I woke up, while being tied from them, Amin and Hazlan is also being tied by them. The girls however is enjoying the bed with the three of them together. But they sleep in their bathrobe!! 🤯While Mariam is wearing simple t shirt and tight shorts. Her bad bed head. Amin is snoring, and Hazlan sleep peacefully while being tied with a rope.
"Honey please don't use me as a club…." Amin is having a nightmare or a pleasant dream?, his perverted look say otherwise. He must have love it. What a masochist.. 😓
"Hehehe that hurt honey…🤤" you gone broken dude…😓
Trying to untie this rope with my tooth, come on!! I want to escape here. A bit more… Tama went out from the toilet and she is naked again!!🤯
I close my eyes while trying to untie it. But someone is untying my rope, I open and Tama is in-front of me!! Shit I see her boobs, even though its smaller than Natalie but….what the hell am I thinking!!?😖 I pray to Allah that to throw away my desire!!!
"There…" Tama untie it. I whispered to her
"Tama get my shirt and pants…"
"Got it…"
Tama give me my shirt and pants, while slowly wearing it while wanted to get out from this room.
"Hey Tama cover yourself will ya…"
"okay…"
I manage to wear my clothes, and I slowly walk while looking down. But I saw someone in front of me. Her boobs is big and short 5'4, its definitely Sylvia she is still in her bathrobe.
"Where are you going? D.A.R.L.I.N.G…" oh shit that's her!! She is not using her bra, I could see her boobs below. What the hell am I thinking!! This is a test, yeah this is a test.
"uh…gotta get some fresh air.."
"Really…"
"yeah…"
She hold my arm, and said to me
"at least..that bitch is not taking any advantage of you…" she kiss my cheeks
""What the hell was tha!!"
"Just a marking…"
"Well gotta go…"
I leave the room, only to hear someone running towards me.
"BIG BROTHER!!!! Its Hana and she is chasing me!!
"YOU"RE NOT SUPPOSE TO STAY WITH THEM!!!!!" Oh shit I better try to calm her down she is getting stronger now.
"Wait, I will explain!!"
Instantly she drop kick my face. But this time it didn't hurt as much and I manage to overcome it instantly make my escape.
"WAIT BIG. BROTHER DON"T YOU RUN!!!!" This is what I called an early morning exercise
I run as fast as I could and jump down the stairs, she is still chasing me to the resort park. I saw behind Hana is holding a broom stick. She throw that broom stick like a spear and it stick to the coconut tree. Her face is really wanted to kill me.
"Calm down Hana, lets not do anything crazy in this fine morning okay?"
"Die…" Hana just said that word, oh shit.
She just kick me and I block it. That is a really mean kick.
"Alright!! Let us train here!!"
"Die…Big Brother!!!!! I'm going to remove that evil scent from the bad girls!!" Do I smell?
Her Savate move is really a reflection of Natalie. She throws her punch and kick combo at me. She does the flying kick. And she does the kick combo again and another roundhouse kick. She is really good now at fighting.
She jumps at me and headbutt me. Ouch that hurt. But she is also hurt.
"Don't do headbutts unless your head as hard like me!!"
"Die…Big Brother!!" Why does she always said that!!
She does a sweep and I fall down.
"Big brother gotta be serious now.."
"Die…big brother and I'm going to cleanse big brother from the dirty hands of the bad girls there!!!"
She did another roundhouse kick and pick her legs and throw her out.
She recover from the air, and start kicking me from air!! nice.!!
"Better get ready!! Here goes Big Brother's turn!!" This is another training for her, her mental strength
I position myself into boxing mode. My gaze towards her, she suddenly scared
"Squirt better get ready!!" I straight punch her only been block by someone
"That is not a gentleman's way…" its Mr Newman!!
"Oh sorry…we're having a spar…" he is also wearing a sports wear. Hana seems worn out from the fight.
"Want to spar with me child?"
"uh…you sure?"
"yeah…nothing like having a exercise in the morning"
He instantly give a jab, that is a quick jab. My nose bleed.
"Not bad old man…"
"Are you ready child?"
"Got it!!!"
