Chapter 11 : * The Srangers *

The unknown Prince and his sisters had become a sensational star for about a month, there had been witnesses saying they remember the same scenario in the bank that happened many years ago, and the boy was younger and they assumed he was the same boy they had seen.

" Wow! he had grown a lot since the last time I saw him in the bank with the same odd looks who had protected his mom against the bank holduppers", one of the witnesses said.

Because of those happening that had been shown in television and print media his mother and sisters as well as his father was interviewed by some known and unknown personalities Karen and Joseph never allow their son to be interviewed by anybody, they had provided pictures as family instead.

" Champ ! Locas! King! you're so noisy, I couldn't sleep!", Kate complaint while covering her ears because of the loud barks of their three dogs. They allow the dogs to roam around the lawn and they do not beleive in putting chain on their dogs, they prefer to let them move freely around.

They beleive that dogs are suppose to watch over and protect their property and family. Why should you keep dogs if you'll just bound them in chain? how they can protect their human family if they can't move around freely.

"That's why when their dogs were barking they know that there are some unknown people that seems keeping an eye on their family , who had been watching them from afar.

" Ma,have you notice those men? seems they're observing us", Prince told his mother secretly pointing at the man with cigarette in hand standing just outside of their gate and at the other side of the road is another man, obviously they know each other because sometimes they talk to each other as they see in their cctv records.

" Yes, I notice them for almost three days now, few days ago your papa saw him the other one in the other side of the road in the farm, but he no longer notice where he goes when he started working on his paperworks in the farm", Karen replied.

" What do you think ma, are they up to something not so good ?", Prince asked.

"I'm not sure my son, but what I want you to do is be vigilant and careful, be watchful of your sisters", Karen's adviced.

" Yes mama, but I want you to inform me incase they have some inappropriate actions against you and the girls", Prince told his mother.

" Don't worry about us son, we 're old enough to take care of ourselves, I am more worried about you and your sisters", Karen said.

" Mama, I can take care of myself and I can always fight back, they should be scared of me or rather they'll talk to my muscles!",, Prince brag jokingly displaying his hard earned muscles in his self defense training.

" Wow, my son was beginning to be boastful, let me check the muscles you're talking about?!", Karen laughingly joked but deep inside her heart she's aware of her son's capabilities and it is really worth bragging about.

" Ma, I'm serious! they can't harm me, but I can cause them big amount of body damaged if I choose to but of course I know that you and papa will never allow me to hurt anyone", Prince said.

" Of course! we want you to be kind and be respectful of everybody, nobody has the right to hurt anybody." Karen answered.

." But I will kill if they hurt you, papa, and my sisters! I will never allow them to harm any of you", Prince swear.

" I know my son, you had proven already how much you loves us and I know you'll protect us from harm you did it not just once but twice already ", Karen said.

As days goes by, Prince notice that more men are coming and observing their family. Knowing they seems on a watchlist makes Prince agitated he do not like the idea that they are guarded , for what? he had no idea . He wanted to confront those men of their intention but Karen do not allow him, she knows that once provoked her son secret will be revealed if he got piss off, and that will cause more danger. It was Joseph who confront one of the men but the guy just turned his back grinning insolently without a single word.

" What if we move out of here?", one night

Karen suggested that surprised her husband .

" I understand how you feel but that might cause more suspicion if they'll no longer see us around here, beside they're not doing anything against us ", Joseph explain.

" I don't like the feeling that we are being observed in our own home, besides are we going to wait til they do something hateful against us?", Karen asked her husband.

" We can stay with mom while we process our papers going abroad we need to be out of the country as soon as possible" Joseph answered after twenty minutes of thinking quietly, he is aware that his wife is getting irritated for feeling unsafe in their own home, he wanted also safety for his family as soon as possible, anyway they had save enough for emergencies like this.

" No, she will just worry if she heard the reason why we want to go abroad, besides we will endanger her if we stay with her" Karen

protested.

" Yeah, you're right! dad is still out of the country right now , he will be back in two months time. I will talk to Biance, if there is still available unit in her apartments ", as Joseph remember his cousin Biance whom is married to a japanese man who has a japanese wife in his own country , his first wife lives in japan and he married Biance for a business ventures and they had invested on apartments business.

" That's much better, I guess", Karen agreed. Biance had been worried when he heard of the story of Joseph.

