CHAPTER 33&34
“Oh my babies!” Mrs Woods cried out.
“Ma’am! Ma’am!!” Mrs Woods as-sistant ran to her holding a cell phone.
“WHAT!!” She barked, cleaning her tears.
“Yo…You have a call” She stammered.
“And do I look like someone who wanna receive a stupid call, huh?!”
The woman gulped. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“It’s actually the head sister of the cathedral and St. Peter orphanage”
“What?! Why… why is she calling?”
“I don’t know”
Mrs Woods snapped the phone from her and accepted.
“Hello, Sister Hannah” Mrs Woods tried her best to sound cool
“Mrs Woods! Good Morning,, We recieved the 80 billion won to start establishing our long-wished Orphanage” Sister Hannah said, happily.
Mrs Woods wide-ned her eyes in shock while her listening ears, twitch in disbelief.
“Bless you,Mrs Woods and thank you so much”
Mrs Woods chuckled, nervously.
“You are welcome. I’m always willing to help in any way”
Sister Hannah smiled warmly.
“Sister Hannah,, I…I gotta go. I’m really busy. Let’s talk later”
“Sure” She replied and Mrs Woods ended the call.
“Wait!! What’s she talking about? Did someone finally get a hold of my diamonds and handed cash to them?!! But who?!” She screamed in agony.
She also shook her head vehemently, in vexation, and stomped her feet, devastatedly.
BOXING RING**
Cindy was breathing fast and loud.
With arms akimbo,She beckoned to Oliver “Go try yours, and hit the punching bag, really ha-rd with ha-rd and do so, with no pity”
Oliver eyed the standing digital camera, before moving to punching bag.
He clenched his fist and raised it.
He praticed loud, heavy inhalation and exhalation.
He also jumped mildly.
Cindy smi-rked, watching him and kept her arms folded on her che-st.
Oliver started punching it.
“And why are you are being too gentle and soft?” Cindy queried.
Oliver paused and looked at her.
“And what does that mean?”
Cindy took her eyes away and went closer to the punching bag.
Oliver scoffed and stood beside her.
She started punching it really fast and ha-rd, without pausing too.
She was gr-unting, aloud.
She finally stopped and looked at Oliver.
“Do it,,, just like I did”
She walked away from it and Oliver went closer.
“Make sure to concentrate, Oliver” Cindy told him.
“I’ll show you” He whispered and started giving it heavy punches, amidst loud growlings.
Now this punching bag was the type standing firmly on the air with a long, ha-rd rope attached on the top to the near ceiling.
“Yes!! Yes!,,, You are doing it. But add more speed. fas-ter!” Cindy hailed.
Oliver screamed like an admiral in a battle field as he increa-sed his speed and strength.
“That’s more like it as far as the first step is concerned”
Oliver punched it, but suddenly, the punching bag came back to him, in a rush.
It slammed his face ha-rd.
He fell down on the floor and fainted at a go.
“Fu-ck!” Cindy quickly ran to him.
“Hey! Oliver! Wake up! Oliver!! Aiish!! He really fainted. Goshhh!!” She ranted.
A BAR**
Malcolm sipped his alcohol gently.
He looked up and smiled when his eyes fell on Rhoda who just walked in.
She briefly looked around, before sighting Malcolm who waved to her.
She smiled and moved closer to him, before taking her seat.
“Am I the only one you called here? I thought you told me its was a gang celeBr@tion based on our success”
“Huh… I guess the rest are all busy?” He mumbled.
Rhoda smiled gently.
“Oh… Thank you. I recieved my share of the deal. I also loved the diamonds you sent me. It seemed mine was even the hu-gest”
“No,,, It’s nothing. You deserve it” He scratched the back of his head.
Rhoda smiled.
“Huh…What about Ariana?”
“What about her??” Malcolm questioned.
“Uhm… I heard she did’nt recieve anything”
“And why would she? She is’nt part of the gang. She’s just with us cause of the reasons beknown to us”
Rhoda chuckled softly to his response and Malcolm heard it, surely. written by sommy pearl f.
“Why..did you chuckle?” He asked, gently.
“Huh? Uh,,, Not…Nothing” She stuttered.
“Uh, Ok then. What would you like to have?” Malcolm asked.
Rhoda looked at his own glas-s.
“I’m gonna have what you are drinking”
Malcolm wide-ned his eyes and briefly shook his head.
“I’m not sure you can hold this liquor. It’ll knock you down at a go and I can’t as-sure you of your consciousness”
Rhoda laughed.
