Capítulo 31: The Last Thing Gone Wrong

"Yeah, yeah, so what?" Asked me to get annoyed because of the repetitive explanation she gave.

"Did you know how many people participate in this program?" Asked her looking at me viciously. It really didn't match the excited tone she gave out.

It's bugging me. Participate? "It sounds like you force them." I hope this has not gotten that dark.

While she started to walk around me, she said. "Nina, Nina, Nina... You should not said that. We didn't force them, we persuaded them."

While feeling upset, I said. "It's the same!"

She stopped, grabbed the seat she had given, and whispered to me. "Yes, that's why we decided to create this program. It was already well-planned for thirty years, the time this school was built."

My ears feel sensitive because of her. "You should stop whispering to me."

She pulls her head back and looks surprised. "D-Did you just... turned on?"

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!!?" It's like a reflex for me to say that. "I am not really."

She patted my head and said. "Don't worry, I will fully take the responsibility." and lifts her eyebrow for a moment.

It makes my body tremble. Huh? I didn't want to be an old-woman girlfriend! That's what I wanted to talk about, but I imagined it again and it got me trembling. No, no, no! She was already that scared and I didn't have any history of joining martial arts. I don't want the same event to happen to me twice!

I shook my head and said. "Wait! This is not what I wanted to do!"

She looks at me with a surprised face. "Was it not?"

"It's not! I wanted to say that I didn't have any little interest in this program and your threat... Whatever I think about it again, I still can make my family rich!" I didn't realize that my voice was too loud.

She looks at me with a lame face. "Oh so? Surprisingly, you are slow Nina." Said her while pointing to my sister's picture.

"That's prohibited in law." Said me feeling cocky but...

"You think we can't bribe law?" Said her while underestimating me.

... Just... She's right, this school has the richest person in the world after all. And, they have Eunha Falscroft. He can edit the evidence as he pleases.

I laugh. Laugh and laugh... More and more loud. This is the first time I would lie. It should be with Linda but I decided to tell her the truth that I just want to look after them. But this...!

"You? Heh!! The one who can't comprehend my ability? Sure, do it." Said me with a cocky face and a crazy tone.

I... I never talk like this before even in my life. It's just this is the first time. Thanks to my sister, she is almost the same as her in the habit of changing their way of talking. But for thought, I am the most similar to her. It's just we are differentiated in our ability to stand in front of fear.

She was stunned and looking down. She lifts her head and looks at me sharply.

"I don't want to offer this but... Didn't you want to know about the assassin who killed your father?"

... I... Huh? Those words, I can't answer it. It's just, my mouth giving up on it. My body was stunned because of the shocking reveal. How? For a time like this, I should... I can't calm myself.

...

Nina sixth years old...

The flash sound blurted out Nina's vision. It was new but bothering her. She just focused on her father at the podium talking about something that she didn't know about it.

Her father, George Cascandra is presenting the new medicine for cancer to the world. He was the most excellent doctor in the world. His theorems, his concepts, and all of his works are well-known by other people. That's the time when the Cascandra family is the sixth biggest name of the family. Below his father's sole company, Cascandra Co. He distributed all medicine he invented to the world and many people were saved because of his work. And now, he tries to save and cure the most impossible mutation.

"This is the new medicine for Cancer, it works by analyzing the human body as their host and will destroy anything that prevents them from doing it." Said him assertively and full of confidence.

Nina, the sixth years old kid raised her hand. All of the attention is focused on her.

(Who is her?)

(Why there was a kid here?)

(She's cute.)

(She's bothering this time.)

All of the thoughts have come inside this little kid's brain. It troubled her but she feels some joy about it.

George simply laughed and said. "Ah, Sorry, this is my beloved daughter."

He waves at Nina. She knows it because she read his thoughts that wished her to move down her hand and act accordingly like others.

The presentation continues. That was the time when Nina was fully conscious about herself. It's not because of their thought, it is because she gets shocked by the sound of a flash that is too loud for her.

She just sits where she sits. Waiting for her father to finish his presentation. The more time went on, the more she gained information from others. That was the International Doctor Meeting for presenting their experiment and a new concept of medicine.

She already knew that she could read people's minds because of other thoughts. Because of that, she just simply thinks. "Why do people talk this much when their mouths shut down?" and continue with. "Ah... They didn't talk, but think."

(My father asked me to sit here and act accordingly because before I begged him to this place. Just how pitiful I am? Ah... No, I am not pitiful. They were the pitiful ones. They work and gain the paper from wood called money. Why didn't they create it themselves rather than working hard? I can't understand...)

Nina's thoughts are blurted inside the sound of a flash camera taking her father's photos.

After that, George carried Nina home. His wife is waiting. But, he changed the plan as she asked him.

"Hey, Dad... Why are you lying to them?"

