Chapter 72:
A boring life at school, or maybe....
With the last incident that led to Nat’s rescue, but at the same time Mika manage to squeeze some info from Gale, I didn’t realise that Mika manage taking time to get that information while in that commotion. I was amazed at how Mika was able to remain calm and collected while in the midst of chaos and danger. She was able to think clearly and act quickly to get the information she needed.
“Hey Babe…I going to have a girl talk with Ying, don’t get in my way got it babe!!” Uh huh I’ve got a bad feeling from this and I asked Mariam to back her up. Once we reach there, Mika instantly head towards Naomi’s place and enter the house, Mariam manage to enter the place on time.
My bad feeling came true, a loud noise from the house while I could hear Xavier were trying to calm things down.
“Shit…what the hell is going on now?” Me and Amin were talking to each other
“I really hope, honey could settle it down…” As we stood outside, unsure of what to do next, Me and Amin exchanged worried glances. It was clear that the situation inside Naomi's house was escalating quickly, and we could only hope for the best as we waited for Mariam to bring some peace to the chaos.
Shit, its really loud, with started with a crying baby, and Mariam getting out from the house.
“Honey!! Hold Kyo here!!” Confused and wondering what really happen while Amin taking care of the baby, and I could not hold it anymore and head up to Naomi’s place, holy shit!!! Mika and Ying is not having a girl talk they literary having a brawl!? What the hell is going on here!? Mariam then explain to me
“This Chinese babe is really stubborn she suddenly made up her mind that she just going to start a new life…” huh?! What the fuck!? That is unexpected?
“Bitch!! You know all the trouble that my babe taking out just making sure that you take back the control of your family!!”
“Biǎo zi! Jù nǐ duì wǒjiā rén de liǎojiě, méiyǒu shé me hǎo jiéguǒ!” Fuck now she is talking in Chinese
“Bitch!! English, you know how to talk English right!!!!”
“What aren’t you japanese!! Try talking in Japanese then!!!”
“Fuck you!!! You just making fun right now!!” Shit!! Now I had it, 2 days having not a good sleep I just leave it to them.
Mariam said to me “leave it to me, you just rest for a while” I head towards my crib and rest my poor soul until I could think something but for now, if Ying is not cooperating is all for naught. I close my eyes.
-Meanwhile in Malaysia, Sabah-
In Meow Cafe, I’m Sylvia and I’m busy with this restaurant work including Hana showing her cuteness while entertaining the customer, we do have a fair share of trouble here, with hooligans and perverts trying to harass me and Hana but nothing like a mean kick to their face.
My stupid grand uncle is now the chef helping with Brother William and big sis Melissa. Plus this vulgar style of cheongsam is really tight, its really showing my bosom. Mother asked us to work here, because…
last week-After Alex left, I don’t what kind of emotions that I feel now but I know Alex asked me to protect them. One thing for sure, there are two girls right now is crying.
“I’m going to call father for ticket!!” I instantly took her phone is talk to her father.
“My my is this Sylvia…”
“Yes sir, don’t worry about a thing is just Pris is being a child right now…”
“Yes!! Please mould her to shape like a good friend..” i hung the phone instantly Priscilla is pissed
“Bitch!! What the bloody hell are you doing!!!!?”
“Just stay put…that is all”
Siti also quite upset about this but at least she could be reason with. Hana look at me and wondering what is the plan.
“Big sis Sil…” i look at her with a smile
“we need to hold the fort until big brother is back” Hana nodded back and smile
“yep we need to” the next day, Mother suddenly asked me
“Sil, did Alex said anything to you?” Strange for mother to asked this
“Nothing strange or maybe something about he forgot but nothing in particular, may I know why?” Mother then pointed out that bike
“Any idea ?” Haah
“He is collecting junk and now my place is full of junk again!!”
“Maybe we could sell some of this?”
“We’ll think about it later, so now just rest Sil” she pat my head
“You’re strong child, even stronger than Alex himself.” Mother when to her room while I head in our room and instantly the room becomes the gossip of the week, typical girl talk which I rather read books and rest.