A straight punch and he dodge it, countered with his jab again, I block it, the is less painful compared to Teacher though. His punches is like a machine gun. I block it.
"Good job child your could hold on my punches, Victoria couldn't do it.."
"Really I better be careful then" I hold it while he continued his punches
"I know that you could punch child…" he does love to pissed someone
I instantly punch him and he pull back
"That is a mean punch, if a normal person could have knocked out"
I felt an excitement, my blood is boiling. I'm really want to test him really bad now.
"That smile on your face, is what your true self…you could not hold that yet son…"
I punched him really hard, all I know that I'm really getting my emotions getting to the better of myself. I'm getting high from my own adrenaline here.
Hana look really scared of me
"Big brother!! Stop it!!"
I punch him again,
"This punch could kill a person…" the first time in my life I could not control myself, its really scary. I could realise myself trying to kill him
"Beat me up…..old man!! Just beat me senseless, I…."
"Got it!! Control yourself!!" I'am trying to control myself, as if my body is on automatic, I just keep attacking him.
"This is really hard….but you could give this old man a run for his money"
"Yeah keep dodging old man, I'm really pissed" Hana is in front of me, I got to find ways to stop myself.
The old man slip down
"Bad move OLD MAN!!!!!" STOP IT!!!!! STOP IT MYSELF.
Thats it body, I'm going to take control it. I punch myself to my face, a direct hit to my face, and shaken my head really hard, ringing sound to myself. My vision begin to blur and I fainted.
Once I wake up, Mr Newman and Hana is with me
"Wow..1 min you fainted, your little sister is crying right now…"
"Ah sorry Hana…I dont mean to scare you…" Hana is avoiding me, I know that is my fault.
"Sorry squirt..I…okay now…" she instantly hugged me
"You don't be that monster okay big brother…" yeah I almost lost myself in the mayhem of a fight
"Sorry Mr Newman to hurt you like that…"
"No child, no one have ever been pushed me this hard before..hahahahahaha!!! You are interesting child"
The way Hana hugged me, I know that is my fault. I have something dark that has awaken in me. I have to do something about it.
"I have to ask but you something…"
"yeah…"
"Have you taken someone's life before ?" I want to say yes but not in-front of Hana
"Its not appropriate in front of my little sister here…"
"I understand because the way you fight I know that you have been in that situation…"
"Compton, LA….I lived there once…"
"ah..that place…is like Birmingham…"
"yeah…"
"But what are you doing there?"
"102…"
"102 I hear that before in the 90's"
"Yeah 102 gang once…Hana was only 3 at that time"
"Did your family lived there?"
"no..they lived in Arizona"
"Interesting"
He sat down on the grass and said to me
"I was once a street gangster as well child in Birmingham. But my family could not accept that, because its not of nobility…"
Never knew Mr Newman was once a street gangster.
"How did you manage to quit the gangs?"
"I move out to Australia and fell in loved with a girl there, a half Maori and aboriginals, we do have a fair share of disagreement between the families which ended in divorce.."
"Did you meet her often as well?"
"Yes, though she did not accept it and she tried to commit suicide after giving birth to a child that is Victoria, how did I know because I was there seen her slit her throat with a knife and died in the bathtub…"
"Did Priscilla know this?"
"Not at all child, she only knows that she died from child birth…"
Some secrets are meant to be a secret, I understand Mr Newman feelings now.
"Then Priscilla? Did she meet your family in England?"
"No…they could not accepted it…"
Kinda sad to hear that, maybe that is the reason for her living here.
"At least you meet her…"
"Hahahaha yes, I'm pretty sure there will be an uproar home.." He escape from his own palace.
"At least we have something in common…"
Hana is sleeping right now. I carried her, and Mr Newman return to his room.
"son..I'm really glad you befriend Victoria. Least I know that she is in safe hands"
"With that kind of jabs, and Victoria style of fighting I'm pretty sure she in safe hands"
He waved goodbye while I carried Hana back home, but I got bruises in my face how the hell am I going to explain to mom?
I reach the room and Mom and Sam is there
"Let me assume, that you going on a brawl?"
