The Side Away

Tidings

Lucy is crazy. Towards evening came to his apartment with a long scolding. Since marriage, Lucy has always troubled Laura. Although taking care of Jessica is her wish, but it is different if Lucy starts chattering non-stop. Whether possessed by a demon, Lucy keeps mentioning Gino's name ever since Laura opened her apartment door.

An hour passed and there was no sign of Lucy ending the conversation. Laura stuffed her ears with a headset and played a song.

Lately, Laura likes to listen to Japanese songs. Although, not knowing the meaning, he still heard it.

Lucy pulls the headset out of her ear. Laura's fun is over.

"Gino's back in New York."

"It's none of my business" he said briefly.

"He asked David to do something, hopefully not some crazy plan."

Laura shakes. "I'm not interested."

"Mouth and heart are different, you still love her, don't you?" ask Lucy.

"I'm tired of this shit." Laura walked into the kitchen. He brewed two cups of coffee and brought them back to the living room. "Drink to get your brain back to normal."

"I'm not crazy!" deny Lucy.

Laura nodded. "It's not crazy if the blind see it."

"I know you still love her."

Laura sipped her coffee. He was not keeping secrets, but was reluctant to explain more details. Lucy and David think Gino's shadow is still lingering in his mind. Unfortunately, their thinking was wrong.

"Mario returns to the Aussie," Lucy grabs a cup of coffee. "He's getting a divorce."

It was more shocking than hearing Gino return to New York.

Why do men love to divorce?

Laura quickened her pace when she heard the sound of footsteps behind her. After the shooting incident, Laura did not want to experience anything scary. With trembling hands, he pulled out his phone to contact Lucy. Ask the woman to pick him up in the lobby. Luckily, Lucy stays at her apartment so Laura can dispel a little of her fear.

Lucy's figure is seen from a distance. Laura breathed a sigh of relief and looked back. There's no one there. It was impossible for the footsteps that followed him to be part of his hallucination.

"Your body is thin, but it's not good at midnight eating instant food. You could die before you get married!"

Lucy's long nagging escorts Laura's step through the apartment hallway. Until she was in the kitchen, Laura had not been able to forget the incident.

"What's wrong with you?" Lucy checked Laura's pale face. "You can't see ghosts."

"Someone followed me."

"Oh my God, I have to call the police!" Lucy almost pressed the green button ready to make the call. However, Laura quickly snatched the phone. "Why?" tanyakanya.

Laura shakes. "I'm not sure, but I saw him walking behind me. Wearing boots and obviously the guy's a grown man."

"What do you mean, grown men?" Lucy squinted her eyes. "Do you expect that snot kid to do it?"

"Russell's at Queen's."

"I'm calling David now."

If someone is stalking her, Laura is not anxious when David comes to her apartment. And, the figure behind David made him fixate.

Isn't the guy with David a stalker?

Laura's heart nearly exploded when the man's face cover was opened.

"Gino?!"
