Chapter 15 - THE Tristan (1/2)
Ralph called Delilah to help him to attend the recent scalding mark on Alicia's back. Although Tristan did manage to put ointment on her back but he's still wasn't convinced after he saw how bad it looks. Not long, Delilah came and the moment she saw Alicia she broke into tears.
”Oh no,,,Alicia, i'm so sorry. I shouldn't have let you go to that blind date. I'm so sorry my dear.” Despite her cries, Alicia didn't seem to wake up any longer after Tristan left. He must have put a spell on her. Delilah carefully took off her dress and roll her so she can avoid sleeping on her back removing the ointment for the scalding. Her backs that are filled with endless scars are now added with big red mark covering the previous scars.
”Who did it?” Delilah whispered as she sat next to Ralph who's now looking that he aged 10 years older.
”Those b******. I should have destroyed them back then. I shouldn't have listen to Alicia. I should have just destroyed them.” He said in regret. His eyes have turned red as if he's ready for a big hunt.
”Sometimes i wished she wasn't so soft with people. But its not in her nature to kill people. Her hand is for healing and give a person's life. Don't taint it with that dirty blood. One day, they'll receive their karma.” She consoled her husband. Plus, Alicia once told her it is a waste of time and energy to have her revenge. She would prefer to just go on and live her life. She have a complete family and perfect friends. What else can one wish for? The revenge kind of stuff is only for those who's still unsatisfied with one's life. Delilah had to agree with what Alicia said. But that doesn't mean the people around her will understand. For example, Ralph. In his eyes there's no mercy for that kind of people. It's best to mess them up more before tossing them aside until they can no longer be able to stand on their own leg.
”Tristan will handle it from now on. I lost my chances. Heck, he almost kill me the moment i step foot in her apartment.” Ralph scrub his face dryly with his hand and smile at Delilah. However, it was Delilah turn to frown.
”Tristan?” She asked.
”It seems there's no need for a blind date for Alicia. Unless you wanted to make an enemy with Tristan. I definitely can't beat him.” Ralph hug Delilah's shoulder attempting to kiss her lips but was stopped when her hand covering his lips.
”Tristan? You mean THE Tristan?” She exclaimed. Almost yelling at her husband if it wasn't for Alicia who's sleeping on the bed.
”I don't think i have any other Tristan in my friend list.” He replied nonchalantly as if it wasn't a big thing.
”Wh...how...what? Are you making your sister a sacrifice to him? Do you know what people say about him? What were you thinking? You're her brother!!! And she's...” She was about to scold her husband some more but Ralph end up kissing her senseless. Not giving her any opportunity to escape. It was a good way to distract her as well. He couldn't take any of her questions nor scolding. Plus, it is rather satisfying method.
