Five
Constantly checking my phone for any new updates is what I am doing while sipping on my pineapple juice right after finishing a cheap burger, I don't know how you call it but I may seem annoying if Sheryl and Yu knows what I am doing, they'll think that I am excited and so obsessed to know his name but I think I really am but the truth is I just really want this thing done so I can go back to visit my parents in jail. Right now, I still don't have the name of the person, Mr. Minami is such a forgetful person, I wonder where the information got away. I was always impatient and I never liked waiting and so I got pissed off and exited the fast food chain along with my luggage and my handbag, the cellphone was still on my hand, until I get the name then that's the time I would place it on my bag.
I felt the breeze of the air, it was only October but Ireland is like a refrigerator because of how low the temperature was, maybe wearing nothing but a shirt is never enough when it's always freezing here, everyone I saw had their coats worn and sweaters and here I am standing like fall has just arrived. I decided on finding a bench to sit on so I can open my luggage and take out a hoodie or a jumper, I can't stand the coldness anymore. I walk while pulling the luggage behind me to find a bench but every single bench that has scattered along the sidewalks were full or either a little bit dirty so I continued to walk until I find a decent bench to sit on.
Ireland is fascinating, everyone is loud and cheery and I really feel so home even though I live in England, I just saw the bond of every Irish person there is, it's almost like everyone knows each other, a lot of people were playing instruments along the way and the others dance along, some were chatting and laughing and others are just with their friends. It was nice seeing a lot of people having a good time, I smiled to myself and continued to walk but the phone that is on my hands finally rang and I saw the caller I.D which is Mr. Minami, I quickly picked it up.
"Moshi moshi" I greeted and realised that I just spoke a Japanese word, guess I really had taken a bit of the Asian culture.
"Victoria, I finally had the name, let me just send it to you"
"Can you just say the name please and send it right after?" I requested, I was a bit excited to know the name, they say Irish names are beautiful so I'm already wondering what his name is.
"No, I'll just send it to you, now where is it?"
"Just say the name and send it afterwards, please!" I pleaded and then some people were turning their heads to look at me.
"Sheryl, help me find it, I think I lost it again" I almost ripped my hair off my head, karma really is a bitch, guess this is what he gets for making an alliance of assassins, I hope he ends up with alzheimer's one day.
I waited patiently for anyone to speak on the other line but all I hear is rambling sounds of files and papers and drawers getting opened and closed once in awhile. I sighed and shook my head from side to side, getting this mission accomplished is really blurry for me to see in the future.
I took a turn from my walking and noticed that I was already walking on a dark alleyway, my brows furrowed and I stopped on my tracks, I was just about to find a bench to sit on and now I'm like in a different world because of how dark the place is. I turned around to walk to the opposite direction but when I saw the path where I supposedly came from, the lights were dim and there were no people at all.
"Hello?" I said on the other line with a whisper tone, I was scared and I think I'm lost. I looked around me and there was literally no one around but closed shops and stores it was like a perfect place of shooting a horror film. I heard an unclear reply and I took the phone away from my ear to check the signal and it says on the phone that there is no signal, I began to sweat and my heart was beating fast as if it's about to go out of my ribcage. "Hello?!" I shouted on the other line but I heard nothing but unclear noises, I continued to shout a hello.
"Hello? Mr. Minami, help me" I was at the verge of crying, I was really scared and the call ended and I took it away from my ear to see that there really is no signal. I felt a presence of someone behind me that's getting closer and closer and as I turn around I saw two men with their heads covered and wearing all black running but it was too late for me to get away until one of them snatched my luggage. "Hey! Give that back!" I yelled but I wasn't running to get him and I soon felt the other one touch my handbag but I was able to prevent him from taking it away from me.
"This is mine!" I was fighting back and pulling with every strength that I have but he took out something from behind and pointed a gun at me and I immediately let go of the bag and accidentally dropped my phone on the ground, his actions were swift as he picked up the phone and the handbag and ran off with his friend. "Hey, give that back! Give that back!" I shouted until my throat hurts and I didn't realised how stupid I was for not chasing them but as I took a step forward to run, the both of them were pointing a gun at me, my hands were surrendered in the air and I felt confident at first but I remembered that my gun was inside the luggage and I had no other choice but be in defeat as they got smaller in size when they distanced away.