"Hana beat me up…"
"Really….look like she is really tired"
"Mom is going back to office with Tama as well seems they wanted to meet Tama…"
"oh got it"
"Look after Sam for me okay?"
"Yeah got it mom…don't worry about it"
"By gotta go"
Mom give me some money, like a lot and Mom kiss my forehead and I kissed her hand while holding her hand. She leave immediately with Tama. Now I had a problem with my bike in the resort wondering how the hell am I going to give them a ride. But whatever.
Once Hana wakes up, we head for breakfast. Amin and Mariam is in one table while Sylvia and Steward. Priscilla is with her dad. Hazlan went back to his parents house due to having a tuition class, he is sad though.
"Ooo…pancakes!!" Hana
"You want one?"
"Yeah!!"
"Look after Sam..for me.."
"Got it!!"
I wonder where is Steward last night? I didn't see him last night after the brawl. I took the food and find some porridge for Sam. We sat at the corner, eat together.
"Big brother…!?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm really wanted to play at the beach…"
Kinda think about it, we never played at the beach. And I smile at her
"Alright lets go…we going to rent a boat. We going to Mamutik Island"
"Yeah!!! But can we bring Steward?"
"Uh…ok…"
Hana heads out and talk to Steward, I could see Sylvia suddenly heads back to her room and said to Steward
"I'm going to get ready…!!" I got a bad feeling about this.
I carried Sam and head to the resort recreation centre for renting a boat.
"Yeah but we have a service for water taxi service"
"Is it possible to rent a speed boat?"
"We will check…ummm we do have one well then I will prepare the boat…kindly proceed to the jetty"
Now we don't have a swim suit, and I called Hana and Steward together with me. We head to the resort store, expensive but I had no choice in wasting my time buying outside. We head inside Hana is showing Steward which swim suit for her. Steward blushed
"uh..maybe its pink?"
"Okay!!😍"
I took the right size for Sam, while I took my own.
"Hey Steward would you like one?"
"uh..okay…"
Sylvia went in the shop and said to me
"Hey!!" She is wearing a sexy swimsuit inside. While wearing a bath gown.
"uh…we're not ready yet but whatever"
Hana look at Sylvia
"Grrr!!! Bad Big Sis, trying to steal big brother!!!grr"
She only smile and said to her
"At least not that other girl…right"
"…..right…no more any bad girl here!! Except Big Sis Mariam" she has been persuaded into a truce.😑
"Big brother, can I invite Big sis Mariam?"
"uh…I don't think it could fit all but fine then"
"Hey Sylvia..could you help me pay the stuff here" I gave her the money and I head towards the recreation centre.
"Your arrangement have been change…"
"Huh? What happen?"
"Mr Newman said someone will pick you all up and head to Manukan Island Villa resort, they have arrange a place there.."
Eh? Don't tell me
"Big brother!!!"🤩 what now?
"Big Sis Mariam and Big Brother Amin is joining" oh…more fun…great..😑 I was hoping that they rejected it. I was hoping some peace and quiet.
"kukuku….you don't think we don't want to join eh?"
"That is cruel dude!!!!"
"Fine!! But we have another thing here…seems like someone sponsored our boat ride…"
"Ai…?" Mariam seems surprised and she ask me
"This is getting serious, you better watch your back eh😉" 🖕🏼 fuck you, you seems to know something!!
"But anyway this is fun with us all together eh?"
"Yeah right, I'm the one that is going to die soon you know!!"
"Chill dude!! Since we here you will not going to have girls problems, Honey got a plan"
"Anyway I shared your problems with Amin but I need something from you though.." I knew it
"What is that anyway?"
"Just follow the flow got it?"
"typical…."
Priscilla meet us and said
"Hey could I join?" But her dad hold her shoulder
"You need to be with me for a while"
"Father….but….🥺"
"No buts…" he drag her away. He flick his eyes😉
Damn no mercy from her dad, but at least I'm safe for a while because I just wanted some peace and quiet. Mariam and Amin change their clothes in swimwear and we head to the jetty. Waiting for the boat, it's a long boat. A driver is with us and introduce himself
"I'm Tani, i will be guide for this boat ride, we head to the resort and if you want any activities just call me got, please wear your life jacket before we depart."
