Ranums

SERUM

Ranum took a glass of milk and a P3K box and a mirror, then walked towards the backyard. Ranum sewed wounds on his face, occasionally smoking his cigarette. Chen came to Ranum in the backyard.

“Where did you go last night?” Chen sat next to Ranum.

“Fighter Club. That's kind of.” Ranum put out his cigarette.

“Why do you always go home full of wounds?” Chen asked back.

“I told you, never ask anything about my activities.” Ranum answered flatly, his hands nimblely sewing wounds – tear wounds on his face.

Chen nodded. “I remember. But I'm curious, you can't keep something from your sister.” Chen smiled broadly at Ranum's back.

Ranum's hand stopped hearing Chen's words. “Adik?” Ranum asked, confused.

Chen nodded. “You yourself said that when you were in the bathroom.” Chen smiled widely again.

Ranum looked at Chen. “That's so you don't force me anymore.” Ranum back facing the mirror, sew the wound – wound.

Chen laughing. “Your face is very funny. That much bump makes you look like a birthday clown.” Chen laughed amusedly.

Ranum indifferently, he remained focused on sewing his wounds – wounds. Satisfied Chen laughed into the house, took the ice cubes, put all the ice in a plastic bag. Chen went back to the backyard. “Facing here. I'll compress the lump on your face.” Chen speaking.

“There are still some wounds that I have to sew. Wait a minute.” Answer Ranum flat.

Five minutes later Ranum picked up the bag of ice in Chen's hand, compressing his face with a lump.

“Why is your nature so annoying?” Chen asked Ranum.

Ranum shrugged his shoulders. “It's natural that sister and sister can't get along right?”

“Then don't consider me your sister so you don't suck!” Chen exclaimed loudly, folding his hands on his chest.

Ranum nodded. “I'll think of you as my grandson.” Ranum smiled.

Chen hit Ranum's back. “Sucks!” Chen went inside the house with a sullen face.

Ranum chuckled, burning his cigarette again.

Ten minutes later Chen returned to the backyard with an extra sandwich of Ranum's favorite cheese and tomatoes. Chen thrust out a plate containing the sandwich. “I'm sorry.” Chen speaking.

Ranum looked up, confused. “For what?” Ranum asked.

“Because it sucks.” Chen sat down with Ranum.

Ranum received the plate, put the plate on his lap. “So you said I was the one who sucks.” Ranum chuckled, eating the sandwich. “You forgot to put the sauce chili.” Ranum.

“Oh yes, I forgot.” Chen stood up wanting to get the chili sauce for Ranum, but his movements stopped, Ranum held his hand. “No need. Sit.” Ranum smiled. Chen sat back down.

“I'm sorry for often forcing you to make love to me.” Chen looked at Ranum.

Ranum. “I know. That's very human. I also often want to be in touch. I'm also human.” Ranum smiled.

“Then why do you always reject my invitation?” Chen asked.

Ranum sighed. “First, I was right – to think of you like my own sister. Second, I don't like having sex without love. I think just having sex and making love are two different things. And I only do it to build love, not just to fulfill my passion.”

“Why aren't you looking for a replacement for your wife?” Chen asked back.

Ranum smiled. “Somehow, I just don't want to get into someone's life, if I haven't been able to escape my past. I don't know what I think is right or wrong. At least what I'm thinking right now is a good choice in my opinion.” Ranum ate his sandwich again.

“Then what if the woman near you loves you?”

Ranum. “Cannot be. Falling in love is hard, as difficult as keeping love itself.”

“What if I love you?” Chen asked back.

Ranum chokes, immediately takes a glass of milk, drinks it.

Chen laughing. “I'm just kidding. Even if I'm not kidding, I'll keep telling you.” Chen smiled looking at Ranum.

Ranum nodded. “I'll go out for a while.” Ranum got up from his chair, his hands nimbly cleaning his mouth using a napkin.

Arrived – arrived Ranum's phone rang, Ranum immediately answered the call.

“Good afternoon Young Master Ranum, there are tasks you have to complete.” Alexa's voice is heard from the end of the phone.

“Iya, forgive me Young Master, but Big Boss wants you to complete this task.”

“Good. What's my job?”

“Sample serum at Antipodes island.”

“Antipodes Island?”

“Iya, one of the small islands located in New Zealand. Your target mount Galloway Young Master.” Alexa explained.

“The Loshad family opened a new land there?” Ranum asked confused.

“No Young Master.”

“Means more precisely I went there to steal a sample of serum?” Ranum began to understand his task.

“Iya right Young Master.”

“It should be Dayana's job, why should I do it?”

“Young Miss Dayana is still busy with her research in China and according to Big Boss, this task is more suitable for you, in addition to your closest position from Antipodes Island.”

“Oke – okay I'll do it.”

“Muhammad and other members are already at the horse race.” Alexa.

“If when I get there there there's still a crew to help me. I will not do this task.” Ranum turned off his phone. “I think I'll be gone a few days. Not just a minute.” Ranum spoke to Chen.

Chen nodded, smiling. “Day – hearts.”

Ranum nodded, stepping out of his house.

In less than 25 minutes, Ranum had already arrived at the horse race. Muhammad and Gabriel were waiting at the door of the plane, welcoming Ranum. “All crews have been left at your command Young Master, you will only be accompanied by the flight crew.” Gabriel smiled.

Ranum nodded, stepping up onto the plane. Pilatus PC-24 starts taking off from horse racing. “Moon please provide details of my current duties.” Ranum rules his artificial intelligence.

A blue ray emerges from the table in front of Ranum, displaying all the details of his mission as well as a map of the island of Antipodes, then zooms in on the Galloway mountain area. “Your task this time is to take samples of regeneration serum and serum to regulate the limbic system in the brain.”

“Serum like that is true – is true?” Ranum asked in surprise.

“There is a Young Master, the Jin family has developed this discovery since three years ago and they almost succeeded in perfecting the serum – the serum.”

“So from now on we are looking for trouble with Jin family eh.” Ranum smiled. “Indeed, there are no true friends in this world.”

“At the foot of Mount Galloway there is a door to enter into a laboratory located in the mountain, the door is the only – access to enter the lab.” Moon returned with information.

Ranum nodded. “More interesting.” Ranum smiled. “How about the lab's defense and security system?” Ranum asked.

“I can't access into the lab Young Master. I can only reach beyond the mountain. The main door of the lab is only guarded by two people and in some parts of the mountain is made a hole to put some automatic weapons equipped with motion sensors. So if you hit the sensor, the weapon will automatically shower you with bullets.” Moon explained.

Ranum nodded. “Then what about that limbic system regulating serum. Actually it's not a dangerous serum is it?” Ranum asked.

“Indeed not too dangerous for ordinary humans Young Master. But it can become very dangerous if the serum is already in the hands of the Nogilevich family. The Jin family developed the serum for a special agent that the Nogilevich family was working on. In return the Jin family will get a special agent from the Nogilevich family for just – Just.”

Ranum nodded – nods, starting to understand what Moon explained.

Return to Aston Martin Vulcan Ranum. Present-day.

“So Chen Xiuhuan..” Alexa says.

Ranum nodded.

“Why didn't you ever tell me?” Alexa asked.

“You never ask.” Ranum answered flatly.

“My Mistakes.” Alexa smiled, her heart and mind calm after knowing the truth about Ranum and Chen's relationship.

“Why are you smiling?” Ranum asked, looking at the look on Alexa's happy face.

“Not what.” Alexa looked back at Ranum smiling.
