Chapter 2: Aera(2)
I haven't seen my son since he followed his grandfather for his first day of training. It's sad that I can't see him all the time,my own son.
Well I'm used to it.
Ever since I gave birth to Daehyun, my dad just makes sure my adeul(son) spends more time with him than his vulnerable, pathetic and an excuse for a human, his mother.
Usually when Daehyun is with his halabeoji( grandfather) I lay back and rest and daydream about the life I never got to have. The life were my son and my love lay on beaches in Ghana, laughing at each other's jokes. Hugging each other and having fun. The life I never got to have, but this time around I decided to find ways and means to earn enough money within two days so I can escape to Korea with Daehyun. South Korea was an ideal choice because that's where I found my one true love. South Korea gave me the happiness I've always wanted.
One will think I'm the daughter of a mafia so I should have enough money but I don't. My dad hates me that much.
My dad despises me so much that he doesn't give me money or allow me to even work to earn money. He thinks I'm a worthless item. Who does that to their own birth child.
By eight in the evening, Daehyun returns from training. Tears in his eyes.
He tells me how terrified he was when he held a gun and was asked to kill a kitten. He told me how my dad shouted on him so much when he missed the target and made him try several times till he shot the kitten. This is not the life I want for my son. I don't want him holding guns. Now he's killing kittens,very soon he'll be murdering innocent people. I want a normal life for my son. I want him to be happy. I don't want the blood of innocent people on his hands. I don't him to be involved in the world of mafia's. This will not happen.
By the time Daehyun falls asleep I have already formulated a plan. A plan to get us out of this hell called a home as soon as possible
My dad usually has his business meetings in the evening after which he tells his men what to do.
I tiptoed down the large hallways that leads to my dad's office. My heart hammering in my chest.
The office door was opened a little and I hid behind it so I can listen to their conversation without being caught.
" I just finished talking to our American foes. They have arrived in Japan and they will be expecting us at night tomorrow.
Their boss, Mr. Tate brought the money for the drugs and guns. Now, here's what I want you to do. When you get there; play along, take the money and hand him the items.
After the exchange, Hakyeon you shoot the boss himself.
You wouldn't be present there so they won't notice who killed their boss. You'll be the sniper for the day.
Now the rest of you, whiles his men are trying to figure out what's going on you kill all of them. That way we get the money and still keep our items. Ihae doeseyo !! (Do you understand!!)."
They all respond quickly not wanting to annoy my dad with any questions.
"You can go now. I have to see my Sonja (grandson) ", my dad said.
I hid in the room nearby when my dad's men started to file out of the room. Being scared was an understatement
I creaked open the door a little to see my dad heading towards Daehyun's bedroom.
I slip out of the room and head for my own bedroom before he gets suspicious.
With all the information I got, I can get enough money to relocate to Korea with my son. We are going to be free! We are going to have normal lives. I might find my love again.
I sneaked into my room and packed the guns I stole from my dad some years back into a bag.
I packed some of my clothes and that of Daehyun's into a small bag. I sneaked out of the house and kept the bags by the large dustbin at the end of the street.
I then walked over to Mr. Kim's shop on the street behind.
"Hello Mr. Kim", I said when I entered the shop.
Mr Kim had been a friend of my mum when she was alive.
"Hello Aera. Why are you wondering about by this time of the night. Is anything the problem? You seem very tired. Are you okay?" he said with worry on his face.
"Oh no Mr. Kim. I'm Aera Nakimoto, I never come across problems." I joke with a slight chuckle. He laughs along.
"You look so much like your mum, you know?"
I smile at him, having heard him say it so many times.
"I actually need a favor from you". I say
Mr. Kim looked at me with an eyebrow raised a smile at the corners of his mouth and said "what is it my ddal(my daughter)".
"I need Daehyun to stay with you the whole of tomorrow. That is if you are okay with it", I said in a humble tone. The thing is, there is no other place to keep Daehyun. All the other neighbours were scared of my dad and anyone that surrounded him that means including me,so Mr. Kim was my last and only hope.
"Oh no problem Aera, Daehyun is always welcome here. I heard he'll be turning fifteen soon".
"Yes, my baby is growing up pretty fast. Thanks for everything Mr. Kim. I really appreciate you for letting him stay here. I don't know what I would have done without you.
Its getting dark, I must take my leave".
Mr. Kim said his goodbyes and I quickly rush home to take my rest.
I have a mission to accomplish tomorrow..
