BLOOM [BrightWin]

The Past

Knocking down everything that blocks his way, Win grabs his motorbike keys and dashes out of the house to his family.

"Win! Win! Where are you going?" Tap manages to stop Win at the door before he rides on his Black Kawasaki Ninja.

"Han got them Tap, I need to go."

"H-Han?" Tap stutters as he heard the name after years of sudden disappearance.

The war has just started isn't it? What are you going to do, Win?

Metawin was trained by his step-father to not fear anything that awaits ahead of him. Fear is an illness, a weakness.

His mother had remarried when he was 4 years old. Win's biological father died before he was born, so his mother became an early breadwinner. She overworks herself every single day to make sure there is food on the table for her son. It was tough, it was hell, for a single mother with no support.

However, everything's change when a man, a mob leader, takes an interest in her. They would meet each other weekly as his mom works as a waitress at the club- well, the mobster's club.

"Lia, please don't leave, I really love you." The mobster leader begged Win's mother from breaking up with him.

"I-I love you too Toy, but this is wrong" His mother was afraid, afraid that she made a mistake.

"If this is wrong, I have no regrets. Loving you Lia, is the best thing for a monster like me."

Toy confessed. Being the most respected yet feared Mafia leader, the one who has been killing in his whole life, felt so alive as he was able to receive love from the purest soul.

Lia had teary eyes by now, a mix of emotions jumbled inside her mind.

"I promise to protect and to love you and Win for my whole life. I'm willing to risk anything for both of you because you guys are my everything."

"So please, don't go. Don't leave me, I can't live without you and Win, Lia."

That night marks another history in Win's life as his mother accepted Toy as her lawful husband. Their poor life had completely turned around. Win even went to school and his mom stopped working.

But one thing that Lia hadn't thought was Metawin is going to be the next heir of Don Mafia.

"He's my son too, Lia. Who else is gonna be my heir if not him?" Toy sighs, he and Lia had been fighting over this matter lately.

"He's only 11 Toy! And you're already teaching him to use a gun?!" Lia screamed at him.

"Because he can! He got the potential, the talent. And I am not going to waste it!"

"You are turning my son into a murderer now?!"

Lia gasped in shock, too surprised by her own words.

"Well, you're married to one" Toy replied to her quietly. He felt a pang inside his chest.

Tok! Tok! Tok! 17 years old Metawin knocked on his father's office.

"Father?" He called out as soon as he creaked the door opened. He roamed his eyes around the room and saw his calm but blank father at the table.

"Oh you're here, come in son." Toy commands.

Win took his seat opposite his father and was welcomed with unexpected news.

"I want you to take over my position Metawin."
