SHORT STORY

Chapter 2

Regret

Have you ever felt your world destroyed instantly? You did not take anything that you want. Your life was always like a shadow by your darkness at past. Imagine! Your dad died in front of your eyes, and then you did not forgive his mistake. My life was full of grudge. No more tender and sincere feelings I have ever felt. All I wanted right now, I have to find someone who killed my dad that was the only way I would not regret it again.

I shouted myself up after the incident. My mom was very worried about me and people around me doing the same thing like her. She visited me once a week to see and take care of me, Daniel who was my friend always come every day to make sure my condition, He was a very trusted friend. But I feel like lost direction to move on. I wanted to find someone who ran into my dad, but I could not bear to blame myself for everything that happened. My dad gave me a letter when he breathed his last.

“Don’t read his letter again. No more!” he sit in front of me. I was hiding her letter and trying smile to him. And take her breakfast.

            “I don’t read his letter... I just read a postcard from my mom” I lied.

“You shouldn’t lie to me... I know who you are! It doesn’t make a sense that you are not forgiving yourself and thinking about your dad death. You should move on and find that bastard ones!” Daniel was a little annoyed and took the letter I hid behind the pillow.

“Uhmm… your meal so good… you should make it for me every day!!!” I laughed and ate it.

“Don’t distract what we discussed about” He punched my cheek.

“Let’s go outside. I have a plan to find that bastard ones” I shocked, and He played his key’s car.

I agreed with him, then went out of the apartment and go somewhere that I did not know yet, wait! I mean I did not know, Daniel will take me wherever I went. When I wanted to get into the car, I see Evan with his girlfriend wanted to enter the lift apartment. Glenn suddenly told me to get in the car immediately. And on our way he just stayed silent and focused on driving the car. I know he did not want to answer a lot of questions I had been wanting to ask. Why Evan was there? What was this? What happened after so many centuries I did not get out of the room? For so many centuries? It might be said that way. But I will keep it. And then I passed some tall trees, the weather was very nice and fresh. I really enjoyed this trip.

“Please, calm down... We will meet that guy” He said.

“Who? Is he someone who killed my dad “I was replied. And he frowned his head.

“We’ll see. Okay?” He opened his car, He smiled.

It really confused me. how could  Daniel found the culprit who hit my father, it was impossible especially since I confined myself in the room he was always busy taking care of my needed. My head was dizzy thinking about it, now I just have to wait him to answer from all my questions.

A few minutes later I arrived at a very quiet town there wasn’t a citizen that will doing something, it was still afternoon. Was it possible on afternoon they have stopped their activities? I walked into that town and tried to find what we was looking for.

            “I guess there is no one will welcoming that we here...”I said

“As I know… you always be like that…you are always seeing the situation without understanding what was in there...” He said and walked into that town.

“I just like gray… I can’t see anything… not anymore” I stopped following him, I stared his back and he was walking over me and touch my cheeks.

“I know what you feel… I know you tough! Just following me right now okay? I’ll stay you safe.” He said.

He was holding my hand and going to a place that I never knew where was there, I was like emptied body and my soul was gone. I didn’t know what I should do since it happened. My lover was gone, you know he was trying to kill me slowly and also my dearest father was regretted by me. All the things that happened surely because of me, I just like a shit.

The clouds was mostly going darkness, there was no lamp and no one people around us. I used a flashlight to become a light of our path. I was not scared here, I was enjoying this situation maybe I felt so reasonable to be here, it was my home.

“I bring you here because I know what you did… what you was felt… I have a reason to bring you here it because I want to be like you… living in a darkness world. And I came here to help you… you should forget the man who killed your father… forget about your crush who never care about you, probably he killed you slowly.” He hugged me. He cried and his body shake. He felt what I felt. He knew what I knew. He never let me stand alone. He tried to safe me from fucking world in outside.
