At night,
Xiao-Ming saw a weird dream about her past life.
In the dream:
She saw the dream of her death scene. Everything was happening how it was supposed to be but the stuff old Xiao Ming couldn't see when she was drowning. However watching this situation, she was shocked.
Xiao Man was on her knees, blindfolded with a gun on her head by Li Jung and her stepmother had a gun directed towards her(Xiao Ming) when she was drowning. After the whole area became quite with no signs of struggle in the water(basically when Xiao Ming was dead), Li Jung also pushed Xiao Man in water too with a kick. She didn't struggle a bit as she has already died and it was just her body. After she was pushed in the water, she swims her way to Xiao Ming and holds her hand. With a smile, she too died.
As if someone has clicked rewind, Xiao Ming was now seeing what happened before her she arrive in the area. There was some time till she will come on the cruise but before that Xiao Man come quite cheerfully. Seeing there was no one at the cruise, she takes out her phone to call Xiao Ming as her number was on the dial pad but before she can call her, a person comes from behind and hit her in the back of her head, knocking her out. Xiao Ming can also feel the effect.
Even for Xiao Ming, everything was black for roughly five seconds. After she opened her eyes and saw the scene before her, her heart teared up. Xiao Man mouth was tapped and she was in a chair with multiple ropes attached to her. The room has dim light.
A systematic voice comes from a speaker. "Xiao Man, your sister will die today" before the voice could continue, a yell was heard, "No, there will be nothing happening to my sister. You are lying Li Jung will save her. Yes, Li Jung could save her" (Author: By her sentence, you could understand that she was just making herself believe it and besides if any of you are wondering why is she acting like that. Visualize your most loved person not there, a voice is telling you that they will die and you just couldn't do anything about it and still you can't imagine the despair, Xiao Man is going through.)
There was no reply by the other side but rather a laugh was heard in the room, a laugh that can send a chill in her back.
"That will not be happening, my dear." Said the systemic voice. "Please, kill me not her, I beg you." Pleaded Xiao Man.
The person, on the other hand, did not mind about her pleas and continued "Now the good news is that your dad will also be killed if you didn't follow what we said and not just him, your mom and Li Jung also had the possibility of being killed. So will you do what I said?"
With tears streaming from her eyes, Xiao Man said "I will. I will do as you said."
The voice replied, "Good, I expected a wise decision from you, now drink water, compose yourself and then the script will be given to you, just read it in front of Xiao Ming and yeah remember, if you say the truth to her, four people will be dead including your sister."
Just after this scene, everything in front of Xiao Ming turned black and she heard her mother's voice saying "Save the innocent, child."
The darkness was not at all suffocating type but the gentle type, comforting her in the purest form possible.
(Waking up)
Xiao Ming wakes up, completely drenched in sweat. She wanted to believe that 'this was just a dream' but she can feel deeply in her heart and soul that this was not just a dream. It was a reality.
That night, she cried and cried. She loved her sister so much. If there was a person that she believes fully, it was her sister. She remembers their childhood, the laughing, joking and crying moments of them together and the tears couldn't stop. It was finally that moment in which the tears couldn't come out of her eyes anymore.
Now, Xiao Ming sorted out her thoughts, she needed to be wise. Her mom killer, the person that wanted her family to be dead is in this world, existing.
After showering and washing her face and finally started to calm down. She remembered her dream, it was intact in her memory like it was supposed to be there for her. She has to save her family, no matter what. She took out a notepad and started drawing the face of the man, who knocked her by striking in her back of her head.
This morning, Xiao Ming just went to work earlier because she just doesn't want the old man to worry. Her eyes were incredibly swollen and red, even after applying ice, cold water and concealer, so it is not that swollen but she knows her dad, he would notice every single detail about her, and her eyes were still very much swollen.
(At work)
"You came early?" Asked Rose as she walked into the office. Xiao Ming was meditating because of the dream, her emotions were not stable. Because of Rose surprise visit, she was very shocked but continue meditating.
After about 5 minutes:
"Yeah" Xiao Ming replied. This time, Rose was sitting in the chair and asked "What happen to your eyes? Why are they so incredibly swollen and red?" "Couldn't sleep at night." By hearing Xiao Ming curt reply, Rose get the cue to not talk about this topic anymore. "Xiao Ming today is a long day for you then most of the day, you have to manage time more efficiently but remember the upcoming days will be much longer than this one. I have to make a schedule for today, you can understand it and the upcoming days will be scheduled by you. Please take care of yourself " said rose. Watching the concern in Rose eyes, Xiao Ming give her the best cutest smile possible and hugged her saying "I appreciate it so much, Rosey. Thank you."
(Author: if some of you are cringing in the sweet name Xiao Ming give to Rose, don't worry because me too.:-! )