"Got it!!" Everyone
We depart from the resort we see Priscilla is running away from the resort, her maid and butler is chasing her. Sylvia is waving her goodbye and suddenly hugging me while Hana pull me away
"Get away bad big sis!!!grr!!!"
The feel the wind from the boat ride and slowly headed to Manukan Island. We dock at a special jetty where the villa is. Hana jumps from the boat and dive down.
"Hey Squirt!!!, you don't know how to swim yet!!"
She is smiling and said to me
"Yay!!! Is water!!!!"
Sam also wanted to jump from the waters and Slyvia carried him.
"Now, now Sam we gotta get you prepared" - Slyvia
"Hey Hana!! Come on lets head to the beach first!!" - Mariam
"Got it!!"
We head to the villa, is a big house with multiple rooms. We choose our rooms based on Mariam criteria
"Me, Sylvia and Hana will be in this room while you boys that room got it"
"Ok…" everyone.
We change ourself and head to the beach. Mariam is teaching Hana how to swim, Steward is actually a good swimmer and he accompanied Hana. Sylvia wanted to play with Sam. Amin is playing like a kid in the waters.
I just lie down on a hammock that is close to the beach. Looking after them like a lifeguard. But what I'm really interested is fishing. I ask Tani for a fishing rod, I head to a rock beach and start fishing there. I had a fair share of swimming in the waters with Natalie in Grass hopper point with her. Still remember she wears a sexy swimsuit. Mariam is with a sporty swimwear alongside Amin.
Under her beach shirt she is wear a really sexy swimsuit. Her swimsuit really fits her well..ahhh what the hell am I thinking!!! I better focus in fishing. I manage to catch one, its a small grouper, I throw the fish and fish again. This is really relaxing just listening to the wind and the gentle waters.
My rod is bend a little, this time its really hard to pull, I know its a huge fish. I slowly pull it towards the beach. Its a Snapper!! Damn!! I'm really lucky. Tani see it and said to me.
"This is a good fish you want to cook it?"
"Yeah"
"Then let me ask the chef from here to cook it what would you like?"
"Steam it will be nice..!!"
"Good!!"
He took the fish and show it to them.
"BIG BROTHER GOT A FISH!!!!"
"That is big!!" Sylvia
"Dude!!! Nice this is our lunch!!" Amin
"yummy 🤤 can't wait to eat it…" Mariam
I continued to fish but Tani offered me other method of fishing
"Do you want to spear fishing?"
"Really I'm cool…"
"Oh good I'm going spear fishing here to get some rare and legendary lobster that Madame Priscilla manage it"
"oh..okay"
"But we have to wear snorkel…its a 3 man team"
"Got it" I called Amin together
"Alright that's look fun!!"
We ride a small boat with snorkelling equipment.
"Do you have experience in diving?"
"Nope.." Amin
"I don't to be frank… but I did fish crayfish when I was young though in the river in Long Pasia…"
"This will be a bit deep and we going to catch lobster, and oyster that Madame Priscilla manage"
We head to the waters, inexperience boys like us are really useless here, Tani said to us
"TRY TO DIVE LOWER THAN YOUR LEGS!!"
We thumbs up and dive down. We had our snorkel in but I'm impressed with Tani is able to dive down that deep. Amin could not hold it and resurface back, I tried myself with my ears is about to pop but, the view is beautiful. We manage to see Tani taking a lobster, and I saw something that glitters I head there. And wanted to take it. It's an oyster there are a bunch of it. Tani showed me how to harvest it using a knife, and we took it from the inside without killing it.
We resurface and Amin is waiting at the boat.
"How the hell you could manage to dive down?"
"Don't know? I just feel to get it"
"Damn man…"
"Not to worry…at least we have lobster tonight…"
"Damn that's huge!!"
"Its all thanks to Madame Priscilla she is the one that manage this aquatic farm."
"Damn she is good!!" Amin
"Only 15 years old and already she is an expert in diving and aqua farming…" Tani
She is talented but she is lucky that her father back her or else this dream will never came true. I collected some of the pearls from the oysters and Tani asked me
"What are you going to do with it?"
