When Sima opened the door, she saw a giant man in blue coat and a hat, looking at her. He looks strong and compassion.
The man bow to her and utter, "Rollin at your service ma'am".
"Oh, you're here. Please will you show me your duty ID card?"
And the man checked inside his pocket and brought out a green card. On it there's his photo, legal name and clear duty identification number. "Have the prove ma'am?"
"Sure Sir, I am sorry it's been hard. And it's my duty to look after her. I will not let anything bad happen to her".
"You're very vigilant ma'am. And you're very right to ask me reveal my true identity before handling me the girl. And do not worry, I will keep her safe with me".
"Sure Sire" sounded Sima and she bowed. "Meil is a simple girl. She will not give you headache. Let me call her for you then" and she turned to call, "Meil my child! Meil ma'am!".
Meil heard a call and she quickly ran outside. And she embraced Sima, laughing.
"Okay Meil my child, easy. Here's your daddy's man, Mr. Rollin. He's a senior commando of police. And he's going to take you to school. Do not give him a headache and be very brave okay".
"Yes aunt".
"Let's go. Have you take your water bottle and your food?"
"Yes, it's in my bag" replied Meil before they walked out. And she continue to raise her hand to her, "bye".
"Bye dearest. Take care!" sounded Sima. She stood for some minutes until Rollin drove away before she walked back home and closed the door.
Rexim was in his office as he was checking some files. Shortly he dropped everything before he took the cell phone and dial the numbers. It was the line of his house. Sima ran downstairs with a blue-color long dress. She was holding a frying pan in her hands. As she was trying to reach the phone. And luckily she reached out the phone. As she kept down the frying pan before she took the phone, "hello Sir".
"Madam Sima, how's everything?"
"Everything is fine Sir".
"I was worried about ...".
"Meil ma'am, Mr. Rollin has picked her to school this morning. And I didn't allow her to follow him until I see the prove of his legal duty".
"That's very brave Madam Sima. I couldn't reach out to them so I wonder how their situation ...?".
"Oh, or do you think I should follow them?"
"No, that's not the solution. I will leave my office now. I will head to the school right away".
"Sure Sir. And if there's anything ... Please if there's anything, inform me".
"Okay" and Rexim hung off the call. Then he switched off the laptop and close it. And he packed it in his suitcase along with some books and pen. Then he walked out of his office. There he met his secretary, Kim a Korean origin before he went out.
As she greets him with respect. "Good afternoon Sir".
"Ah! Kim, good day" answered Rexim in a hurry.
And Kim added, "forgive me for wasting your time sir, but there are some guests that has arrived two hours ago. I asked them to wait for you Sir just as you pleased".
"Ooh no, I truly forget about it. Where are they?"
"There are outside. I will call them for you" and Kim stood to go.
"Oh wait" Rexim stopped her. Then he continue, "ask them to come tomorrow".
"Sir ...".
"Apologize to them on my behalf please. I know I have been unfair to them but it's strict for me now to wait. I have a daughter at school and you know it's only our maid left at home. I cannot tell her to leave home while I am outside".
"I understand the situation sir. And don't worry, I will fix everything with the clients. And i will make them understand. But sir, are you really certain that you'll meet these people tomorrow? so I should not tell them otherwise".
"Yes I am very sure. Tell them that" .
And Kim answered with pleasant smile on her face, "it's alright Sir. Safe journey".
"Likewise" answered Rexim in a hurry as he went out. Not far from the company, his car was packed at the center. As the driver opened the car door for him and he entered. He dropped his suitcase with him, in great tense as the driver drove away.
Rexim was still thinking of what happened in the past.
[Sia pressed the dagger on her forehead, said "if my family will be safe after my death, then I have no option Rexim. Please forgive me, even for the sake of our only daughter".
As Rexim was trying to stops her. And he ran to collect the gun from her hand.
But it's too late as she has already run the bullet through her head and she moved back, feeling dizziness.
As Rexim hold her in his arms before she felt. "What have you done to us Sia?" Asked Rexim, bleeding tears from his eyes. And he held her head up with his hands.
Sia was still hyperventilating as she carefully looked at him. "Forgive me Rexim, this is the only way we'll succeed. These people will never stop and I will never allow the death of innocent people to continue. I know, after my death, everyone should believe that the mission of Raz's termination has gone. But ..." And she inhaled the air carefully.
"Sia!" Said Rexim, helping her to raise up.
"I have written my whole life story which will be given to Meil when she grow old. I have faith in her that she will fulfill my mission of what I failed to do. Keep her safe and also take good care of yourself".
"Do not say that. You have given your life for taking revenge of the injustice done to your family. It's all my fault and I should surrender" said Rexim as he cried.
And Sia quickly utter, "please don't. Please Rexim, we are never a fellows of failure. We will succeed in this mission. Have faith in that. Now after I passed, take Meil and left the country. Do not return until the time comes".
And Rexim nodded his head, still crying.
Sia kindly placed her hands on his face, trying to shed his tears. "Please ... Give me courage to die happily while remembering our time together. Hmm!" She sounded carefully trying to raise his head.
A few seconds, Rexim stop crying and looked up. And he held her hands tightly in his before he spoke, "I promised to you that as I didn't fail your ability before, I will never let you down. I will make sure I give proper training to our daughter to become like you. And I will keep her safe in her childhood that no one will ever know of the past history of our times. And I will never forget you in my life. I solemnly gave you my word".
