10. We Meet Again, Hana

"Not only that, however, he even tries to sell them through a dangerous place, the black market." Hana couldn't believe it. (Bastard.) Hana asks, "Did he kidnapped any kids lately?" "He doesn't do the job since he doesn't want to dirty his hands so he hired someone to do it." "Who?" "....Hana...you're not going to like it?" Hana tilts her head to the side, confused.

Ella takes out a photo and face it down on the table, slide towards Hana. Hana picks it up and flips the photo. Her eyes widened. (No way...Nana?!) Ella said in a low voice, "Hana, I saw her in person. She's alive. She didn't die in the fire." Her hands trembles. "...If that body isn't hers, then who is it?" Ella nods. "I'll go and investigate. Please keep your heads up and be careful of your surroundings." Hana nods.

Ella then left the café to start her work as Hana stays in the café with the photo in her hands. (Just who are you really, Nana..?) Meanwhile, Rui heads to work. He was notified that someone hacks into the systems and stole a few top confidential documents. Rui asks, "Where the security tapes?" "Uhh about that.." Rui looks at his employee. He takes out his cellphone and hand it to Rui. Rui takes it and plays the video.

His eyes widened as soon as he sees Hana in the video. (Hana? Why would....no...impossible...she wouldn't..) Rui glares at the employee. "Don't say a word to anybody, understand? "Y-y-y-yes." Rui immediately heads out of his company which the cellphone is still in his hand. He gets in the back of the car and told the driver to take him home immediately.

Rui looks out the window. (Hana wouldn't....no is it what I want to think that..?) He lets out a sigh. As soon as he reach home, he gets out of the car and sees Sora in the front, playing with his toys. "Ah. You're home already?" "Where's Hana?" "Mommy?" He tilts his head to the side. "She's not home yet." "I see." Rui sits down on the steps as he waits for Hana. Sora continues to play with his toys, a few minutes later, Hana arrives home. Rui stands up. Hana gets out of the car and sees Rui.

She stares at him and said, "Don't tell me you've been out here ever since I left?" "No. I just got back from work." She looks down at her watch then back at him. "You're off around this time?" "Well there's something I want to talk to you about." "Then talk." Rui looks at Sora who was playing his toys. Hana sighs and said, "Sora, can you go in and help Tay Tay with dinner?" "Okay." Sora went inside so Rui and Hana can have a talk.

"What is it?" "Where were you?" Hana knits her brows, confused. "I told you already. The café with Ella." "Anywhere else?" She crossed her arms as she glares at him. "You're doubting me?" "I just want to confirm." "Confirm? About what? That I didn't go see Zamir or any other guys?" "What did you do there?" "Where else? We talked. Drink coffee together. Why? Is that a crime now?"

Rui grips on the cellphone. "Did you went inside of my company?" Hana then realizes what was going on. "I got nothing to say." She walk pass him; however he grabs her hand. "We're not done talking." "But I am!" She pulls her hand away from his grasp. She turns to him. "Just what kind of husband are you? Suspecting me to have some shady plans?" "You don't?"

Hana got angry that she averts her eyes away from him. "You know what.." She looks at him. "I'll sleeping in a different room. It's suffocating to be sleeping in the same room as you." She turns her heels to head inside of the house. Rui just stands there, ungrip the cellphone.

He phones a friend of his. "Do me a favor. Look at the video that I sent you. Is the video real?" "Understood. I will get back to you in a few minutes." "..Yeah.." "..Hmm? What's wrong, Rui? Don't tell me you got a fight with your wife..hahah." Rui remains quiet. "EHHHH!? For reals, bro?!" Rui hangs up the call and let out a sigh. "Now...I've done it."

Hana heads into her old bedroom and locks the door. She puts her bag on the bed and sits down on the bed. (Stupid Rui...I don't care anymore.) She lays down on the bed and stares at the ceiling. Rui walks in the kitchen and doesn't see Hana anywhere. He tells a maid to call Hana to eat dinner since it's almost ready. The maid nods and heads to find Hana in her old bedroom.

Knock. Knock. "Ma'am. Dinner is ready." "Not hungry." "But.." "Tell them to eat without me." "Yes." The maid returns and delivers Hana's response. Rui was dejected that Hana didn't come out to eat with them. Sora jumps right in without realizing that they had a fight. Later that night, Sora heads into the master bedroom to find Hana; however, Hana was no where to be seen. "Where did she go?" Rui gets out of the bathroom and sees Sora with his hands on his hips.

"What did you do to her?" "What?" "Where's Hana?" "She's sleeping in a different room." "Why?" Rui averts his eyes and Sora then realizes what really happen. He points at the door, "Go and apologize to her." "What? No way. I ain't going to..." "Old man! Go and apologize to her. It's your fault anyways, right?" (Urk, it is but..) "Go. Now." Rui toss his towel on the chair and walks out the room as he was told by a little boy.

He heads to the old bedroom that Hana used to sleep in. He knocks on the door. "Hana. It's me. Open up." No response. He lets out a sigh as he rubs the side of his neck since he never ever apologize to anyone in his life. He said, "Look, I'm sorry for suspecting you for having any shady actions. I was wrong, so can you please open the door?" Still no response from Hana. He knocks on the door once more. "Hana...? Are you asleep?"

