(Kind, crazy & cold-hearted)

Episode 23

By: Faith Lucky.

Kim nana (Crazy)
Okay; what’s going on?

I looked at the ugly weirdos in front of me and figured they were probably here for trouble.

But I don’t know them. So…whatever.

I tried walking away but one of them held me back by the wrist.

“And where do you think you’re going?” He asked and I flinched.

“What’s wrong with you? The f**k will you let me go?” I snapped and tried wriggling my hand from his but he wouldn’t let me.

Then, I punched him.

“Ugh!” He gro-ned and staggered.

“If any of you touches me again, I promise you’ll regret it” I warned and immediately, one of them gave me a hærd slap with the back of his palm.

Whaaat?

I shrieked and fell on the floor. My eyes dilated.

“You’ve had your fun, Mi cha” the one who slapped me said.
“Now, it’s time for ours”.

Who’s Mi cha?

Immediately, the other pulled out something like a spray bottle and sprinkled it on me and I sneezed.

“What’re you…” I tried speaking, but the s-nsation crowded me and I found myself dozing off.

No!

Mi cha (Cold-hearted)
I stopped the car by the roadside and took off the veil. My heart was beating so fast and I lifted my eyes to look into the mirror.

The difference was more than clear – that lady was me.

We had the same face.

But how? Why? Who’s she? Could it be possible…

I shook my head and thought for a while.

I needed to do something; speak with her and know who she really is.

I couldn’t just run away..

What if…we had a connection?

What if…

I closed my eyes and exhaled. I wouldn’t be at peace knowing someone that looked like me that much was out there. I just needed to speak with her.

Without further hesitation, I turned on the ignition and revised the car, headed back to the party.

Jeremy’s Pov:
I was so restless and couldn’t even think straight.

I k-ssed Kim!

Oh God! I just hope she believed my explanation and doesn’t take it to heart.
But where’s she? I needed to speak with her. Don’t tell me she’s ran away.

I turned and scoured my eyes around for her but unfortunately met with Natalie instead.

Gosh!

Her face looked pale and swollen as she came towards me and slapped and lifted her hand like she wanted to slap me.

What?

“How dare you, Jeremy?” She asked tearfully, bringing down her hand.
Luckily for her.

“How could you think of doing such a thing to me? After all I’ve done for you??”

“Have you gone crazy, Natalie?” I scoffed.
“What exactly have you done for me aside breaking my heart and using me like a fool?”

“That was a mistake! Just one mistake! How could you be so cruel? You really think you can push me away by getting me jealous?”

I looked around and discovered few eyes were already dancing around us.

“You’re already a loser, Natalie and no matter what you do, I’m never coming back to you. So, just get lost” I whispered to her and left, going out of the party.

I walked out of the entrance and looked left and right for her.

“Kim!” I called, wondering where she might be.

Oh, God! Don’t tell me she left already.

She wouldn’t leave without telling me, right?
Or…was she that angry?

“Kim!!” I kept calling and running around.

Mi cha (Cold-hearted):
I drove back to the party and parked my car alongside with others

I tried reaching for my veil but restricted myself. Was there any need for it?

And slowly, I opened the door and came out of the car.
I took in a deep breath and looked around. Where would I find her?

Just then, I saw a guy coming towards my direction, his eyes roaming about like he was looking for someone.

“Kim!!” He called and kept turning around until he finally got to where I was and his eyes dropped the moment he saw me.

“Kim!” He called with relief at first, but the next moment, confusion filled his face.

“K…Kim?” He stuttered, more like in a question.
I was a bit stunned.
Could the lady’s name be Kim?

“Why…do you look…different?” He asked.

Kim nana (Crazy)
I grunted out of my deep sleep and found myself lying on a cold floor.

I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling and wondered if I were home. But…the ceiling looked strange to me.

What?

I quickly sat up when I recalled what had happened – the strange boys and how I passed out.

I looked around and discovered I was in a strange room and funny enough, my hands and legs were tied.

“Hey!!” I yelled.

“Who’s there??

“Come in here and get these ropes off me!”

The room was quiet and the only thing that answered me were my echoes.

Gosh! What the hell have I gotten Into?

I tried standing on my feet but the ropes wouldn’t let me and it wasn’t something I could lose.

Suddenly, the door opened and three guys walked in, one of them looking older.

I could recognize one of them – he was among the boys that made me pass out.

