Chapter 2

Rama is on his way home from the meeting he attended at the IT Park in Palermo. So he was late on his trip home to their house.
After he arrived outside their house, he immediately honked his horn to open the gate for him. But he has been honking his horn there for five minutes and no one has opened the door for him.
Maybe Ryan was in the kitchen again, thinking that he was referring to their gardener.
So he was forced to get out of the car. He didn't notice a man approaching from behind him. He hit him on the back of the neck where he was sitting. Before he passed out he felt him picking him up and put in a car.
Rama WAKES UP. He immediately looked around. He remembered that someone hit him on the back of the neck and he lost consciousness. He was about to stand up from his seat when he noticed that he was tied to the chair he was sitting on. He can still feel the pain in his neck.
"Well! Well! Well! You're good and awake Mister Moradas," laughed a bearded man with a closed face. Its body is big. He estimated that he was about thirty-eight. Behind it are four other men who look like movie villains.
"What do you want?" he asked here.
"I don't have it. But my client has it. You owe him a lot because of your carelessness," he said with a smile.
"Who ordered you? Send him here and when we do the math," he ordered angrily.
"There's no need Mister Moradas. That's why we're here. He paid us to take you away. But before we take you away, it might not be too much for your parents to shower us with grace. Aren't they guys?"
"Right! Right!" they answered in agreement with what he said.
"You devils!" he snorted.
But they just make fun of him.
He saw that the bearded man with a closed face called someone and approached him.
"Mrs. Moradas, your handsome son is here with us. If you still want to see him, please shower us with your grace. Only ten million, Mrs. Moradas, in exchange for your son's life," he said laughing loudly.
He heard his mother wailing on the other line because she was on a loud speaker.
"Don't hurt my son. We'll give it to you," said his mother.
"Mom, don't give up. I'll find a way. I'll run away from here," he shouted.
"You heard your son's voice, wife. Maybe that's right. Later, at eleven o'clock at night in an abandoned building in Studio legale Cappetti, on Corso Castelfidardo, that's where you leave the money."
"How about my son?" His mom said.
"Don't worry you will see him too."
And it immediately cut the call.
"Wooah! We're going to be rich. Besides Mister Barioga still paying us, his parents still have a ransom," he said.
"STUPID!" The bald-faced man hit one of his skinny colleagues. "Didn't Mister Barioga inherit not to mention his name in front of this man?"
"I'm sorry I slipped. You mentioned you too, so we're the same. So what else are you worried about, we'll knock it down too," said the thin man pointing at him.
"That's right!" that bearded man with a closed face said. "Alright, get ready and we'll have a walk."
And they left him tied to the chair.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't really get away. He was already tied to the rope, it was still chained and locked.
In that situation, he lost hope of escaping. Why is he born to a rich family? I hope that he was just poor and that he was not interested in being kidnapped.
When he was still in high school, he was also kidnapped.
The kidnappers ransomed him from his parents for two million. And here he is again, abducted for ransom. In addition to that, there is a personal interest of the person he ran into in his work, Mister Barioga.
A well-known businessman in Lake Como. Because he always catches his contraband at the pier. Because he works at the Bureau of Customs. His money has already defrauded him several times. At first he gave her a car as a gift just to let the cargo from China slip through but she didn't accept it. Whatever it was giving him.
Lately, he lost a lot of his investment because he again caught several million worth of his expensive motorcycles from Japan. It always lacks documents and the prices it declares on the documents are incorrect so he puts it on hold it's just like the others.
So he can't blame her for being so angry with him. He explained to her that he was just doing his job but she still didn't understand. If his other companions are bribed by it, well, he is not. Now that he had abducted him to be sent away, he wondered if how much he hates her.
GIOVANNA SURPRISED her Papa in his office so he was shocked to see him standing at the door of his office. It immediately signaled the person in question to leave them. He immediately came to her and kissed her on the cheek.
"What brings you here, my princess?"
"Nothing, Pa. I just missed you, that's why I thought of visiting you. Why, don't you miss?" he said sulking.
"Hays… my girl, oh. She sulks right away. Of course. I miss you too girl. I was just busy with our businesses. I've been texting and calling you, haven't I?" he said comforting her.
"Of course it's still different "when we meet again."
"I'm really sorry girl. I'm just really busy.
Don't worry, I'll get back to you in time."
"Really?"
"Of course. You are my only treasure in life. Wait, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, eh."
"Hang on, I'll just finish this and we'll eat outside together," he said as he continued to sign some documents.
His father is in the construction business so he is very busy with his projects. So he also understood that he only met him once even though he was texting and calling him all the time.
It was over after a while. They walked out of his office building hand in hand. He is closer to his Dad than his Mom, so that's how they treat each other.
Even though he's twenty-five, he's still babying him. He can't do anything because he is his only child. But when his Mom does this to him, he gets upset. He was not used to it because it was always not in their house.
He took him to Rosario's Restaurant. It's just off the highway. The place is beautiful. Cozy and elegant. It was his first time to enter there. They sat at a table near the window overlooking the passing cars on the highway. It had a small garden next to the window they were in that they passed by when they entered earlier.
After a while, the waiter came to them and handed over the menu.
He passed the menu.
"What would you like to eat, girl?" asked his Papa who also had his eyes fixed on the menu.
"It's up to you Pa. I don't know these things written here. I think they are all seafood”
"Seafoods are their specialty here," he said with a smile. He ordered a grilled blue marlin and stew.
While they were waiting for their order, he didn't waste any more time to say what he really meant by meeting here.
"Ahm, Dad, do you still love Mom?" he looked directly at him.
 "Why did you ask that?"
"Nothing."
"You already know my answer to that, Giovanna."
