Chapter 4

*****Samantha Freen Takahashi*****

Sam's office...

" Ano 'to? " tanong ni Capt. Nam nang iabot ni Sam sa kanya ang isang files. Si Nam ay isang captain policewoman ng Abundant Harvest Village.

" Read on to find out what is written inside, " sagot ni Sam pagkatapos ay sinimangutan s'ya.

" Sabi ko nga, babasahin ko na, " naka-pout na sagot ni Nam, pagkatapos ay nanlaki ang mga mata n'ya dahil sa mangha.

" How did you get it? We can't find all the files of the Nakahara Mamoru family anywhere. Even our private investigators are struggling but you found it effortlessly, " amaze na amaze na sabi ni Capt. Nam habang pinapasadahan ng basa ang file na hawak 'nya.

" Maybe you forget that I'm a Takahashi, and in just three seconds I can get everything I want. No matter what it is, whether it's a thing or a person's life, " sabi ni Sam, pagkatapos ay ipinatong na paunat ang dalawang paa sa table na kaharap kung nasaan si Capt. Nam.

" Kaya nga kayo nanghingi ng tulong sa Takahashi family because you can't solve this simple thing, right? " dugtong pa ni Sam.

" Pwede ba Sam, tama na. Masyado mo nang iniinsulto ang pagkatao ko baka nakakalimutan mo ako ang police captain ng buong village tapos kung insultuhin mo ako eh gan'on na lang, " pagmamaktol ni Capt. Nam.

" Nakakainis ka, the words that come out from your mouth are always bad parang hindi mo ako bestfriend, " naka-pout na sabi ni Capt. Nam.

" Hey, huwag mo nga akong dramahan ng ganyan, let's go! " sabi ni Sam. Tumayo ito at hinila si Capt. Nam patayo.

" Saan tayo pupunta? "

" Saan pa ba? Pupuntahan natin ang tukmol na 'yan, napakabata pa n'ya para gumawa ng masama kaya habang maaga pa eh puputulin na natin ang sungay n'ya para hindi na pamarisan ng susunod na magiging henerasyon 'nya. "

Wala namang nagawa si Capt. Nam kung hindi magpadala na lang sa paghila ni Sam sa kanya. Nakangiti naman si Kirk, habang pinagmamasdan sila.

" Kirk, let's go! " sigaw pa ni Sam habang papalabas sila ng pinto.

" Yes, Boss! " sigaw ni Kirk pagkatapos ay patakbo nang sumunod sa kanila.

Sam is the only heir of the Takahashi family and she needs to continue the legacy of their family with her cousin Tee and Jade Takahashi. When she was young, Sam was trained in the use of various types of fighting so that she would be ready in the future. Hindi n'ya naman talaga gustong maging tagapagmana ng trono ng Daddy n'ya, gusto n'ya ay masaya at simpleng buhay lamang.

Masaya silang namumuhay noon, kahit pa na ang Daddy n'ya ang tumatayong leader ng buong village. Dahil sa Daddy n'ya ay naging masagana ang ani at payapa ang lugar nila sa tulong na rin ng mga pulis. The illegal sale of drugs stopped, the robbers have also disappeared from their place and the rape victims case has ended, the land grabbing by savages who have abused power also stopped, farmers have been treated fairly and also the increase of wages in factories. Their residents were also given a livelihood, which is why their family was highly respected.

Ang mommy naman ni Sam ay nagpapatakbo ng Hotel and Restaurant. Isa itong magaling na chef at lubos na hinahangaan ni Sam, kaya naman bukod sa mixed martial arts ay ibinuhos rin n'ya ang oras sa pag-aaral sa pagluluto. For Sam, everything was so perfect, she couldn't ask for anything more because she felt so happy but all happiness has a corresponding struggles, and she's not ready for it.

One night, bad people entered their house. It was obvious from their actions that they would not spare anyone from the Takahashi family. They were also skilled in the use of weapons and it was obvious from their actions that everything was planned. They threw tear gas so that they could not fight anymore. The evil people accomplish their goal of killing the Takahashi family.