I walk alone at the dark alleyway trying to find a way out while sobbing and crying my eyes out. First day of actually being a potential criminal and here I am, robbed, lost, alone, scared, cold, homeless and penniless, thinking of a way at how I'm gonna survive my life now that I lost everything. I lost my money, I lost my passport, I lost my phone and I lost everything. I continued to cry while walking at the breezy streets, I'm hopeless, I never knew my life would end this way, I'd probably die two days later and I wouldn't get to see my parents one last time just to say goodbye.
I finally found myself on the place where the bright lights were and the people are starting to go home and realised how far I have walked, if this is the place where I was before the phone rang then I must have been walking for too long that I ended up at the dark alleyway without realising it. I hugged myself as smoke began to form from my sighs, my eyes were still watering as I find somewhere to stay for the night, I didn't want to talk to anyone since I'm being all shy and a coward.
After a lot of more walking, I ended up on what looks like a park with a lot of vacant bench and lampposts, all lightened up. I sat at one of the bench and cried my heart out, as loud as I want it to be. I've lost everything, I sacrificed all my being for nothing. I'll never be able to see my parents again and say my last farewell, I'll starve or even freeze to death in Ireland without having a nice and decent burial, I would never get the money back, I lost my phone, I lost everything and I actually let my parents down too, I was a bit closer to finally freeing them but what have their stupid daughter has gotten into? She got robbed and is now alone in the wintry park of Ireland. Homeless, penniless, life's getting filled with loneliness, I've never knew my life would end like this, the cruelest thing that can ever happen.
I can't just forget about it, I came in this country with loads of expensive things and now I ended up broke, life is cruel indeed, I'd rather die now than experience more guilt for not taking care of the things and tasks that I was given. I curled up in a ball and lie down on the cold steeled bench that I was sitting on and sobbed for possibly forever. It took a little while until I realised that I was getting drowsy any second now and that's when my eyes shut closed while some of the last minute tears came rolling down my face and get dried by the cold breeze of Ireland.
I was awoken by a noise but my eyes remained close, I was already scared of the people around Ireland, a rapist could possibly be the one who's making that noise and will attempt to do something to me. I remained still and my eyes were still closed but I kept myself alerted in any possible attacks. I noticed that the noise was gone but I can still sense a living thing's presence, my heart beats gone wild not only because of whoever is around me but also because of the freezing temperature. A bark of a dog was the only thing I heard afterwards and I slowly opened one eye to see if it's only me and a dog around the place. I kept my eye opened with blurry visions because it isn't fully open and so I further opened it and saw a dog with its wagging tail and a bloke and I quickly closed my eyes once again.
My breathing was uneven but what could a bloke with a dog possibly do to me? But it was still dangerous, the both of them are a trap, he made the dog bark so that I'll go and fetch it because he knows half of the human population can't resist cute dogs, especially women and so that will serve him to ambush me once I got up and then he'll do whatever he wants to me until I die.
My thoughts were going crazy but I was always crazy, I think this is just a side effect of losing everything you have and also your life. I curled my toes inside the rubber shoes that I was wearing, I need to ready myself for possible things that a man can do to me. I can feel his presence getting nearer and nearer towards me, it's time for him to face his death.
I opened both of my eyes but I was welcomed by his blue eyes, similar as to a blue marble and his soft and adorable features, he was too cute to be someone who'll attempt to do something bad to me, his hair had brown roots but the rest of his hair was blond, he looks like an innocent cute puppy with that look on his face.
"Hi" he greeted but suddenly realised that I shouldn't fall for his cute face, he's a trap and he's about to do something to me and that's when my hands raised and slapped him on the face. He whined because of the sting and caused him to sit on the grass while his hands caressed his red cheeks. He looks so innocent and pure, he could be the sibling of the cute puppy beside him.
