarreled and that it often happened between them in the hours before Stephen Peters decided to sail using that yacht." Manner paused for a moment, and he ended his story in a very deep tone.

"The four men all agreed, though Peters' family fought frequently, but it was not unheard of that Carmelina threatened to leave her husband. "I can't be like this, I can't live with you anymore, with your behavior like that!" carmelina told Stephen Peters. "You have made me hell! I'd rather die!"

"And him?" dygta whisper. "What did he say as the answer?"

Manner shuffled and Dygta felt Manner's grip tighten, "What did Stephen say? Well, according to the four living witnesses, Stephen agreed, that Carmelina would rather die!"

Dygta imagines Carmelina dead as a dead moth, which is destroyed without being able to resist and even evade.

"I think I've read about it in a newspaper" Dygta said.

"That could be, Stephen Peters is also famous as a playboy, and Carmelina is also famous as a dancer before she got married. Carmelina is very beautiful and beautiful. I saw him here a few times at Peters' house. She was like a flower that grew in a tropical, exotic-skinned climate. I was twelve years old and it was hard to imagine a woman so beautiful and stylish, and agile, and to know death. Like a toy that suddenly breaks and breaks. Or a rose on a road suddenly run over by a car." Manner took a long breath. "I just hope Limin realizes what he's done, because I'm worried that in this Peters family, history at any time will be repeated like Stephen Peters' case."

...****************...

That day was Wednesday. Tomorrow Manner will go to the city of Plymouth for a day. He has a conference in the medical field. Manner was eager to meet Max Yentas, an Osteopath expert from Canada. Mrs Peters said last night that Manner had been asked to speak about rheumatic diseases.

Dygta sat on the porch wall and he looked very fresh in a dress that he wore with a colorful light in the twilight.

There was the sound of the footsteps of high heels, and Limin approached Dygta who was sitting there.

He nagged that the library room was so dark and there was no light at all there to work, hoping Manner agreed to Dygta's proposal to replace the light of the lamp that was brighter than it is now.
