Катя. Ч. 2

Во время отпуска Сашка решил постичь тайны древних цивилизаций, поэтому потащил Катю к развалинам храма, в котором тысячелетия тому назад жрецы взывали к богам. (During his vacation, Sashka decided to understand the secrets of ancient civilizations, so he dragged Katya to the ruins of a temple where, thousands of years ago, priests called upon the gods)

Катя была уверена, что это лишь очередной аттракцион для туристов, но если мужу приспичило бросить монетку к подножию статуи, пусть развлекается. (Katya was sure that this was just another attraction for tourists, but if her husband felt like throwing a coin at the foot of the statue, let him have fun)

Но когда во время экскурсии на вертолете к ним в кабину залетел рой пчел, Сашка заявил, что это гнев богов за Катино неверие. (But when, during a helicopter excursion, a swarm of bees flew into their cabin, Sashka declared that this was the wrath of the gods for Katya’s disbelief)

Сказала бы ему Катя всё, что о нем думает, но она была слишком занята, пытаясь с дочерью спастись от роя. (Katya would have told him everything she thought about him, but she was too busy trying to escape the swarm with her daughter)

Вечером Сашка захотел осмотреть еще одни развалины в глубине острова. Аборигены рассказывали, что там сокрыт эликсир молодости, но путь к нему охраняют огненные демоны. (In the evening, Sashka wanted to explore another ruin in the depths of the island. The natives said that the elixir of youth was hidden there, but the path to it was guarded by fiery demons)

Недолго думая, Сашка отправился в развалины искать этот эликсир. А вдруг омолодится! Однако, когда до золотого кубка было рукой подать, прямо перед Сашкой из-под земли взвился столб огня. Пока ее муженек не поджарился, Катя забрала его обратно в отель. (Without thinking twice, Sashka went into the ruins to look for this elixir. What if he becomes rejuvenated! However, when the golden cup was just a stone's throw away, a column of fire rose from the ground right in front of Sashka. Before her hubby got fried, Katya took him back to the hotel)

Катя была уверена, что развлечения должны быть безопасными, вроде Лимбо или горячих углей. А как приятно в пасмурную погоду выпить обжигающий местный напиток. (Katya was sure that entertainment should be safe, like Limbo or hot coals. And how nice it is to drink a scalding local drink in cloudy weather)

Самый лучший отдых - лежать на пляже под лучами ласкового солнца и любоваться на безбрежную воду. Сашка с женой был не согласен, но благоразумно молчал, а то она припомнит, как он чуть не подкоптился, поверив в глупые байки. (The best vacation is to lie on the beach under the rays of the gentle sun and admire the boundless water. Sashka did not agree with his wife, but wisely remained silent, otherwise she would remember how he almost got fried by believing in stupid stories)

В последний вечер перед отъездом семья зашла на рынок рядом с плантацией. Туристам позволили самим собрать спелые фрукты, (On the last evening before leaving, the family went to the market near the plantation. Tourists were allowed to pick ripe fruit themselves,)

но стоило Кате отвернуться, как Сашка полез на пальму якобы за кокосами, а еще солидный пожилой человек, называется. (but as soon as Katya turned away, Sashka climbed onto the palm tree, supposedly for coconuts, although they say about him that he is a respectable old man)

Утром перед отъездом Катя вывела семью на пляж, чтобы последний раз принять солнечные ванны. (The morning before leaving, Katya took her family to the beach to sunbathe for the last time)

Вернувшись домой, Катя была полна энергии и вновь решила найти работу в криминале или спорте. Ее приняли в спорт на должность разносчика воды. (Returning home, Katya was full of energy and again decided to find a job in crime or sports. She was accepted into the sport as a water carrier)

Да они издеваются, - решила Катя и немедленно уволилась. (“They’re kidding me,” Katya decided and immediately quit)

