Chapter 27 - Never a dull day with a touch of a broken heart

We return back to the resort with mom waiting for us there with Mr Faruq as well. Mr George is waiting as well. They introduce themselves to Mr Newman.

“How is the honey moon? Son?” Mr Faruq

“uh..nothing!!!hahahahaah!!!” Amin

“Really are you sure, Mar?”

“…….” she blushed

“Alex?”

Amin is looking at me not to tell him

Mr Faruq hold my back

“Did he said it?”

I nod to him

“FINALLY SON!!!! YOU ARE BECOMING A MAN !!!”

“YOU ASSHOLE!!!!! DAD I”M NOT GOING BACK HOME I”M STAYING WITH MAR”S PLACE TODAY!!! Eh?!” Stupid asshole

“……..awww…..” Mariam is blushing

“REALLY!!!! THEN!!! WHEN WE WILL MAKE THE ARRANGEMENT!!!?”

“Uncle Faruq, they all will be at my house tonight, Amin is going to help us in preparation for the exam, I will not allowed that as long I’m here…”

Mariam pointed her middle finger🖕🏼💢 to me, serve you right😏

“Amin you have such good friends….” He is crying…

“Alex could you let Sylvia and Steward stay at your place again, because her cousin is leaving back to Ranau today”

“yeah…its okay…”

“Looks like fun…” Priscilla

I hold her shoulder

“You need to come as well….your grades is not improving…”

“Eh!?”

“Yes…good son, drag her…I will ask my driver to sent her to your home…Victoria…”

“Eh…but father!!”

“Not buts you are a student not playing around Alex is right, you should focus on your studies!!”

“It’s okay right mom?”

“Yeah, I’m cool with it…just for studies okay?”

“Yeah…”

“Yeah!!! More people!! In the house again!!” Hana

Priscilla maid drag her to be prepared

Mr George is talking to mom and it seems to be serious

“Hey mom where is Tama?”

“She is in my office now to be reassess her capability in her IQ and EQ, she is a genius her IQ is higher than any normal kid now…but her EQ is still in assessment”

Mom got a phone call

“Alex could you pick up Tama in my office because she has completed the assessment”

“Got it…”

“Kids!! Get ready we are going back to my house, don’t forget to bring your stuff..”

“Got it!!” Everyone

“I going to get Tama first you guys follow my mom back home”

“Okay!!”

I took my bike and head to the office, the Borneo Foundation Culture and History research Department in the Museum of Sabah. I arrived at the museum, Tama is with another person and she introduce herself

“I’m Gervina Puan Mas assistant, Tama have completed her assessment. Here is her report could you give to your mom.”

“Got it”

“You must be Alex, we are always talk about the son of Puan Mas, what he look like”

“………well see ya”

Me and Tama ride together, but this is her first time riding a bike. She wasn’t sure how to ride, she suddenly ride In front of me. It surprised me

“Uh…behind…Tama…” her boobs touch my face. While Gervina giggle looking at it

“She must see it strange riding it, Alex don’t be too hard on her!!!”

I drive slowly to see Tama is scared, she is holding tightly, I could feel her boobs. This feeling is nipples!! I ask her

“Aren’t you wearing a bra?”

“What is a bra?”

“Hah!!?” Oh yeah I forgot that she never wore this kind of clothing. Maybe I could brought her to a bra shop somewhere. Since we are in the city, I brought her to the shopping mall. I still have the money that mom brought.

“Come Tama follow me.”

“Okay…” I brought her to the bra shop

“Hi welcome to the triumph latest wear…may I know young lady what would you like?”

“Alex what is this?”

“uh…is an underwear…”

“What is an underwear?” The shop assistant reacted 😅 well she never knew about an underwear. But I’m curious now.

“Hey Tama? Did you wear an underwear during in school?”

“no..” gah!! Holy shit!! That means she’s gone commando!!

“ah..come on I’ll buy you some of these… go ahead and wear it immediately”

“Ok…” the shop assistant ask me

“Is it okay if I could help her?”

