Fan Series #2; Unpredicted Dreams

2; Near Me

ZHIXIN

"What do you mean, no, she isn't a traitor, Junhao. She will never be, don't say that in front of our son!" I yelled at him after he said that my wife had betrayed us.

"But he needs to know, he is now in an exact age to understand the situation..." He spoke, trying to convince me, "I want him to know that his mother is a traitor, and she killed many innocent people..."

"That isn't true..." my son suddenly said. "Mommy won't betray us..."

All of us was shocked when Zhubao slammed the door and entered the room, she suddenly slammed a bunch of papers in front me, "Kingina kung ayaw nyo maniwala, iyan!"

I gave her a confusing stare because I didn't understand anything she said, I just shrugged and opened the folder, and was full of CCTV footage, some pictures that was taken that day, full footage of Zihan, and the others, betraying us, killing innocent peoples. 

I suddenly feel weak, I cannot bare staring more of it, then I uttered, "N-No..."

"Thats twue, uncle. I saw it with my own eyes, she awso demanded her peopwe to shoot my awntie..." Yong suddenly showed up with a bowl of popcorn on his hand, he was not saying the words right, but I could understand that he is really saying the truth.

"What do you mean, what happened the time we left China?" Hang asked, his voice broke, "Where is my wife, where are the others?"

"As I said, the rest didn't make it, Mei, Jia and Gongzhu, didn't." Zhubao said, looking at Hang with apologetic eyes but I would sense that she was hiding something, "I am so sorry I couldn't save her, I am really sorry..."

"N-No, that's not true..." Jiaxin fell on his knees and was like losing his control, "No, I-I am still planning to continue the wedding this week..."

Yuhan just stared at him and spoke, "You aren't the only one whom hurt, Jiaxin. After seeing her being kidnapped gave me pain, but after knowing that she is really part of them made me hate her..."

"Jia?" Hang spoke, "W-Why are you here? I thought you we're—"

"Do you think I will die just like that?" she chuckled as we noticed the bandage on her head right to her eye. "That body you buried was fake..."

"How can you do this to us?!" Yuhan attempted to hurt her but Zhubao blocked and hugged him so that she can push him away. "Zhubao, let go of me. She needs to have her lesson—"

"Oh, really huh?" Jia spinned the gun on her fingers and smirked. "Yuhan, I loved you, but it ends in there..."

"My love turned to hatred," Yuhan's words was too painful to make Jia feel a guilt but she hid it.

"Dang it, I am not Jia, the fuck you guys are really a fool, I am Liwen," she laughed wickedly, "Bet you forgot, do not worry, Lian and Gongzhu are still alive, but still on Xiaoxi's hands."

"Liwen, wheres Zihan?" I asked her.

"Why the fuck are you asking me about a lost person, I fucking don't know where she'd gone, all I care about was what Zhubao's family did to us, I have nothing to do with you, your son and even your fucking wife." Her smirk says a lot of things, but I cannot understand it.

She walked away, while Zhubao is hugging the broke Yuhan on the floor. 

What is really happening?

HANG

I am currently drunk, but I don't care as much as I drink. I want to forget everything, I wanted to make myself believe that all of these we're just my worst nightmare. But no matter how much I punch myself, I won't wake up, I just cannot believe that I lost my wife after everything and I was not able to even save her from them.

Maybe this is really life, life is a bitch.

I really don't know how she can leave our son, me. She died in just a glimpse, in just a blink of an eye. My brain cannot process everything, it's really not that clear. I just left for two days, and I catch up on her, not exactly her smile. Her good mornings, or even welcome back home, opening the gate and jumping at me for a tight hug.

I saw her, in just a picture, they said she died, but they cannot just tell me where she was buried, or where the fuck her grave is. I really don't get them, I am Dao and I trust Zhubao so much.

How can she hide my wife from me?

I do have all the rights to know where her last destination was, but how come they cannot say a word the time I asked them? 

Liwen said whe was alive, but Zhubao cannot show any proof whether she really is or not.

There is something wrong.

There is definitely something wrong with it.

I cannot even talk to my son in a righteous way, I don't get them, I tried to talk to him, but I looked like a crazy guy, talking to the air. But when it was Yong, talking to him.

His smile was priceless, I don't even know them anymore. I shouldn't have left, if I know this would happen to me, to us.

They are so selfish.

"Dao, we need to go home. I will bring you home..." Zhubao's voice was echoing on my head. She was calling me multiple times, but I don't have the guts to respond.

But my mouth opens to say something, "Zhubao, why?"

"Why what, you're just drunk, Zuo Hang. You don't know what you are saying..." she spoke and rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I am drunk, but I know to control myself, I am not dumb as fuck. I am just drunk, I am totally drunk, but still can't forget about her" I said and put the glass down. "Zhubao, just tell me where she is, please?"

She took a glass and poured some, she sat beside me, at the bar island, she smirked and stared at me intently, "She died, that's what everyone knows. But Hang, she was missing, exactly the day her death was announced."

"What do you mean she was missing?" my curiosity really can't stay quiet, I want to know everything as soon as possible, I don't want to just stay quiet. "Was it like Zhixin and Xi, am I going to hate her too?"

"Maybe you should if that's what you feel, everyone knows she was dead, Hang, but I know she's not. I can feel her presence right now, don't you?", she asked as I began to feel something.

I know that was her, the girl hiding behind the tall lamppost. 

I cannot be mistaken.

She is totally just here, near me...

"Then why did you accept the fact that they announced her death even if she is totally alive?" I asked that made her smirk at me, I sighed after I found the meaning of those, "Why do you want her to act like she really died that day, what are you up to?"

"Hang, this is the only way for us to find out the truth, this is the only way I know..."
