8: Santiago Ortiz?

She was strangely attracted to the person sitting beside her by the window side, it was the same feeling as when she saw the picture of Santiago Ortiz.

But why is that so? The person was covered from head to toe, and the only skin that was exposed was his eyes, even though they were closed as he seemed to be in a deep sleep, she could still feel attracted to him. Just what the hell was going on in her damn mind?

' Hey! I think I have contracted some serious illness after getting here. Just like how my heart was beating when I first saw that Santiago's picture, it's happening again. I think I was too lonely while dating that guy that every person I am crossing makes me want to jump on them. Am I losing my mind finally? ", It was the first concern she had after realising how this person was giving her the same vibes as that criminal.

And instead of trying to decrease her concern bar, that invisible person started speaking some nonsense once again. [ You are right, I am sure you have contracted that serious illness. You have an illness, if you don't get life energy, you will die. It's the reason why you are lusting over everyone you meet eyes with ]

Nuri put her hand on her face as she didn't want to show her distressed face to anyone. Well, she was wearing a mask, anyone would hardly see her expression but she was really anxious and embarrassed.

He did tell her earlier that she needed life energy to stay alive as her condition was very rare and she was a pire human at that. But she had no idea that it would be this worse.

As she was still mourning over her current life, something heavy fell on her shoulder. When she looked at her right side, it was the man whose head fell on her shoulder, he was in deep sleep.

At first she was only feeling her heartbeat going wild, but as his head fell on her she became even more excited. Her whole body was shuddering from unknown excitement, her curiosity reached its peak as she demanded to see his face.

Her hands automatically moved close to his face, as if she was ready to pull out his mask anytime soon. Surely, she was getting wild and giving in to her desires.

[Stop! Stop at your track. See the place before you commit anything. We are in public, if you even make a single mistake, we will be found out by them. So think before you act, don't be impulsive]

' You have so much to say and I don't wanna listen to you anymore. I have done everything you told me. I just wanna see his face, it will be a quick moment, what will go wrong anyway. You are worrying for nothing. Calm down '.

There was no spirit or anything that had possessed her at the moment, she was acting on her impulse. The excitement was killing her and her curiosity couldn't be held back. In other words, she had lost it...

It was merely ten minutes since she boarded in the bus, yet she was already ready to act on her impulse.

[That's what I am saying right now. Your curiosity will definitely kill you if you don't back off now, you will regret it. It's merely been ten minutes since we boarded and you are already trying to show your humanly traits to everyone. Maybe you are kind hearted but others are not the same]

She was so ready to unmask the man sleeping on her shoulder, but his words stopped her at bay. She finally realised the reason why she was on the bus. She slapped her hand and backed off from him.

She would have woken him or put his head against the window as it was the greatest support for his sleeping position. But she remained all close up and let him sleep on her shoulder.

After like ten minutes she also fell asleep and eventually her head fell on his head while he was still on her shoulder.

After one and a half hours,

It was the man who woke up first and realised there was something heavy on his head, he didn't hesitate to shove her head on the side violently. Nuri swung with the blow and it didn't affect her much, she was sleeping soundly.

But only after that did he see where and in whom he was sleeping. He had literally dumped his heavy head on the shoulders of the delicate lady. He slowly and gently removed himself from her shoulder and then started looking out of the window.

' How come I fell asleep in such a crowded place? I hope no one noticed I am here on this bus. The cops are still after me, I need to find a shelter. I guess his place is an appropriate place for a criminal like me. I have no choice but to get a shelter from him ', Santiago thought in his mind as he was still looking outside and not appreciating the beautiful scenery.

The only thought he had in mind was to find a suitable place for him to crash at the moment.

He is one of the best criminals who kills without showing any clue. But somehow someone filmed him and then spread it on the social media.

He is not an evil person, he is just entitled to kill those who do evil deeds, yet he was the only one to receive the punishment. It's unfair.

They were already very close to the last station. Nuri finally regained her consciousness. At first, everything was blurry in her right but slowly everything became clear.

' Where are we right now? How much time before we reach the last stop? ', She asked the invisible man.

[ Just ten more minutes ]

Apparently, she held her head lower after waking up, which raised curiosity of Santiago. He knitted his thick brows together when he saw her looking down toward the ground.

" Why are you looking down? Have you done something bad for you to not meet people's eyes? ".