“Yeah..please…” I couldn’t do it because I’m not going to face a situation that could stain my eye.

The shop assistant then offer her an underwear I could hear their conversation

“Okay..try this…”

“Okay…”

“Your boobs is big though how old are you?”

“Alex told me I’m 15…”

“Quite a beautiful shape boobs” what the hell am I listening now..

“Okay nice fit, this is one of our best underwear and its a lingerie with lace. Hey!!! Wait!!”

She suddenly come out from the dressing room and show to me

“Hey Alex how do I look?” Her purple lingerie with a garter belt? She look erotic now what the hell am I thinking!!

“Hey Tama!! Get back in the room, yeah!! Its perfect now wear your clothes back will ya!!” I close my eyes

“Ey? Is not nice?” She is really close to me and the shop assistant is asking her to get inside the room, some of the guys is eyeballing at her. I had to stop this and I look at them

“HEY!!! WHAT ARE LOOKING HUH!!!!” I look at them like a gangster

The guys started to look away and scared, some of the got girlfriends pull them away from the place. Yeah she did make such an entrance. After the commotion we manage to get her right size and the shop assistant ask me

“You would like to take sets or a few?”

“Tama?”

“Maybe 2?”

“Uh.. take 3”

“Okay all is RM 200”

“Uhh.. okay…” I give her the money. I never knew lingerie is really expensive. I only bought a cheap boxer from a local supermarket. We went out from the shop but Tama is fascinate with the shopping mall. So I offer her to explore a bit more. We’re inside the Merdeka Mall where is a small mall, but at least she had some experience. The mall is an old design from the 70’s but at least it has its flair for shopping experience.

Tama look around and saw something that she is interested. A cotton candy, I bought for her and she loves it.

“A cloud candy!! Emmmmmm!!!!”

“You want to go back?”

“Could we stay longer?”

“Okay…a bit longer…”

“This place!! Come’ere Alex!!”

She is fascinated with the tribal shop selling traditional souvenir. She is enjoying window shopping. But she is wearing a long white shirt and short pants, that gives a fresh look but her shirt is a bit thin to the point I could see her purple bra. She then run towards another shop, that is another clothing stores.

“Can I try this shirt?”

“Uh..okay”

She suddenly strip her shirt in public. Everyone is surprised

“Hey!! Tama!! Don’t just strip here!!! Get in the dressing room!!”

“Uh ok…” I brought her to the dressing room where she tried her dress.

“Ummm Alex how do I wear this?”

“Huh!?”

“I don’t know how to wear this?” You got to be kidding me. I look at her and she is struggling wearing her dress. I always help Hana wear her dress so I had experience handling girls but she’s at the same age as me. Whatever I just treat her like Hana. I head inside. And she is only with the erotic lingerie that she bought just know. Holy shit!! She look sexy now, dammit!!! Please Allah protect me from lust!!

“Come on Tama here is how you wear this!!” I help her wear the shirt and the skirt. And I quickly left the dressing room.

“Is this nice?” She look cute in that dress.

“Uh yeah you look cute..”

“What is cute?” Yeah her vocabulary is not yet understand a bit

“Uh..pretty?”

“Yeah!! I want this!!” We bought it but I used my own money

“RM 20 thank you!!”

“Maybe its about time to return back…”

“Okay!!”

We rode back home its already over 2 hours here, oh shit I’m dead!! I quickly return back when I reach there, seems they already here. But the look on Priscilla and Sylvia say otherwise.

“Where have you been?” - Priscilla

“darling….” - Sylvia

“uh…I got a slight detour to buy some clothes for Tama”

“Hah?” Sylvia look at her, with jealousy

“That is a nice dress you bought for her…”

“Yeah Alex bought me this also” oh no, not the lingerie!! Please don’t

Priscilla and Sylvia look at it and they turn yandere glaring at me

“darling…you really bold that is a really nice looking lingerie…”

“Damn…a triumph….and its lace…” Priscilla

Mom head down and see it.

