Ariche Point of View

They say life is short so we should live to the fullest.

I don't agree. That is ridiculous.

What I believe is no matter if the life is short or as long as Mr. Beggar, you cannot actually live to the fullest.

You think you can but the bottom line is no matter how much you try, you cannot. You have several issues bothering you every day and it takes more than one life to solve some of them. With those constant and consistent issues poking your butt, how the hell can you live to the fullest?

Looking at druggy Ball right this moment, I completely agree my theory about the so-called life.

"You have to be the bad guy, exploit humanity, perform crimes like you are performing an opera and now you even kidnapped us; With so much bothering you every day I'm pretty sure you couldn't live all these years happily." I shrugged my shoulders as much as I can with my hands tied behind me.

Beside me is in another chair is Mr. Beggar who is as calm and composed as I am as if he is not tied up.

Looking at him so casually, my heart and stomach was filled with floods of pride flowing everywhere.

He is calm because he trusts me that I will save him somehow. He is indeed perfect to be an assistant.

I saw empty Ball snicker at me. He is an empty Ball because he only gives empty words. "But there is one think you can be happy about." I said as I wiggled my eyebrows at him.

"Oh? That is?" He asked as the smile of extreme amusement brightly blinking on my face.

I almost got blind seeing his smile. Eww!

"You will definitely go to hell."

"Let's see where you go when I kill you right here." He grinded his teeth as he gestured his henchman to bring a chair for him.

"I want to go to hell to, to be frank. But I have done too many good things that even if I spend eighty more years doing nothing but sin, the goodness in me overpowers the sin. People like you are very lucky." If it isn't for my super hearing, I would've missed the slight sound of Mr. Beggar's snort.

"This is ridiculous. Are you complimenting me or insulting me?" Empty Ball asked and by the look of his face I can say his query was genuine. "Never mind! Tell me girl, do you really have the so-called proofs that prove me and others of my mates guilty?" I nodded positively.

He is an Empty Ball not me.

"Prove it you have them and not bluffing me." Huh! He wants me to show him the records so he can steal them?

I am an angel of kindness, not a demon of foolishness.

"Give him the records you have and we can leave here safely." Mr. Beggar leaned into me and whispered in my ear.

"He will not leave us even after we give him the records, Mr. Beggar. Don't you watch movies?"

Movies are good guides to situations like this. I usually relate every of my situation to a show that I like 'Dora the explorer' and eventually find answers.

It's a great show.

"Alright, as you wish. You have been dealing with drugs from nine years already and your first case of illegal transaction was made to nightclubs. You were ordered by you superior who is none other than the very founder and chairman of one of the top pharmaceutical companies, LDC."

"Ho- how – how do you –" Empty Ball stuttered.

He proves himself over and over again that he is indeed empty.

"Really?" This time it is Mr. Beggar who asked me in stun. When I nodded my head in confirmation, he asked, "How do you know all this?"

"I spent twenty days in collecting this information. When I take up a project, I will not do it halfheartedly."If diligence can be humanized, then it will be me.

"Twenty days? Only twenty days?" I nodded to Empty Ball proudly as I gave him time to get amazed by me.

After few minutes of contemplating and processing everything in his empty brain, Empty Ball looked into my eyes seriously and raised his eyebrow.

He looks more like a standup comedian than a serious looking villain.

"That was one-time thing. We never left any traces of our business so I don't believe you have any more of those records."

Is he foolish or is foolish him in personal?

"Okay I can tell you who is the main person who is above you all. The one person who is leading you into ashtray."

"Who?" Empty Ball and Mr. Beggar asked in unison but Ball sounded anxious while Mr. Beggar sounded excited.

"I only said I know. I did not say I will tell you the name." I shrugged. "Alright now, untie us." Empty Ball looked at me furiously and slammed his hand on his own thigh.

Ouch! It must be very painful.

He suddenly stood up and went to Mr. Beggar and all of a sudden, he smiled at me as if he is born out of UV rays from the sun.