I shook off my thoughts and sat on the bench, pointed a finger at him and spoke. "Who are you? What do you want from me? I don't have anything left so if you could just rob anyone else, it would be grateful"
"Rob? What are you talking about?"
"So you're about to kidnap me aren't you? I can't believe you Irish people, this is the home of criminals!"
"What are you talking about? I'm not gonna do anything harmful to you" I didn't noticed how strong his accent was until he spoke that dialogue, my eyes blinked fast and I looked down at the guy whom I was talking to who is sat on the ground. I never had a proper conversation with a guy before except for Zayn, Mr. Minami and Roger doesn't count since they're older but me, actually talking to a guy? This is a miracle. I never talked to guys back then because they're so full of themselves and Zayn is an exception because he isn't like any of those stupid and shallow headed males that I encountered in my life. This isn't even close to a proper conversation but still, I was still talking to someone opposite my gender.
"Then what do you want from me?" I asked after my train of thoughts, he got up from the ground and rubbed off the dirt that got stuck from his pants and sat beside me, I scooted away to make a bigger distance between us.
"Nothing, I just wondered what a beautiful girl is doing alone and sleeping in the cold at a time like this" he checked his watch to see the time while my eyes wandered around the park to see if there was any other girl in the park except for me but I guess it was only me and that means that the beautiful girl he was defining was me but I kept finding a girl, he might be talking about someone else. "What are you looking for?"
"A beautiful girl" he chuckled at my response and I turned to look at him with a questioning look to know what was so funny with the thing I just said.
"Silly, I was talking about you" I felt warmness cross along my body. Being called a beautiful girl? Yeah I get that a lot but this is actually the first time I felt like this. I feel flattered. I thought that I look haggard after all the happenings, I fiddled my fingers and stared at it, wondering what's happening to me and why the guy has some strange effect on me. "My name is Niall by the way" he offered a hand to me and I stared at it then looked at his face with a smile, he looks so comparable to the dog earlier. I took his hand and shake it up and down.
"Victoria" I introduced, trying to return a smile but failing miserably, I can't just smile after all the horrendous things that happened to me.
"Oh, got a secret?" He asked and I was confused at first then finally knew how bad his pun was and I flashed him a glare while his smile reached his ear, being so proud of himself because of the pun. Our hands were still shaking one another until I gripped his hand firmer, and my eyes widened and remembered...
Ianna Rain Orlando
I bit my gums and got tensed, I was not supposed to say my real name.
"Oh no, my bad! My name is not Victoria"
"Wooh! You just don't want to get teased with the secret thing" Niall continued to laugh, my nails dug through Niall's hand but he soon took it away so he can hold on his stomach while laughing out loud. He stood up from the bench, still laughing and holding on to his stomach while I'm sitting with deep thoughts on my head once again and how I'm so messed up now that the first person I met in Ireland knows my real identity.
"Do you have a place to stay? You can stay in my flat for awhile" Niall offered but I was a bit skeptical at first but it's the only way to survive and I need to accept his offer. I got up from the bench too and slightly nodded at Niall. "Tell me your story while I go find Irish again and head off to my flat"
"Irish?"
"Yeah, the dog that I was with earlier, can you do me a favour and find him too? You can stay at my place for free if you do, thanks a lot... Irish!" Niall was straightforward with his words as he began to find the missing dog, I didn't know what to do and so I just shouted the weird name of the dog which is Irish and he finally came springing behind the bushes.
"There you are! Don't go play hide and seek with daddy at a time like this" The pup that looks a lot like a mix of a labrador and a golden retriever was safely wrapped into Niall's arms as he guided the way to his place.
"Daddy?" I said with a questioning tone, Niall blushed and looked down on his little pup.
"Yeah, just don't mind it okay" it was now my time to laugh at him, he looked a bit embarrassed but not that pissed, it's payback time after him making fun of me having a secret. For a little while, I forgot about the past happenings and it was magical, I want to stay unproblematic for an amount of time and laughing at Niall was a great past time.
