The Man Kill Us

REIGN'S POINT OF VIEW

"MOM, Dad why are you packing clothes?" I don’t remember us leaving.

They looked sad as if that look was frightening.

"Reign, your cousin Brenda is dead."

"W-what? When else?" Brenda has leukemia but aunt says her condition is getting better.

"Just last night." Dad replied as he lifted the bags.

"I'll fix my things in a minute."

"Reign, you're not coming with us. You're still busy, aren't you? When you have a sem-break, then you'll follow."

"But you know that my cousin and I are very close and I won't allow myself not to see her even in the last moments."

"Your cousin and Margarita will understand that."

"But mom."

"Just listen to me during your sem-break and then follow."

My tears are flowing because of sadness. Like I said, my cousin and I are very close. We still call each other sisters. When I found out she got sick two years ago I always visited her and sometimes even accompanied wherever she went. She was very sensible in everything so when the doctor asked her I was very sad. I don't have a sister but I'm still alive and I consider her a real sister and that's Brenda.

"Be careful here." Dad said last as they took out their belongings.

"Mom, bring this cellphone of mine. Just call Shien when you get to the province." She took it once into his carry-on bag.

"As I told you when we're not there you always close the door. If possible, take your friends with you so that somehow we can be safe in the distance. Reign, always be careful as long as you tell me." She kept reminding us as we left the house.

It will be twilight that I can’t look at things around. Only pole lights serve as light to the three of us.

"Please call Shien right away. Mom, please tell my other cousins and aunt my condolences." They both nodded in front of me before getting into a car that dad used every time there was a trip.

"Well, don't forget to take your medicines. Don't make me tired either, mom. Don't worry about me too much I'll be alone." I said again while peeking out the car window.

"Thank you daughter, we're leaving." They said one last thing before the vehicle went away.

I am home alone again. This is what always happens whenever my parents leave. I started cleaning the house after that bath to go to work.

"Hi Reign."

"Hello Shien."

"Let's be together again." She said with a smile.

"Where's Georgia?"

"Go away. Go away and say goodbye at last." Laughing like crazy.

"Happy?"

"Yeah, it's just like you're not happy. Do you have a problem?"

"My cousin Brenda is dead."

"Oh my god, she have a leukemia? When else? Condolence friend." She hugged me tightly.

"She died last night. I'm sad because they didn't take me to the province."

"Hey, it's a pity that friend you're not at home anymore."

"That's how it is."

"I'll just go with you while my momand dad aren't back yet."

"Are you sure?" I was sadly curious.

"Sure, now I have to go with you because you're sad. Let me say goodbye to mommy." She took the cellphone and called. She said his parents agreed and she will stay at home.

"You're not in today, are you?" Shien inquired as she adjusted herself.

The boss let us out early at about two in the morning. There are new employees now so the boss agrees that I will only be at work for a while. It's better not to get too late.

"The next day, where are you going?"

"I'm day-off today I'll meet my boyfriend."

"You have a boyfriend."

"You're the only one who doesn't." She replied to my joke.

"Yes, you're better than me."

"No! We're both beautiful. You're so beautiful and no one can mistake you."

"I'm not ready yet. I'm thinking I'll have two more years to wrestle before I graduate."

"Life is boring without inspiration. You have to have a boyfriend so we can double date."

"You know one day you'll be surprised because I already have a date." I winked then we walked out of our house together.

"Where will I take you down?"

"It's just around the corner near our meeting place."

"You're on board." At once handing her a helmet. "Safety first."

As she said, she went down the corner. I went straight to church for a while, it was still early so I still had time to thank the Lord God. A lot has also happened since I became a gangster. There and I forgot to approach him despite his kindness to me.

Then I entered. Joseph stood outside our room while leaning on the plant box. Suddenly his face lit up when he saw me coming. It was as if something was beating here in my heart as he slowly greeted me at these times. There is something strange on her face now she is not wearing a bonnet. I can see what his hairstyle is. It's okay even if he doesn't wear a bonnet anymore because he makes his hair more handsome.

** SHIEN'S POINT OF VIEW **

"Wesley!"

"Shien, have you been here before?"

"My friend didn't deliver me, did you?"

"I just arrived. Where's our date?"

"At the mall."

"It's early, the mall opens at nine o'clock, isn't it?"

"Of course, let's eat some space first."

"Porridge house?"

"Don't you want to?"

"I thought we were going to eat at the restaurant."

"Huh? But I still don't have a budget. I promise you I'll bet now but I don't expect you not to type in the space."

"I don't eat porridge." He said frowning.

"All right at the restaurant let's eat." I sighed as I even hid it for my brother’s birthday. He requested that I buy a bike.

"Let's go." He carried me to the restaurant.

THROUGHOUT the day we were together he always let me know that someone was going to interrupt so my case was just waiting for him to arrive. I think we just spent a long time together at the restaurant and with the others I was no longer alone.

"Lets go?" it came to be fun.