As Sia pleasantly smiled before she sounds, "thank you Rex ...im" with her last breath.
Rexim cried loud as he couldn't endure the pain of losing her].
The car stops as Rexim returned from his deep thought and he swiftly went out of the car. "You should wait her Ming. I will be back shortly" said Rexim as he walked inside the school gate. And he moved straight to the classrooms as he saw many students. As some were playing outside and some were still in their classes, having their lessons. "I pray you will be fine my daughter. Nothing bad will happened to you" he whispered in his heart. He has passed Meil's classroom before he saw their teacher, Miss Cerine. Miss Cerine is a kind and ability teacher that is possessed with acquiring human's behaviors. She has known Rexim as Meil's father being Meil as one amongst their best students.
"Hello Mr. Rexim!" Sounded Miss Cerine with respect.
And Rexim answered, "good day Miss Cerine. How are the students?"
"I ... Don't know. Only that if someone is unwell, he should try and care for himself" sounded Miss Cerine, looking strictly at him as she noticed his emotions.
"I couldn't hear from Meil, so I was so worried and I came to know whether she has came to school today or ...".
"Meil has been in school for an hours Mr. Rexim. Even their second teacher has finished his lesson with them. Who makes you stress like this? Today I have seen her with your man, ... Rin ... No ... Something like ..." As she was trying to remember the name.
"Rollin!" Sounded Rexim.
And Miss Cerine exclaimed, "of course. And there he's" she showed him to where Rollin stood and paying attention in control of every activities taking place in the school.
As Rexim turned behind and saw him. "What's he ...?" And he turned to Miss Cerine before he spoke again, "thank you so much for your care Miss Cerine. Let me go and talk to him".
"Sure Sir" answered Miss Cerine with pleasant smile on her face.
And Rexim left, leading to where Rollin was standing. From little far Rollin saw Rexim approaching him. And he walked to him.
"Sir, you're here?" Asked Rollin.
As Rexim response in tension, "why shouldn't I Rollin? Where's your phone? I keep calling you but you didn't answer".
"Forgive me sir. I really apologize. I left my phone at home. And that happened because I was rushing" explained Rollin.
And Rexim sigh with relief. "You really scared me man. I was about to lose control".
"It's all my fault. I am sorry" sounded Rollin before he added, "are you going back home or you're going back to your office?"
"No Rollin, it's better I stay here until the school close. I can only feel safe if Meil returned home safe. How many hours before the closing time?"
"It's an hour or less I expect. Let me get you a seat Sir" as he tried to go.
And Rexim stopped him. "Calm yourself. I am also an officer like you" he sounded.
As Rollin chuckled and utter, "you're my senior Sir".
"You see! So if my junior colleague can stood for hours waiting in front of the classrooms, then what's my use as a senior officer?"
And they both laughed. Rexim saw something in his hands and he asks, "what are you eating?" As he pointed at the thing of his hand.
And Rollin answered, "it's a chips sir. You should try it. While I was staying here, eating this makes me out of worried".
"Then help me with two cos I am in fragile, let alone worries".
Rollin smiled and passed it to him. And they continue to chat until school closing hours. As the school Bell was rang, all the students continue flowing out of their classrooms, cheering. Meil was also with them. Seeing Rexim makes her excited as she ran to him. And she embraced him tight.
"Ooh my ... Meil! Is this what will happen between us? Remember that it's I who brought you here" sounded Rollin funnily.
And Meil laugh before she replies, "but, but ... You're not my father. And what's the wrong about it. I am only happy to see my father. But don't get angry, you're my uncle right?"
And Rollin laughed. "Of course my child you're" and he continue, "Sure you will be very happy my dear. So, will I have a favor to take your bag to the car" as Rollin collect Meil's school bag. "Let's go sir" and he turned to walk out.
And Rexim held her hand. "Let's go my dear".
"Okay father" answered Meil politely.
And they walked outside the gate. Ming was still waiting by the car. And he carefully opened the car door for them as Rexim took Meil inside first before he and Rollin entered also.
And Rexim put on the seat belt carefully on Meil. Then the driver starts the car. And soon they left the school gate.
As Meil continue, "father, let me tell you a story".
"Go on" answered Rexim.
Then she looked at the back seat, "you should also hear me out uncle. Do not get jealous, now I didn't call his name alone".
And they both laughed including the driver. That's how she continue enlighten them with stories on their way. After they reached home, Rexim has been feeling worried, and as he know what's happening with him.
"Good afternoon sir. Meil my child!" Sounded Sima as she collect Meil's bag and embraced her.
"How are you aunt? Sorry, we left you home alone" sounded Meil.
And Sima smiled. "You're welcome my child. Come and take your bath okay. I have made your best dishes. Come on, go to your room and wait for me okay".
"Okay Aunt" answered Meil and she ran inside.
Then Sima turned to Rexim, looking at him weak and worried. "Sir! Are you okay. Sir has told me that he left his phone at home that's why we couldn't reach him. But we should thank God, since Meil was safe. Please don't overstressed yourself".
And Rexim shedded the little sweat of his face with a tissue. "It's okay Sima. Please, look after Meil and don't call me for super. Do not allow anyone to enter my room please, I need some time alone" he sounded in worried.
And Sima answered politely, "as you wish sir".
Then he left to his room. As he entered the room, he threw the suitcase on the bed. Then he walked and sat in the chair facing the mirror. It was Sia's face that continue appearing before his eyes and his mind. And he felt in deep thought.
