The Rhyme of the Depositary

TWO NINE

Anson just left her date on a blind night. He no longer feels interested in relationships with women. Everything seems the same.

Anson smiled bitterly. All this because Alice. ten days have passed since the meeting with the woman but still Alice managed to take her focus. His figure continued to dance around in his memory, disturbing all the concentration he had.

Oh God. Anson never thought he'd be this good because of a girl. I don't know what spell that woman had said.

The sound of a cell phone call resuscitated Anson. William.

"What's William?" it was a little awkward for the old man to contact her late at night like this.

"Mr ... Kendrick has successfully hired a reliable lawyer and bribed a number of public officials to raise an appeal about Axel's custody hearing. I just got this information from someone I put on them. Axel's custody hearing will be held four days from now."

Anson clenched his fingers holding in anger. That fast they acted?

"Villiam ... "

"Yes, Mr ... "

"Take Axel to a very secret place. Even if they get custody of Anson, I'll make it hard for them to find him. The more hidden, the better."

"Good, Sir."

Anson growled furiously. Axel is his son, no one has the right to take him. Is Alice stupid enough to keep playing with her? The woman needs to look at herself more seriously.

...

Kendrick has been trying to help Alice take Axel's custody through legal avenues. He was in a strong feud with Anson legally. But these two are like balanced opponents. They are both strong and hard to beat.

A year or so the trial went ahead without making a definitive decision. Every time Kendrick came close to winning the case, Anson defended it in a powerful way and made the trial material repeat itself from the start. And vice versa.

One afternoon, Kendrick sat down with Alice enjoying the twilight view from the upstairs balcony. He held several files containing the latest court developments from his lawyer regarding Axel's custody.

Alice observed the man who was seriously studying the contents of the attachment file. Every now and then, the man seemed to be tapping his finger on the table. Kendrick's focus deserves a thumbs up.

"Alice ... ," he called later.

Alice nodded in response to the call from him.

"It seems like this trial will produce nothing ..., "he said shaking his head.

"Is there any other way?" Alice was a little depressed.

For a year and a half he couldn't see his son. He didn't even know the face of the child had progressed to what extent. What the baby can do. Could he have walked? Running away? Speak up? Is he able to call her?

Painful questions one by one emerged from Alice. His longing has brought an unstoppable pinak. Every time she walked past a toddler poster, she imagined her son's face. Oh my God .. All that hurt for a long time.

"It looks like I could use illegal means." Kendrick gives advice, as if asking for approval from the woman.

"Illegal?'' Alice repeated.

"Anson's a pretty strong guy. It's hard to beat him directly. Perhaps a fairly effective way is to defeat it secretly. We can infiltrate someone and give him a mission to take your son."

Smuggling people? Alice shook her head in despair.

"Do you think I've never tried, Ken. His life never came back."

Was it as difficult as this to maintain his determination of taking his own flesh blood?

"Mungin the person you're using isn't a strong enough person." Kendric waved his hand as if underestimating.

"No. He's pretty strong. It's just that Anson's stronger."

Alice recalled Daniel's friend who had been killed on the same mission some time ago. At that time Daniel said the theme was strong enough to be able to carry out the mission. He still ended tragically.

"I'll take it myself, Alice."

Alice surprised. Kendrick's going down straight away? has he?

"You-"

"I've got a little clue where Anson is hiding Axel. Possibility between England or Indonesia. He has great connections in both countries. If my people have any information for sure, I'll handle it straight away. One of my greatest skills is sneaking, you know?" Kendrick smiled proudly.

Alice approached as if she could hardly believe it.

"You sure?" tanyakanya.

Alice looked at the face of the man who had accompanied her days of over a year. He is quite understanding and patient in almost everything. Alice was always touched by Kendrick's actions.

"Why are you willing to go this far for me, Ken?"

Kendrick smiled at Alice. His eyes offer warmth. She grabbed Alice's fingers, squeezing them slowly. Over the last three months, Kendrick's condition has improved. He can make physical contact with Alice. The condition is growing, so they almost believe it is possible that the gynophobia Kendrick suffered has been successfully cured. They haven't tried it to the extent that Kendrick can touch Alice, but Alice believes the man is capable of having it. It's just that Kendrick chose to hold back for certain reasons.

