Moving On

Moving On
New Year


In a small room that feels very narrow. Emelie sits on the bed with her legs folded. It has been almost 2 Weeks the British royal princess is in exile in Hong Kong. Tomorrow, the year has changed. Emelie looked out the window that was no longer bright. Engraving a thin smile on his red lips.


Tomorrow Emelie will be home, Your Grace ....


Luke has arranged all plans for Emelie's return. The woman will no longer be in Hong Kong tomorrow night. Plan to travel the world freely, he buried it so deeply. Emelie doesn't want to run away anymore. After returning to England, the woman was determined to comply with all her parents' wishes. Forgetting happiness. He doesn't want to feel lost anymore. Emelie wants to carry out her duties as the Princess of the Kingdom.


Emelie got out of that bed. Before returning to England, he wanted to enjoy a birthday party in Hong Kong. Emelie took a brown coat hanging on the wall. Walk in very relaxed steps. Get down the stairs to head towards the city center.


Along the way there were fireworks. Various shapes and colors of fireworks decorate the sky of Hong Kong on that night. Emelie stopped in the middle of the crowd. The location is very noisy and crowded. Everyone put out a word with a happy face.


Emelie tried to carve out the same smile as the others. Staring at the beautiful sky while imagining the faces of his parents. All of a sudden, tears melted profusely from Emelie's eyes. Without a sound, the woman could not reveal her heart at this moment.


The tears fell past his tyrannical face, before falling from his skinny chin. The wind blew hard and cold. Emelie closed her two eyes that felt sore. Breathe in the cold air to calm his mind.


The crowded atmosphere was no longer heard by him. The fragments of the past when he was a child reappeared. Her lips smiled slightly, with her eyes still closed. It was clearly visible in his shadow, while he was still on his parents' lap. Laughing happily with a plain and spoiled face.


A bunch of teenagers running, suddenly bumped into him. Emelie fell on the surface of the road.


“Sorry, sorry.” The 12-year-old looks scared.


“It's okay.” Emelie got back up with a small smile.


“Why is Brother crying?” The teenager looked curious with tears still remaining on Emelie's face.


“It's happy tears,” replied Emelie with her smile.


Sparks burst forth to shine in the Hong Kong sky. The year has arrived. Everyone seemed happy to welcome the new year that night. The children were seen jumping with carefree faces. Emelie saw some people closing their ears because they heard the sound of firecrackers deafening the ears.


The sound of firecrackers getting louder and louder. Fireflowers are everywhere, too. Suddenly, Emelie's tears came out again. A year ago, it was her last moment to celebrate the new year with the family she loved. This year he has to be alone. In a foreign place.


“Kakak .. sister why?” The little girl who was still beside Emelie looked terrified. Amidst the rumbling of firecrackers and the sound of everyone's laughter. Emelie was crying.


“Don't cry anymore. If you are afraid of the sound of firecrackers, you can close your ears like this.” The little girl taught Emelie how to cover her ears.


Emelie gave a small laugh hearing the boy's words.


“I have to go,” said the woman as she ran towards the front road.


Emelie's legs feel very weak. Both legs could no longer support his body. The woman fell to her knees on the street. The crying broke again. Emelie was crying.


From distance. Zeroun and Luke stood on the side of the road. Gold Dragon troops were also at that location to keep an eye on Zeroun and Emelie. Zeroun no longer blinked paying attention to Emelie. The man put both his hands in his pocket. Didn't want to walk closer to help Emelie that night. The man preferred to pay attention to Emelie from a distance. Watch and observe Emelie closely. Despite just looking, Zeroun already knew what Emelie was feeling that night.


“Bos, all prepared. Princess Emelie will return to England tomorrow. The British royal party will send a plane to pick up the Princess at Hongkong Airport.” Luke explained all the procedures he had prepared.


“Good, the sooner he comes back. Then it will be better for his life.” Zeroun twisted his body to avert his gaze. The man did not want to feel sad as well when he saw Emelie's slump.


“Do you want to go home, Boss?” Lukas bent his head.


“Yes, make sure Princess Emelie returns safely,” Zeroun replied briefly.


“Good, Boss.” Luke gave orders to several Gold Dragon troops. The Gold Dragon army was split into two groups. Some keep Emelie, some follow Zeroun.


Zeroun walked calmly towards his car. One guard opened the door to make way for him. Luke took over the wheel that night. The car drove quickly, leaving the crowd in the center of the city.


Luke watches Zeroun's face through the rearview mirror. It had been a few days that Zeroun had been watching Emelie remotely. Makes Luke's heart wonder at Zeroun's attitude all along.


“Bos, I've also tracked down that hit man. It looks like they are from England. There's a group of mobsters working as hitmen.”


“Do you know who is the leader of the mafia gang?” Zeroun threw his gaze out the window.


“I haven't managed to find out his real identity, Boss. But for sure, the mafia was ordered by someone who was inside the kingdom. Looks like someone wants Princess Emelie's death.” Lukas glanced at Zeroun's face from the rearview mirror.


Zeroun no longer wanted to discuss the matter of Princess Emelie. The man chose to close his eyes. Again the year changed. A year ago he had just arrived in Hong Kong and was fighting with some big mafia to fight over Hong Kong. This year, he has to face the new Mafia again.


His life could never feel an eternal calm. The man is being chased by fighting and murder. Zeroun cannot avoid bloodshed. The man seemed destined to live in the middle of a fight.


“Don't let Shabira know all this ...” Zeroun said in a slow tone.


“What's more Serena ...” connect Zeroun still with eyes closed.


“Good, Boss.” Luke increased the speed of his car. Watching the several Gold Dragon cars that were now following them from behind.


Along the way there are only sparks. Colorful sparks decorate Hong Kong sky. Luke noticed the sparks that filled the outskirts of the road. His heart was saddened by his superior. Even though they are desperately avoiding trouble. But, still, it was lazy to come uninvited.


Boss, I'm sure. Someday. All of this will have its end. You can be happy with the life you want. I will always be by your side to accompany you through this thorny road.