“Hey do you know about what Alex has been doing before, now some of the goons is coming back!!” Siti is gossiping about this
“Typical cockroach, when I get my hands on them” Priscilla is really confident about this but this upset me as well. I tried to be reserved right now. But suddenly Priscilla talked to me
“Sil…I’m going back tomorrow to check on my house, what is your plan?”
“Not sure as long I’m looking after everyone here…” Steward is resting in Alex room. I rest back waiting to see what am I going to do now.
The next day morning, mother called me and said
“Someone is calling outside” I called Priscilla and the two of us went look at the window, looks like some goons and that is someone familiar…its Halim, he look like a mess.
“Sylvia!! I know you there!! Come out!!! Bitch there is no knight in shining armor to save you!!!” This guy is pissing me off!! To my surprised my mom!!?
“Hey Sil…you need back up?” Hana suddenly hold my back
“Big sis need help, I’m going to show them who’s boss…”
“Yep” I smile at her and tell Priscilla and Hana to back off
“Let me handle this, just make sure everyone is safe got it…” Hana is worried about this and mother hold my arm gently
“You know you not my son, don’t be reckless Sil I promise your dad to be safe”
“I know mother, is just that they are really like cockroaches, I feel I want to stomp them”
I’m going to show them Alex is not the one they need to be scared off. I headed out and Halim is there, he really look a mess now as if he is being disown.
“You bitch!! Look what you have done to me!!”
“Sylvia@ Swee Leng Song!! How could you forsaken the family!!!” Mother…I really hated for what have happen if it wasn’t for Alex family who have save me from the darkness that those two in front of me then suddenly Halim called one of his goons, this time I’m going to tell them
“Mother!! My name is Sylvia Brittany Micheal!! I don’t need that name anymore!! Mother last warning!! Leave or else!!” The teacher called me and I said to her
“Teacher called the police while I hold them!!”
There is at least 20 of them including one of the is arm with a gun. Let see now what would Alex would do in this kind of situation. I started looking at them a fierce gaze, most of them pulled back, wow…
“This bitch!! I could feel it just like that guy the last time!!”
“Hey Halim, you know that I only accepted this job when you said that guy is not around!!”
“Shut up!! Get this girl and whatever happen make sure they will pay for it!!” Most of the guys started to climb the walls. I took a deep breath, please God protect us from this trial!! Give us strength. I instantly kick one of the guys and he fell off from the wall and I jump off from the wall and jump in the middle of it. I’m really angry right now, this is guys did not even learn from their mistake but I’m not going to back off again!! Not this time!!
An axe kick to one of guy face instantly knock him out, he went drooling off the ground.
“Shit this bitch is strong!!” One of them holding a machete and swing towards me and I countered it and push him aside and give him a mean sharp kick to the face, I could feel something broken from his mouth and at least 2 tooth fallen from his mouth. But I don’t see Halim but I could feel someone is trying to hold my should I countered with a body throw and slam the guy to the ground, I jump off again and give a roundhouse kick to the face one of the flies towards the bush. One of them manage to climb off the wall and head towards the house but he is going to regret it. Hana instantly drop kick towards they guys groin and Priscilla give a clothesline and slam him to the ground.
Took a while but we manage took out at least 10 of them. Mother then suddenly brought a sword and tried to attack me!? She is not my mother that I know anymore. I did not hesitate and kick her to the face where she instantly knock out. I saw Halim there, still the same, he look terrified.
“Bitch!! Is this how you act now…?” He could speak properly now. I give him a slap and a roundhouse kick to his face. He flew off and I could see something its drugs, a needle and some powder including a tablet. He is now a drug addict…I feel sorry for him though.
Looks like the fight is over, while most of them retreated and the police have arrived. Dad is here as well.
“Sylvia!! My god you safe!!” Mr Faruq is here as well
“Well, well, well looks like we have another Alex here…don’t tell me you taken all of them out…” how on earth am I supposed to explain all of this.
“Is just that I tried my best to avoid a longer fight…”
“Uh huh, I know you going to get hurt but you have nothing a scratch on you, pretty strong…”
“How about the others?” I explain the situation and looks like Priscilla and Hana manage to hold 5 others and tied them with a rope but goodness that is a lot of bruises.
