B.L.O.O.D (BlackRose)
Twenty Eight
London, United Kingdom.
James was driving a Silver Cadillac, Angel was sitting in the back seat next to Smith. To be honest, Angel did not like being close to Smith, but what a force, James was reluctant to sit next to him. Along the way Angel observes the surroundings, London is indeed full of history, many medieval buildings lined up on the left and right sides of the street. On the left is a variety of restaurants with old buildings typical of the Victorian era. On the right is no less beautiful, there is a building with colorful flowers in each window. Angel noticed every passerby there, many foreign tourists taking pictures in several corners of the city. There is also a red London bus that passes by, bringing not only locals but also tourists from all over the country. The car continued to run until it arrived at a roundabout, when the traffic light showed a red color which means stop. Angel looked towards Trafalgar Square, a very crowded place. Some tourist groups began taking pictures, there was also a group of teenagers who play guitar while singing ria, he said, not far away another group of teenagers play hip-hop music while doing strange movements that look more like people who are electrocuted. Angel also saw several couples who walked together, or just sitting while chatting. As the green light slowly turned James to the right, Angel realized from a distance that there was a statue of a man dressed as Napoleon riding a horse right in the middle of the square.
“ What do you see so your body has to turn?. “ Smith resuscitated Angel's daydream, she felt embarrassed and awkward.
“ This is my first time riding in a car with translucent glass at such a low speed, it turns out that the scenery outside is quite impressive. I had noticed the statue in the middle of the square, it looked mighty. “ Said Angel in a flat tone. He lied, not impressive enough but amazing.
“ It was a statue built in memory of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, a battle at sea in which British Navy warships won the Napoleonic Wars. And the statue is of Admiral Horatio Nelson, a hero and leader of the British Navy who was killed in the Battle of Trafalgar. The monument is often called Nelson’s Column.” Smith dictated concisely and in detail, yet easily understood, making Angel a little amazed.
The atmosphere became quiet, until the car stopped suddenly. Upon entering Waterloo, it turned out that a long traffic jam was inevitable. Angel who daydreamed a little pushed forward, making him shocked and began to look ahead.
“ What's up James?. “ Smith asked in an annoyed tone.
“ A Moment. “ James opened the windshield and looked out, he asked the car with the open glass passing from the opposite direction, which was also stuck in traffic. “ What's up, man?. “
“ Ordinary, accident happens in front. A black Cadillac car went off course and collided with each other. “ The driver gives information briefly.
‘Cadillac black. ‘
Angel's head hurt, something came back to think about it. But he tried to remain calm, and showed no reaction. Lucky their car made it through the traffic jam, and this time James stepped on the gas deeper. Make the car run faster.
“ Have you been able to remember something Aqila dear?. “ Smith asked in a seducing tone.
“ I think almost, unfortunately the old memory in my head is still not working properly. “ and Again, Angel lied. Luckily he was always able to cover up his feelings, it turns out that his years of training as a killer almost made his feelings freeze.
The car had gone quite far, as the car turned into the Avenue street the surrounding scenery began to change from various buildings and multi-storey buildings into shady trees. Angel gave a glance, the memory of his trip with Arnold began to pass. Angel wanted to erase it but failed, so she let all those memories accompany her journey. Three hours into their journey they finally arrived in south Yorkshire, James parked the car to the side of the road.
“ We have arrived, you can come down. “ Said James.
Smith and Angel went down first, followed by James slamming the door hard. James walked into a house without a turnstile with a car parked in the yard.
“Mother.., I'm home. “
A woman opened the door, in her twenties, one hundred and seventy centimeters tall with blonde hair, pale skin and hazel-colored eyes. “ Yes..., who are you looking for?. “
“ Rachel, let James in. “ typical Smith logat turned out to still be remembered well by Rachel.
“ Oh's... Sir, please come in. “
James comes in first, accompanied by Smith and Angel. A woman screamed from inside the room.
“ Rachel, is she James?. Please send him to the room. “
They entered the room at the left door. It appears that a woman in her sixty years is knitting while accompanied by music by the Beatles.
“ Mom..., “ James immediately hugged his mother. “ Are you okay?. “
“ Of course, lucky your lover took good care of me. You should have said goodbye before you left for duty. “ Ms. Taylor rubbed James' head, James was a little surprised. However he did not want his mother to know the truth, so he just nodded slowly.