Она рисованием зарабатывает намного больше, чем ей предлагают на работе, и не перед кем унижаться не приходится. Ну а Сашка наслаждался покоем и обществом верного пса. (She earns much more by drawing than she is offered at work, and she does not have to humiliate herself before anyone. Well, Sashka enjoyed the peace and company of his faithful dog)

Если пес, Лерой, слушался своих хозяев, то собачка, Сузи, решила, что она сама устанавливает правила в этом доме, а хозяева должны подтирать за ней лужи. (If the dog, Leroy, obeyed his owners, then the dog, Susie, decided that she herself sets the rules in this house, and the owners should wipe up the puddles after her)

BIO:

Once upon a time there lived a girl that dreamt of high castle walls and shimmering rubies, of colourful mosaics and sharp swords, but such images were restricted only to the dreamscapes and imaginations of the child, fated to fade in the dreamy golden hour of dawn’s first light, both a tragedy and reality as the threads that created those vivid tapestries slowly but surely unfurled to a deep longing within her heart. It wasn’t a displeasure to be born without such luxuries, her parents provided far more than most, and really, they too sometimes wished for riches so it never struck her as odd when such dreams recurred, happiness existed and that’s all that mattered… right?

Stories that began with once upon a time often promised happy endings. This is not that story. 

Let’s start again.

Once upon a life, in a memory of time, there lived a girl that knew something was different about her. Wrong or special would be debated in private even if the specifics evaded her but Niharika knew she walked a different path than her siblings. She teased much like they did, laughter rang the same notes if not a bit more melodic, she grew angry like them too, stomping feet like a child was wont to do, yet when her siblings did it skies did not gloom dark in the distance – could be a coincidence, she certainly wrote it of as such many times, but the comparison couldn’t help but be made. However, one of the many things that tormented her in the most annoying sense, Niharika could not, despite her best efforts, lie. But the girl had bigger things to worry about than getting her siblings into trouble. 

Trouble, instead, found her. 

It had been a normal day, she accompanied her mother and siblings to the local temple, and it all went well till a man dressed in priestly clothes questioned whether she would like a reading. Such a thing was not unusual, vedic astrology was an important facet of their belief and their mother agreed, considering this a blessing to be asked when the practice of a family to request such a thing. Something felt different about this to her, about him, but she paid her respects and stepped into a private room within the temple. Suspicions confirmed true when she called her Chandrika, but instead of confusing that ought to have been reflected, familiarity flashed across her face as something began to unlock within her mind; a memory tucked away in a forgotten pocket of time held a song, gentle waves, and a moon so bright she could feel its light illuminating everything in soft glow. He must’ve noticed her wide eyes but when he called her daughter, the spell broke with a tiny gasp as Niharika recoiled away. She couldn’t be blamed for the way hurt and disappointment moved across his face, she hardly paid any attention to anything as moonlight still danced in her vision. Something about past lives he had said about reincarnation and fate and told her to be cautious. She couldn’t believe any of it. The man, to avoid suspension for his intention was to only speak to her, had read her siblings charts too, imparting wisdom and advice to all of them. Thoughts weighed heavy on the girl's mind as they took their leave, half-listening to her siblings boast about being lucky in the near future or attain recognition in their adult life, and knowing she couldn’t speak fully without spilling her thoughts Niharika remained mostly silent, only saying she was told to be careful – which hadn’t been a complete lie, it was part of of what he had said. 

Time ticked by uneventfully yet quickly, uneasiness had waned since the meeting, things returned to normal except now she was too aware of how often she looked to the moon, and no matter how soft her voice had been, she found eyes on her while she sang. Her family thought it was talent shining through as they were drawn to her voice for the uncountable time, magical they called it but that only caused brows to crease and head to be cast down. She kept her mouth shut and drew no gazes, kept emotions in check and skies stayed normal, tried not to think of the stranger but she crossed paths with him again. On her birthday this time. He said he had a gift and revealed a dress of golden silk and embroidery so delicate it looked to be a near perfect replica of the one she used to dream about. Niharika hadn’t worn it, hardly touched it in case it would fade or she tainted it with the ever growing wrongness she felt, what if it was the same one? That thought made her shudder as she stowed it away, trying not to think of the man’s departing words – “Be careful of the water.” 