"Don't know maybe making a jewellery out of it…"
"Its really valuable, I'm pretty sure a single piece is at least RM 200"
That much!! Damn!!
"Maybe I could make one of each like a pendant…you also wanted it right bro?"😏
"Eh? Maybe I could but I don't know?"
"I could…I learn from Mr Hawk's wife"
"Yeah as a surprised for them right!!"
"So I need a thread or something"
"I will get it, you need to figure it out how you will make it"
"I got an idea…give me this list of items, pendant head holder, metal necklace or string should be fine."
"Got it I will return to the mainland…"
Tani head back to the mainland. While me and Amin sitting down on the beach.
"I've got 6 six of these so I will make a pendant"
"Nice better hide it from them then…"
"Yeah no funny business eh.." 😒
"Wha..?"
"Control yourself asshole…."
"Eh…"
"You think I don't know about you two…"
"Wha…."
"I got a feeling you guys have done more than me….."
"Eh…"
"You know what I mean…."
"What are you talking about Alex…?"
I pointed my pinky finger and Amin suddenly reacted strange
"HEY!! That's not funny bro!! The closest I did is only French!!!"
"Bullshit!!"
"Yeah!! You don't believe me bro!!!"
"No…."
"Come on man, if I did that….uh…."
"So you did huh…?"
"No!!! I didn't!!!"
"Better don't, it still early you don't know how many girls out there…"
"She is the one bro!! I couldn't help it!! when I see her dance on the first day, I saw her I fell in love got it!!"
"What else?"
"She….is not just….that but….she is always helpful with me and my family…"
"And?"
"I don't think any other girl other than her!! Alex you got to believed me bro!! I'm still a virgin not like you!!"
"uh…yeah"
"Then…how does it feels like!!" This is one of the things that I will not share with anyone not even my mom.
"Its a secret…got it!!"
"damn…"
"What else? About Mariam?"
"She's always cheerful but I have always know that she is always alone in that huge condo of hers, she is always dancing alone in that studio, at least I could be her partner in making music got it!!"
Amin face turn red as a tomato and I see behind him is Mariam who is also blushed
She suddenly hugged Amin really hard
"I also L.O.V.E you got it!!!" She kissed his cheek.
"Hehehehe….got cha.."
"kukuku…is this revenge for Natalie and you?"
"yep…."
"What is it in your hand there?"
"Uh….nothing is just rocks!!!!!"
"Uh huh….what is it honey!!?"
"Like he said it just rocks!!"
"oh…okay I play along with your games"
The chef have prepared us lunch from the fish that I caught.
"Steam fish, with bean sprout!! Enjoy!!"
Lunch time, they prepared at the bench of the villa. Gotta give thanks to Mr Newman for this.
After the meal, Sam fell asleep its my turn to look after him, while Sylvia and Mariam teach Hana how to swim. Mariam is really good at teaching kids. During the afternoon, I also felt asleep with Sam.
When I woke up, someone is humming next to me, when I open my eyes its Slyvia. She is singing something.
"Sorry did I wake you up…"
"No..just wondering what song you singing..?"
"One of my favourite music when I was young. The colours of the wind…I like Pocahantas..I have always wanted to be like her…"
"I would like to hear that song…"
She only smile and started singing
Pocahontas in disney movies always give the best of the character but the truth is in real history is a total different person, a victim of the British colonies was captured and held for ransom by English colonists during hostilities in 1613. During her captivity, she was encouraged to convert to Christianity and was baptized under the name Rebecca. She married tobacco planter John Rolfe in April 1614 at the age of about 17 or 18, and she bore their son Thomas Rolfe in January 1615. Because Mr Hawk always taught me about the history of the Native American's and their discrimination including the epistemological violence from throughout their lives. But for her sake I'm not going to ruin that.
One thing that I drawn to her is her way of sharing her emotions through singing. Her voice really sooth every soul that listen to it. Every time she sings I remember how I met Natalie and my journey with her. Even though she is with someone, but I really miss her.