" What? then how's the kids? are they okey? they had been a victim of such unfortunate event then inspite of that it's your family that they bother? how burdensome people, then what do you think is the reason they pursue your family?", Biance asked.

" I have no idea, I assume it might be because my daughters was saved by that person,they might assume we know that guy personally and they are waiting for him to show up in our home" , Joseph explained his assumptions.

" Or they were just media practitioner looking for a big news from you guys", Biance assumed.

" Even if that is the case but because of the fact that they are observing my family and we felt threatened , I need to act sooner than necessary to bring them to safety", Joseph said.

" Of course I understand you cuz , I don't like the feeling that you are walking in danger, but right now there is no available unit for your family in my apartments, so I rather let you use one of my vacation house that we seldom use but it was in a far from town location what's good in it is you'll be much safer there ", Biance suggested.

." Thanks for your help, Karen will be very happy for that", Joseph said.

" But how about the kids? how about their school, it will not be easy for them to go to school if you will transfer there ?", Biance asked.

" We will enroll them for a home school study for a while", Joseph replied.

" On saturday let's have a picnic at the honesty grove, invite auntie and your brothers and sisters family and I'll bring my whole family including my mom and dad and siblings ,it will looks like a family affair and from there we will bring Karen and the kids in the vacation house after the picnic just make sure no ones following you so we can go there after the picnic .", Biance has a plan in mind which Joseph agreed.

All plans of Biance had materialize when saturday came, the couple wake up early and prepare foods to be brought for the family picnic, they leave early to avoid traffic.

The whole family enjoyed the picnic, and after saying goodbye to their family, Biance rode with Karen and Josephs car to accompany them to their family's vacation house . Joseph agreed that she's right regarding the distance, both Kate and Maggy were heavily sleeping when they arrive at the place. It was a fully furnish bungalow type with a cared lawn and spacious garage.

Karen and Joseph were very impressed with the home structural design, probably Biance's japanese husband must have spend a big amount of money for this property. The house had three bedroomswith built in cabinets.

" Can I have this room papa, I like the wall papers and colors?", Prince told his father when he see the green wallpapered room Joseph nodded his head in agreement.

" I love this room mama, look at the wall flower design! how I love baby pink color , very nice to look at", Kate who wake up when they arrive at the house, she knows that her aunt Biance had lent them her vacation house to stay at.

while their parents was processing their papers for abroad.

" I am happy that you like your rooms Prince and Kate,, from now on this will be your home, I hope you'll be safe while you're staying here ", Biance told Prince, kate, Karen and Joseph.

" Of course I love it!", Karen said.

" I'm glad you love it, I hope you'l take good care of my house as though your own home", Biance said.

" Of course we will and thank you very much for your help , you're heaven sent to my family", Joseph told Biance emotionally.

" Anytime that you'll need my help and I'll have the capabilities I will never hesitate to extend help to you ,what is family for if I'll let you down", Biance replied.

" Are you sure it is okay for your husband if we stay here? ", Karen asked.

" Don't worry, my husband Naka seldom comes home, he always stay in japan where his wife and three childrens live, anyway as long as he do not abandon me and my son Narume then its okey with me", Biance told them.

" You have a very comfortable life with your son , for you are financially stable so there's no reason for you to complain right?", Joseph asked.

" Actually ,everytime he came he just collected the money from the bank that I had collected from monthly rentals of the apartment I am just his money keeper the one collecting the rent in his apartments every month and deposit it in the bank", Biance said.

" Are you happy with that set up?", Joseph asked his cousin sympathetically.

" Of course I am, I have more than everything I need ,besides from the fact that I am the boss when he is not around", Biance assured her cousin with a laugh.

" Good for you and I am happy that you are contented in what you have", Joseph said.

" It's a shame to admit but of course it is open knowledge in our family that I marry Naka because of his money, but I never regret that decision because I had help in uplifting my poor family because of that", Biance said.

" As long s you're happy and contented with your life and condition, who are we to judge and demean you?", Joseph countered.

" Thanks for that, by the way I need to get going because Narume might be looking for me now", Biance said.

" Thank you is not enough right now, you're an angel that was sent to us, we are happy to have you as family", Karen said as she hug and kissed Biance on the cheek.

" Don't worry about it just be safe and be strong in those trials that comes your way as family, let those trials be your motivation to be the best that you can as a person and family ", Biance reminded them.