At a bazaar many moon cycles later did she bump into him, this time growing bolder with age she did not shy away, a lifetime of questions poured out of her at top speed. He did not chide her like adults did, did not scowl as she spoke out of turn, not even a word when she blamed him for countless sleepless nights caused by the warning he had given. Being the adamant little thing she was, Niharika brimmed with confidence as she teetered on the banks of Kaveri, eyes cast to the recent monsoon fed river, determined that there was nothing to worry here, how often had she ran alongside its current or swam in its waters? She had dragged him along to the riverside to prove it. Hopping closer, she all but dipped a leg in before she pulled it out in a panicked frenzy backing away from the waters edge as what she could only describe as the tail of fish grew out from her legs, her flesh being replaced scales as screams echoed with terror. And she swore when she looked at him with horror in her eyes, he simply smiled, like this was something to be expected, like this was normal. A variation of Matsyakanya he had said, citing their vedic lore. Heartbeat returned to a regular staccato rhythm, and for a moment she felt relief, peace, joy even as her tail splashed up some water – these she would come to know where the man’s emotions that gave her, except it felt like her own too.

Still coming to terms with this discovery, she did as told, what choice did she have? Days turned to years and this secret stayed within her, caged and confined like her wings that soon came about, entirely beautiful and mesmerising but she couldn’t share it, out of fear, out of promise, obligation, call it whatever, but she knew things would not be the same if she had. Water was avoided too once she found out what exactly she was. Yet, no amount of precautions would be enough to keep things as they had been, safety had never been granted for their kind she had been told and that slipped further and further from grasp.

The Raj’s guardsmen marching through the village had everyone on edge, their announcements of the King’s decree drew private scoffs yet none could oppose it. Her current family worried about what it would mean, and she had her own opinions on the matter but as she watched them tucked away from line of sight, she was pulled further into the crowd by an invisible force, though she had learnt to not react so openly, the act still jolted her. Invisibility. Another foreign concept. His frightened state was hard to miss, rushed explanations of hunters among the cavalry and fleeing were met again with wide eyes and racing thoughts. Things escalated quickly from then, raids and more soldiers, she didn’t want to run, didn’t want to leave her family behind but when questions that in a roundabout way pointed towards the unnatural state of being, luxury of choice was not afforded to them. It was in this slight hesitation, life flipped for Niharika, the hunted would always be pursued and on a moonless light she still vividly remembered, screams tore into the night as hunters stalked and killed her human family without remorse only later realising there wasn’t anything abnormal about them. She didn’t stick around till daybreak, she ran in the dead of night, teary eyed and angry causing the weather to shift and bend to her will. Her past-life father was ready, bags packed and he vanished as she escaped into the river before they could be found, letting the water take control and steer them to safety.

She grew quiet after that ordeal, blood clouding her vision as she cried, mourned for the loss of a loving family, what a sight she must’ve been too but he couldn’t do much about it other than hide them away, move them from place to place as battles broke out across the land; some pertaining to their kind, most not. Not many batted an eye at an ageing man and a silent girl. She had asked questions mainly as to why he had not kept on being ageless and the answer struck far too deep for something so simple – “I’m tired.”

He would not regenerate again and she accepted it, memories were precious things, they were all one had to keep them going. Before his permanent departure from this world, he had bestowed more knowledge on survival and their kin, answering every question he knew the answer to and finding out some he hadn’t known and giving names of woodland Fae and deep sea dwellers so she may discover more on her own. It was not custom for the daughter to perform last rites but she was family and she’d be damned if beliefs such as that prevented her from being there. It was attended by a few confidants he had made over time, some she had seen some not, all in all a quiet and private affair and none said a word of protest on the matter as she set the pyre alight, chanting mantras for a safe passage. 

