Part 1 – Night visitor

The winds howled, and heavy rain pounded my windows. My roof creaked, and seemed as if it’s going to fly off any moment. I was busy looking for pails to put under all the leaking places, when the doorbell rang.

“Ding dong.”
“On the waaaaay…” I yelled over the roaring thunder and pattering rain.
The door opened to a visitor claded in knee length rain coat, wide brimmed hat and boots. One gloved hand was holding the coat together at the neck area, while another carried a waterproof briefcase. The face was masked in a scarf covering the nose and mouth. In the darkness, I can only make out the silhouette of dark rimmed glasses. I quickly let the visitor in, as it is rude to let anyone standing in the rain, be it an assassin or not. Furthermore, I’m confident of taking care of unwanted guests.

As the night visitor took down the hat, and unwound the scarf, I let out a cry of surprise.
“Countess Yvonne ! What are you doing here? Arent you supposed to be busy studying for your internship as a cardiac surgeon? And presenting all over the world?” I exclaimed.
Brushing her shoulder length hair, she smiled at me with her pink lips, and her eyes behind the black rimmed glasses twinkled with friendliness. Man, she looked exactly the same 18 years ago when I first met her at the martial arts training ground. Maybe she’s sucking and bathing on virgin boys blood in Translyvannia. And I sneezed.
“Slap !” she gave me a flying slapping kick to the face, and I staggered back a few steps. “Cacat !” she jested. “What dirty thoughts are you thinking again till you sneezed? Don’t think I don’t know your bad habits, sneezing during lewd thoughts ! And my intuition told me that you’ve been neglecting your kung fu practices while you surf the countless pornsites !” She feigned anger, and her big smile gave her away.
“Oh..sorry…was too surprised..”I lied a bit.”And the weather’s so cold ! Oh, so heartless of me, come, take a seat, I’ll make you some hot drink.” I quickly recovered, and hang up her coat.

“So, you haven’t told me what brought you here..” I asked again as I pass her the hot Olim, which she’s been taking that makes her strong and healthy, and which is my favourite drink too.
“Yaaaa….I wouldn’t be here if not for Sifu.” She said as she handed me her handphone.
“Sifu? How is he?” and I looked at her handphone.