“Hello Mi cha” the older man said with a grin.

That name…why do they keep addressing me with that name? Why do they keep calling me Mi cha?

“Finally, its a pleasure to have you here with us”. He said and squatted in front of me.

“I’m…I’m not Mi cha. Who’re you? Let me go!” I demanded, trying to cloak my anxiety

Surprisingly, he laughed.

“Really? You’re not Mi cha? Maybe you’re my grandmother, then. I wonder why you had your hair cut and dyed. The red did look good on you” he said with a shrug, making me more confused.

What’s going on? What’re they talking about?

“If you don’t let me go, I’ll make sure I pluck out your eyes and feed them to your dogs” I blurted and the rest of the boys laughed.

“You’re in my territory, Mi cha. And you’re completely under my mercy for now.

“Anyway, I wonder what Josh will do when I tell him his beloved princess is with me” he said with an ugly smile.

Mi cha’s Pov:
“Why…do you look…different?” He asked and my heart skipped.

Oh, she*t! Now, I get! He’s my target – the same guy I’d come to kill but caught him k-ssing my look-alike.

Obviously, he’s referring to my look -alike.

“Kim?” He called again, already looking perplexed.

“Wh…What’s wrong? What happened to your hair? Your….Clothes.
What’s going on?”

“I’m…I’m not Kim” I shook my head in bewilderment.

“I’m not who you’re referring to”.

He looked at me for a while then, suddenly scoffed.

“What’re you talking about? What do you mean you’re…not Kim?” He asked perplexed.
How do I prove it to him?

“I’m looking for her as well. I…came to the party for someone but coincidentally, I bumped into her. She looks exactly like me.

“I ran away at first, but decided to come back and find out who she was. Then, I met you”.I enthused and his eyes w¡dened in shock.

“You…you’re an Imposter” he staggered backwards.

“What have you done with my friend?”

Rebecca’s Pov:(Step-mom)
“What’re you talking about, Mal-chin?” I grouse on the phone as I stood in the reception, trying to pay my bills.

“What do you mean she almost fought with you?”

“I’m telling you, mum. She punched me today – You wouldn’t believe it. If not for the presence of my friends, we’d have gotten involved in a serious fight.” He said hastily and I scoffed.

“But how’s that possible? That lady’s completely changed. The Kim I know couldn’t even look at me in the face. But now, she’s ready to fight me.”

“Exactly my point, mum! She’s changed; she’s different! She isn’t the Kim we know. Something’s different about her”.

I kept quiet for a while, thinking about it. Indeed, there was something strange about that lady now.

“Here’s your receipt, ma’am” the receptionist said as she stretched out the piece paper to me.

I collected it from her and got hold of the grocery bags.

“So, what are you suggesting?” I asked over the phone as I started walking out of the grocery store.

‘I seriously don’t know, mum. But I’m determined to know what happened to Kim. How she suddenly became strong and fearless within the twinkle of an eye. I really want to know…”

I was so engrossed in the call that I didn’t notice a lady coming in front of me.

I bumped into her.

Oh, damn!

“I’m sorry” she quickly apologized and tried helping me with my bags which had fallen on the floor.

“Its nothing” I said with a sigh and awaited her to pick up the bags.

She did and handed them to me.

“Thank you” I mumbled and looked into her face and her eyes were dilated.

Oh my God!!

Whaaat??

“Rebecca?” She called in a shocked tone and I felt my head spinning.

No;
This is not possible!

Jeremy’s Pov:
I leaned on the car with my hands crossed
, finding it so hærd to believe everything.

The lady who claimed her name was Mi-cha – had explained a few things to me, trying to convince me that she was different from Kim.

Although, it was crazy, but seemed true. I mean, this lady in front of me was having a different hair, different dress and style.

So, how the hell is that possible?? Are they really twins or it’s just a coincidence?

“Where’s she? I need to speak with her” she demanded again and that was when my mind flashed back to the fact that I had no idea where Kim was.

“I…I don’t know. She just left the party and I’m yet to find her.” I replied, worried.
I didn’t even have her contact

Damn!

“She was here with me” the lady said and started walking slowly, her eyes fixed on the floor.

“This was where I last saw her before I left”.

She walked quietly and stopped at a particular s₱0t, picking up something from the floor.

It was a wrist band.

“What is it?” I asked, curious at the way she stared at it.

“They were here” she muttered.
“I know who this belongs to”.