Last of the condolences were received as the sun dipped beyond the horizon, a man in a dark suit approached her speaking of a place for their kind, a sanctuary he was setting out to build. With promises to think on it, Niharika put a pin on that thought and it forever fluttered in the back of her mind as she spent the next few decades learning about the world and all it had to offer. She had a proper name for her form too, Siren, the English word more widely used fit snugly. She lived many different lives, some she remembered, some she let the memory float away on the tides, learned to love and live and felt death deeply when those she grew attached were lost to time. Grew into a sharper, resolute person, called herself Nyra too, a new name for what felt like a new life. Because in a way it was, yet she couldn't give up on her roots completely, the picked was a variant name of the goddess she was named after. She met more of her kind too and did end up visiting Lunar Cove, a sanctuary for the supernatural kind, staying a few months on and off but she did not root herself to its soil just yet, there was more to see, more to figure out, and discover she did. Fragments of her family, of both human and the magical kind, her travels took her across the globe, even to Europe where eyes rolled at the so-called British Raj’s. What opulence did they hold to the Maharajas of ages past? Laughable and easily dismissed. In all her finds, however, the best had been stumbling upon Aiyla after a hunter attack. France was her break but with it being a tumultuous time for the Banshee, Nyra easily stepped into help. A deed being repaid forward from times when she was given help. She assisted Aiyla with her endeavours, be it information, questions, nudging her slightly onto a better path, even took her to see Evelyn who knew everything, knowing that she would find some of not all the answers the younger Fae sought. Nyra weaved in and out of Aiyla’s life for years to come, not entirely a solid presence but not completely absent either till eventually she heard her own siren call – Lunar Cove beckoned for permanency and she answered leaving Aiyla to carve her own path and way forward.

The dubious tagline of a sanctum aside, Nyra made a solid foundation for herself in this town, and felt a sense of calm that she hadn’t experienced in years. She stayed on as a member of the court, grew close to Hazal over the years offering her support in any way possible, even took to running the Emerald Hotel to help any wayward Fae that wandered through the mirage. And to finally see Aiyla make her way in was a relief beyond words. But of course, turbulent waters were never far behind. Momentary exhalation came crashing down bringing death and destruction, she tried not to let her heart grow cold as horror upon horror struck the town she called home, especially with Aiyla made Queen and she her advisor, it was not the time for callousness and spite to fester. There was a new purpose now, a chance to dig up hope and mitigate danger that only seemed to grow.

A Place to Lay our Heads, and a Long Journey Back to the Beginning

December 21, 2022

I am having trouble keeping track of the days. I keep thinking it’s Sunday today (and it’s Wednesday), I’m a bit astonished that we’ve been in India a week, and the fact that Christmas is four days away is mind-blowing. Anyone who knows me knows I love this holiday- and I’m getting a little misty thinking about not being with family this year. But this was a conscious choice (in order to meet with my students at Khalsa College and give them an “activity”—I’ve been advised NOT to call it an “assignment”--for over their winter break) and I will relish the chance to experience what Christmas is like in the Punjab. There are certainly signs of the holiday: our hotel is advertising that we can “satiate our Christmas cravings with luscious indulgences, handcrafted by our culinarians”—and for a mere 599 INR (about $7.00) we can have a “Jagermeister Bomb” (don’t know what that is—but yuck.) And there’s an old Anglican church near here from British times with a Christmas Eve service and Christmas day service- so we’ll attend one of those. There are artificial trees for sale in local stalls, along with Santa hats and some other silly stuff—and our hotel has some nice jazz versions of Christmas carols playing (the same playlist over and over…but at least it’s pleasant.) We’ll make our own unique Christmas tradition this year. But I’ll miss the Christmas House in Brookfield, MA where my sister-in-law Margo goes all out in their 18th century home.