“Oh you bought for her I plan to buy her but I forgot…” yeah right mom, you purposely let me buy it right!!

“Yeah…never knew that underwear is really expensive”

“Then you know a girls need…but son you really are bold…”

Tama explain to them

“I show to Alex the underwear in front of him!!” GEH!!!TAMA!!!!!😱 don’t say it like that!!

“Kukuku!! Alex….you really are something you know…” Mariam

“Damn….you really are cold blooded…and…” Amin

“Stupid BIG BROTHER!!!” Hana

“Hah!! What gives!!” Holy shit I forget that this mean like a date with Tama but I treated her like a little sister!!

“Darling….” Sylvia look really scary

“Babe…” Priscilla is cracking her fist

Tama then explain again. Yes please explain that we are not on a date

“He bought me cotton candy and help me how to wear a shirt and skirt!!” Not like that!!!😱 you just make it worst!!!

“oh…darling…you even help her wear the dress?” Sylvia is emitting an aura that is really scary now.

“Babe….” Priscilla is eyeballing at me like some punching bag.

“And yes I loved him that he bring me to the shopping mall just now” oh hell no!! You adding fuel to the fire Tama!!

“Oh…we here doing our studies…and you went out having a date with Tama..darling…” Sylvia

“Not fair…you’re not even offer me to date in a mall…I’ve always wanted you to bring me to a mall” oh shit!!

“Hey Tama is like a sister me!! Come on you gotta believed it!!” I had to convinced them

“Big brother…is stupid beyond belief….”

“Yeah…he is stupid….”

“huh…never mind….girls you know what to do, Tama come inside you need to take a bath…”

“Hey!! Don’t leave me like this!!!” They leave me only Mariam and Amin is enjoying the view they even had chips eating there.

“Hey bro…I couldn’t back you up this time..those girls are worried sick that you came late”

“what a story I’m going to tell to Nat…again…kukuku” shut up bitch

“Darling…” she grip my arm really hard and she is smiling at me that look scary

“Babe…” she is holding my shoulder

What happen next is a lot of beating and pinching in and out. Mom purposely let it happen I had that feeling. When we back up, my face is filled with bruises, Sylvia is sulking in front of me while Priscilla is ignoring me.

“Hey mom I need to change…my clothes”

“Ok…Amin is teaching Bahasa Melayu, you join him okay…”

“Got it…” I entered my room and gone for a change. I took my books, but I hid one of the necklace inside. Since Uncle Usman install the wifi I check my emails inside my laptop. I saw a few message and see another picture. She is at the university smiling. But I read the message

“Love ya Alex…I miss you…”

I smile but it was a few days ago then and another message from Damien

“Homie…I hang around near UCLA and I just found Nat. She is with a guy, I tried to follow and damn she look like she is dating…bro you better find another babe!! She’s change”

I check the last message and this time is from Natalie

“Hey Alex.

I actually dated with this guy, I kinda like him as a guy, he is something, a professor from UCLA like my dad. But this time I wanted some space. Since you are not here, I just couldn’t bear it. I want some space this time, sorry….”

What the hell is that? Is she high? Or maybe because of… my heart really broke, I felt something had removed inside me. I feel regretted reading at that message. I started to cry. I felt it really broke me but I deserved it. Someone knock the door

“Hey Alex!! Hurry up!!” Its Mariam

I open up, she realise that I’m crying

“What happen!! Alex!? You look like you just seen someone died?”

“Ah its nothing…what’s up…”

“Honey!!”

Amin and Mariam went inside and lock the door.

“Hey!! What wrong? You know its just a joke just now!!” Mariam Its not that

“Its nothing…”

“bro…you look really down bro…”

“I told you its nothing…”

Mariam saw my laptop and I said to her

“Hey don’t read it!!”