Angel was sad to see the old woman in front of him, he approached. Angel's face looks beautiful in the light coming through the window. As if understanding the contents of Angel's mind, the woman asked them to be left alone.
“ Are you right. James, Rachel's. Can you leave us, and invite your friends and friends out. I just want to talk to this girl. “
Everyone came out, James closed the door tightly. When everyone came out, Angel began to shed tears, for the first time. He was crying in front of others.
“ Aqila, it must be you. Your eyes, only you have those beautiful eyes. Comehere. “ Angel approaching. “ Sit down, take the seat that is over there. “ Ms said. Taylor pointed at a chair near the dresser.
Angel, I don't know where to start. His memory is still blurred, but deep sadness sees the sad condition of the woman beside him. Which is nothing but the result of his past mistakes.
“ Come here, hug your mother. “
“ Mom...., “ Angel's voice sounds like the moans of a little boy, who misses his mother.
“ I'm sorry, have made your situation what it is now. You can punish me. “
Ms. Taylor patted Angel's shoulder gently. “ No son, don't be like this. This is not your wish, God who has given me this disease because of my own fault. “
“ A.. I just wanted to offer you some tea. “
“ Where are James and Smith?. “
“They are in the back garden. “ Angel observes the girl in front of him, he feels something is not right. A calm face, yet the eyes were full of fear.
“ Give it to me, and make sure you're not at the door. “ Angel pulls out a small gun from behind her boots. “ or you get shot dead. “
Rachel leaves in fear, before entering Angel unknowingly observes the ceiling of the house. A black round object is displayed in the right corner, which is nothing but a surveillance camera.
‘ Weird instead of the camera it is dead, why it is still on let installed.’ BatinAngel's.
“Or don't-don't... “
Angel took the tray in, placed it on a small table beside the bed. Ms. Taylor told me a lot about Rachel, about her cooking and housekeeping skills. Also because the girl is so pretty. Angel listened to everything while thinking, she felt suspicious of Rachel.
“ Mommy, why did you install a dead surveillance camera.? “
“ Oh, not me. Rachel asked the handyman to install the camera in the living room and in the yard, also in this room. “
Angel glanced up, it was true that there was a surveillance camera in the left corner, but the condition was dead.
“ You know son, it turns out Rachel was fooled. All the cameras were broken, we already had no money to ask the handyman to take them off. So we let it go, until James gets home. “ Connect Ms. Taylor.
Angel frowned, she looked towards Ms.'s ear. Taylor. It turns out that they were wearing almost similar earrings, Angel removed the earrings. At a glance the red light shone twice, he also asked Ms. Taylor to take off her earrings.
“ Mom.., we exchange earrings. But don't tell anyone including Rachel, oh yeah does mommy have stationery?. “
“ In the bottom drawer, there is a small notepad and a pen. “ Ms. Taylor pointed to the drawer under the table.
Angel took a note and started writing a few words, after which she tore off the part she had already written.
“ This earring was given by my friend Selena, maybe she'll come over here and ask for that earring. When he comes here give me this letter, don't let anyone read it including my own mother. And I'm gonna keep mom's earrings in memory, so I can get back here. “ Angel gives the folded paper into four parts, Ms. Taylor accepted it with a confused feeling.
“ Child, what does that mean?. I don't get it. “
“ Mom, I hurt you once. And no one can hurt you anymore, I just want mom safe. Please promise me and swear about it. “
Ms. Taylor was a devout believer in religion, so he knew very well that if he had promised and swore in the name of the creator. He must not violate it. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
“ mother, are you guys done. ?“
“ Oh's.. James, Enter. We're done. “
James entered accompanied by Smith.
“ Good, Aqila we better hurry. There's still a place you should go. “ Smith's tone of voice sounds like a command, make Ms. Taylor didn't like the man's temper.
“ Mom, I'm saying goodbye. “ Angel is back talking in a flat tone.
“ Mother, I will go home if my work is done. Take good care of yourself. “ James pecked Ms. Taylor.
When James came out of the room he met Rachel.
“ Thank you for taking care of my mother. “ James kissed the back of Rachel's hand, making Rachel blush in embarrassment.
The three of them were already in the car, and James was back driving.
“ How did Aqila?, did your memory start to recover?. “ Ask Smith.
“ Almost. “
“ We go home first to Apartment, After that. I'll show you something that can quickly pull your memory. “
“ I can't wait for that. “
