He walked away from her, and wore a better cloth.
“Now,,, Let’s talk” He bent down.
She nodded, crying.
“Yes. Yes. Let’s talk” She sobbed.
“Firstly, you don’t have to get too scared or is this your first time of getting paralyzed?”
“Excuse me?” She widened her eyes.
“I paralyzed you by kissing you” He smiled, dangerously.
Mimi swallowed hard.
“Paralyzed?? How?”
“I transferred the drug which caused your paralysis,, via kissing” He replied.
Mimi looked at him, from up to down.
“Then,,, why am I the only one like this? You…you should be affected too, right?”
“I took the antidote immediately after the kiss”
“Give me too. Please, give me the antidote…please…please” She begged in tears.
“On one condition” He whispered, looking at her phone.
“What? What? Tell me. I’ll do it all” She talked really fast.
He smiled.
“You and your friend should go live, and confess all your bad deeds”
“My friend? Go live? Confess what bad deeds? I don’t understand” She laughed, nervously.
He pulled her chin angrily.
“Gina! Both of you ruined a doctor’s life. Right or right?” He asked, slyly.
“Right. very right” She nodded.
“Good. Now, both of you should come together and make everything right” He whispered, grabbed her shaking fingers and unlocked her phone.
He went to her contact list and made a call to Gina.
“Hello, best!” Gina laughed.
“Hel…Hello Gina” Mimi chuckled. written by sommy pearl f.
“What’s wrong with your voice?” Gina noticed.
“Nothing really but I need your help. Can you gently come to my workplace. Meet me at-
“The female’s restroom” Ken whispered.
“The female restroom” Mimi gulped.
“Why? Did you see your menses?” She asked.
“Huh. Sort of. Just hurry, okay?”
“Okay” Gina chuckled and Ken ended the call.
“She’s coming. Let’s give her just 12 minutes” Mimi shivered.
Kev smirked and carried her.
“What are you doing now? Where are you taking to me?” She asked, fearfully.
“Stay here” He said, and dropped her on the high bed.
“Don’t go anywhere. My eyes are on you” He warned and walked away.
Mimi swallowed hard, in fear and looked around.

“Excuse me?” Kev tapped Gina from behind. She quickly turned around to see a man dressed in a ‘chef’ attire.
It was Ken though.
“How may I help you?” Gina gently asked, raising a brow.
“Are you here for Mimi?” He asked.
“Yeah. How…how did you know?” She asked.
“She just left and asked me to check if some girl called Gina is waiting here”
“Yes. Yes. I’m here for Mimi and I’m Gina. Where’s she now?” Gina asked, worriedly.
“She said she’s in room 312. Here’s the door card” He handed it to her.
“Thanks” She smiled and walked away.
“No,,, You,,, Thanks” He smiled watching her leave.

“Mimi?? Mimi?? I’m here now, okay?” Gina whispered and unlocked the room before entering.
She saw a Mimi sitting on a chair. Another chair was empty just beside her. A table was in front of them.
“Mimi?” Gina whispered, confused.
“Please, don’t touch me. I might fall. I’m feeble right now” Mimi sighed.
“Why? What going on?? Why are you sitting down here?” Gina asked.
“You’ll know later” Mini said.
“But first, sit with me” She added.
Gina sighed and sat closer to Mimi, on the empty chair. She opened her bag and took out the sanitary pad.
“I thought you needed this” She said.
Mimi rolled her eyes.
“Leave that out and just drink water to cool off”
” How did you know I got drained off and needed water?” Gina smiled, and looked at the bottle of water on the table, facing her.
“You ran using the staircase,, so… you ought to get thirsty”
“How did you know I used the staircase?” Gina asked, opening the bottle’s cork.
“I work here so I know when the elevator isn’t in use” Mimi answered.
“Yeah. I saw a writing on the elevator saying,,, Elevator in maintenance. Use the stairs instead” Gina explained, drinking the water.
Mimi swallowed hard watching her.
Everything was Ken’s plan. Everything right from start. It was a smart and well detailed plan.
The elevator was working in the first place. He wanted Gina to climb the staircase so that she would get really tired and thirsty and alas, drink the drvgged water.
Gina inhaled deeply after drinking half of the content.
“How do you feel?” Mimi whispered.
“Somehow though” Gina replied, chuckling.
“Try lifting your hand. Don’t stand. You might fall” Mimi warned.
“What do you mean?” Gina asked, and raised her right arm.
Without putting her arm down, it dropped on it own,, with no control.
She tried raising her arm again but she couldn’t.
“Mimi?? What’s happening to me? I feel-
“You have been paralyzed, dear friend”
“What!!”
Just then, the TV in front of them switched on and Ken showed.
“You wanna get healed? You wanna remain alive?? Now, listen well…” He said.
Gina swallowed hard and watched him. Mimi did the same.
After he finished talking, the girls looked at each other.
“Let’s start confessing” Gina muttered, almost crying.
Mimi sighed and nodded.
“Its over” She whispered.
“Start now. You guys will be going live, in 3,2,1….” Ken face left the TV screen and the next thing they saw was their reflection. written by sommy pearl f.
The TV was recording them, live.
“We are live now. Everyone should be watching us around the world” Mimi muttered.
“Yes. Let’s start now. This is really the end. No escaping” Gina shook her head.
“Wait. Can you take away the pad from the table first?? They would watch that too?” Mimi asked.
“What to do? I can’t take it away since my arms can’t move”
Mimi sighed, frustratedly.
“Let’s start confessing…” She muttered and Gina nodded.