Someone stands behind him. "No I'm not." He jolts and sees Hana standing before him. "You...you weren't in the room." "If I did, then I wouldn't be standing here." She stares at him. "What do you want?" "Ummm...I'm...ummm..."

Hana was taking a walk to cool herself down, after a few minutes, she decides to return to her room; however, she sees Rui standing in front of her door. (What is he doing here?) As she walks a little bit closer, she heard him apologizing to the door. (Is it talking to the door?) Then she heard her name, without realizing it, she smiles at his actions. (Cute....wait wha--?) She closed her eyes and exhales to return to her usual self.

Sora was waiting for his father with Hana. "What is taking them so long?" The door opens and Sora's face lightens; however, its only the maid. "Ah.." He was dejected. "It's just you." Sora feels depressed. "Sorry, Young Master. Here's some glass of milk." "Mm. I'll drink it." Sora takes it and drinks the glass of milk.

The maid smiles and Sora gets off the chair. He wanted to find them but he felt the world is spinning. "Young Master?" He fell on the ground after losing his consciousness. The maid stands in front of him. "Mission accomplished." She lifts Sora into her arms and escape through the balcony. Hana changes the topic and asks, "Where's Sora?" "Ah...he wants you to come sleep with us." "I'll sleep with Sora." "What?" "You can sleep on the floor." "Why should I?" "Fine. Sora and I will sleep on the floor." "Hana."

She walk towards the master bedroom as he complains. As they enter the master bedroom, Sora was no longer to be seen. Rui walks in and said, "Hmm...he's probably went back to his room." Hana sees Sora's slippers on the floor, she turns to balcony door. (It's open?) Hana walks over to the balcony and notices a cloth tied onto one of the rails.

Hana walks back to the room. Rui notices her face went pale. "Hana..?" She looks at him. "I don't think he's in his room." "What?" "I think he's been kidnapped." Rui's eyes widened and looks around the room. He then remembers that the balcony doors were shut. Rrrinnggg...

Both of them jolts as the phone rings, they remain silent for a while. Hana then picks up the phone. "...Hello?" "Well isn't Hana." Hana was shocked. "Who..." "You seriously don't remember my voice?" Hana didn't know who was at the other end of the line. "But don't worry, we will meet again; however, tell your husband to bring the files of the Egret Compromise and bring it to Heath Warehouse. I'll be waiting." The call ends there.

Her knees got weaken that causes her to fall on the ground. "Hana." Rui stands behind her. She turns to him, "Rui." Rui raises his brow. "They want the Egret Compromise file for Sora's life." Rui knits his brows. "What?" "In order to get Sora back.." He removes himself away from her. "...Is this part of your plan?" "What?" "You hired someone to kidnapped Sora in order to get the files?"

Hana stands up and heads to the door. "Where do you think you're going?" She stops by the doorway. "Think whatever you like. Blame me just like you blame me for your parents' death." His eyes widened when she said that. She left the room and head to her bedroom. She grabs her cellphone and calls Zamir. "It's me." "What is it?" "...They got Sora..." Zamir jumps to his feet. "Hana..." "I promised her to protect him. If anything happens to him, I--" "Hana, calm down. I'll come to you. He'll be fine." "Mm." She puts her cellphone down and trying to remain calm but couldn't.

She didn't want to stay in the house where Rui cannot trust her. She grabs her bag and waits outside of Zamir. Rui sits on the side of the bed and sighs. He notices something was sticking out of the nightstand. He gets off the bed and reach out a piece of paper. His eyes widened as soon as he recognize Allie's handwriting. (A-Allie!)

~Rui..Are you well..? Sorry...sorry is what I wanted to say to you. Hana knew this and told me to tell you about it but whenever you're near me, I just can't say it. I want you to cherish only good memories of us. Rui...I reached my limit, as soon as I give birth to our child, I cannot stay by your side. I am sorry. I have a weak heart. I wanted to keep the child. Please let him live. Also, for Hana...please love her, Rui. That is my last wish for you to love her wholeheartedly. She deserves to be loved.

Rui puts the paper down on his lap. "Allie..." He then was determined of what he should do next. He immediately dash out of the master bedroom and tried to find Hana, who was outside with Zamir. "Hana!" She turns around and sees Rui. She turns away and told Zamir to get going. Rui chases after her. "Where are you going?" She remains quiet. "Hana." He grabs her hand. He stands in front of her. "Tell me..." "I don't need you. I'm getting Sora back." "I'll come." She looks at him in a foul mood.

He holds her hand with his. "....I'm sorry....for everything...so let me come with you...please?" Hana averts her eyes as she pulls her hand away from his. She gets in the car and before she close the door. "...Hurry up then." His face lightens. Zamir didn't like what he had seen; however, he didn't show his feelings. Once they reach to the Heath Warehouse, they get out of the car and stay closer to one another.

They nod and head inside of the warehouse; however, it was empty. Hana looks around to see if she can find Sora. "Hana." She heard a voice from above, she looks up and her eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she is seeing. "Told you we will be meeting again." Nana smiles at Hana. "...N-Nana..." Zamir who was standing next to Rui, who wasn't really catching on, said in a low voice, "That woman was everything to Hana until she dies in the fire. Hana believes that she's dead, well she she was supposed to be dead." Rui was shocked. "However, it seems she fakes her own death as a coverup."
