In together /Xie Yu returns.

Miss Old Gindi waited patiently for her friend. It did been years since she left to run her business in the US. She sat waitingly as the huge watch hanging on the wall infront of her counted minutes after minutes. She had waited for more than half an hour, yet she had not seen her. She should have left the terminal by now, what's taking her this long? She wondered as she started pacing around the area outside the terminal, like a loiter.

Today was Bai Songyi's burial, she must have landed. Maybe she is has some issue with the immigration staff. She thought all along as she kept looking out. Terminal C was full of foreigners, she must be among that group coming out, she hurried over just as she spotted the swanlike beauty walking majestically with three men in tuxedos accompanying her. She was in a pair of expensive arti suit, a semi-miniskirt to say, almost greyish in color. She did change ever since she left.

Miss Old Gindi looked at her with a smile as strangers walked past her, not bothering her,an old mama. The beauty she had been waiting was someone more than a friend, her name was Xie Yu, sister to Bai songyi. She remembered the day Xie Yu left to US, Bai Songyi was her only friend at that time, that was when she they became sisters.

Xie Yu was more of like a sister too. She noticed Miss Gindi just as had been, unable to hide her joy as she smiled exposing her white sparkling teeth.

She wanted to run towards her but just walked turkishly, swaying her behind in a matter that made all men take a glance.

"Hi!" Xie Yu ran straight into Old Miss Gindi's hug, just like when she used to when she was younger.

Old Miss Gindi missed her so much as she hugged her back. It was a real bad time. She was here for the burial and also to see Katumo's face as he is sentenced to death or whatever.

"Let's get home." Miss Old Gindi said after formalities. The men hired to look after Moonsun Boss stood like poles, not interfering nor talking anything unwanted.

"Sure, lead the way." Xie Yu happily let Miss Old Gindi who had came along with a driver lead them all out. It was by good luck she had suggested picking the black range rover from Aleko, a man working undercover as a mechanic at the village.

They drove safe all the way back to the highland. This road at this hour was clear, with lesser vehicles than late hours. Not long,they were inside Miss Old Gindi's mansion.

"Wow.!" Xie Yu exclaimed.

"The arbour, it's more like paradise." She praised as she let her mercenaries leave her luggage at the door to have some breathe.

"You have employed security guards?" Xie Yu noticed the guards, more then 20 over the place.

"It's a real bad time, I can't report to the police... Not like they can't help... But it would just be wasting time." Miss Old Gindi tried explaining but Xie Yu interrupted her.

"Is ok, I understand this all."

"Where are the kids?" She asked as she noticed the only person present was the maid who had left to get lunch ready.

"Uhm, I let them leave to Ge's Manor." Miss Old Gindi said while taking off her jacket. "We are going over to the Ge soon too, after lunch."

"Why did you have to take them to that place?!" Xie Yu asked. She was worried that Jake would not be able to feed on the news after he learnt he was actually not Katumo's son.

"Don't mind, Prince Ge knows how to handle this." Old Gindi was confident as she said so.

"How is business?" She diverted the story as the maid brought in lunch.

"Business is all well. So far we have established major branches in Germany, Czech and China." Xie Yu explained happily as she reached forward to serve the hot soup.

"You love African dishes so much." She gave a compliment, "This is so delicious." She ran her tongue along her pink lips as she wiped the soup stain with a napkin.

Her Mercinaries, outside the house, too enjoyed the meal as they tossed the pots around merrily, to them this was a vacation too.

"Ever since you let me control Moonsun, I've always wondered who is the real boss." Xie Yu asked after a long table talk.

Old Miss Gindi didn't answer as she too didn't know how to answer.

"I thought Bai corporates with you at first." She finished up her sentence.

"Is good you have the job and fame." Miss Old Gindi informed her. "Don't mind about who is above you, as long as you work well, like it's your own Company."

Time ticked slow as the dishes were cleared and they had to visit Ge, it was a meeting planned all along.