Mariam look serious and said to me

She suddenly hugged me

“Alex…just cry ok…”

“Yeah…” I just close my eyes with a broken heart. Mariam did not said anything

“The last time I called her..she spouting some nonsense about a guy that she is dating and she is cool with…I ask her about Alex and she did not said anything…we had an argument then she just hung up, I tried to call a lot of times and her dad said to me that she need space…”

“Yeah…I understand that…”

“Then you just give up?”

“No…we still young Mar…she’s also wanted to find experience Mar…just leave it be…”

“You must follow me to LA after our semester end got it…”

Amin and Mar is like a family to me, they trying to comfort me. They waited for me to stop crying and ask me to clean-up hiding that feeling to Sylvia and Priscilla. We head to the living room as if nothing had happen. Mar and Amin is helping me to focus on studies, after 3 hours of revision and practice for the subject for PMR. Sylvia and Steward went back to Geoffrey, while Priscilla return back home. Mariam and Amin wanted to stay

“hey…we could hang around you know…” Mariam

“I’m okay…”

“Bro…”

“I said I’m okay” my smile is just to comfort them

“Okay just call us okay”

“Yeah thanks…” right now my mind right now is looking for another path for myself, I gotta find reason.

Yeah, I remember that Damien is looking for something how the hell he manage to find her.. but now I need to settle with Damien I need to make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid. He is like my own brother.

After Magreb and isyak prayers. Mom, Hana, Tama and Sam went to sleep, I head outside to train myself, and practice my boxing. I wanted more power, more than ever to protect the one that I cared.

100 push up, 100 sit-up, 100 squats, and constant boxing practice. I could not feel asleep maybe because I’m really frustrated because I could not settle this. I did with fist pushup for 100 times. Until late night. That is really want I want for now, to prepare myself when I’m LA. Wait for me Damien…

I still felt frustrated with this because I felt weak, I felt like a loser, losing myself because now Natalie is moving forward but I’m not. I need to focus myself to train even harder this time. I remember Mr Marcus taught me the basic fighting technique. The CQC from Mr Marcus. I train like a madman because of my own frustration I don’t blame Natalie because she is moving forward but I need to move forward as well. I don’t want to be left behind like this.

I practice punching the tree, I don’t feel a thing. But I know the my strength is growing what I really afraid is own darkness that engulfing me now. Now even the voice inside me is talking to me

“….Natalie is going to leave you behind, Hana is growing up as well, when all of them left you what else you want to protect…”

I shouted to my self

“SHUT UP!!!” I punch the tree it broke and collapsed. I started to gasp for air. That is what it means to be angry consciously. I return to sleep waiting for the teaching from Marcus.

The next morning I woke up early after subuh prayers, and started training based in the teaching from Mr Marcus. I continued with the 100 each of sit-up, push-up, squats and 30 mins intense suicide. Hana wanted to follow but I said to her

“Just do what I teach you before..”

“Big brother?”

“Sorry big brother is training hard right now…”

She just keep quiet and does her basic exercise mom called me

“Alex is time for school!!”

I head up and I only eat a little because the intense training I had now.

“Alex…that is something strange about this are you okay?”

“Never been better mom…”

“Okay come on lets go…”

“Can Hana go by herself today I going to ride the bike today…”

“Sure but back home early okay dad is going back today..”

“yeah..”

I ride the bike and head to my own short cut. I speed up towards the quiet road, the reason for this is let me focus without using my emotions. I know my speedometer is at 160kph.

Once I arrived at school early and head straight to the class room. I had a feeling that I need to change of pace. Mariam and Amin arrived,

“Hey Alex…you okay?”

“Huh..yeah I’m find…”

“We going to have a new physical education teacher today…”

“Yeah he look like a former soldier” don’t tell me its Mr Marcus

When all have arrived including Priscilla Mr Marcus arrived he look really intimidating like a drill sergeant.

“Stand!! Good morning teacher!!”

“Morning class!! Since this is physical education, we head out to the field interested?”

“Yeah!!!”