I started blurted something in my mouth and started to release my tears on my right eye
"Shanay…." Natalie native american name, Slyvia still singing, she is really passionate, when she is singing. Her voice is really beautiful, that is always I taken notice about her. I've become infatuate to her. The feeling wanted to protect her so she could share that hidden powers of hers to everyone.
After she stop singing, I look at the skies and she looked at me.
"Who is Shanay?"
"....someone that I hold dearly…" I have to tell her so at least she knows
"Is it Natalie?" I could see her arm griping the sands.
"Yeah…that's the name of her Native American…"
"It is…" she look really sad. But I don't want to ruin her mood because of it and I tried to cheer her up
"That singing maybe you could sing it to me again…every time…." I begin to blush
She suddenly smiling again, I gave her hope but I can't leave it like that. During this time, I just listen to her songs. She humming again, she sang another song. She start to sing, Eyes on me by Faye Wong. Until Sam wakes up, and smiling at her. At least some entertainment in this island.
Sylvia stand up and bring Sam to the beach again.
"Thanks for listening…" she kiss my cheeks. Shit…now she makes think of her like this.
Tani arrived and I took the stuff that I need for the necklace and head to a place I need to make the pendant. It should be simple attach the pearl with stainless steel wires, add the string to make a necklace. There all six of them leaving one more left, I make another one for Natalie just incase,
During the night, we rest at the room and prepare for dinner.
"Hey!! Maybe we could do something fun for tonight is kinda boring without something to do" Mariam
"Yeah!! Good idea!!"
Suddenly Priscilla enter the villa
"Finally!!!! You guys are cruel!!! Leaving me to rot like that!!!"
"Hey its about time!!!" Mariam
"Huh!?"
Mariam whispered to Priscilla. What the hell is she doing?
"Nice!!! I like it!! Sylvia!!! Come on let's discuss!! Girls only!!! Boys out!!"
Hana and Sylvia join the meeting. They look at us😒
"GET OUT!!!!" Priscilla kick us out from the house except Steward and Sam who is sleeping.
"Hey did you made it already?"
"Yeah, I keep it in my bag"
"I'm bored what are we going to do now…"
We hang out at the jetty and we take a smoke on the beach
"Hey its our big examination is coming you know the PMR, we are going to get some result soon.."
"Yeah"
"What's your current test level?"
"Not sure haven't check yet"
"I got mine from Mr Rahim, he said to me PMR will be a cinch if you keep like this"
"Did you check mine?"
"Yeah he did he said that Alex and Mariam will struggle with most of the subject"
"well its the truth"
"You better improve your malay then"
"Maybe…kinda lazy to practice it"
"Then we will have a cramp session in your house then I heard Priscilla also struggle with PMR as well if she does not keep up"
"Well we better show the our neighbours we are not pushover as well"
"Mr Rahman said when you are absent said that Alex will be left behind by a lot, but the others are okay, maintaining the standards required by the Board of Education"
Looks like I had to catch up a lot, I'm going to miss a lot of activities soon. Maybe next week I will focus on my studies.
"I wonder what are those girls are doing anyway?" That part I'm out
"I don't want to know or whatever shit are they doing plus I'm not going to involved"
"Hey where are you going?"
"Going for a walk!!"💢
I head out again and taking a stroll on the beach. I saw someone is fishing and I hang out with them one of them tell me a story
"You know there is an urban legend of this island…"
"I'm interested…"
"When there is a full moon, the waters become calm, only gentle waves, like this time, fishes will come out and mermaids will appeared and sing to the unlucky travellers at night."
That sound scary but I'm interested with mermaids, what they really look like.
"Where and when is the last encounter?"
"Over that rocks there will be the place"
"Another urban legend is that if you reach that rock there, with someone together, you will be fated to be together!!"
Shit!!! That is something I need to take seriously…but I could play a prank with Amin and Mariam. But the only thing I see is Amin stand there, alone. Dammit he is there!!
"Hey where are you guys?!!" Its Priscilla and Sylvia
"Hey big brother where are you!!!" Its Hana
But what I saw is Mariam and Amin is there. I remember that fisherman talk about it. Time to get close to see them what are they doing. Oh maybe this legend will become real.
