The Other Side's

Awakened

I don't know what else I can trust right now. The Peter I've known all along wasn't that good and not that sweet. All the sadness, disappointment and anger were mixed.

I hate you Peter! I hate myself who still loves him. I walk down the city street, I feel this soul tired, I need a break.

I accidentally entered a parked taxi, threw my body in the passenger seat, hoping it could take me away from the city.

"Hey!" the taxi driver who turned out to be a woman screamed, he felt the vibrations of the time I got into the car but saw no one in the rearview mirror.

As I was shocked, it seemed like this woman could feel my presence.

"Excuse me.. Can you see me?" the woman did not answer.

He looked away, looked in any direction but I knew he was pretending not to see me.

"Hello .. Can you see me? I know that,"

"Okey .. okay! I can see you, now get out of my car." the woman started to get nervous about my whereabouts.

A pair of teenagers got in the car, I shifted a little, made room for them.

"Love park." said the guy

The car began to drive when the girl who was chewing gum fell silent for a moment and sniffed at me.

"Having transported rotten meat? Your car stinks, too,"

"Ah yes .. sorry!" the taxi driver then sprayed perfume all over the car, but the girl was already nauseous.

He asks the car to stop, the girl jumps out of the car, then runs into the bushes spewing out her entrails.

"You see what you're doing? You can make me lose my job if you stay here!"

"But I didn't do anything" I replied

"You didn't do anything but your stench made me lose a passenger!"

Ah very sad, when I was alive I was a kara. Now that this woman rejected me, it felt like I was destined to live alone forever. I didn't feel my tears falling and I started crying.

"Oh no .. no! Please don't cry, my car stinks and now there's more crying. People will assume this car is a ghost cab."

An idea suddenly flashed through my head.

"Well, I'll stop crying but promise you'll be my friend,"

"What?"

"So you don't want to? All right, I'm not getting out of your car,"

"Okey I'll be your friend,"

"Asikk!" I was excited while laughing

"Sstt .. shut up, there was a crying voice and then laughing, people really thought this was a haunted taxi!"

"Well then take me to your house,"

"Ah you're driving me crazy!" grumble the woman.

The taxi driver's woman was named Ramona, a girl of Indian descent who had a sixth sense. Along the way to his residence I told him about my relationship with Peter and that after I died I learned the vile and terrible things that Peter and his family had been hiding.

Ramona's apartment is small but quite comfortable, she lives alone. His brother Samuel lived in another city, he only visited once.

"Your apartment is comfortable," I stepped towards the balcony, letting the breeze blow my face.

"So what do I want to do?" ramona asked while brewing coffee in her cup.

"I want you to get close to Peter,"

"For what? He's a sadistic man! I don't want to be close to someone like him,"

"But he will be sentenced long ago for the crimes he committed,"

"Let's! I hope with that punishment he'll come to his senses."

"Hmm ... So where do we start?"

"You ever ask Peter for friendship?"

"Wow you don't know how real your lover is! More than half of the girls in this town ask Peter for friendship, hoping to be close to him."

"Honestly, many people expect your relationship to end in order to take your place."

I just smiled wryly at Ramona's words, it's my lucky picture or something, I don't know.

Ramona opens the blue app on her phone.

"He hasn't confirmed me yet" he said

"It looks like he has his own criteria, which girl he will accept" I said

"So do you have a better plan?"

Ramona sat back and enjoyed her coffee

"It looks like we should keep an eye on him, follow him at a pretty safe distance,"

"Well that seems like a pretty good idea, so when do we start?"

"Quickly, I'll be watching him at close range because he can't see me,"

"Would you focus on finding where he keeps the files we can turn to for evidence, we can't just accuse Peter and his family without hard evidence,"

"Well you're right,"

"I'll watch Peter from afar."

Ramona prepares everything she needs to spy on Peter, a camera and a voice recorder.

Peter was in the operating room when I arrived at the hospital, I rushed to his room. Checking through some of his files and vaults but all seems mundane, there's only a few patient data, financial statements, operating schedules and a few other common things.

I went around the hospital, peeking at some rooms. This hospital is so different during the day, it all seems fun. The nurses are friendly, the garden with plants neatly arranged.

I walked across the mini-golf park, continuing towards the labyrinth. If I hadn't witnessed what happened that night, it would have been fun playing there.

Ah I remember now! I think I'm looking for evidence in the wrong place, I should be looking in Lana's room, not Peter's. The woman was his personal assistant of course he was the one who knew the most about all the transactions that took place in this hospital.

I ran into Lana's room when I saw Peter sitting on a park bench making a video call with a blonde girl.

The girl spoke in a tone made as marbled as possible, Peter responded with words that were no less tempting.

"Have you forgotten that girl?" ask the blonde

"Well of course! There's a girl who's as pretty and attractive as you are, what should I remember her for,"

"You're right, dear Peter," the girl rolled her eyes, Peter pressed his lips forward as if he was kissing the girl making him laugh flirtatiously.

"So when are you going to Lovelock?" ask Peter

"So, I'm not well. I can't get out of town right now,"

"Come on! You're an agile girl, I'm sure you can sneak in for a little fun,"

"You're challenging me?" ask the girl

Ah it feels sick to hear and see their talk, I was just about to leave them when I heard Peter cut off the conversation after having promised to meet the girl in two days.

Hmm ... will the incident that Olivia experienced happen to this girl too? If so, this could be a good time to get proof. I rushed to Ramona's place, impatient to plan with her.
