1908 Words
BRYSON RAMOS POV'S
I don't know the things I fear but I know the things that I don't like. That was going to this place, to the club.
Because of the that Shikaina, I have to go to this place. It's so annoying!
After arriving at the club's parking lot, my steps are heavy, I don't seem to want to go inside and find out what's there... I really don't want to!
"Do I have to do this?" I asked myself annoyed.
I slowly walked until I heard the noise coming from inside the club.
I just sat on the floor because my knees went weak when I saw different lights. I really don't want to be here! I really do not want!
FLASHBACK>>>
I am currently here at daddy's company office because I don't have much to do at home. What am I going to do there, I'm only 10 years old. If I want to play, it's not fun because I don't have anyone with me. I'm the only child and my mommy and daddy don't even have time to drop me off and pick me up from our neighbor to play.
"Bryson, I'm just going somewhere!" Daddy said but the panic in his voice could be seen.
"Where are you going, daddy?" I asked, I followed him until we left the office.
"I'm just going somewhere. Don't leave here until I'm gone. I'll be back. Do you understand?"
"But daddy, I want to go with you. Will you eat? I'm hungry." I said. I was here early and daddy didn't take care of anything but the papers and his cellphone that kept ringing until he just said he was leaving.
"Ahh, is that so. Alright, I'll just bring you food here as long as you don't leave." He told me to call his secretary and gave me food.
"You stay here. Don't leave here, ok?" He repeated said before kissing me on the cheek and leaving.
His secretary invited me to come inside and eat. It was only a few minutes before daddy left that I decided to follow him. I invited my bodyguards to drive and follow daddy. At first he didn't agree but I forced him because I had a bad feeling just from daddy's voice.
I called mommy's cellphone but she didn't answer.
This morning she said goodbye to me while she was leaving because she said that she had a meeting with a client, maybe she was still busy.
After a few minutes we followed daddy until we reached the club.
What will daddy do here? What do people do here when they come? Playing?
As soon as I saw the light inside, I felt happy because it was different colors and it even rotated on the whole club.
Maybe there are children inside... Maybe someone is celebrating a birthday, it's fun. Yehey!
"Sir Bryson, you can't go inside." My bodyguard stopped me as I was about to go inside.
"Why? My dad is there!" I slipped under his hands that were wrapped around me.
"Maybe your daddy will see you. I will be ruined, I might lose my job."
"What do I care about you? You'll find a new job." I said to him annoyed before running inside the club.
When I entered I was surprised because there were so many people and some of them were old, maybe 50+.
What are they doing here? Is that their sign?
I continued walking until I saw mommy and daddy sitting at the end and drinking with the boys.
Are they drinking again? Maybe who will they order to clean up their mess---
I stopped thinking when suddenly a gun went off and it hit daddy in the chest. Immediately there was chaos around and many people were shouting.
I looked up where the gunshot came from. There's a male sniper!
I immediately went to daddy but then mommy was shot with a gun which was the cause of both of their deaths.
END >>>
Because of that incident I don't want to go to the club again but because of that girl I have to come here. It's annoying. Is there no other way?
"What are you doing here?" I looked at the man who asked and saw that it was Tito Emel.
He helps me stand up and go inside.
"Just close your eyes when you can't tell yourself you're here." He slowly sat me down on the sofa.
I can't close my eyes. I need to see Shikaina because she might leave here and I won't be able to get her permanship.
"It's ok. Thank you." I said to him before turning around.
"Don't worry, there's no sniper here." He said before tapping me on the shoulder.
I'm not looking for a sniper, I'm looking for Shikaina that has escaped. But thanks for his concern.
"Drink this, first." He handed me a bottle of wine.
"It's bad, are you planning to get me drunk uncle?"
"Haha, I have a lot to do. I can't take care of you, just talk with that wine." He said.
It's terrible, does he think I'm a weird person? Huh!
I drank some wine before looking around again. Shikaina is now sitting at table 18 while talking to his two friends. Her friends are beautiful and they seem to be on the same age. Who among them has a birthday?
"I still order" said the woman enthusiastically, I looked at her.
He is Rhino's friend, right? The one who was sitting there earlier in the---.
I stopped thinking to look at the place of rhino and his friends.
Why is it like that?
I looked back and forth between his friend and the girl who was busy ordering.
Are they the same?
"We are twins but we don't look alike" he said while drinking.
"Really?"