“C’mon, Don’t act like you don’t know me now. I told before. Everything about me changed! I evolved! I smôke bad, drink any Fu-cking ha-rd liquor except hooch, of course” Rhoda said.
“Hmm…Hooch?” Malcolm raised his brows.
“Yeah. You don’t really know how to handle the drink, likewise. Ah! Malcolm! Remember back then when we were still a part of Leo Da Cruz? You and Gilberto drank a bottle of hooch. Gilberto was still sober but you got drunk and behaved somehow” She laughed, quietly.
Malcolm faked a loud cough.
“I’m sure he rigged his drink”
“Ayy… Don’t act like you don’t know Gilberto too well. He was one of the strongest men we had in the cartel then. Regardless of being a Korean like us. He was really devoted and faithful to our Don, before he pas-sed away” Rhoda sighed.
“Uh…So, what of Gilberto? Did he leave the cartel?”
Rhoda ran her eyes around, nervously.
“…I,,, do…don’t know” She stuttered.
“Okay then” He nodded.
“Let me order yours” He said.
“No” She said, sharply, holding his left wrist which laid on the table.
Malcolm raised his eyes to her.
“Don’t worry. I’m good. I gotta” She hurriedly stood up, taking her bag.
“But why?” He asked, sadly.
“Uh. I just remembered I left the shower on. I really really gotta go. I’m sorry. Bye” She waved and ran off. written by sommy pearl f.
Malcolm sighed de-eply and took out a hu-ge cigarette which he lit and began to smoke.
“For once, I just wanted to spend more, quality time with her” He whispered to himself.
Rhoda peeped at Malcolm from where she hid.
She took her gaze and bit on her fingers.
“as-suming, I stayed there with him for a sec more, My darn mouth would have spewed everything” She whispered, and, glanced at him.
“I’m gonna protect you Malcolm” She bit her lower li-p in thoughts, before, finally, walking away.
MEANWHILE***
Malcolm exhaled, seeing his empty glas-s and bottle.
He gave a gesture to the bartender, who obendiently went to him.
“A bottle of hooch” He said.
“Sir??” The bartender asked, with slightly wide eyes.
“You heard me” Malcolm said, coarsely with a serious glare.
“Sure. Sure, Sir” The bartender bowed and rushed to the cellar.
R-BREEDS HOSPITAL**
“Goodness! My body especially my joints is serious aching. Yeah,,, and that’s thanks to that bâstard called Oliver. He can never learn” Cindy Gr0-ned, cracking her ne-ck and arms.
“Did I hear you say Oliver?” Someone asked from behind.
Cindy gushed lowly and turned to only see Gina.
“You really scared me and no, I said no such thing as Oliver. Who’s Oliver?” She huffed with an eye roll.
Gina looked de-eply at her, suspiciously.
“By the way, I heard about your mum’s lab. My condolences”
Gina frowned.
“And who do you think you are, exactly to send your Fu-cking condolences! Keep to your self……”
As Gina kept ranting out at Cindy, She suddenlly and unusually sp-otted someone behind Gina.
The person was ascending the stairs.
“Kev?” She whispered with a smile.
She walked out of Gina, who was still going on and on with her rants.
Gina quickly turned around, stunned.
“Wait. Did she just walk out on me while I was still talking? That…that little rat” She snarled, pointing at Cindy, who, was ascending the stairs.
****
Ariana was really suprised seeing Malcolm walk into the house, really drunk.
“Mister…” Her voice trailed off.
He just walked past her.
“Aren’t you supposed to be in the hospital?” He asked, staggering to his room.
“I was discharged just now. They treated my burns, prescribed medications and gave me ointment too” She responded, followed him, from behind.
Malcolm tiredly laid on the bed after flunging his shoes and jacket away.
Ariana sighed de-eply sighed and picked them up.
She was about when he suddenly held her slim hand.
“Huh? You okay?” She quickly turned turned to him.
She saw that, his eyes were still closed.
She bent down, close to him and studied his handsome face from up close.
She couldn’t help but get immersed.
She smiled, watching him.
Malcolm suddenly opened his eyes and shyly, she threw her eyes.
Malcolm looked at her face. He didn’t take his eyes away, nor his hand,,, which rather still held onto her, still.
Malcolm lifted his hand and tou-ched the left side of her face.
“You’re never this shy. So, look at me”
Ariana swallowed nothing down her throat before, She slowly and carefully took her face to him.
Malcolm smmiled, seeing ‘RHODA’ facing him.
He thought it was a bit unusual for her to be there with him at that moment but he really didn’t care.
He tou-ched her face, fondly, drew it towards his own face, and smashed their li-ps together.