"Aren't you close to this Beggar? I will kill him if you don't give me those records." He said pulling out a gun and pointed it towards Mr. Beggar.

I saw Mr. Beggar has his eyes closed. I looked between both the men and decided what to do next.

"Do as you wish." Suddenly Mr. Beggar's eyes flew open and Empty Ball's eyes quivered in antsy.

"She is right, it is better you kill me. I can't with that girl anymore." Mr. Beggar begged Empty Ball.

"I was informed there was a beggar who is in love with her. Aren't you that person?" Empty thing asked Mr. Beggar.

Now this got my attention.

"You love me, Mr. Beggar? Like romantic type of love? Like love type of love?" All the while I wanted to make his life better and take him into my family, he was actually in love with me?

"No I am no-"

"But then why didn't you want to get adopted as my husband?"

"I am not –"

"Were you anxious? Embarrassed? But why so?" I gave him a deaf ear and mulled over the reasons for him to reject my offer.

"No, I don't love you. Goddammit." He bellowed loudly.

"Are you having fun both of you?" Empty ball asked softly with a grin. "Are you sure you remember the fact that you are held hostage by me and your lives are at my mercy?"

To satisfy him, I just nodded mindlessly and turned to Mr. Beggar to talk.

"Answer me. You want to keep his life or the proofs?" Ball oh Ball!

"Alright, I'm keeping both. Happy? Now fig off." I gestured him with my freely moving head and turned to Mr. Beggar. I'm pissed off by this overall empty person.

"I don't think his information is wrong. Tell me Mr. Beggar, you love me? Don't be shy, I will accept you and love you no matter what."

"What kind of situation is this? Are you planning your engagement date with a gun at your blank point?"

"Shut up for a minute. We are discussing something important." I grumbled and turned to Mr. Beggar with a smile.

"I don't love – " Before Mr. Beggar could tell me whom he don't love exactly, me or my Nanna, Empty Ball interrupted again.

"F**k tell me who gave the proofs against me first." Goodness! He is pissing me off.

"Okay fine. I got them from your own lovely wife. Satisfied?"

"No, this can't be. She cannot do that. You're lying. She loves me so much." He shook his head in shock and disbelief as he chanted 'no' repeatedly to himself.

"Yes, she said the same too. That's why she gave them to me." I replied him. "Now Mr. Beggar, were you worried about being homeless to express you heart to me? If so, you don't have to mind it so much, I find rich men boring. I always wanted a common man and you are commoner than a common man."

"F**k the mission –" Mr. Beggar mumbled to himself loudly and looked at me passionately. "I am not a beggar."

"You are lying. Why would she betray the person she loves so much?" Can't he just let me and Mr. Beggar have a peaceful conversation for a minute?

"Back to you Mr. Beggar, you mean you want to be adopted by me and that is why you are not a beggar?" I asked and waited eagerly hear his answer.

Mr. Beggar hung his head back and groaned loudly. "I am not a beggar to begin with I am a –"

"Why? Why would she do that? What did you do to her to get what you wanted?" Empty Ball interrupted again.

This man has no respect for romance.

"Seriously Empty Ball? Okay fine, even she didn't know she gave me those proofs against you. I took them from her when I was giving her a counseling session on loving two men at a same time." She said she loves two men at a same time so I had to give a counseling session to her.

It was a very long story though!

"So, Mr. Beggar, you were saying you were not a Beggar by birth?" I asked curiously.

"No, I am not a beggar at all. F**k I'm an – "

"Who is the other man she loves?" Hearing Empty Ball interrupting him again he mumbled 'f**k this' to himself loudly and broke the rope that bounded his hands very easily as if it is nothing great and punched Empty Ball in the face.

The gun tumbled down from Ball's hand and with two more punches on his face from Mr. Beggar, he is out of light.

"Now you see that I'm not just a mere Beggar? I am an –"

"Te- te- tell me who was the other man?"