George is confused by her words and asks her gently with a humble tone.

"Humm? I am not."

But, Nina answers it with a gloomy tone. "No, you lied to them."

George gets more confused.

(What happened to her?)

"Nothing is happening with me. It's just, that you lied about the medicine." Said Nina still in a gloomy tone.

"H-Huh? That's not a lie, I called it... Hide the evidence."

Even after he gets exposed by his own child. He didn't stand back but, he stepped forward. However, it worked with his daughter.

"Oh... So that's it. You just hide it." Said Nina nodding while hearing that.

He knew that something had happened and decided to cheer Nina by going inside the mall.

The lights are glowy and make Nina want to cover her eyes. But, before she could do that, George carried her and sat her on his right shoulder.

While walking, George will ask Nina if there is something she wants. But, Nina just nodded but didn't pick up anything. George starts to feel uneasy about his daughter. His imagination got wild.

(W-What if my daughter gets scolded somewhere I didn't know and makes her upset?)

"Don't worry Dad, I am not upset." Said her with a gloomy tone.

Hearing that, George stopped her walk.

"Said it again?" Asked him shocked.

He thought that was a coincidence but, he believed that something happened twice it had a meaning for something he didn't know.

Nina refused to answer and just shook her head quickly.

George moves Nina down and faces her with a gentle and pleasant smile.

"Nina... What happens? Tell Dad, I would not be angry."

She pointed out some parents inside the mall and said after done it. "They told me that the children with bad habits and always ask for toys are ****."

George was stunned because of shock.

"Dad?"

He didn't believe it. But, he faces it in front of his eyes. The supernatural ability that is often used in the supernatural-fiction genre, is mind reading.

He touched Nina's shoulder and said. "Let's go to hospital."

Nina suddenly starts crying. George ignored it and carried her anyway. Inside the car, he asked the driver to go to the specified hospital in this city. And that will continue to the story of Nina facing the first doctor she had and the first person who knows her she has mind-reading ability. But, it was not fully identified. George decided not to dig it further. Of course, he is curious about it but... If something happens that someone wants this ability for their own good, it makes him scared.

After two years, their family is still as happy as ever. Supporting wife, two cute daughters... He still has a wish to get a son but he got so busy with his work that he didn't want it anymore.

And... That was the day... The day Nina lost his only truthful and support her whatever her condition.

16 November 2007, in her eighth year old. Crowded with some sound murmuring inside her thoughts, Nina woke up just to know that she accidentally read the conversation near her house.

(So? The plan?)

(Yeah, after he gets out, will tail him and execute him.)

After a moment, the sound of alarm alarmed inside the room. Wanda pushed the alarm unconsciously and made it break on the floor. It makes her sleep again. Rina just sleeps soundly.

Nina got up from the bed and found out that her father was cooking breakfast.

"Huh? Nina? Where are the others?" Asked him gently with a smile while moving the pan agilely.

She wanted to say a word to her father but, he turned off the stove and woke the rest of the family members up.

Nina looked out the window and looked at the car and her father's driver.

After all of the rest of the family woke up, they enjoyed their peaceful breakfast. While eating, Nina asked her mother.

"Mom... What executed mean?" Asked her curiously.

It makes Wanda choke a bit while George already feels normal about it.

"E-Executed means that you will be punished by law." Said her trying to cover up the truth.

(I can't tell her that it means to be shot down to die.)

She shocked. She didn't know what the executed word meant but she knew what the die word meant.

After eating, Nina sneaks out to her father's car.

When George finds out that Nina sneaks into the car, he just laughs. But... Nina starts to cry.

"W-What happened?" Asked George confused.

He panicked that Nina's crying had gotten worse.

He tried to pat her head and it calmed her down.

With a gentle voice, he said to her. "Nina... Could you tell Dad what happened?"

While sobbing, she said. "Sob* Dad... You will sob* and get executed."

George shocked. "E-Executed? W-When?"

"Sob* today."

George blanked out. He didn't know how to say it. He just hugged her. Hug her tightly. At that moment, George cried quietly. He wiped her tears down and told Nina.

"Nina... Be brave and always look to the front. And, be genuine okay?"

"But!!!"

Her words make George tremble with sadness. He said one thing to make Nina release his departure.

"Nina, I will meet a god. You should be happy, we will meet in heaven."

That was the finest lie he told her. Her mindreading has no effect with a perfect imagination and thought aligned with his words.

His last words are echoing in her mind. The last thing she could remember was that she told her family the whole thing about her ability and... She told them that our beloved George would die today. Wanda just acted ignorant because she thought that was a kid's joke.

But... She can't release the feeling of fear. She is not afraid that her husband die or not. She fears about Nina. She smiled like an angel while saying. "Dad will meet with god today."
