Replacement Lantern

Chapter 06. Replacement Lantern

"Aaaaaaaa.. tooooongnggg! I want to be kidnapped, toloooonngggg!"

Just getting out of the car, the lanterns came back screaming. Kenzo stared at him. It was not easy to bring the girl into a conscious state. It felt like Kenzo beat his head unconscious, or closed his breathing path until unconscious. It might even be better that he had done it since.

"Shut up or I'll rip your mouth off!" Kenzo Ancam.

Initially, the lantern was about to shout again. But at once he shut his mouth tightly, after hearing the threat. Until Kenzo again stepped foot into a large house, even four times larger than the Lantern house in the village. Ah no, maybe the house is much bigger than he thought.

"Om Om, don't kidnap me doonnnggggg!" Lanterns humming. He still does not understand the situation. Either have to feel happy because of being kidnapped by two handsome Om, or even have to feel afraid because his life could be in danger.

"Don't call me Om! Since when did I get married to your aunt!" kenzo Reprimand. The girl's voice was indeed beautiful, but the lyrics were very unpleasant to hear. But it can not be denied, actually Kenzo felt calm when he heard the voice. The girl's presence made her feel like she was with Vanessa.

"Sound! Called Om kok do not want, but Om Om certainly a lot of money," muttered Lantern.

"I can hear it, you fool!" kenzo Sahut. Pulling the lantern back to the main door of his house.

"Keep called what? Uncle?" ask the lanterns carefully.

"Do you think I'm your father's sister?"

"Not! Not as good as my dad." The lanterns were still trying to endure the pain in his legs, as Kenzo was still pulling his right hand while walking fast. His stomach also began to feel sore, probably because of the spicy pee that he had eaten before.

"Oh yeah? Are you sure your mother won't cheat on your father after meeting me?" challenge Kenzo. Just this time there was a girl who honestly said that she was not handsome. He wondered how handsome the girl's father was.

"Related! My mother was a loyal woman!" answer the lanterns. "If not, how could he have chosen to go with my father!"

"Then meet me with your mother, after that we will prove how loyal your mother is!" kenzo. Still don't understand what the lantern means. Stupidly, he still responded to everything Lantern said.

"Can't!" lirih Lantern. The girl stopped her steps. Tired, long enough he walked to make his legs feel twitching.

"meaning?"

"I can't!"

"Can't why?"

"Because my mom and dad are dead!"

Deg

Everyone was speechless, staring at the Lantern with faces depicting shock. It was easy for the girl to say the death sentence. With a face without the slightest burden of sadness. Now the lanterns even show a smile in front of Kenzo.

"Omm? Why silence?" The lanterns were confused, everyone was silent looking at him.

"What's the entrance?" The lantern pointed at the entrance, then walked back. "We're going in, aren't we? Then come on!" his yell.

"It could be that he could still smile like that!" Kenzo was still amazed by the attitude of the lanterns that seemed not to feel sad. In fact, the girl had already lost two of the most meaningful people in her life.

Arriving in the middle room, Kenzo approached the Lantern that was circulating the view. "You said your mom and dad are dead?"

“Iya,” Lantern nodded quickly.

"Why do you look okay?" Kenzo is feeling. The girl's face showed no sadness at all. Unlike Kenzo when he lost Vincie and Mama Shena first.

Hearing the question, the lantern laughed. "Om how, anyway? The dead were my mom and dad, not me!" said it.

"sad? What kind of question is that?" The lantern chuckled, "Indeed who is not sad when left by someone he loves for a long time?"

“Then why are you laughing?” ask Kenzo wonder.

"I've made peace with the situation. I used to be the one who got hurt the most after hearing the news of their deaths." The lantern was silent for a moment, suddenly the look in his eyes showed sadness. "Until I realize, grieving will not be possible to bring them back to life. It's sad, but life will go on, no matter how much I suffer at the time. Oh shit, cruel indeed!" said swear.

"I therefore seek to continue my life without them, pursue my ideals until I get here, and meet you."

The lantern turned its head with a smile, then looked inside Kenzo's eyes. Silence is created for a few seconds. Jeff and the bodyguards who were there even fell silent, carried away. The views of the two are still mutually greeting each other, making the lantern heart start beating irregularly.

A few seconds later, Kenzo looked away. He realized looking into the girl's eyes would only make her hypnotized. The look in his eyes was completely similar to Vanessa and Vincie. Kenzo almost forgot that the girl was the cause of Vanessa's coma.

A large photograph was displayed on the wall, distracting the lantern. The girl slowly approached, she felt like she had seen that face before. Ah right, after researching, that face was very similar to his.

"He's Vanessa!" kenzo said, answering the girl's curiosity.

"Vanessa?" The lantern still could not believe it, the photo was completely similar to him. "Is that why, this morning you all thought I was Vanessa?"

Kenzo nodded. After seeing the girl standing next to a photo of Vanessa two years ago, he could say confidently that the two did indeed bear a resemblance of nearly 99 percent.

"Then what do you mean you brought me here?"

The lanterns didn't want to be too confusing about this. He felt he had to live the destiny that must be passed, which is to follow the two foreign men. Since the departure of his parents, Lanterns have indeed put themselves in destiny. But after looking at the photo, the lantern so wonder. What kind of fate would he face?

"Because you have to see all this!"

At first Kenzo was eager to teach the girl a lesson. But he abandoned the intention. Kenzo couldn't torture an eye so similar to Vanessa's. Kenzo could not hurt everything that was on the girl, because of her resemblance to the lover.

"That's enough! My name is Lantern! If you came just to liken me to Vanessa, then I'd better go. Because I'm, Lantern, not Vanessa!"

Realizing all this had to do with Vanessa, Lantern got very upset. All the people he met every day thought he was Vanessa. How not to get upset? The lantern felt that it would not be considered anyone if its face did not resemble Vanessa, someone she had never met before.

"Wait on! Let me explain it to you!"

Seeing the lanterns about to leave, Kenzo's reflexes walked in pursuit. I don't know why he would feel unwilling if Lanterns left him. His chest felt tight when he heard the lanterns were about to leave. What kind of feeling is this? Kenzo quickly gave chase, and grabbed the lantern's left hand. But it just makes Lantern suddenly moan in pain.

"Awh sssshhhhh sick!"

The lantern was holding his left shoulder which felt like breaking, the pain was incredible. His knee suddenly wavered, feeling squeezed making the lantern fall in an instant. The pain was unbearable, until the view of the lantern began to blur, until finally unconscious in Kenzo's lap.

"Hey, wake! Open your eyes!" Kenzo patted Lantern on the cheek, a sudden sense of worry seeping into him. "Wake up!"

Kenzo shifted his attention, staring at the shoulder that had been making Lanterns grimace in pain. Without a second thought, he was about to open the Lantern school uniform. But considering that there are still many people in the middle room, Kenzo immediately looked at all his men with a sharp gaze. In an instant, everyone stood their backs to Kenzo and the Lantern.

"Puffed?"

Can be seen, the left shoulder of the lantern slightly swells. But that's not the center of Kenzo's attention now. Near the shoulder was a scar that appeared to be quite deep. Kenzo recalls Vincie, when he was a kid, Vincie was injured in the same place as the girl. Could he really be Vincie?

"JEFF, GET THE CAR READY! WE'RE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!"