"Let go? Come home? We haven't been able to talk for a long time, even though we haven't been together for a long time."

"What are we going to talk about? It's better if we don't talk often so we can miss each other."

“Is that so?” I nodded.

"We get bored right away when we always meet and the story is over."

"All right, take me with you."

"I'll deliver? I'm sorry Shien, I'll have to go after us here. I'll deliver you next time when we meet again, right?"

He held my hand as I crossed the road. My mind was so confused that I couldn't understand what he was telling me.

I was sad to go home. The boss called me if I could go to the shop for a while because the stocks arrived. Reign and I are the only ones the boss trusts here so there is no choice but to go to the shop.

"Please, check first if the receipt is correct." The deliverer told me.

"Brother, that's right, please just let everyone into our stock room."

"Thank you, I'll let you in." I nodded once closer to the new companion.

"How's our sales there?"

"It's okay Sister Shien." Lyka replied shyly.

"Have you had lunch yet?"

"Not yet."

"I'll be there at the cash register first you can eat."

"Then maybe older brother in lowering stocks."

"All right, it's up to you. I'll sit here first." They nodded again after I was busy playing on the cellphone.

I heard the shop door open as the one hanging above the door rang. I don't care, I might just buy something.

"Excuse me? Is Reign there?" I heard Friend's name. I looked at the cashier area and saw Lyka and the man looking for Reign.

"Yes? Why are you looking for Reign?" I was already standing and ready to approach but it deliberately took a bottle of juice.

"Are you his friend?" I looked him up and down.

"Yes, you, who are you?"

"Peps by the way I'm looking for her because I wanted to say something." Its small, white teeth appeared.

He's cute. Who can this Peps be? Why is he looking for my friend?

"Ms?" His finger flicked in the air.

"Ahm, I'm sorry she's not on duty right now, she's at school. What do you need from my friend?"

"Friend, uhm. She's my schoolmate but I didn't go in because I went to something. If she's not here, maybe she has a number. I'll just call her."

"Ah! She doesn't have a cellphone right now."

"Nothing? All I know is Cedric gave him a cellphone." He whispered.

"Do you know Cedric?"

Smile again. "He's my friend."

"Then are you a member of the Lucifer Kingdom?"

It seems to be thinking. "That's right but why do you know Lucifer Kingdom? Are you schoolmates too?"

"Ah no, no, ahm let Reign tell me about you."

"Is that so?" The white teeth appeared again. Her eyes are melting. "What's his address?"

Wait? He was going to Reign's house just in case later his intentions were different from my friend's.

"Even if I say you won't be able to reach that person there then his cellphone is in his parents possession which is now in the province."

"How can I talk to her?" This is a sad question.

"Ah just like that, come back here in the afternoon and then I'll join you at their house because I'll sleep there."

"Is that so? It's just that I don't have anyone else to go, maybe I can come here first? Don't worry, I'll buy your goods." He sat in my seat earlier.

"All right." I left myself close to Lyka.

"Sister Shien, who is he?"

"Peps is said to be Reign's friend, and also a schoolmate."

"Why?"

"He wanted to talk but Reign may isn't at home right now. He said he'll just wait to come with me."

"But the handsome and the tall one. Talk to him and then interview him."

"Oh! I don't want to see him now, maybe later he'll be a gangster."

"Gangster?"

Right! Lucifer Kingdom is a gangster based on what Reign told me.

I approached that Peps and was whipped as well.

"How important is that to you?" It's not looking.

"I still ordered your V-cut."

"Lyka, V-cut!" I shout. Lyka immediately approached with a V-cut.

"Thanks, another C2 please? It would have been great."

"Ah okay!" Lyca moved quickly.

"You haven't answered my question yet. How important is that you tell her?" Looked at me but with Lyka carrying it the attention was focused.

"Thank you Ms." Lyka winked before looking at me.

"Go back to the cashier area." I ordered my roommate but Peps still got the attention.

"I wish I could say something."

"About what?"

"Why are you asking if you're just his friend?"

Earlier common sense.

"I'm his friend but maybe I have the right to know your reason or what you plan to do with her."

"Young Master is telling him something."

"Who is Young Master?"

"Cedric." He had no living answer. "He said he couldn't contact Reign last night."

"Why doesn't he just talk at school?"

"He didn't come in either." His answer annoyed.

"Is that so maybe he can't contact Reign's number because the signal on the mountain is weak."

"Uhmmmm, don't you have another number there who is Reign's friend?"

I thought of Nicole but maybe she just wouldn't answer.

I try anyway.

"I'll try to call." I went out of the shop, I called Nicole just as the one who delivered to us left.

"I've already called." I went back inside. "I'll just wait because they haven't come out for lunch yet."

"Hay."

"I thought Kingdom University was your own university, why don't you just go?"

"It's okay but I prefer to be able to talk to her in their own house." I was limited. He was saying something different, maybe he was really planning something bad for my friend.

Oh no! I need a back-up! This handsome man might kill us.
