It has rain for several days, few other small cities has flooded, the thunderstorm is not looking like it will be over anytime soon. This is the worst rainy season ever recorded in this country, it effects every small cities, farmers has not been able to harvest the crops, its all washed by the flood.
James Wayne stood near the window over looking the field, he had spent all of the family savings to purchase a tractor, and heavy machinery for harvest season this year, unfortunately the heavy rains and thunderstorm was not something that anyone ever expected.
He turned to look at this small 2bedroom and 1 bath ranch house he built for his family, he left his family to be with the woman he loves, he left it all for the sake of love, however he knows now that it seems love doesnt seem to be helping him, his wife is pregnant and will be due anytime soon, and his 3 years old daughter needs stability more, he knows what to do. He took his raincoat and left the house to the nearest store with payphone, he dialed a familiar number that seems to be strange.
"Hello...." an old man voice is heard at the end of the line.
"Dad...." James wayne uttered.
The old man from the other end, curled his lips, an evil smiled appeared.
"Are you ready to come back?" He held his excitement with a cold voice and ruthless tone.
"Yes i do...i have a conditions" james gripped the phone tightly and shaken.
"Go on...." the old man motion his finger to the subordinate near him, gesturing them to get a paper and pen.
"I need my wife, and children to received compensations, so they can live comfortably for the rest of their life"
"Thats all? Easy...i will send someone for you." The old man hang up and evil smiled appeared again on his lips 'James my son, now you know love cant feed your family' he instructed several of his men to pick up James.
"Yes Master Wayne, we will bring Young Master home safely" the man in black suit bow in respect. He also added..."would you like us to prepare the compensation for his family"
"No..kill them....including the children........." hatred glimmer in his eyes, he is cruel, and has no mercy for anyone that comes in between him and his son, he knows as long the wife and children alive, James will leave him. Master Eric Wayne got up and left the office.
In the small ranch house, ziana slept soundly while hugging her small daughter Zalya, she woke up and kissed her forehead. She felt thirsty and strode to the kitchen to grab a glass of water, Zalya was woken up from a clatter sound in the kitchen, her little feet lead to the small cozy kitchen with her favourite Mr. Momo her teddy bear in her arms.
"Mommy...i cant sleep" her childish voice followed with her rubbing her eye.
"Aww my love" Ziana bent down to kiss Zalya's forehead and a water gushed out in between her legs. Oh! The baby is coming.
"James......." but no reply coming.
"Mommy..whats wrong..." the innocent child ask her mom.
" your brother is coming..." she let out a small smile while holding the pain.
She got up and lean on the wall and suddenly several men broke into the house. It was too fast that Ziana is not able to react.
"RUNNNNN ZALYA!!!!!! RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!" as loud as she can, zalya run and saw her mom laid on the ground motionless, blood was all over and men were surrounding her mother, and she heard a faint newborn cried. She looked bad and saw her mother mouth 'run', and her eyes closed.
AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! Zalya woke up from her dream! That is no dream, that us a memory that she works hard to surpress, hard to forget. 'Mom.....' she closed her eyes and about to lay down again when a bucket of cold water splased on her.
"SHITTTTTTTTTTT" she screams!
"Hahahahah...Zalya happy birthday!!!" Nina let out a loud laugh, followed by Julie and Amy. They throw a rotten eggs on her and covered her in flour, this is a small traditions they invented among each other since their first year in college.
"I will kill all of you now" zalya screams and chased all of them, they had too much fun and lay on the floor side by side together. All four stares at the ceiling and begin to talk about what they are going to do after college graduation, this is their final year. Amy decided she might go back and help her parents company, and Julie will continue to be a teacher, and Nina will continue her MBA, and Zalya will start her internship as forensic Examiner. No one knows why a girl like Zalya wants to be Forensic Examiner, she can easily be a model and live a lavish life with her beautiful appearance. Only Zalya knows the reason, she wanted to investigate about her parents and her newborn brother that died 21years ago.
Each of these friend has a different majors yet manage to become best friend and live together in their small apartment near university. While the rest 3 of them doesnt require any financial assistance, Zalya has to work to support herself, living in a foster system for so many years, she was lucky to be adopted by a couple that is about to retire, she was their adopted daughter after she turned 16. Both her adopted parents are a driver and housekeeper for the Reed family, a filthy rich family that even 100 generations wont starve to death. Mr and Mrs kaplan are nothing but the most loving adopted parents, Zalya insist on working to support herself, she wants them to live comfortably after retirement and she doesnt want to be a burden, the warm bed and warm food given to her was a bless for her. She was found at 3years old at the door step of the church, the pastor has sent her to the orphanage and she has lived there until she was adopted.
Zalya got up and kicked her 3 friends that still laying on the floor.
"I am gonna shower and ready to go the Reed Mansion for work." She pouted. The salary there for part time helper like her was lucrative, she cant say no.
"Okaay, see you on monday" julie said, they know Zalya stayed from friday morning to monday morning at the Reed family coz she is a personal nanny for the Reed Family grand daughter. A little spoil brat, she is sweet to Zalya but was a little brat to every nanny she had.
After shower Zalya wore her nanny scrub uniform and her small weekender bag, she use her glasses and put on her tennis shoes, locked the door and start her a vespa. She took out her phone dial Andy number
"Andyy....are you at the shelter?" She asked him as soon as she hears him saying hello.
"Yes i just arrived" he answered her while holding a clipboard checking on today schedule for volunteer in duty.
" well can you put me on volunteer list for Wednesday night?, i am on my way to work now"
"Yeah of course!" Andy likes Zalya, she is kind and beautiful not to mention smart. She always offered to be a volunteer in any kind of charity.
"Sweeeet!!!!!...i love you andy!!!!!!!" She scream in joy....
"You love me?" Andy was shy..
"You know what i mean dumb...." Zalya laughed, followed by andy smirked at the end of the line. No one will ever know this cheeky girl has a thunderstorm brewing inside her for justice, revenge and redemption.
