EIGHT TARGETS

“For me, you are enough of a good father, my dear.  Why do you doubt yourself so much?”  Said Ms. Nana while looking warmly at her husband's face.

“You know, Honey.  My mother died from complications after giving birth to me.  That's why grandparents from both my mother and my father, including Arkias always act cold to me and always say that I'm an unlucky child.  Often at school and also at home when my father was not around, Arkias beat me for no reason.  Even after growing up, his attitude softened somewhat on me, but it could not eliminate my trauma as a child.  I actually think that whether children who are undermined by the trauma of broken home like me are able to raise children well?”  Said Mr. Lucias letting out all the fatigue in his heart with a sad expression on his face.

“It's natural that parents worry about their child.  I also when I went home and found out that our son had experienced such an incident, I could not help my shock.  I'm not happy with Brother Dwinda's parents who died, but had it been that Kak Dwinda's parents had not died in an accident and the police would not have gone home so would not have found our son locked up, it is possible that our son who will die replaces both parents of Dwinda's brother.  Just think about it, I don't think I can..”  Said Ms. Nana sentimentally while crying.

“Sayang.”  Lucias patted his wife's shoulder trying to calm her down.

Ms Nana wiped her tears and looked at her husband with a smile and said, “After all, isn't Kaiser a strong boy?  I'm sure he'll grow up to be a good boy as we expected.”

“Strong huh?  You may not realize it, but your child is actually suffering from claustrophobia [9].  You can observe that our son is always trying to go alone for a walk and always refuses Agni to accompany him.  But why is it that only when going to the hospital visiting Dios and Danial, does he always ask that Agni be always nearby?  That's because she can't ride the hospital elevator alone.”

Hearing the reply from Mr. Lucias, Ms. Nana gaped.  He was completely lost in realizing that.  His face became sad too.

“I don't think I'm a good mother to the point of not being aware of it.”

However, Bu Nana's expression returned stern.  He seemed to be trying to strengthen himself to build up his resolve.  He continued saying, “But darling, can't we still be by our son's side?  As long as we can still be by his side, there will always be an opportunity for us to improve ourselves in order to become more worthy parents.  Isn't that right?”

“You're right, baby.  But by the way it's past 11, why our son has not come home too huh?”

“Truely too Dear.  Try you contact.”

Mr. Lucias immediately called his son according to Bu Nana's direction.

“Tiiit..tiiit...tiiit....[...]...tit...tit.....tit...... The number you are going to is busy, please wait a few more moments.”

The phone was not picked up.  Mr. Lucias tried to contact him again, but many times contacted also remained unappointed as well.  Even Lucias, without a second thought, immediately went out of the house to look for his son.  Ms. Nana who also wanted to come, immediately prevented by the reason her legs are still blisters and swollen.

***

In the villa, Araka sits on one of the chairs on the terrace of the first floor of his villa.  He then reached into the smartphone in his pocket and contacted someone.  The nickname on the smartphone was ‘Lu Shou’, none other than one of his half-sisters.

[The conversation that follows is all in Chinese]

“Araka?  What's the matter, you call tumben nights like this?  It's past midnight, right?”

“Is that?  Here it is still not 12 pm.”

“So, what are you calling night-night?”

“Lho, you why Araka?  Your tone is strange.”

“Is that?  Probably because of the night wind.  Oh yes Brother, can you ask for one thing?”

“What is it?  Take it easy, whatever it is, your brother will definitely help all your problems.”

“If anything happens to Araka and I want to avenge the person named Kaiser, please prevent Kak.  Kaiser is a good boy, but lately a lot of the mass media are trying to incite public opinion to bring him down.  I'm worried that Dad will also be consumed by that provocation and take revenge on the wrong person.”

“Hei, Araka.  What did you just say?  Your words are strange.”

“Please Brother, make sure don't let Dad to touch Kaiser.”

“Hei..”.

Not yet had Lu Shou continued his words, Araka had hung up on him.

[Kaiser, isn't it that you didn't do it?  Even if it's true, then I'll be sincere as long as you forgive me.]  Araka muttered in the heart.

Araka immediately stood up from her chair and looked around.  The killing aura he had felt around his home in the capital, he had once again felt from earlier around the villa he was in just when he came home after meeting Kaiser.  As a person who learned martial arts, Araka was very confident in her ability to sense the killing aura directed at her.

“Isn't it time for you to come out, vile killer.”

After Araka said that, suddenly from behind the bushes came out a mysterious figure wearing tight all-black clothes with a black head covering all over his head accompanied by a white pierrot mask that laughed bitterly that only revealed his eyes that's.  Those eyes, bright blue.

The Killer then drew his sword with his left hand while running to Araka to slash it.  The Killer lowered his position intending to slash Araka from the bottom.  Araka immediately took the two daggers that had been stored in her small bag and fended off the sword that was not too long but also not short of the killer by crossing the dagger with both hands with his wrist as a wick.

Realizing his standing position while the assassin was at a lower position than him with both of his legs free, Araka immediately jumped back.  The Killer floated a kick with his right foot along with Araka who jumped backwards so that Araka also managed to avoid the attack.

This time Araka took the initiative to attack.  He circled around the killer and positioned himself at the Killer blind spot then attacked using a dagger in his right hand.  But the Killer seemed to have predicted the attack so quickly that the dagger was parried by his sword.

But that was just Araka's trick.  Araka unceremoniously used the dagger in her left hand to slash the Killer while her weapon was held by the dagger in her right hand.  However, the Killer swiftly punched Araka's wrist so that the dagger did not hit him.

The murderer went on fire and attacked Araka from above.  Araka held back the attack with her two daggers in a cross-legged position as she looked up at the Killer.  However, it was only the Killer's trick.  Araka's neck was wide open.  The Killer swiftly landed and immediately floated his left leg against Araka's neck.  In his shoes there was a knife and the knife managed to slit Araka's throat.

Araka also fell with blood.  There's a picture that came out of his little bag when he fell.  That's a picture of the six of him, one of whom is with Kaiser.  The photo was covered in blood, drenched in Araka's blood.
