Must Read: Cyber lover - Season 1 - Episode 68

WHAT HAPPENED IN MICHAEL’S APARTMENT
MICHAEL was just coming out from the
bathroom when the doorbell rang. “I am
coming!” He was sure it was Brenda because
nobody else knew he was in town. Michael
had been eagerly waiting to see her since he
announced to her that he was back over the
phone, not only because he was sure that
what she was about to tell him was extremely
important, but also because he really missed
her. He also wanted to know how she had
been faring since the last time they were
together, given the psychological trauma she
had been going through. He was also thinking
of what he was going to tell her. How he was
going to deliver the bombshell he was about
to tell her. His heart rate began to beat faster.

He hoped that she wouldn‟t hear it. He
hurriedly put on black jeans and without
bothering to wear a shirt, he went to open the
door.
Brenda was standing in front of the door
looking like a real beautiful angel.
The effect she had on him was even stronger
than he had imagined. He felt his legs go
weak and thought he won‟t be able to control
his emotions with Brenda in his home. All he
desired at the moment was to shower her with
all the love his whole energy could give. He
immediately determined in his mind that
nothing was ever going to take her away from
him. Not even that thing he saw making love
to her. And he will help her resolve whatever
problem was bothering her since he had been
away. “Brenda, nice to see you, you look so
beautiful. Come in.” „God!‟ thought Brenda. He
was not only looking cute; his body was also
something else. She felt like hugging him and
holding him forever. “Welcome back, Michael,”
she said and gently stepped into the
beautifully furnished sitting room. Everything
about the house reminded her of peace and
the psychological effect it had on her was very
soothing.

It hurt her to know that she had actually come
to stop Michael from loving her. “I hope you
had a nice trip?” she asked as she looked
around the house and made herself
comfortable on one of the seats. She was
wearing a nice short dress and as she sat
down, her voluptuous legs came into his full
view. The three paintings behind Michael‟s
electronics set caught her attention. They were
so beautiful, especially the one in the middle.
It was a large beautifully framed painting of
Michael‟s facial features. She liked it. “It was
okay. I spent half of the time I had there
thinking about you.” Then he slowly said, “I
missed you, Brenda.” She looked sharply at
him. He was serious and she felt more pain.
The look in his eyes showed that he meant
every word. “Michael, we need to talk.”

“I know. Let me dress up, I will be right back.

Meanwhile feel free take any drink you want
from the fridge.” He quickly left the sitting
room.
She didn‟t bother to take anything. She would
probably throw up if she did. Michael came in
a few minutes later. He was now wearing a
white T-s--t and smelling really good. “What is
bothering my princess; I hope Cain is not
trying anything funny?” He sat down very
close to her, “Can you spill it now? I am all
ears.” She looked intensely at him and felt like
crying. She didn‟t understand why nature was
unfair to her, everything about Michael looked
perfect and she would love to have him in her
life; she would love to take the risk even
though she wasn‟t sure he if he would treat
her like her past lovers. She took her time and
told Michael everything about Cain, her ex-
lovers and Inspector Jack. She wasn‟t
courageous enough yet to tell him that his life
was in danger. Michael‟s heart was beating. “I
heard of these killings but I didn‟t know you
were somehow connected to it all,” he finally
let out. “I also saw you the other day doing
something strange. Now I know it was Cain.”
“What was I doing,” she wanted to know.
“Don‟t worry, I didn‟t tell anyone…” “Michael,
what was I doing?” “You…you were making
love to…to nothing…empty air.” “Oh, my God!”
She shamefully hid her head in her hands. “He
was always coming into my room to…to make
love to me every night! I didn‟t know what to
do, Michael!”
“Don‟t worry, dear,” said Michael, trying to be
helpful despite the strange situation they were
both in. “I – I wanted to end our relationship
today due to this…but…but I have decided not
to…we can work out something,” he continued.

“Besides, I think Cain is your invisible lover…
you must know that by now?” She simply
nodded. “This means he has been killing your
ex-lovers…. Do you know why? Maybe to
avenge their leaving you?” Brenda was already
crying. “Cain said he was feeding on my anger
and hate for my past lovers. I am not aware
of any hate that is so deep that I would want
someone to die,” she sobbed. He stood up and
went over to console her. “I believe that there
is a solution to all of these. All we need is to
be strong and think out something. He kills
your ex-lovers not your present lovers. That
means I am safe, for now…maybe he killed
them because they left you and hurt you in
the process.” “He wants to come after you too,
Michael.” “What? Why? I didn‟t do anything,”
Michael said in defense. He was still holding
her, not planning to let her go. “Guess that
rubbishes my theory then,” he bem0aned and
scratched his head in frustration.

“He said he wasn‟t going to compete with any
human for my love.” She looked up at him,
“Michael, the only way you can escape Cain‟s
wrath is to denounce your love for me.” “But I
can‟t do that. I can‟t denounce my love for
you. That is not possible.” He stood up,
obviously scared and confused. “You are the
best thing that has ever happened to me. I
can‟t just let you go because of some…
computer stranger.” They both knew that Cain
was no „computer stranger.‟ He could
physically make love…and kill. “You have to
leave me, Michael!” Brenda began after some
time. “This is a matter of life and death. If
you don‟t, you will give him the opportunity to
happily kill again.” Tears flowed from her eyes
as she spoke. “I am in love with you, too,
Michael, but we just have to let go. I am sorry
it has to be this way. I wish I had never tried
to chat with anyone on the internet.”
He instantly felt guilty. It was all his fault. He
had asked Brenda to spend her time on the
internet so that she wouldn‟t be alone when
she was heartbroken. However, she had
started making love to the invisible entity in
her room before meeting him. So, it was not
her café visits that caused it.

Her cyber lover would have found another way
to contact her if she hadn‟t gone to the
internet. This reasoning evaporated his guilt.

“Besides, there are other issues concerning
your safety that should be our major concern
for now,” she added. “What issue?” he asked,
still not believing that he had to leave Brenda
for some internet ghost. He couldn‟t imagine
leaving her. It was like digging for treasures
for years and being asked to throw them away
after finding them. “Nimrod. The guy you told
the cops about four years ago. Remember the
story you told me?” “Yeah,” he agreed.
“Nimrod is still out there, and still looking for
me.” “You know the cops think he‟s the guy
who murdered Glen? I think Inspector Jack
actually believes Glen‟s killing was related to
the story of my ex-lovers. He wants to see you
so that he can get more information about
Glen and Nimrod.” “How can he think they are
all connected?” Michael asked in anger, fear
and confusion. “You can‟t blame him,
Michael. It looks like a web; you, me, Cain,
Nimrod and Glen. People are dying, Michael.

Take your mind off me and concentrate on
helping the cops catch Nimrod. Remember you
told me that the bravest thing you had ever
done was getting him in jail. This is another
chance for you to do it again, Michael. You
won‟t have that opportunity if you don‟t
forget about me.” She was pleading with him.
“What are you talking about? I don‟t care
about being brave. All I care about is you.”
“No, he will kill you if you talk like that. I also
think Nimrod might be coming after you. We
have to stop you from being hurt from either
of them.” “Don‟t give me that nonsense.
Nimrod is not the issue here, you are the…”

There was a sharp knock on the door.

They both looked towards the door.