"Above you is God. Work hard for him." Miss old Gindi chuckled as Xie Yu had already got over it and laughed slightly as they walked out of the mansion. She was tired and needed rest, but the spirit to adventure and meet her nephew and niece was strong.

The driver who had drove them back waited patiently for them. He leaned on the vehicle as he held his phone, absorbed in whatever he was doing.

"Hey. Mr. Yumaa!" Miss old Gindi frightened him as he panicked.

"Oh, you done?... Let's go." Sure it was Mr. Yumaa, he had returned after a long period of disappearance.

"Welcome all!" Prince Ge was high now as he introduced the three elders in the family.

"Some one is missing." One of the elders, the most talkative of the three, Elder San noticed.

"They are almost." Prince Ge said as his butler quickly made a call to confirm.

Of all the people in the room,Prince Ge was the one who stole the show. At this point Bryan found his similarity in Berick, they were both bored sick with this prince.

Everyone else atleast seemed to be drown in getting to know each other, "I wanna sleep." Berick whispered only for Bryan to hear.

"Let's wait, I sense something is about to happen." Bryan whispered back as the butler ran to his lord and whispered into his ears.

A wide smile folded on his big mouth as he listened to his butler.

One thing Mrs Yumaa was sure about was that she was safe in this territory, second Miss Old Gindi must have had a reason to bring them in here.

It was not a long wait, the butler ushered in who they did not expect. Miss Old Gindi and Xie Yu, her mercenaries as always,acting cool, behind them.

"Welcome Aunt Gindi." Prince Ge announced as the elders stood up and offered their hands in exchange.

"Aunt?" Both Mae and Jake exclaimed as they got up from their chairs.

Xie Yu too exclaimed as the two now big kiddos wrapped her in their hug.

This was so emotion as she hugged back.

The room was not that noisy, not everyone knew who this goldish lady accompanying Old Gindi was. Even Mae didn't know exactly despite her behavior, but she resembled her mother pretty well.

"Let's all sit and talk what brought us here." Prince Ge tried to bring the family union to a quick end. Jake who had already broke off from the hug with tears stared at Mae's. He loved her so much, he wished he was a billionaire, he would have build her all dreams true.

The room was silent after a while as everyone was ready to know what was the agenda.

Jake looked up at prince Ge. Though they were of the age set, Ge was a year older.

"Everyone knows of what has been happening lately." Prince Ge started, "Despite the ignorant behavior of the government, don't forget and end up revealing your self..." At this point, Jake who was an unemployed judge had already joined the dots.

"In this room, some of us are victims of terror other are targets to be eliminated from life. I'm not going to hide a thing. All Katumos are bound to die soon while Bryan there, is the main person wanted dead or alive."

Prince Ge was a member of the hooded 4, a group of leaders who were against the government. They were rebels to be on point, so was the Kolagi.

But that was information he had to hide for his own safety.

"From today onwards, Jake is my sworn in Brother." Prince Ge exclaimed surprising every one.

"We have to protect them." He finished up his words as the Elders agreed. This meeting was boring. Even from the talks and way of discussion, it was boring. Only Jake and his sister seemed to be able to share the bed as they felt the danger lurking outside.

"Tomorrow we lay our mother Bai Songyi to rest." An Elder informed them.

"I thought it was today?" Miss Old Gindi sounded confused.

"No it's not today," another elder dropped in the discussion as he let those who were dozy get to leave. He understood it must have been like living in a nightmare, losing both parents overnight.

*****

"Jake, don't leave yet. We had a talk remember?" Prince Ge held Jake back as the meeting dissolved.

"Yeah I remember." Jake sat down again as Jake rubbed his chin finding the exact words he had been thinking over to use.

As everyone was getting along inside the manor, Abi walked into Angels Police station. She had decided to expose the governor, to reveal everything she knew, she was the first witness who had evidence to put Katumo behind bars for good.

Author's note.

Writing a story is not that easy.

Staying away from the pen just makes me fantasize.

Sometimes I feel like giving up but keep updating. Its not about talent.

But

about persistence and will to keep going.
