14 2. Cindy? (2/2)

[Hana Lu. DOB: March 4th, 19##. A straight A student. A daughter of Leroy Lu and Sally Kim. Sally Kim died right after giving birth to Hana. Leroy is the chairman of the Lu Enterprise, but he is now the most wanted criminal due to a murdered that he had committed.] Rui was shocked. He puts the documents down. He noticed a letter that has his name on it. [This is father's handwriting.]

Rui opens the letter and began to read it.

Letter:

Rui,

If you ever come across these documents of Hana and this letter, then something did happen to your mother and I. I'm sorry that I kept this secret from you. Leroy, her father, is a good friend of mine. I've known him ever since our college days. It's where he introduce Sally, Hana's mother, to me. They're both great people. After he lose Sally, Leroy made a promise to Sally that he will raise and take care of Hana. Leroy didn't know they send people to monitor his movements. The other day, he called me and beg me to locate his daughter. I didn't know Hana was his daughter.

Once I told him about Hana living with us. He feels relief. He said they are on to him and Hana. He didn't say much because he's afraid that they will get her and harm her. They set him up to a murder that he didn't do. He's on the run. Rui. Both your mother and I know that you hate her, but, Rui, you met her once or twice when you were 4. Don't you remember? You bullied a little girl. That little girl is Hana. You got mad because she's being nice to other boys. Jealously, isn't it?It's okay you don't recall, it's because your head was badly injured from that incident. You and her were playing, a group of men came and kidnapped her. You tried to save her from them, but they harm you from beating you from a baseball bat. You lost your consciousness. Hana was saved. She stays next to you until you awoken up. Once you're awoken up, you don't even remember a girl who you said that you're going to marry to. Now you had grown and matured, Rui, as your father, please protect her. This time you can protect her. Those kidnappers are working with them. Them are Skylar Inc. people. I don't know why they want Hana for, but its probably to use her to lure her father in. Rui, please protect her. Be her aide. That's our last request from you.

Your father, Leo

Rui leans against the chair. He sighs. He noticed a picture was facing down. He picks it up and his eyes widen. It's a picture of him with a little girl. It hits him. He drops the picture on the desk and his head began to throb. He groans in pain. Soon he recalls the moment he first met Leroy and Hana to bullying Hana to the kidnapped incident. [Hana.]

[Month Later]

Hana is finally awake from her long slumber. She noticed the ceiling. [Hospital again...why am I here?] She slowly sat up and sees Sora on the couch, sleeping. It hit her. [That's right the crash. Where's Ai and Leo? Are they okay?] Hana gets out of the bed but her legs were still weak. She fell on the ground. ”Damn it.”

A nurse came in and noticed Hana on the ground. ”Are you alright?” The nurse puts down the food tray on the table and helps Hana to sit back on the bed. ”Excuse me.” ”Yes?” ”Where's Ai and Leo?” ”Who?” ”There were two people with me during the crash.” The nurse's face darkens. ”I am sorry for your loss.” [My loss..? Don't tell me they're...] ”They had passed away.” Hana's heart drops. ”They...didn't make it?” ”I'm sorry.” Hana lowers her gaze in disbelief. [No, that can't be. They can't be dead.]

Rui arrives the hospital and as he reach the doorway, he sees her. ”Impossible. No. They can't be dead. It's not true, right?” Sora wakes up and gets off the sofa. ”Big Sis.” ”Sora. Where's your grandparents?” Sora looks down on the floor. ”Gone. Heaven.” Her shoulders slumped. [No. No.] Hana gets up and removes the IV on her hand and walked out. ”Ms Hana! You're still recovering.” Hana ignores the nurse and sees Rui in front of her. She, too, ignores his presence. Hana reached to the front desk. ”Where are they?” ”Excuse me?” Hana was about to reply but Rui interferes. ”Please don't mind her.” He grabs her hand, but she shakes his hand off of her.

”Don't touch me.” She glares at him. [You've changed, Hana.] He sighs and lifts her up and carried her. ”Hey! Put me down this instant. Rui! You sickly bastard. Put me down now.” Rui ignores her and takes her back to her room. He toss her on the bed. ”Oof.” She tries to escaped but he leans closer to her and blocks her way of escaping. ”You!” ”If you ever step out and causing trouble, I swear I'm going to **** you.”

She felt disgusted by his remarks. She turns her head and arms crossed. ”Hmph.” He smiles as looking at her reaction. [No. You didn't change. You're still the same.] Sora was sitting on the sofa and noticed his father smiling at Hana. [What's with his scary smile?] Sora gasped. [Is he going to eat Big Sis? Oh no, no, no. Not gonna happen. Not on my watch.] Sora paused and looks down at his wrists. [Wait. I don't have a watch.]

[A few days later]

Hana returns to Rui's place. Hana tries to find way to go outside to do some research of the car accident, but Rui was against it. Hana sighs and returns to her room. She toss her pillow at the wall. ”Damn Rui!” She sat down with her arms crossed. [What am I going to do now?]

Next day, she lied to Rui about taking Sora to his doctor appointment. Rui lets her go. Hana took and drop Sora off to the daycare and she went to the black market. Before she head theere, she went and bought an oversized black jacket in order to cover her face.Once she arrives to the black market, she sees a lot of muscular men in the black market. She sits on the stool by the bartender. She observes from there.

After an hour, she stands up and head to the exit but she accidentally bump into someone. ”Sorry.” She was about to leave but the men blocks her way to the exit. ”Hey! You think saying is good enough?” Hana sighs. [Looking for trouble, eh?] She turns to the person who she had bumped into. ”Isn't it good enough?” The person in front of her was a woman. The woman scoffs. ”Just who do you think you are?” ”Me? I'm just a nobody. Just passing by here. What about you?” ”You don't know who I am?” ”I don't and I don't want to know.”

Hana turned her back on the woman. The woman then grabs Hana's shoulder and was about to punch Hana but she stops. Her eyes widened. ”..Hana?” Hana looks at the woman, she, too was shocked to see the person in front of her. ”...Cindy?”