“This animal is not like I wanted to kill them but at least they need to be handed to the law.”
“Yes…” dad look at mother now.
Suddenly a Range Rover arrived and its Grand Uncle!?
“You…you are a disgrace!!” He suddenly confess to Mr Faruq and he approach me and embraced me
“My goodness, my beautiful grand niece”
“Its okay Grand uncle…” Melissa and William also arrived at the scene.
“Cousin!? My goodness is this what Alex had to protect all this time.” Melissa did not know how much of an effort that Alex tried to stop this.
“You okay?” William asked my condition
“Yes, I’m okay” Hana suddenly give me hug, I wanted to cry with joy
“You’re incredible!! You single handedly taking them out!!amazing just like big brother!!”
“Gotta handed to ya, that is something.”
“Is that true!! My goodness” he suddenly announce to me and Melissa
“I’m going to step down from the family, something that I have wanted to done for a long time!!” What!!
“I’m going to stay with Melissa since she had my great grand niece here” uh huh….I have absolutely no idea what is Grand uncle is thinking right now. He suddenly approach my mom
“See what have I warn you little one, being greedy and in power not always be there with you little one…did I warn you before…you daughter…that is what real strength is…look at her now…that proves it all….”
I never knew Grand uncle before but I’m really glad that he is really here, I could only left him with a smile. Mother suddenly approach me and embrace me tightly
“Oh dear Sylvia, you’re safe!! Thank you Priscilla and Hana !!” Hana and Priscilla is blushing now. Mother said to whispered to me “I know that as well, you know that right?” I started to blushed and wonder how on earth that she knows between me and Alex…
Siti and Priscilla approached me “uh huh….what did you do especially in Kudat before we went back?” I could not say anything because its really embarrassing but my grand uncle had other ideas in him and he hold my shoulder
“That’s my grand niece!! Take him to be part of our family!! I will root for you and if you want him to be kept inside a cage just say the word!!”
Priscilla also challenge by this and suddenly make a phone call
“Father when Alex return back here, get ready the butler at the airport and catch him!! I will make sure he doesn’t went out from this bitch!!” Not on my watch!! Suddenly Hana block everyone
“Bad girls!!! Get away from big brother while I’m around!!”
Well its all well done, but when I saw Halim, I’m not angry because what he did in the past but a sense of pity and I wanted him to have a future and I approach him
“Halim….you know you better than this…just walk away from this…” I took his drugs away and give to Mr Faruq.
“He need to be rehabilitated for him to return back to society…” I hold his cheek
“Just let it go, just be yourself…” I know this is crazy but I know this for the greater good for everyone
“Mother…” I ask Alex Mom
“Yes?”
“If Halim have rehabilitated I want him to return back to school…I wanted him to enjoy life in school like a kid not as an adult….” Mother suddenly smile at and I could see tears flow from her
“Oh…dear….you just like my son…no wonder he has fallen for you…yes I think we could and he will have a place in SIGMA…”
“yes he will…I think all of the Borneo College students will have a place” Mr Rahman is here as well.
“Thank you…” I approach Halim again
“There…everyone has a second chance…” but I know that Halim face suddenly turn red and he said to me
“I never you were this beautiful before….” I left him with a smile and said to him
“School is waiting….fun….together…” Halim were taken by the police and the others while I confronted my mother and Steward is here as well.
“Mother….”
“………” she did not said anything
“…..I know I’m the girl that you wanted but one thing for sure is that when it comes to my own family…I will protect them…” I left her with a smile and Alex mom is next to me
“Don’t worry, I will look after her like my own…”
“…..suit yourself….” She was taken by the police and Grand Uncle said to me
“I’m extremely proud of you and Melissa you have gain my respect…”
“But uncle….you….”
“Nope!! There you are William!!” I could see suddenly William were startle
“Yes sir!!”