The big news since last I wrote is that we found a place to live! David and I were all set to commit to an apartment that was darling—and very comfortable—but in a neighborhood I had some concerns about. In the meanwhile, I reached out to people I met when I was here in 2018—desperately seeking a recommendation for a real estate broker who might help us in our search. One of those people was an astonishing young woman named Aashna Sachdeva whom I had connected with in 2018.

Aashna and me in 2018

Aashna wrote to me Monday morning that her father, whose family had experienced Partition, was touched by the subject of my project, and wanted to help. Within an hour we were visiting a property he owns in a great part of town—and invited to make that our home for the next six months. The place is shared during the day by his partner and crew who are working on developing an app for film editing (it feels like we are in an episode of Silicon Valley minus the obnoxious characters)- but we have a spacious area upstairs. It was pretty sparse when we saw it, but Aashna’s mom Jasmina met me there the next day and made a list of things she could loan us for our stay: a couch, a table, a small frig, some rugs, etc. The generosity of this couple- who were complete strangers to us a week ago-is overwhelming. We move in on Friday- and we’re planning to treat ourselves to a little shopping spree at Home Centre and Fabindia (the temple of my familiar) to make the place feel homey.

This city is fascinating… and intense. Having an oasis of peace will be crucial.

Our new place:

Today, David and I headed to the old city with the plan of visiting the Golden Temple.

On our way

But when we got there, it was teeming with pilgrims, worshippers, and tourists—and we thought it wise to return early one morning or after dark—the times recommended by many. After stopping in at The Partition Museum (the place I visited in 2018 that prompted the whole idea for this Fulbright project),

Outside of the Partition Museum, housed in the old town hall

we made our way to the Jallianwala Bagh Memorial. If you don’t know or have forgotten: on April 13, 1919, a group of soldiers commanded by British Brigadier General R.E.H. Dyer entered an enclosed courtyard where a large group of peaceful protesters (men, women, and children) were gathered. He ordered the soldiers (sadly, all Indians serving in the British army) to fire into the crowd. No warning was made to disperse (such gatherings were forbidden)—they just fired –1650 rounds—and killed approximately 1500 men, women, and children. 120 of them jumped into the well in the courtyard to escape the bullets—and all drowned. I’m giving the barest of facts here. But see the scene the scene from “Gandhi” on YouTube below for a pretty accurate (and harrowing) seven-minute depiction (if, perhaps, a little kind to the panel that questioned Dyer later.) You'll see the Town Hall that now houses the Partition Museum in the clip. The space is now a memorial park to the victims and very well done, although the cheery music piped in makes for a bizarre counterpoint to the weight of what took place there.

Jallianwala Bagh

We were tired after that- and ready to head back to the hotel for a rest. That was not as simple as anticipated. We got ourselves lost in the warren of narrow streets that make up the old city- and my Fitbit knock-off alerted me that I had reached 10,000 steps long before we made it to a main road where we could call an Uber. And that was right back where we’d started. We had walked in a huge, confusing circle—past countless tiny shops, tea stalls and rickshaw drivers all offering to take us where we were going (but none knowing where our hotel was.) Although I had some nervousness that we might get robbed (pick pocketing and other theft are a big problem here)- we both sort of enjoyed the journey. The weather was cool and not unpleasant. There were lots of interesting things to see.

And we knew eventually we’d have to come to something familiar, which we did. It did feel incredibly good to finally climbed into an Uber and sit back as our driver made his way through unimaginable traffic to finally deposit us at our hotel (how does anyone drive in this city?) The Uber cost: 140 INR (about $1.75.) We tipped him more than the ride cost: that price might have been acceptable (for here) if it had been a clear shot—but that poor driver made no money on that ride.

Off to sleep- with the hopes that tonight I don’t wake up at my new time of 1 AM to lie and obsess for an hour before falling back to sleep.