"But I want to hear it Pa," he insisted, also reaching his father's eyes.
"Yes, I love your mother Giovanna," he replied to him who was now bowing.
"Pa, can you fix the problem with Mom already?. All I want is to build our family again," he said and his eyes began to water. He gets emotional when family is discussed.
"Son, what you are asking is not that easy. The problem between me and your Mama is no longer hidden from you," he answered her with a frown.
"Mama has changed. Why don't you give her another chance?"
"You don't really know your mother, Giovanna. Your Mama is cunning."
I was about to speak but the he said that it was right. Their ordered food arrived on time.
They both ate in silence. He knows his Dad. 'When it doesn't want to talk about something, it really doesn't want to. All he wants is for his parents to say goodbye to each other so that his family can be reunited. He doesn't want to be part of a broken family. Maybe it's time to let his parents know if it's going to work out or not. If his parents really love each other, he will willingly talk in depth to solve their problems.
"Oh how is your business?" breaking it in a few moments of silence between them.
"It's okay. On the second, our tenth branch will open in Turin," he answered as he played with the small piece of fish on his plate with his fork.
"Good to hear that! It's good that Your mom hasn’t bothering you. ."
"Not at all." He would like to add that it has really changed and is not the same as before.
But he just didn't pursue it.
"Leave it, son. Your Mama and I will talk when the time comes," he said to her seriously, looking into the distance. Maybe he noticed that he was sad because of what he said to him earlier.
After they ate, he took him to his office.
He kissed him on the cheek before he left. 
"GOOD AND THE MONEY IS COMPLETE. Now put that man in the van and let's go," Rama listened to the command of the bearded man with his face covered, whom he realized was Romeo's name.
He was immediately released from the shackles of his companions and closed his eyes.
He fought but it was still ignored because four people were holding him and his eyes were still blindfolded. He was taken into the van. A few moments later, he felt that the van they were riding in had started running. They traveled for about an hour before it stopped.
They put him down and removed the blindfold from his eyes.
"Where are we?" he asked.
"We are in Portofino in Metropolitan City of Genoa " answered one of Romeo's companions.
"Oh go ahead. Pray Mister Moradas that San Pedro will welcome to you because this is the end of you," said Romeo and they laughed.
"Run!" And he shot him in the leg to stun him but he didn't hit him.
They shot him one after the other. He jumped up and down as if he were dancing while they laughed at him.
"You won't run? Huh? Are you brave?" said one of Romeo's four companions and punched him in the stomach. He fell asleep from that pain.
"Demons. Just make sure you kill me tonight because if you don’t, I’ll fcking KILL YOU!”
They laughed at each other. "Well, don't run. We're giving you a chance to escape if you don't want to," said Romeo and he shot him in the leg again. And then he ran fast while he continued to fire at him and he hit him in the back. But it was too late when he realized that it was a cliff and he completely fell.
"You sure its dead, boss?" asked one of them Romeo's colleague.
"Yes. It's dead for sure. With the depth of this cliff and the size of the rocks at the bottom, there's definitely no life even if there's still water at the bottom. The waves will also hit him," Romeo said. Sure that he really killed Rama.
"Nothing will last there. He won't survive," said the thin one.
"Let's go and maybe someone will see us here," Romeo said as he headed back to the van and his crew followed.
THE OPENING OF GIOVANNA’S Pastry branch in Turin was successful so his friends went home to Asti that night. He was very fond of Bianca's stories about Marco. If he can tell the story, it's like his friend already knows the young man well. It's so bad that if he gets an interview, he'll beat Boy Abunda.
"Oh there you go again. Maybe the next thing you'll tell us is that you want to die because your man left you again," he said as his eyes focused on the road.
"Maybe not now, sis. Because I really feel that he is here," he said, really sure of the words he said.
"Hey Bianca, I've heard that from you ten times but in the end, drama will be the result," Jana interjected who had been busy texting.
Bianca turned to Jana in the backseat and glared at her.
"Well, if he can talk, it doesn't seem like it's happening to him either. Hey mujer, we're just the same!
Life is like that, it's not perfect." He even threw a tissue box at Jana.
"That's right! Maybe you'll get together again," he scolded the two.
Jana just kept quiet and didn't answer Bianca who winced at this. Bianca sat down properly and picked up her pocketbook and read.
He just shook his head. He turned on his stereo and plugged in the cassette tape that contained his favorite song.
"Hey! That must be the oldest song I've heard in my whole life that you're going to play," Bianca commented to him, referring to her favorite song by Shirley Bassey, As I Love You.
It's also his daddy's favorite song that he used to play when he was young. It's old.
"That song old but he likes it very much because the lyrics are beautiful. Know it and make him fall in love.
He just ignored Bianca as he continued to read the pocketbook he was holding. While Jana was just behind. It's effortless and fun to play on PSP. He parked his car on a secluded part of the road when he felt the call of nature.
"Hey why did you stop?" Jana asked him.
"I can't stop it anymore and he's about to come out," he said as he hurriedly got down with the tissue and ran towards the dense road.
There he found a place. In the distance he heard someone talking so he peeked into them. He saw a man with his hands tied being lowered into the van by four men followed by a large man.
Soon it shot the man in the legs as if he was being danced. He covered his mouth as he almost screamed. Until he saw the man running and being shot by them.
He saw it hit before it fell off the cliff.
He quickly left his place because of the fear he witnessed. After he got to his car, he immediately sped off which surprised his friends.
"Hey what happened to you and you seem to have seen a ghost," said Bianca.
"Yes! What were those shots we heard?" Jana asked.
"N-no-noth, thats. Nothing," that was all he could answer. He couldn't speak again because of the intensity of the fear he felt until they reached Asti.