“I will work together with you, I can cook!!” Melissa sarcastically respond to him
“Are you sure you could handle a lot of orders old man?” Geez cousin…
“I’ll show you my own char kuey teow!!! You going to find no where else…” I never knew that Grand uncle could cook
“challenge accepted” they shook hand and Mother suddenly said to Melissa
“Umm Melissa is there any space for my two beloved daughter’s here?” Huh? What are you doing mother?
“Uh huh….seems like my cousin is already following someone that I know…our own muscle….” Everyone look at me Priscilla hold my shoulder and giving me a thumbs up just die bitch!!
“But I need to look after Sam!!” I need excuses
“Sure!!! That would be fun, I could eat all their food!!!” Hana is excited
“Siti and Tama is around to look after Sam, just go and have fun out there” mother!! I give her googly eyes towards her.
“No buts…I worried later you would have your own vendetta again like my own son…”
“Could not wait to see them in action!!” Everyone
“Hey what about me!! You have seen me in action” just die grand uncle!! I glared at him
Suddenly another one calling mother
“Uh huh…sure Lord Newman, Priscilla you father wanted you to work as well since you lazy and avoiding responsibility at the resort…”
“Father!!!” Ah that is unexpected, mother set a loud speaker for everyone to hear
“Victoria…you going to find a job or else I’m going to cut your allowance…”
“Ah!! I’m not going to die from hunger, I’m lived in the sea.!”
“I have you told your aunt that you going to live in Puan Mas house for this holiday break and work in that restaurant
“What!!!!” Looks like we stuck in this together. Melissa said to Lord Newman
“She could learn to cook…”
“What!!!! No!!!! Father you are not the one that deciding!!! Please!!”
“No buts…would you be interested Melissa?”
“Yep… she will to help me baking cake and helping Sylvia as well”
Looks like everyone of us that I affect by Alex’s way is going in… I could not believe myself taking down those goons. I look into my hand I could only smile.
“Just do it!!” Huh? I could hear someone talking to me!? I look around I saw a little girl could it be? She just smile at me
“You have my approval…” that is strange coming from that… Alex..
-Compton, USA
While I’m asleep getting myself back, looks like I was asleep 2 hours only to see its really quiet, and I saw Amin was asleep as well but I could not see Mariam around even Mika and Ying. Where the hell are they? I went out its already evening. Shit that is how long I was asleep. This is eerily quiet and I see a group brotha hanging around at the parking lot.
“Yo…homie…”
“Hey Alex!!! What’s up!!”
“Uh where the hell is Naomi?”
“Huh? I saw they went out somewhere…” huh? What the hell? What did I miss? I even don’t see my own bike, what the hell is going on?
“Shit where the hell is my ride?!”
“Uh…Mika took it…” huh!!? What the hell those bitches is doing? Xavier called me
“Yo homie!! If you looking for the ladies…ummm..” What the hell is going on? Xavier explain that Mika and Ying could not settle it and Mika does the unexpected and carried Ying on a bike and drove off, Naomi and Mariam went together.
“But what about this dude here?”
“Mariam knock him actually…” huh? What the hell is Mariam to Amin is?
“okay…that is suspicious….” Xavier explain to me
“Oh homie could you help me…Hardware is tied in my house and still unconscious” huh? What the hell is going on?
“Looks like the ladies is setting it their own way…” but something is wrong here. I could see the brotha there is shaking and I could see all of them had the same expression.
“Fine gotta let go of Hardware..” I went inside of the house, holy shit!!! That’s Hardware!! What the hell happen here?
I open his bind and he suddenly wake up and startle himself
“Homiee!!! That is fucking scary!! Those babes they shooting at each other in this house!!” Huh we have a gun fight! Right here, where is the police then?
“Uh huh….hey Hardware what the hell happen?”
“Mika is really pissed with Ying and she drags her out from the house telling that she not going to become a monk, and settle the family ASAP!! Mariam were align together with Mika as well, Naomi is joining the fun” Mariam!!! I told you to minimise the damage while I’ll think of something. Xavier explaining to me something that I never realise
“You know homie, maybe its a good idea for you to delegate maybe they could settle it done..” Yeah he is right, at least I could rest here. Well then I just went back as usual in an instant Amin suddenly shouted at me
“Bro!! Honey went out!!” Same surprised reaction I’m not going to react
“Yeah…I know…” I head back to my crib waiting the outcome of their actions. Amin followed me as well and we hang around. Amin asked me about something
“Hey bro just want to ask of you…” Amin sound curious about this
“yeah?”
