I Fall In Love In Another Dimension
Chapter 36

Silence reigned along the way, broken only by a few murmurs that escaped to then be lost behind the cutting glances of the soldiers guards.

He was surprised to see the new laboratory was near, equipped with a series of scientific apparatus and also artifacts of witchcraft, showed the desperation of Altares to win the war, they could even see a corpse provided with some wires that gave to understand that someone had occurred to invent zombie soldiers, or some hieroglyphics in some ancient stones that surely were investigated to discover some powerful weapon lost in the great cellar of time. Estiben entered walking hard so that all the scientists stopped what they were doing so that they would not look and say in wonder:

-One by one the scientists went to greet him, even those who had not met him, he looked like a rock star who for a few moments forgot the problems, although the clock was still counting down,

There was no one who had the knowledge to disarm or avoid the explosion, when they questioned someone, they simply answered nervously, "Estiben, he can solve it", but he still had no idea what to do, the only possible thing would be to make a portal to evacuate the largest number of people or the disposable option bomb, because it would reach the other dimension destroying that city with a similar number of people, but he did not know if he could get it in time, since the clock did not stop its deadly countdown.

He took control of the laboratory, divided the scientists into teams to assign certain tasks, and ordered to take the bomb as far as possible in a horse-drawn carriage whose pilot were carrots in front of them and a whip that automatically whipped them every turn of the wheel, he began to square a particle oscillator with Dr. Yací, taking the opportunity to question him:

-How is it that you work for this animal?

She continued tightening some nuts, looked at him, raising her eyebrows as a sign that it was not the right time for questions, although she decided to answer him anyway:

-normal, it's what you would do, play one adapt, it was that or he would have killed me.

Estiben stared at her for a few seconds to tell her, gritting his teeth like an enraged jackal:

-and why didn't you warn me or leave me a note?

She was about to answer him, when she was interrupted by a somewhat peculiar scientist who recklessly said:

-but if you are supposed to love each other, why do you keep so many secrets from each other?

Estiben looked at her, denying the words of the nosy scientist:

-I have no secrets from you, because I love you.

Smiling Yací approached him and caressed his face with her left hand, saying to him:

-you are very tender, so cute, so deluded, so innocent, to love, does not mean loyalty, not always the one who loves you, wants the best for you or keeps fidelity to you, it is simple human nature, it is as they say "as I love you I beat you", in the same way I could omit information to avoid hurting or losing you.

Estiben, who was hiding to wipe his eyes flooded with tears so that she would not notice, replied to her:

-because women became so tough, poetry and detail-oriented men went out of fashion, it is said that knights did not end, but were transformed into ogres by witches like you.

They both laughed nervously, while they moved their hands like pianists squaring some wires.

He looked at her again, this time with tenderness, he loved her very much, so he asked her:

-how did it go at the hospital?

She answered with a frown:

-How did it go, well, badly, those people chuzaron me, they gave me horrible remedies, they prayed all day, they even took me measures for the coffin, when the only thing I expected was to see you, but uselessly I waited for you, only this madman of Altares arrived who kidnapped me to take revenge of you, he tortured me, he almost killed me, until little by little I gained his confidence, I convinced him that I would be more useful as the doctor doing experiments than as an object of vendetta. Again, the old scientist put in his spoon:

-and what was the name of the experiment in which you sucked the supreme leader's mouth?

I lay there enraged, I looked at the busybody very badly, while Estiben, between astonishment, disappointment and curiosity, asked him: -doctor why do you lie to me so much?

The cold silence invaded the room, only the sound of the tools and the clock that marked the countdown of the bomb, which now seemed little compared to the tension between the pair of scientists, that after a long pause at last, the doctor sighed deeply and looking at him, told him the first thing that came to her mind, that she could say to him:

-well, I had to do what was necessary to survive, because you abandoned me, if only you had stayed with me no matter what, what if I had died and we could never see each other again, all I did was imagine that you were caressing me, the memory of your kisses was the miraculous medicine that made me recover, all day I looked at the door waiting for you to enter, I wanted to see your beautiful smile, hear your pretty voice, but bitterly only the doctors came in, the only change was when the command of Altars that came to kidnap me, they took me through the jungle where my wounds from the heat or maybe the bugs, got infected, I almost died several times, I just wanted to see you, I firmly believed that you would be looking for me, that maybe if we took longer you would reach us and rescue me, you would be the knight Savior of this damsel in distress.

Estiben ducked his face and said to him:

-but you didn't have to sleep with him.

Yací looked at him furiously to shout at him:

-that's not true! You treat me like a vagabond bitch, I guarantee you that I did nothing wrong with the leader, in fact Altares disgusts me, not because he is ugly but because he is a ruthless genocide whose ego has no limits and he is also an insensitive pig, however, thanks to him I... Unfortunately, his speech was interrupted by the scientists, who announced that all the tasks were finished, as well as theirs. All that remained was to set up the portal and try to save as many inhabitants as possible.