Oh! My funny story of the day: mid-morning I went down to the lobby to ask about extending our stay by one night (the house isn’t quite ready for us.) There was a woman in the lobby impatiently asking for something from the staff. She had on her flannel plaid pajamas and slippers, was holding a cup of chai in each hand, and coughing non-stop. No mask. Not even an attempt to cover her mouth. She then went over to the elevator to head back to her room. I decided to take the stairs. This is a four-star hotel, folks.

And for a little laugh:

Until the next…

Day 10 : The Gulaal - Jaiselmer

18th March 2023

After a vegetarian meal under the stars we retired early to our room for a shower and a chill.

This hotel is fabulous however the view from an our window is of a building site  although looking out from it now, I can’t actually see anyone working the machinery that has been left there.  We’ve also had several power cuts, the most notable, was one that caused a total black out whilst I was showering. It was completely pitch black with not a glimmer of light, so I though it best just to keep warm under the hot water until the electricity was restored

Todays first stop was Gadiser Lake, a holy expanse of water that is kept topped up by a canal. Within this lake are catfish around 5 foot long and they have the circumference of a large bucket. Gangi, our guide said that people fished these near mythical monsters for food, however they didn’t taste at all good.

Behind the lake were the Ghats, which are the cremation pyres for Hindus and next to them the burial plots for the Muslim 

Our next stop was Jaisalmer Fort which also goes by the name Sonar Quila (Golden Fort) as it rises from the desert itself and seems to become one with the golden hues of the sand. The setting sun adds its own magic and shrouds the fort with mystique. The fort is constructed in the classic style of the royals by local craftsmen. This fort is a world heritage site and around 5000 people live within its walls, mostly from Brahim and Rajput descent.

Its narrow streets are cobbled, broken and steep and gutters run along along side. We left our transport at the bottom gate and began our long slow walk into the fort. I was careful not to slip on the worn stones, but a very old man was squatting on the ground with a chisel and hammer knocking tiny holes into the ground to make the surface a little rougher.

The traffic of men, women, children, dogs, scooters, motor bikes and cows came from every direction, we veered and swerved around each other in some sort of dance, there was me jumping out of the way at every horn blast, trying to avoid the dung that was so freely strewn across the ground, but the cows refused to move and stood their ground, their docile, unblinking , brown eyes staring resolutely ahead of them.

We went into a Jain Temple to admire the stonework on its wall and columns. 

Jainism is one of the world’s oldest religions, originating in India at least 2,500 years ago. The spiritual goal of Jainism is to become liberated from the endless cycle of rebirth and to achieve an all-knowing state called moksha. This can be attained by living a nonviolent life, with as little negative impact on any living thing. Some Jains even refuse to eat anything grown from under the ground, they cover their mouths to stop them inhaling insects and in some cases employ people to walk ahead of them, sweeping the ground and thus avoiding stepping on any forms of life.

By midday, the aroma of the fort grew heady with the smell of cooking food, petrol fumes, cow pats and urine or sewage of some sort. The intense heat didn’t help at all and I was ready to get back to the calm of the hotel.

A visit to the sand dunes was planned for this evening to see  the sunset, however this excursion included a camel ride. In all honesty my conscience wouldn’t let me go. I know how some animals are treated in this country with little concern for their welfare and well being, for the sake of 15 minutes of entertainment, the poor camel may have suffered a lifetime of pain.  So we declined and sat by the pool instead catching up on news and dozing, the cool desert wind like a warm blanket covering us.

So tomorrow we are on the move again.

NCIA Agent Trese fanfic part 6.

Note: Sorry for the long no posting but I suddenly had the urge to continue this story.😩 Also, thanks to the video game Just Cause 2 for giving me inspiration for this fictional nation.