Shit! In my 25 years of living in the world, I have only seen twins. I often only see it in pictures and sometimes it's other people's stories. Cool!
"Yes, but we don't look alike" he reminded again.
"How come you don't look alike and you have almost the same face?" I said in amazement before looking at his twin who was now looking around, maybe he was looking for his twin.
"We don't look alike. Look at him" he pointed to his twin.
"Tss. Even from a distance you look alike."
"Ahh, come with me so you can see us up close. You will see the difference between us" he promised and stood up.
"Not anymore. As long as they really look like---" he didn't let me finish speaking because he pulled me away.
Is he just dragging a man with his female partner? Is he that desperate to make me see that he and his twin don't look alike? That's great!
"So, who was that guy earlier?" I caught her friend in a ponytail asking that.
"That's nothing. Drink it---" Rhino stopped talking when he saw me.
"Why are you here?" He asked me annoyed. "Angry birds!" He added that made his friends laugh, he said it slowly. Ts
I was embarrassed to look at them.
"What do you call him? Angry birds? HAHA, why? He looks good, he's handsome" commented a twin with a shrill voice, that's probably the best word I've heard today.
"Thank you" I said to him and gave him a sweet smile.
"Yabang, tss" I heard Rhino whisper. She rolled her eyes before standing up and facing me. "What are you doing here? Are you following me?"
What?
"Why would I do that, are you crazy?" I looked at him annoyed.
"So why are you here? And my friend is still with me?" He looked at an energetic twin.
"I invited him to come here."
"Why?"
"Tss, you already know that," said a twin. "He's always flirting just to show that we don't look alike. That's how he's always been," he added before taking a drink.
"Oh that's right. Sit here angry birds" ponytail hair invited me before patting the seat next to him.
"No more, I'm leaving too"
"Why are you leaving there? I saw you just entering earlier."
Did he see it? Am I out of luck now?
"You're always looking at the entrance haha. You won't find anything there" the twins joked to him with a shrill voice.
"Give it to me, it's my birthday today," Ponytail said and pointed to himself.
A few minutes later I sat next to ponytail and they sang 'happy birthday'. They just used a picture of a cake on their cellphone because they said they didn't buy anything.
A lot of time has passed and the others are getting drunk, and I am also getting hit with alcohol because I have been drinking too much. That's ok! It's fun! Yeeeeyyy!!!
Many stories have been created such as Rhino's sudden wealth because of his job, about his grandmother who only has a few months to live so she wants to get married, Ponytail's single life, and the difficulty of having twins .
"You really want to get married, Kana?"
"Not at all. Actually, I don't even want to, but grandma wants to marry me."
"Just pretend to be married!" It was a good idea that the twins said in a shrill voice. The contract immediately entered my mind.
"That's right! I have a contract here, you can show it to your grandmother to pretend you're married" I promised and showed the paper, it was still a bit crumpled because I folded it 4 times before putting it in my pants pocket.
"Tss. That's cheap, I'm only married on paper?"
"Yes. Why do you really want to get married?"
"No, I don't want to"
"You sign it, I have a ballpoint pen here" Ponytail said and immediately took out the ballpoint pen he was carrying.
I put the paper on the table before looking at Rhino and grinning.
Sign it, hurry!
He was about to sign it when he looked at me.
"Why does your role seem so strange?It's beautiful" he stroked the paper.
Why does he have to praise the paper?
"Let it go. Sign now"
"That's going to sign! That's going to sign! Kana, kana, is going to sign!"
He is about to sign to see us again.
"Do I really have to do this?"
"Of course. For your grandmother" Ponytail said before cheering again.
He was about to sign it when he looked at us.
"This ballpen is fine. It's beautiful!" He said happily and almost stuck the pen to his eyes.
"That's really fine, there's nothing wrong with it. Besides, I bought it in Singapore a while ago. I just went there to buy that ballpoint pen. It's fine, right?" Ponytail gave a thumbs up.
"How are you doing there? Maybe the ink is gone"
"Oh yeah, look at me" Ponytail took the ballpoint pen and was about to write on the paper when I stopped him.
"You write here" I presented my hand to him but he just looked at it in surprise. "Maybe because the marriage contract will get dirty"
"Ahh, yes. He's right, just test it on his hand"
Ponytail had already written and it had ink so he handed it to Rhino again.
After giving it, his friends were all cheering so he signed!
Finally! I got his signature too!