"If Axel succeeds in getting us, are you willing to live with me somewhere and form a real family?" Kendrick offered something that could make Alice's heart rustle.

"I told you I'd leave the dark world, Alice. Let's settle down somewhere Anson can't reach, form a new life, and try to make this marriage work." Kendrick kissed Alice's back.

"navy ... "

Alice blinked a few times. Kendrick is a very nice guy. Can he reject her sincere hope?

"After I've brought Axel in, I'll make our marriage Alice perfect. I will claim you to be mine. You have made me able to feel back the emotions I once had ... "

Kendrick rubbed Alice's head full of emotion. He kissed her softly and whispered many wonderful promises to her woman.

"You know, I'm a very understanding man

I'll wait for you to be ready to perfect our marriage" Kendrick said, making Alice blush.

...

Day after day passed with various events that passed. Alice took Kendrick off one summer morning to do what she had promised. He said the man had managed to get Axel's hideout. Unexpectedly, Anson actually hid it in this city. Somewhere they had never even thought of before.

Who would have thought Anson chose the same city to hide his son. Of all the places Alice imagined, New York was the last city in her dafar.

Four days after Kendrick's departure, Alice makes a lunch appointment with Rachel and Daniel somewhere. Since Daniel got out of prison, the three of them's relationship has been tightening. They seemed to start connecting with an invisible red thread.

Alice awaits the arrival of two friends by playing a slow rock song through the ear phone. His mood is improving at the moment. His business grew smoother, and his dream of meeting his son grew closer. Miracles have really happened in his life.

"Wait long?" Rachel greeted Alice in a slightly loud voice. Every time she uses an ear phone, Alice's auditory sense response seems to not work with the outside world. He was trapped in his own dimension.

"Even longer. Where's Daniel?" Alice took off the ear phone and concentrated on welcoming Rachel.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Rachel smiled enigmaticly.

"What's wrong? You're hiding something from me?" Rachel was really upsetting.

"You know? a week ago he met a woman, the daughter of a business colleague. And guess where he is now? They were out together somewhere. Looks like this time the woman managed to get Daniel to his knees." Rachel sparkled with the latest developments Daniel. Alice smiled happily, and was relieved when the good man finally found his heart.

"Goodoo. I am grateful that he found a good woman. She deserves it" I'm Alice.

"You're right. At least, he managed to move on from you. Before I was worried that she wouldn't stop loving you" Rachel chuckled. He remembered how Daniel had been infatuated for too long with the theme.

"Everyone needs time to heal the heartache, Rachel," Alice said wisely. He called a waiter and ordered some menus as the main course.

"How did you progress to take Axel?" Rachel opened the topic that for one and a half years had become a scourge for their lives.

"Kendrick's trying to take it. Pray that he succeeds this time. I don't know what to do anymore." Alice fiddled with the table decoration in front of her with a slightly frenzied feeling.

"I hope it works this time, Alice. " Rachel sympathizes.

They were silent for quite a while, immersed in each other's thoughts. Then Rachel asked a question.

"If this doesn't work, can you just let go? At the very least, accept the situation and try to rebuild your life. Can't you have another child?"

Release and accept the situation? Had it been that easy, Alice would have been tempted to give up long ago. Yet every time he wanted to stop, the shadow of his young son haunted his conscience. She couldn't stop chasing her own baby. It never will.

"I can't, Rachel," Alice answered softly. He nodded thinking about the possibility.

"What if it still doesn't work? Are you going to spend your whole life just doing this futile search? Will you waste all the opportunity you have just to pursue an uncertainty?" Rachel looked at Alice, looking for honesty there.

"Come on Rachel,"

Will his life be this dark? what kind of future awaits him? the loss he had experienced had long since thrown his emotions into chaos.

A call from Kendrick managed to restore their consciousness. Alice immediately responded to the call, taking her mind off the previous conversation.

"I've managed to bring Axel. Go home now."
