Selfish love Chapter 22

Mariza's body started to shake in a continuous manner and the old man put back his phone in order to relax her nerves . He said in a slightly confused voice while patting her left shoulder, ''Okay just calm down and give me your home address'' the man was already irritated by the random remarks that the on-lookers were spouting .

Mariza coughed uncontrollably and tried to speak but her frail body could not endure even speaking a word and she was lying limply on the uneven road . She closed her eyes but that didn't help in the least as as soon as her eyes closed the horrible images and screams of what had happened enshrouded her mind .

She opened her eyes and sobbed despite her constrictive throat . Her hands were smeared with filth and dried blood was on her hands . Upon seeing the blood Mariza shivered at the terrifying memory . The old man appeared with a bottle of water and a long white scarf . Mariza was hiccuping repeatedly and he opened the lid before giving her the bottle .

Mariza grabbed the bottle with her weak hands and she gulped down the water in two sips . After drinking a little water her mind cleared a little but the throbbing in her head was similar to someone throwing pebbles on her body .

The man crouched down to where Mariza was lying and said in a soft tone, ''What's your name?'' his voice was curious . Mariza looked at him replied, ''Mariza'' her voice was broken .

He nodded his head and said, ''Can you explain to me what exactly happened?'' he then started to cover her body with that long scarf . Mariza made it easier for him by getting up a little .

Mariza shook her her before saying, ''She was my best friend I ruined everything'' her voice was guilt-ridden and lost . Mariza immersed herself in that horrid memory,

''Mariza he smells of alcohol please call someone'' Zolly said in a scared tone . Mariza stumbled a little before saying, ''What are you doing here with him?'' she asked Zolly in a slurred tone .

Mariza was completely drunk and her mind was not even registering a single thing . Zolly arms had bruises and her nose was bleeding . Her blue short dress was nowhere to be seen on her body . her clothing of bra and underwear was only left and Zolly tried to conceal herself with her hands but all in vain .

Mariza chuckled madly, ''What are you hiding? let me see'' she then collapsed to the floor with a loud thud . Tears were swamping Zolly's eyes and she couldn't believe what had happened to Mariza and why was she acting like this .

''Mariza tell Perrie to call someone this is not a safe place'' Zolly shouted while nearing closer to Mariza .

Mariza made a stern face instantly and said, ''Who is Perrie?'' while scratching her head then she made an 'o' with her mouth before laughing like a demented person .

She sauntered towards Zolly until she was face to face with her and playfully pinched her shoulder before slurring, ''You didn't tell me that you were a lesbian'' she then rolled her eyes .

Zolly closed her eyes while tears were pouring from her eyes .
