"You look great!"Lena commented when Leo was standing in front of the mirror trying on his new suit.
"Why don't you go with your friends? I'm busy."Leo use to party a lot, but lately he just prefer to stay at home and drink alone.
"Come on! You use to love it! Besides, it's Ivy's birthday. You know that girl? Her mother owns a publishing house. I heard they have publish a novel lately, and it's a big hit."Lena was busy picking the jewel for her dress.
"Yeah? What it is about?"Leo asked out of curious.
"Oh, it's like a girl met a guy on her engagement party and this guy was a serial killer...something like that, you know....."Lena was not aware of the reaction of her brother.
"Wait! What? Tell me more about it."Leo became serious after hearing what his sister said.
"That's what Ivy told me, I didn't read the book, you know I don't like this kind of story. You can ask the author yourself, Ivy said she invited her as well."Lena finally find the earrings that matched her dress.
"Well, how do I look?"Lena turned around and ask Leo.
"You look stunning!"Leo suddenly became so delighted, Lena even saw a different light in his eyes. But, she didn't think too much. It's a good sign that her brother could cheer up.
......................
The party was held in the big villa of Ivy which located in the middle of a mountain. People could see the beautiful sunset from the garden. Nice view, nice food.
Leo had no interest in all these luxury stuff, from the fist moment he stepped in the party, he had been looking for some one.
In the villa, there was a big painting hanging on a wall. The painting was an dark blue eye painted in abstract style. When the midnight was close and almost all the guests were outside in the garden watching the firework, Leo found her in front of the painting.
She was facing the painting, with a glass of wine in her hand. The light of the fireworks flashed on her and made her look like part of the painting as well.
Leo had a strange feeling at that moment. He missed her so much and he was also angry for her leaving him without a word.
"When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks into you. It's not an eye, it's an abyss in the sea, you know. That's why it called Abismo."Emma didn't even turned her head when Leo went near her and took the wine from her hand.
"Yes, that place in Honduras. So, which one of us is the abyss?"Leo drank the wine and said.
"Maybe we are just two poor kids who looked long into the abyss."Emma smiled, still looking at the painting.
"We need to talk. You owe me the truth."Leo finally lost his patience, he grabbed Emma's arm, pulled her close and forced her to look at him.
"I'm nothing like you expected."This Emma was not like the girl Leo used to know. She was cool and determined.
"Well, let's see."
/This is wrong! This is so wrong! You can not do this to her!!!/
Leo's conscience was blaming him while he tied up Emma with his tie and put her into the back seat of the car. But the craziness and the dark side of him had gained control of his body when he started the car and drove away.