Fictional Country Desc: Welcome to Biringan, Pulau! The country that is mistaken to be located in Samar! A Country run by both humans and Southeast Asian Supernaturals. Always mistaken to be a part of samar as a loophole mysteriously teleports planes and ships and cars to this island:s capital, Biringan, located near the Malaysian Peninsula. This portal seemingly closes and opens only a few times in a lifetime. This A place where Thai, Filipino, Malay, Indonesian, and Singaporean culture meet! Languages could differ from the Province, Prefecture, City, or even District/Borough you are in. Public transport could differ from Tuk Tuks/Bao Bao, Taxis, Tricycles, Jeepneys, Songthaew's, Buses, and Boats. Try to visit the "Palm Hotel and Casino" for the best 5 star service among Southeast Asian hotels. Go to the White sand beach of "Wisata Emas Resort" to enjoy a relaxing vacation, or try Skiing the "Taman Nasional Kuning Bulan" at the High Mountains of Mt. San Agustin. Or visit the churches of "New Mactan" and temples of the Vietnamese town of "Ðong Lat". Go shopping at the Biringan Night Market and buy authentic local Pulau products. And maybe as the Cherry On Top if you have children, Visit the "Taman Magik" Amusement park at the state of "Batbang" or the Taman Nasiunal Batbang and see the amazing wildlife! From ron Tarsier's, to Tamaraw's, Bats, Eagles, Elephants and more! But don't get fooled by the bright side of this nation. This nation is ruled under the dictatorship of Pado Magsakay, being a puppet of the S.P.L.G., and the strongest source of power of the terrorist faction, it makes them harder to take down.

We got a rental car and I drove next to them at a nearby Food Hall. They were eating the Pulau adaptation of Pad Thai Noodles.

"ha! I'll take the last serving!" Basilio says as he takes the serving fork.

"Hey!" Crispin Complains. I immediately stopped their fighting by taking the bowl of the remaining noodles and putting all of it in my plate.

"Let your cousin eat! Will ya two?" I said right before taking a spoonful of noodles.

"you're not our cousin biologically! Fuck off!" Basilio angrily retorted.

"well just let me eat, I spent most of the time getting a good rental car!" I said pointing at the slightly rusty "1990 Hiace" parked behind us next to the food hall.

"you mean this junk?!" Both of them complained.

"stop it!" Alexandra joined the conversation to stop the argument.

"Any vehicle manufactured before 2011 had no computerized systems. Meaning? They can't be tracked via GPS!"

I explained.

After we ate, we got into the rental van and I turned the key. The van comes to life and so does the radio.

"Hanya ini yang kubernikan

Sebua lagu ciptaan!"

I started to sing in Indonesian as I drive down the City. Everyone except for my sister looked at me as they never knew I spoke Indonesian.

We arrived at the rental house and started to get to work. Turns out, an important member of the faction was going to meet with the president of Pulau at the "Palm" Hotel and Casino.

Later that night we went to the casino to identify who was the VIP. My sister started to work on the cameras and Identification. While me and Alex dance with different people to try and make it seem natural. Crispin and Basilio stayed in the van to be part of backup. The party was formal yet it was so Hip! The dancing accompanied by the banduria's playing "Cariñosa" and the people wearing different Southeast Asian formal outfits.

I slowly made my way around and soon spotted her with the help of my sister on the computer.

"That's her, the one wearing a Malaysian outfit."

I looked at her before calling Maliksi.

"get her limo, knock out the driver and take his place as the chauffeur!"

Maliksi simply kicked the driver so strong he fell into the water across the railings. He took the limo and after the party ended, the lady got into the car.

"Take me back to the mansion! Now!"

The lady demanded in Malay.

"Drive as fast and horrible as possible!"

I told him on the phone.

He immediately floored it and the limo darted away towards downtown along the highway. Maliksi locks the limo doors.

"Hey slow down! What's the rush?! Wait, youre not my driver!"

"Do I really need to go fast?"

"Well we don't want to give this girl an opportunity to jump out safely!"

I replied.

The woman says frightened of what is happening.

The limo stops at a hut by the sea.

Maliksi takes the rich woman and made her sit in a chair.