Because Sam is still young, she can't fight back. She doesn't have the skills yet, the only thing she can do is hide and watch how bad people slowly take the lives of her parents.

This is where Sam's leadership in Abundant Harvest Village began. Even if she didn't want to, she couldn't do anything, she has to take the place of her Dad. In this match, her cousins Tee and Jade are with her, even Kirk who is her childhood friend and captain Nam who is her best friend and Nita who has been a big part of her life. They were the ones Sam trusted the most.

This is just the beginning of Sam's fight, especially since the old bad deeds are coming back to their town. The riots start again, even innocent citizens are affected. Sam will not let the honor of the Takahashi family be destroyed. The honor of her Dad and the honor of their family will continue.

Sam knows that the nine powerful families are teaming up against her. They also said that she cannot handle their town because she's only a woman. But Sam will prove that she's not just an ordinary girl, she will show that she deserves to be a leader for Abundant Harvest Village.

Sam also promised herself that she would find the one who betrayed and killed her parents. Dahil kasi rito hindi na makuhang maging masaya ni Sam, palagi s'yang malungkot at seryoso mabuti na lang nand'yan ang mga kaibigan n'ya na handang samahan s'ya at pagtiisan ang ugali n'ya. Masungit kasi ito, minsan nga hindi na nila maintindihan ang pag-uugali nito. Gusto rin nito lahat ng mga iniuutos n'ya ay masusunod kaagad.

Sam is so good at fighting that everyone is afraid of her. She's not frightened in anyone. She's ready to risk her life to save the village. But others still can't stop admiring her despite of her personality because of her beauty, especially her fashion in the clothes she wears.

She doesn't like colorful clothes, she only likes white, gray and black. Her eyes are also very beautiful that if you look at it, they are really attractive because they are big and round, but when they look at you, no one can handle the gaze because they are hypnotizing to look at. Her nose was just too pointed to suit her beautiful face. Her body shape is beautiful and very sexy, her skin is also smooth and white, that's why anyone is attracted to her eventhough she's scary.

" Sam... Sam, " marahang tapik ni Capt. Nam kay Sam dahil nakatulog na kasi ito sa byahe dahil na rin siguro sa sobrang pagod n'ya.

Papunta sila kay Rex, isa ito sa miyembro ng Nakahara Mamoru family ngunit ang talagang pakay nila ay si Andrew ang anak ng mag-asawag Nakahara Mamoru. Siya kasi ang ugat ng walang awang pagpatay sa isang magsasaka at basta na lamang itinapon sa dagat.

Gagamitin lang nila si Rex upang mahuli nila si Andrew, gagawin nila itong pain.

" Ito na ba 'yong apartment? " tanong ni Sam kay Capt. Nam

" Oo, ito na nga, " sagot ni Capt. Nam.

" Let's go. "

Binaybay nilang tatlo ang ika-pitong palapag dahil dito nakatira si Rex. Hindi naman sila nahirapan na hanapin ito dahil kompleto ang impormasyon ang nalakap ni Kirk, maging ang password ng apartment nito ay alam din nila.

" Buksan mo na, " utos ni Sam na kaagad namang sinunod ni Kirk.

Mabilis silang pumasok sa loob, napakarumi ng paligid. Halatang hindi ito naglilinis, tambak ang hugasin sa lababo at sobrang alikabok na ng paligid. Pinagpag ni Sam ang maalikabok na sofa pagkatapos ay umupo s'ya rito at sumandal na naka-cross legs habang pinagmamasdan ang buong paligid. Hindi n'ya tuloy mapigilan na hindi mapangiwi, ayaw pa naman n'ya sa madumi at mabaho.

" Nandyan ba s'ya? "

" Nasa kwarto n'ya Boss, natutulog, " sagot ni Kirk.

Hindi na nagsalita si Sam, sumenyas lang s'ya gamit ang kamay n'ya na iniutos na ilabas nila si Rex sa kwarto nito. Mabilis namang sumunod sina Kirk at Capt. Nam.
