Isabel's Turn - Snippet 90

Isabel came back into the room and confronted Salvador with his mud-caked shoe as evidence of his complicity in the present zombied state of Walter, because, according to her, Salvador and Walter disappeared at the same time, during the piano playing. Salvador still denied having anything to do with Walter's condition.

When Walter came back to consciousness he screamed and shouted like a mad man telling everybody that Don Pedro Jose Donoso is alive, and is in this house, because he saw him. He told them that it was Don Donoso who has been playing the piano all this while.

When Salvador came downstairs and offered to drive Walter to the hospital for medical attention, he became hysterical and hid behind the chair, saying Salvador should not touch him. He began to weep profusely, saying that Don Pedro Donoso wanted to kill him.

After Salvador left the house, Antonio ran after him, and he asked why he came back was to avenge himself of all his enemies, who did wickedly against Don Pedro Donoso? Salvador told him that he was not Don Pedro Donoso, but Salvador Sorenzo.

On the way to the office, The tyre burst, and Simon offered to change the tyre. After changing the tyre, Salvador gave Simon some money, and Simon felt insulted. But Salvador told him with the exact same tone of several years ago, by the late Pedro Donoso, that it is the reward for his labor, and for purchase of snickers for training at the gym.

Simon had a flashback of several years ago when he helped Don Pedro Jose Donoso to change a burst tyre of his car, and how the old man said the same thing that Salvador was saying now. Simon was unsettled by the striking similarity of events and statements of Salvador.

By the time the doctor came to examine Walter, he announced to Isabel that Walter is suffering from an emotional shock precipitated by a strange encounter, similar to what three other people (Antonio, André and Valeria), have experienced in the house. The doctor said this cannot be mere coincidence and he queried Isabel if she knew the source of this strange nervous break down. Isabel avoided a direct glance at the doctor and she too became troubled, as she suspected that Salvador was the mystery behind these mysterious drama.

Later when Isabel went to probe Walter about the source of his shock, he whispered with fear that a ghost cannot be accused. He told him that the ghost of Pedro has returned with fury to exact vengeance from all his enemies, including Isabel, and that ghost would not rest until all the enemies of Pedro are consumed and destroyed.

Isabel was frightened by the possible truth in Walter's statement... Isabel shouted with tremor in her voice that it is impossible... she dreaded what could happen afterwards, because, obviously, she is next in line of attack by this mysterious ghost... it is her turn... see how it unfolds in the next Snippet 91 at the full story sitemap.
