I enter my room like a walking dead and sit on the chair setup in the corner of the room with a tall lamp above my head.
I sigh and breath in and out, I have to first steady myself and stop worrying about Viviana, she did what she want….and who am I to stop her?
After a few mins a knock come through the door,
"Come in" I call, Bee enter the room with a phone in his hand and points it towards me, I lift my eyebrow quizzically.
"Alex, he is in the line." I push the phone out of his hand and place it near my ear.
"Hello...are you there at least this time or are you going to leaving me hanging up here!?" he chuckles on the other side.
"Stop it!" I roar
"Ok ok, now...where do you want me to drop her?"
"on the border of my territory so that it will be easy for me and you, and! I don't want anyone with you, not even your driver. I will also send one of my soldiers, if you dare to strike me there will be war. Remember and do accordingly. I don't have time for bloodshed." I press every single word properly.
"Um...you want me to come? Whatever...I want Bee to pick her up"
"Ok I will send him" I finish
"That's it?"
"Alexandro.... I want to talk to my sister, is it possible?" I mumble.
"Sure..it's your sister. I'll give it to her.."
After a few rustle sounds there comes a melody voice, "brother." Viviana.
I clear my clogged throat with emotion.
"Viviana" I say.
"I am sorry, I am sorry" she breaks into a heartbreaking sob,
"It's okay Viviana, do what you like and live your life and always remember you will always have your brothers by your side sweetheart. The door is always open for you...bye."
"So...can I drop the girl tomorrow?"alexandro again speaks.
"Hmm...sure, tomorrow at 8:00 am" I say
"The hell! So early!" He whines
"Stop it! Come sharply!" I hang up the phone without saying a goodbye,
I shouldn't dwell on this, I get out of my room down to my office to finish the pending job.
time flew.
I check the timing, it's already 8:00 pm, I sigh and lie and lean back on my chair.
bedtime max... my mind wanders, I jog up to my room and lie down on my bed and close my eyes for a brief moment and then I slowly got into a deep sleep.
"Mommy! Look there!" I scream, pointing at a flower which has grown on top of a bush.
"Oh yea...I saw! Isn't that beautiful?" her belly is fully, my sister, she is inside.
"Can I pluck it?" I squeal,
"No son, you shouldn't. You should only protect it and let it grow as it wishes, you should never ever try to mend it or change it. Everything shines in it's own way!" she ruffles my hair.
Everything shines in it's own way.
I shouldn't try to change or mend anyone,
Because everything shines in it's own way.
I startle awake, Mom.
Mom.
Unnoticed tears gather on the corner of my eyes, Mom.
I miss you.
I rub my face and swallow my clogged throat.
I am a capo, be strong Maximus!
My digital clock on my nightstand already reads 2:00 AM
I should get ready soon, it takes almost 5 hours to reach the borders, A capo is never late.
Wait! Why am I getting ready now? It's Bee who should go...Max!
Oh no I didn't inform him…
I slept fully dressed so I rushed down the stairs to the first floor where Bee's room is situated.
I push open the door to see a shirtless Bee laying peacefully.
Pulling the door, I shut it down with a quiet thud.
Let him sleep, I will face that dipshit.
I climbed the stairs to my room, ran into the bathroom to take a cold bath and in a jiff changed into a jean and black shirt.
Appealing.
Soon I am out the home, I start my car and set for the journey.
