Wow.
London seems so small from up here.... Rose thought. It looks like a bunch of ants got loose. Then rose began to laugh which made her seat partner on the plane to be irritated.
But rose don't care. She kept laughing until she was absolutely satisfied.
She couldn't believe she could actually leave her parents to a far away country in southward Asia.
She couldn't remember her dad 's words to her before she boarded the plane.... "Don't cause any trouble..!! "
Rose smirks and scoffed at that idea. She wasn't pleased going to stay with her grumpy aunt sara who is a single mother of two. Kate and bill. Her husband left her to cater for them.
So typical.
Plus to top it all...
Aunt sara has a greedy cat named snowball and is all scaring her. Rose had always dreaded that cat!.
.....
Later... The plane landed in japan.
This is it.... Rose sighed.
After she picked up her luggage from the airways bag counter, she checked out from the plane and scanned people that looked like aunt sara.
But nope. No one.
Rose was amazed by alot of people going to and fro until her phone rang.
Checking the caller, it was aunt sara. "Hello? "
"Rose dear! Have u arrived safely at the airport? "
"About thirty minutes ago.. "Rose said unexcited.
" ok... Board a train going to japan... And I will pick you up from there, ok? "
Rose was silent for a while. A million questions we're running through her head.... What if I get lost? What if.....
"Hello? Rose dear? Are u there? "
"Oh.... Yeah I'm here aunt. I will board a train to the city.". She coud hear her aunt sigh "I will be waiting..... "
Then the line went dead.
Great. Just great!.
She board the train as indicated and it felt weird with passengers, silent and minded their own business.
Say , it has been long since I entered a train in the subway station back in London....
Rose thought.
Then... The train host spoke on the PTA which startled her " un board all Passengers! We have entered tokoyo city. "Another translated in Japanese language.
They all got down from the train station and " wow"... Rose exclaimed. "Tokoyo is beautiful! "
Rose did her possible best to scan out aunt Sara. But no sign of her.
"What is going on? "
Rose wondered. She waited and waited and waited until it was 5:43pm.
Great! No sign of aunt sara.
Her stomach began to rumble....
I'm starving... She pondered. This is unbearable.
Just when she was about to give up hope , her aunt called... "Hello rose"
"Aunty, where are u?? "
"I'm sorry dear... Something came up. I'm such in traffic so I will send you my house address.. When you get there, you take the key underneath the flower pot by my doorstep, ok? "
"Yes aunt sara. "
After the call.... Rose swears under her breath and pulled her luggages with her as she walked among the crowds in the evening lit rays going close to night.
"Just great! I am officially lost. "
Rose said as she surrendered, staring at bunch of apartments on both sides. She stared at the moon as it shone its dim light across the street.
"What do I do now.. "
She took one more look at her phone and the address on its screen.
Damn you aunt sara!!! She cursed.
Her stomach rumbled again and she sighs sadly.
She wondered on what to do. Then she heard a couple of footsteps approaching her.
She hastened her walks on the street, praying someone would come to her aid. Until she got cornered by two of the gangsters. One was tall and skinny while the other was short and flabby.
"Hey sweetheart! We were calling out to you but you ignored us. "
Rose gluped down her saliva.
"Please go away! "Rose shot at them.
One stretches his hand to grab her but she slapped his hand away.
"Playing hard to get , huh?! "One teased. "Don't touch me,!!! ". Rose said coldly at one. As they rushed to overpower her they heard a voice behind them.... "Leave the girl alone , bosco! "
They turned including rose who was helpless at that moment. There stood a handsome and tall guy with dark shade glasses on.
Mysterious.
"Stay out of this! It doesn't concern you... Haro. "
"If you want to continue this act of yours I hope you do it somewhere else and not on this street. "the guy said with confidence.
"Oh yeah? And so what if we don't?! "Another yelled.
"Then you will regret it bosco. I am sure you remember our last showdown. So I'll advice you and your pests not to mess with me and leave the girl alone. "
His tone was dangerous this time.
There was a long silence until they left rose and walked away. Out of sight, rose walked towards him... "Thank you... Sir... "
"Nah... Don't mention. "Taking two steps forward, she fainted suddenly... He rushed to hold her.
"Hey!! Young lady! Are you ok??? ".
Slowly the voice grew faintly until her eyes closed shut!.