I reach there closely
And listen to their conversation
"Hey…Honey…." Amin
"Yeah?…" Mariam
"You know…I was bored when I arrived in school could not adapt with everyone, but when Alex arrived I thought he could be my first friend there…"
"Oh really…"
"Did you know 2 years I have been thrown by that orientation humiliated, plus my musical skill is not something Borneo College wanted to, they taught that if I pursue this path there is no future here…"
"Is that so…"
"When I meet Alex he is different among others, he doesn't give shit to others. I could feel his aura tell us to back off but I felt something drawing me to him…"
"Yeah he does have that…plus he didn't care about it as well"
"But when he move to a new class I become bored again. But when I saw someone that really gives me hope, she dance in middle of the school yard and doesn't give a shit of who ever see it"
"What are you trying to say here?"
"She is like the sun that shine in the rain…I could just hear only music just by watching her dance.."
"So…." She is blushing, dammit where is my camera…darn it…
"Here…"
"Ok thanks…" eh its Sylvia and Priscilla
"Are they still talking right now?" Priscilla
"Yeah, shhh…" Sylvia
"You know what Amin…"
"Yeah?"
"Natalie was my only best friend…I had no friends to begin with because of my nature and unique talent, I loved to dance, and music is the only thing that is in my mind. But when she said that she want to marry Alex, it really strike me…"
"Damn Alex…he had a head start…"
"What marriage…?💢" Priscilla and Sylvia
"uh….just keep quiet will ya" I'm dead…
"Honey….did you know when Alex meet you with any kind of remorse and he suddenly said to you like that…I really wanted to become like him" don't be like me, I'm not a good example 😓
"Really but the truth is, I have always know that you have been stalking at me since day 1, want to know why I suddenly dance?"
"Huh?"
"Because I want to see any idiot that wanted being a friend with a crazy person like me…hehehehe" she giggle
"Hahahaahaha!!!! You are the only crazy person who will do that!!! No one else!!"
They both laugh
"Alex is really connecting the dot now" Amin ah shucks that makes me blush
"Yeah it lead us both here" Mariam
"One thing that inspired me is when Alex stand-up against all of the elites students, I was scared that you might not be in this school anymore, that is why I protected you from that…" damn Amin that is smooth
"He is the crazy one, you know even in New York no one is stupid enough to said like that when in a situation like that"
"I remember that he said they just shoot them"
They giggle again, hurry up will ya!!
"All of the adventures with you ever since we met and Alex match us"
"Become the three musketeer!!"
"Yeah!!"
"Mariam I have not yet said something serious to you because you always known about me well but I'm going to say it"
"What are you….!!!"
He hold her hand
"I love you Mariam not just a friend but a real companion someone who will be with me until the end…"
She suddenly cried and said to Amin
"You idiot….you always the one that I loved as well, but not just a friend but a lover"
"Dance and music…. we get along together"
"Yeah…."
The fisherman also wanted to see this
"Ah!!! The legend is true..even though I made it up"
"Hah…?" So that means you just talking bullshit!!
"Now this time it will become a true legend…"
"When we reach a legal age, lets get married" he carried Mariam intimately
Sylvia and Priscilla were in awe and blushed
"YES!!" Mariam cried again
They both kiss together
And suddenly a pod of dolphins jumps from the waters while they kissed, I instantly took that picture.
Shutter sound the moonlight shine brightly even without a flash.
Ever-since that day the picture I took will become the legendary love story among people around the world but that is another story…
Its time…
"CONGRATSS!!!!!" Everyone!!
"Eh!!?" Amin
"...." Mariam is really embarrassed
I keep one of the necklace that I reserved to Natalie but I give to Amin instead
"Hey Amin, you drop this…"

"A loving brother….such a beautiful thing…" Priscilla
"He is sweet to her little sister" Sylvia
"Yes he is because he protect me, Sam and mom from all bad people!!!"
But I know there is fear within her because of me. That is something I must protect now I had new friend here, I have to protect them as well. We head to dinner. The lobster that Tani catch, including some fish from the catch as well.
