Unforgiven Sins

BenChua’s POV

I wish Cinyla could get to her friends’ place. But I couldn’t be bothered even though she sent me a text message that she was fine and she was along with Ruby.

I just don’t understand how other people can enter my resort, it’s exclusive and I have a lot of security guards.

After sipping my hot coffee, I went straight to the CCTV office. I wasted no more time, I had to find out who that man was. How did he get in here and what is his real purpose?

It’s close to my office but the main office is right on the ground floor; because to see everything better compared to the other side my access is limited. The road is wide, and I also have many CCTVs around because I want to keep the entrances and exits to my resort closed.

I entered the white room where I saw the unconscious security guard. “Mr. Diego!” I shouted and he stood up quickly and forced his eyes open. “Y-Yes sir!” He was adjusting his clothes and looking at me.

“Sorry sir, I don’t want to fall asleep during my duty. I know you’re angry and it’s too early to rest, I’m sorry. The coffee I drank earlier had a strange effect,” he explained, seeming to give me a clue.

“What do you mean? Where did you get coffee?” I asked her while observing the large screens in front of me that I didn’t see anything unusual.

“It’s just there in the pantry, sir, there’s no one else and before I brewed, I exchanged with the new security guard, Mr. Gelo Santiago.”

It made me think because before becoming a security guard here at the resort itself, everyone passed by me first. I am the one who will say yes or no if the person that I will hire is qualified or not.

“Who is Diego Santiago? When did he start and where is his destiny?” I asked Mr. one after another. Diego.

“Just now, sir, he always said he was at the entrance. Is there a problem?” he asked.

“Nothing. Did you eat your breakfast? If not, leave me here and bring me 1 bottle of water after you eat. ” I gave him the opportunity to eat first because I feel that I need to explore this CCTV area by myself to find out more. I know what really happened. It’s not that I don’t trust my security, I also know that he’s hungry.

“Really sir? Alright, I’ll just eat, and I’ll be right back with your water. Thank you very much,” He left smiling. When he finally left, I quickly faced the flat screen of our CCTVs. From the top to the middle, I check those who enter and exit my resort.

I was slow to play the video and was careful to look. Nothing unusual but I feel different about the new security guard. I have no recollection of receiving such a name. Instead of thinking that unknown man, in the last screen in my front on the right side. I noticed something, there was a man walking and he was wearing the uniform of my security guard.

I focused on this video, because at first, he was talking to the security guard at the entrance, but the strange thing is that this video seems to be broken.

Damn! What happened?

I tried to start the video again, but nothing seemed to change the speed of the conversation and in the middle, a security guard actually came up.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hi sir, this is the one he’s asking for. Is there a problem?” I stopped and looked at my right side. “Oh, Mr. Diego you are here. Nothing, thank you for this water.” I smiled and stood up.

I acted normal because I didn’t want him to think there was a problem, I can manage this. “Alright sir, thank you very much for watching and I’m sorry.” I patted his back. “No worries, sir, I also have a check and I know you need to eat too. Don’t worry next time there will be two of you here so that your duty can be conversational.”

It almost fell to its knees in overwhelming gratitude. But I didn’t let that happen because I care too much about all my security guards. Almost all of them. I smiled, “I need to go, Mr. Diego, thank you and I will check for a new security guard.” He nodded and I completely left holding a bottle of water.

As I was walking I noticed something strange about the tissue stuck to my water. I stopped and it seemed that something strange was written.

I didn’t understand anything because there were only numbers and symbols on it, I just put this tissue in my pocket. I will find someone who can read it. I took a deep breath and continued walking to the 2nd floor.

**********

I am currently here on my sofa bed; I was fitful with the random code that I have seen in the tissue this morning. I was almost overcome with hunger until my phone on the table rang.

I immediately got it and touched the answer button.

“Hello?”

“Hi Ben, how are you? I am so sorry to scare you, but I just came there a while ago to check both of you. Both of you are young now.”

I stood up to the man speaking, I don’t know him, and I check the number and it is from a stranger.

“Who are you, man? If you are insane and calling the wrong number. I am so sorry; I am not in the mood to answer all your questions!” I try to calm down even if I feel that I will hit a high level of angry mood.

“Answer me, who are you?”

“You don’t need to know me, Ben. Soon, I will be there. Take care,” he said and ended the line without allowing me to say a few words.

WTH! WHO IS HE?

I almost dropped my phone somewhere but chose to take a deep breath to calm myself down.

I hadn’t completely calmed down when my phone rang again. Instead of taking it and answering easily, I decided to go straight to the bathroom to calm down. At the same time, a tissue with a letter from the bottle earlier fell to the floor.

I took it and tried to think, but no matter how hard I looked I couldn’t understand anything. I just put it on the table. I will call someone who knows about this, or I will ask Cinyla if maybe she knows something.

Because I thought of Cinyla, I checked my phone if she texted me or called me. Until I see three missed calls coming here.

“No! She called a while ago, damn BenChua!” It was one call after another, but I didn’t answer because I thought the wrong caller was the one who called in my mind just now.

Then I received two messages coming from her. I read it and she spoke.

Hi Sir BenChua, are you busy right now? Can we meet later at your office? I need to say something.

My heart almost skipped a beat, as if there were horses running inside and I was frozen for a moment.

And her last message to me.

See you later sir, I hope you can. I need to see you.

I sat in the chair next to me, holding my heart and many questions seemed to play in my mind.

What would you say, Cinyla? I hope it’s good news, I hope it’s about us.