“Everybody change your clothes got it!!”

I head out and he whispered to me while passing

“After school at 3pm got it”

I nod at him. The physical activities seems normal except when he ask us to do an interesting activity

“Todays activity today is all about physical, we are going to pass by each at full speed without hitting got it!!”

Looks like everyone is fired up.

“But before that warm-up!!”

And he whistle, we run against each other in a gap of 100 meters, we speed up quicker than them. I passed by them easily while the others is not yet arrived.

Mr Marcus said again

“Good!! You could feel it and understand it right? now the tricky part…run again at full speed together without hitting”

Now it look dangerous we now preparing ourself, Amin and Mariam is there on the other side

“Go!!” We run together this time but most of us are struggling together some of them got hit each other but I manage to avoid it including Mariam and Amin.

“Seems you left behind some of your friends there…” Mr Marcus look at us and ordered us

“Since all of you did not even pick up your friends there, get me 20 squat now!!”

All of us were given squats punishment. Mr Marcus explain to us the reason

“Do you know why I start with this activity?”

“……something fun?” Amin

“Yeah it is fun but to work as a unit…physical education is not just using muscle but the heart as well so when I ask to start with this activity did you guys ever think how to avoid it?”

“uh….no”

“Maybe…just how to avoid…”

“Yeah but not as a group right?”

“no…” everyone😔

He smile and give us a very good advice

“This class is not just a class but a family, you guys are family even from a far, so start to think and act as a group not a single person to think…now let do this again..”

We did It again still the same only the difference is all of us discuss again how to avoid it, Mr Marcus did not punish us and said to us

“Good!! You have 10 second to discuss then try again!!”

We finally discuss on how to avoid it and we tried again. We go through and we manage to pass through without hitting each other. Mr Marcus called again

“Good now!! We do it this time 50 meters!!”

Its getting closer now, and we manage to avoid it, and Mr Marcus said again

“Good now the last one 10 meters!!”

This time is really close and we manage to pass through only by a bit.

“Great job, now rest!”

We rest while Mariam and Amin talked to me

“Hey bro, you okay?” Amin

“Yeah…”

“This is a strange course for us…feels like we in the military…” Mariam

“Yeah”

After 5 mins Mr Marcus called us back and ask us to make the last activity for today

“This is synchro, its all about systematic rhythm…do what ever moves you want but need to be synchronise!! Got it!!”

“Alright!!”

“Divide yourself to 3 people among all”

Mariam and Amin with Maya is one team, while Me, Priscilla and Hanie. While others I preparing themselves to make their own moves.

“All members do what ever moves you want in 35 seconds, the rules is synchronise not solo for the punishment for not following what I have instructed is 20 squats, 50 jumping jacks including 1 min suicide…got it!!!”

“EH!!! That is crazy!!! A dance battle!! Nice!!” Everyone is excited and Mariam ask whether could have music and Mr Marcus said

“Sure not a problem, but who will handle it?”

“Honey!! He will handle it…”

“Ohh!!! Bro back me up!!”

“Fine…”

“Wait a second, Amin and Mariam come ‘ere!!”

“Yeah?”

“Both of you get down give me 20’s push up!!”

“Eh!!”

“There is one rule that I want you guys absorb here is there is no lovey lovey here!! Got it!!”

“Yeah!!!”

Amin and Mariam did the push-up

“Sorry Mr Marcus!!”

“Sorry sir!!”

“Good at ease!!”

Damn Mr Marcus instantly tame them and inspired the whole class.

The first battle is against George team and Hanie team, George team loses because one of them did not follow the instruction and was punished accordingly

Mariam team did it easily with their hip hop moves. But now is our turn, Priscilla is really nervous but I had an idea for them

“Lets do the rock and roll its easy!!!”

“Shake, rattle and roll!!”

We did the classic rock and roll by bill haley and his comet. We manage to pass while the other did the traditional dance also manage to pass. The next battle is this time is against all 5 team together.