Suddenly his face is shining
“You have a lot of experience all ready!! So tell me which babe is the hottest that you met?” What the hell is ?
“Are you an idiot or something?”
“Yeah I’m serious bro!! You like a legend among in the school already!!” Dammit
“Hey!! That’s not funny!! You know that my life is getting shorter by the minute!!”
“So what it will be!?” I plan to ignore him but suddenly in my heart wanted to share with him
“well…among all of the people I met, there is only 1 person that I feel that is cute and hot…”
“Oho who would that be then?”
“Like a flower in the barren desert of my world, because to tell you the truth is that I could only compared to a sand among the vast land that I could see but slowly that flower got my attention…at first I could only see just weed that is growing but slowly I suddenly sat there sitting in that hot scorching sun wanted to give it a shade…”
“Damn man you really philosophical about this then?”
“Slowly when I woke up suddenly another weed was growing until it become a field, an oasis suddenly was grown from it, trees are growing from it, water suddenly appeared but that weed didn’t grow. The weed is always been push aside but at first I tried to ignored it but I feel that maybe something will grow from it, that oasis is still growing but the weed is still a weed but one day I decide to give it water until one day it grows to a flower. It is the most beautiful flower that I have seen…I tried to look after it, day by day but realise that the oasis is only temporary because I need to move again from the desert.”
“Damn man, never knew about this, could it be…” yeah Amin guess it right
“It was her…I don’t realise it later on but 1st was Frederica, then Nat and now Sil…so that is my answer”
“Yeah that is a long explanation from you bro but damn man that is deep…”
“Yeah…” damn man, It is a long way right now but does it worth it? Now I’m in LA with Nat really close to me but I realise something from me, including what is going on with my body.
While we wait for the others to arrived, we hear Mika and Mariam were shouting outside including Naomi but I could not see Ying and wondering what have happen. But damn Naomi is dead drunk, what really happen.
“Kukuku, that Mika is crazy girl taking out all of the Jade family gang!!” Uh huh I have a bad feeling about this.
“Uu…..sorry Alex but all is good….” She slowly thumbs up
“The Jade Lotus Family is now out of the picture and they will not going to allied with the De Santo gang plus they will work together with the LAPD!! Yeah!!!”
“Ohh…that…amazing…” I’m really curious in how they manage to convince Ying into this.
“Kukuku…..this is something that you have to thank to Mika because she convinced them that of they left that path into a new business plan they will not be in the cross fire between our gang against Damien and the De Santo gang”
That was easy but now the hardest one is about to come. So I explain the next plan which is the hardest
“Listen guys..”
“Huh?”
“This is the last group, is the latino group that I’m going to settle this….” This is the one that even me and Damien having a hard time to get it done because of they relationship with the De Santo gang.
“Yeah I know homie” Hardware suddenly said to everyone
“But I know the alpha herself…” huh? Not him anymore?
“Yep homie, the original alpha is now in prison plus he is now over 49 years old I don’t think that he is going to be part of it again I think you know her name”
“Uh huh Isabella isn’t it?”
“Isn’t that big girl Isabella?” Mika seems to know her
“Yep my good friend…” Naomi knows her because Isabella was once a call girl as well
“The latino group has been split apart because of De Santo gang but some of the factions is friendly with us in Compton the others they are neutral for now…”
“Its going to be something big just to convince them because most of them are labourers working just like Xavier but the others just involved with organise crime like the De Santo…”
I realise that Damien doesn’t bother to strike this group though I wonder why.
“Hey Hardware any news from that neighbourhood whether Damien’s boys taking out latino’s turf?”
“Nope, I didn’t hear anything at all…is just that only De Santo’s gang drug and gambling facilities is under attack by Damien that is all” its because Darrel warns us about them, because they are not the kind to work together because of their own internal conflict between each other, the only way they will unite if they have the same purpose.
But we are going to get ready for this.
