Assistant Yang brought the car to a smooth stop and Ryu alighted from the car.Turning around he then held out his hand for Alicia.As they moved in,Neil also got off from his car and joined them.The moment the door opened a loud shout of "Happy Birthday"reverbated through the house. Amongst colorful balloons stood a little boy holding up a banner of 'Happy Birthday Father!!'.All along the walls stood the few employees that were entrusted with Ru's care.They also had been handed various party poppers and there was confetti falling everywhere.Ryu gave a soft smile and opened his mouth to thank everyone when he got another surprise.Coming from the next door carrying a dinosaur cake was none other than his youngest brother Ah Hai!
With a gentle laugh at the funny dinosaur cake,Ryu saw his brother set down the cake and catch him in a bear hug.Though the other three brothers were by no means skinny,Ah Hai was taller and broader than all.His military style hair cut made him look very different from his brothers who all had lush locks.After greeting his brother,Ryu wound a hand around Alicia's waist and pulled her forward.
"Missus,this is my youngest brother Ah Hai.He is currently serving our country but let me tell you,he is a spoilt brat.I don't know how he is adjusting in the military."
"Ah Hai,this is your sister in law Alicia. You have come at the best time.We just got married today.Now we can have a full family celebration."
The smiling face of Ah Hai turned reserved as he turned and greeted his sister in law."Congratulations,dear sister in law.It was nice meeting you.Please take care of me in the future."

Though his mouth said the right words,his eyes seemed to speak differently.She could see the doubt and suspicion in his eyes.Before Alicia could reply,Ru who was tired of being ignored by his father called out in a loud voice,"Father!!"
Laughing at his son's impatience, Ryu laughed and went to his son receive his greetings.
On the other hand Alicia smiled and said"Happy to meet you, Ah Hai. I look forward to getting to know you more."
With a complicated expression Ah Hai said,"Don't be too happy...I am not sure if I like you for my brother.You are too beautiful on the outside to be the same on the inside.If you hurt my brother,beware that I can kill you within a second."
With a small smile, Alicia smiled,"Ah Hai,I am not scared of scrutiny.As long as you are willing to get know me without previous judgements and prejudices,I don't mind you being reserved.But please remember,regardless of anything,I don't appreciate being threatened.So next time please do not use threats because I can do the same."
With her piece said,Alicia joined Ryu as he opened Ru's present.She wanted to see Ryu's reaction when he saw the gift.He opened the box to a luxurious looking tie.It had been tied into a knot so that only the top few plain gold inches were visible.Ru was jumping up and down and asking Ryu if he liked it...but Ryu was disappointed a bit...a tie was an easy gift..wasn't it?No need to put much thought into it..but getting over his disappointment he smiled and said,"Yes it is beautiful.I am going to wear it now for this celebration.Thank you baby."With that he pulled out the tie from it's packaging with the intention of wearing it and quickly got over his disappointment...His tie had green and blue dinosaurs, some were playing ball and some were dancing with hula hoops...His Ru had put too much thought into the gift...And he was going to have to wear this!Thankfully,they were staying home or else his image would have been irreparably damaged...

Still feeling great after seeing the design,Ryu slipped it around his neck and showed it to Ru who happily jumped and jumped into his father's arms.With a contended smile,he said,"Mother,you give your present too now!"

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!