“This is about 6 mins!! All the best team…and this time I choose the theme…”

Mr Marcus choose Micheal Jackson thriller theme, damn the zombie dance. Mariam is really good at but I did that with Natalie.

“Come on just follow the rhythm, imagine yourself a zombie or sleepy person doing the dance!!”

We started the moves, Priscilla and Hanie manage to handle it, Mariam and Amin is really synchronise along with Maya.

“We just doing it slow got it!!”

“Yeah!!” Hanie and Priscilla

We completed the challenge and Mr Marcus and the others applaud

“Well welcome to my physical education intro…next week will start something intensive…to build for the mind got it!!!”

“YES MR MARCUS!!!”

“CARRY ON!!! AT EASE!!”

We went back while Mr Marcus called me

“At 1500 got it!!”

“Roger…”

We went back but Mariam really wanted to dance again and I suggest her doing the Micheal Jackson something that I like to dance with. With the music you rock my world.

The three of us dance the moves. This really makes myself even better, I felt a new, dance and music really lights up the soul. The strange trio, is dancing in the middle of school. Someone took our picture, its from the news club. We really in the main page of the school bulletin.

“Hey feel better now?”

“Yeah never better!! Thanks Mar!! Thanks Amin!!”

“We best bud right!!”

We continued to dance while Mr Rahman scolded us because creating a commotion

“HEY GET BACK TO CLASS WILL YA, AMIN YOU’RE DEAD!!!”

“THE CAPTAIN GONNA THROW HIM INTO THE PLANKS AGAIN!!!! YOU’RE SWIMMING AMIN!!!”

“ITS MR RAHIM!!!! ARGHHHH!!!” Oh shit the captain is angry. We bail back to class, while Mr Rahim lectured us for being late to class just the three of us. But we just smile and laugh.

After school, I ask Hana and Tama return back to home alone this time. While I waited in school, Mr Marcus called me to train for his next training. We went into the deep parts behind the school where no one could been seen.

“200 sit-up!!” I took it

“200 Push-up!!”

“200 Squats!!”

“200 laps suicides!!”

“100 times body lift!!”

“200 fist push-up”

“100 slow-pushup!!”

“1000 jumping jacks!!!”

You could not imagine how sore my muscle is from that intense warm-up

“Warm-up done, here!! Take this bag!! And run back and forth from this hills for 20 times”

Its really heavy!! I could feel heavier than my own weight. I could hear Teacher Marcus shouted and swearing me.

“Stupid maggot!! Is that all you asshole!!, you still bitching slow!! Even a bitch is faster than you!! Hurry up!!!”

I run back and forth building my strength not just the body but my own mind because I’m about to give for this stupid training but because I discovered my own fear the I could not control myself that I’m willing to take this training.

The intense physical training took me just an hour to complete. My hands is trembling because of the muscle sore.

“You will not going to be buff because you going to fast..!! Only eat on breakfast and light dinner got it!!”

“Yes teacher!!”

“Good!! Now is weapons training, I will teach you how to use a knife!”

“Yes Teacher!!”

He taught me how to avoid the knife strike, and how the knife works. For 2 hours of intense knife training. He suddenly ask me to test him.

“Now for the test…attack me!!”

I make a stand and prepare to stab him. I lunge at him, and he took my arm and shouted

“That is how a gangster attack!!! You are training to survive like a soldier!!!”

He showed me how to used the knife properly a different style of handling, while explaining the methods of knife defence. Integrating CQC with boxing technique Including a new martial arts that he taught me, when he is in Russia Sambo. He also taught me the killing method of the knife if someone is trying to take me down.

“But there is one thing I wish from you….”

“What is it teacher?”

“Don’t spill anymore blood recklessly again, if you had to just to survive and that’s it got it!!”

“Yes teacher!!” Yeah I had to avoid that…it will add another of my sin again.

We train the defence arts for knife intensely and the process will take a few session. That means will be a month. But Mr Marcus is surprised with my growth.

