Chapter 96 - Revenge 95: Short Time Should Not Be Cut Any Shorter

[A minutes earlier]

"Where is uncle Alfonso? I have something to tell him urgently ." Zen asks Pia and they did not notice Anna went to the kitchen.

"Oh, you just missed him when you and Anna came back here." They just missed him? How did they not noticed it? There is only one way to Alfonso's house hoe on earth did they missed it? If Zen would have known that this would happen, he and Anna wouldn't have stayed at the park for too long.

Zen has a worried look on his face that it made Pia curious. She wanted to ask what is bothering him but she held herself back and instead she said, "Do you want me to call him?"

Zen shook his head in disapproval. "I can do it. You can instead focus your attention with Alexandre." Zen looked at where is Alexandre is, the first time he saw Alexandre he already falls for the little one's charm. He wants to hold Alexandre but Anna stopped him from doing so, her reason was 'You are full of germs, don't touch the baby.' When Anna said that to him he really felt down.

Zen heard from Anna the situation between the mother and child. He thought that it is too unfair for both of them to be separated too early. He hopes that Pia can survive so that Alexandre can have a mother who will support him until he is a grown man.

Zen does not how what it feels like to lose a mother since his mother is still alive and well but he knows that going to be difficult for Alexandre.

Even though Zen would not say it verbally, Pia could sense that Zen is pitying him right now but what can she do about that? This is the fate that she will have to face head-on. If she's regretting something then the only thing she's regretting is that she can't watch her own son grow up to be a fine man that she dreamed of.

"Yes, you are right," Pia said with a smile on her face and went near her son who is currently laying on his crib. Alexandre was holding his rattle toy. He was so cute as he giggles. Oh, how much she wishes to see him laugh as he grows up.

Tears were welling up on her eyes but she immediately wiped it away. She won't cry; she has to stay positive for the sake of her baby. She wants at least a happy good memories with her child even though Alexandre might not remember anything since he is still a baby.

Zen, on the other hand, looked at the mother and son pair and he felt sad; truly sad. Now more than ever he is determined to bring those people who are targeting them down. They have no rights to kill Pia and Alexandre; Pia still needs Alexandre as Alexandre needed his mother. They both only have such short time between them and that short time should not be cut any shorter.

Zen took out his phone and tried to contact Alfonso but to no avail no matter how he calls him there was no answer from Alfonso's side. At this crucial situation, why is Alfonso not answering the call? 'Damn it!'

He wants to catch those bad guys as soon a possible. This matter cannot prolong any longer; he and Anna do not know when and where that lunatic and her hired hooligans will strike. And it is important to make a move now but Alfonso is not answering his call.

Without any other choice, he went and search for Anna. When he found her he immediately went near her and did not notice the other person who is with Anna.

"Anna..." He called and Anna looked at his direction. He looked so worried that it made Anna wonder what happened.

He leaned closer to Anna's ear and whispered, "I can't contact uncle Alfonso and we don't know when he will be back. I think that it's not good to prolong the situation... What should we do?"

"Then we can just call your dad. Uncle Zack will surely make a move, right?" Anna said in an anxious tone. Zen is right it's not good to wait for Alfonso when they don't know when and where would Elina and her hired hooligans make their move.

"We can but my dad and uncle Mike is currently not in the country right now." The anxious look on Anna did not fade and only gotten worse. Anna already had a place for Alexandre in her heart; she thinks of Alexandre as her little brother now and Alexandre's safety and happiness are also important to her now. Can't let anything happen to him and his mother.

"How about your mother?" Zen asked. He thinks that Anna's mother is much more reliable in this kind of situation since she is a leader of a certain organization that his dad works for. Though he is still in the state of accepting the existence of that organization his dad is in. Looking at the situation right now Anna's mother is their only choice and he does not have the luxury to be picky to ask someone else for help.

"She's also not here in the country, but I can call her. She can tell us what to do or she might contact uncle Fonso for us." It seems that her mother was really the only option they have. Mary can tell them what they should do or call Alfonso since Alfonso does not have the guts to reject a call from Mary.

Both Zen and Anna were so immersed in their conversation that Anna has forgotten that there is a certain person who is listening to their every word. His expression right now is not really good. This is the first time that someone really dares to ignore him and focus on somebody else.

Kyle does not know what is really going on but base on their conversation that he heard, the situation that they are in right now is not really good. The only thing that is bothering him is that Anna has totally forgotten that he is here. How can she do that? Is he really just nothing in her eyes that she could just ignore him just like that.