"Hey everyone!! Come on!! Let feast together!!" - Mariam
"Ah…but…" everyone
"Come on!!!" - Mariam and Amin
We eat together, seeing this much fun then Mr Newman is here as well, he called me again I head there while they having the feast.
"Alex…seems Victoria is really enjoying life now…I thank you for that…"
"Ah shucks its nothing sir…"
"You have something that I don't have…" is he acting openly to me now.?
"Ah, no way I'm just an idiot who knows how to fight"
"you being modest child…but I do hope that you visit Wales..child"
"Inshallah…"
We hang around while watching them.
"All the bills is under me so enjoy okay…"
"Thank you for the generosity…"
"son…you have a big heart…that heart of yours will go places that you will never experience"
A heart, I don't know about that because I always treated myself as a monster, an uncontrollable monster that is anytime will destroy anything.
"I don't think you know me that well sir…" I just felt that I had to show him my true self if he thinks that I have a big heart. I show him my face when no one that I know. The way he look at me and he see it.
"That eye…"
"Someday I know in my heart that this darkness within me will eat me, and I will become a true monster. Because I know in my heart that if someone dearly to me hurt, I will not forgive that and I will destroy them. I will take everything from them. I will hurt them like they hurt someone that I protect."
"Son…."
"Don't say good things about me anymore, I just don't feel that way, I realise something after I fighting with Mr Newman."
"What it is…"
"My own uncontrollable wrath…."
His eyes changes as well, he wanted to say it
"Child that thorny path of yours will reach to your destruction, I'm not mistaken that you have a big heart but I know that you went something that gave you this new strength of yours and I be…"
"I was once weak…weak that could not protect my family, I was naive…I was stupid…I hate myself at one time….I also failed to protect someone that I loved dearly.. on to this day what I want is not money nor people surrounds me but…"
Mr Newman look at me
"I…want…..power…" I show my fist to him "power to make them fear me so that they could not get closer to those that I'm going to protect…
"...…."
"I want that power….no matter what it takes…because as long they are happy….I'm willing to walk in darkness to make them happy…."
"Then you?…?"
"Like I said I'm a monster…..you don't know me really well sir…."
"I will not stop to say this but I know that you have a big heart, and that heart of yours will guide them…"
"Then you are wrong sir…"
"Then prove me…"
"Have you killed a person during your gangster life?"
"...…no..."
"i have…ever since I hold a gun, ever since I was taught to use my fist to destroy someone, ever since that I don't feel anything after I kill"
"The first kill was a drug pusher, I just shoot him…it took 4 bullets to kill him…"
"After that another person who is a someone who stab me and I punch that asshole until he does look to have a face anymore"
I open my clothes to show him what I mean
"….Jesus….child….that is terrible, your scar…"
"For every scar that I took, I killed one of them, but some I sent to the hospital that is my sin….sir…if you believed I have a big heart…"
Flashback come to me, every action I took to kill.
"At least 20 people I killed before I become what I am today…"
"...son…."
"Don't just assume that I have a big heart…."
He suddenly hold my arm and said to me something that I will never forget
"Then….this hand is filled with blood, but its also filled with joy those that you protect. That hands of yours had build up friendship like that behind you..take a good look in their faces"
I look at them the joyfulness of their life.
"Look at each of them, I know each one of them you help them, that big heart of yours lead it this way. Look at the friendship that you forge child, if this monster that I see in front of me that create such bonds, is not even a monster to begin with but a person who went through such perilous journey…the bond that you make now is what makes you strong, what makes you become not a monster but a true friend to them, like you did to my Victoria…she is stronger than ever who she was before…when I talk to her, its always what she wants..before this she only wanted to be alone but this…is the one that I have always believed in you child…"
"Bonds…friendship…."
He hold my shoulder
"If solitude that you seek child then you are wrong…you are special in every single way…never forget the bonds that you create…until the end…"
He walk out headed to the feast and I look at the night skies, I started to remind myself who I am, but I will never forget that I am monster, and someday it will destroy this bond. But in my heart, even I destroy this bond there is only one thing in my mind. The only thing that I cherish the sacrifice that Frederica gave me….
I look at them, they are calling me to come back, the bonds that i made.