“This is something of a rarity because usually will take years to do that kind of training”

“I’m not sure about that because I train myself as well…”

“Then its good…kid lets duel for real I want to see the result”

“Got it!!”

We duel, I instantly attacked him, and does the leg sweep and punch him down. And he block it.

“Good kid!! That is an improvement!!”

He continued with a salvo of punch and kick combo, his large fist and legs that could kill me, I felt really slow, I instantly use my knife and close to his neck.

“Good!!! That is something kid…”

“Sorry about that!!” I pull out the knife. I return the knife to Mr Marcus.

“I plan not to use any kind of weapon but with only fist….”

“Hahahahahahaha!!!! Fine then kid!!”

It's already 5pm and I return back home. When at home Slyvia and Steward is at home with Hana and Tama but Mom and Sam is not here yet.

I called mom, and she replied to me

“I’m going to be late with Sam…could you pick up Sam at the day care in my office?”

“Yeah sure…”

“Hana I’m going to pick up Sam, you guys stay here got it!!”

“Okay!!!”

Sylvia still sulking since yesterday. But I really don’t care about it, because its nothing I could do, but I could not leave it like that.

“Hey Sylvia…”

“Not until you called me darling….” That is not your own decision💢

“…..ba…be…” Sylvia smile and said to me

“Okay I will look after them.” That was fast, but I realise that I am drawn to her. Its just that I’m confuse with myself.

I ride as quickly as possible to reach the office and I manage to meet mom.

“Sylvia and Steward is staying there right?, her dad called me again to let them stay there”

“Oh really? What about their clothing?”

“It seems that her dad already sent them…”

“Oh really…”

“I will be overnight here in this office got it!! Look after them including George’s kids…oh ya just let Mr Rahman look after Sam for a while, he will know that to do”

“fine…come on Sam” he started to baby talk

“k…b..bb” yeah since the dad took the maid with him for his second wife, I had to take over mom duty as the caretaker of the house. I head back and Sylvia and Hana cook for dinner. Its a simple Chinese dish she make, soy chicken and fried vegetables with porridge for Sam.

“Is mother is going to be late?”

“Yeah she will be overnight, had to bring Sam to school tomorrow…”

“Really kinda fun…”

“Mom said to me to let Mr Rahman to look after Sam…”

“What a flexible mother…she is really trust you that much…”

“she is always like that since I was little…but anyway I had to catch-up the course…”

“Yeah don’t worry about them I’ll look after them, while you do your studies..”

“Right thanks Sylvia…” I could not said that word again…maybe because I still loved Natalie

She wave at me with a smile, I went into my room. I study myself based on the notes that Amin taught me. About an hour of studying, I didn’t heard anything at all from them seems they went to sleep. Geoffrey must be something urgent for them to stay in Ranau for that long.

I felt sleepy because of that intense training. I suddenly felt asleep laying on the table. I felt someone is giving me a blanket. I felt a touch of the lips and she smile

“Its your fault for making me like this…” and she left. But I felt some warmth from her. I feel thirsty and wanted to get a drink only to realise that Sylvia is not asleep. I could hear from the other room she is humming.

A broken home like us but at least we had a safe sanctuary. But it's not a bad idea having the lot of them to stay here for a while at least Hana is not bored and someone will look after Tama with her common sense is still not on par with the civilised. I check again and this time there is no message from Natalie but only Damien,

“Homie,

I just finds out the truth from Homebox, there is a files hidden somewhere but I found out someone is blackmailing my family, I’m trying to hold back myself but its seems this fool is going to get it, my wealth from Darrel I’m going to give you a quarter of it and you take care of it. This is getting bigger, the cartel, FBI, CIA and even the mafia’s…its huge I don’t know why 102 is the centre of it…but I’m going to investigate.

P/s - homie, I met Nat, she did not respond to my question, I’m really pissed at her. Sorry bro to let know about this…

“Damien..you damn fool…”
