Chap 8

I feel relief as I see him running towards me.

" here's your ice cream,"

" what took you so long?"

" there are a lot of buyers "

"oh yeah, anyway thanks for this, I miss ice cream so much "

" anytime and anywhere you can eat ice cream "

" I think this is the last"

" you're being pessimistic again"

" I'm sorry, that became my habit "

I miss eating ice cream, the last time I ate ice cream was so yesterday.

I like how sweetness and coldness combine as one. No wonder why people love to eat ice cream

Every lick in my ice cream the coldness and sweetness are fighting in my tongue however it tastes good

Suddenly I feel something wet in my face. At first It is just a single drop of water until such time the number of droplets increases.

I feel amazed and disappointed at the same time.

After that incident this is the first time that i have encounter the rain

I want to feel every droplet that fall on my body. I just want to feel how cold and slippery the water is.

But it can't be, I can't stay any longer under the rain, I found myself inside the car.

Now I'm watching the precipitation of water, observing how every droplets fall from the sky and make a ranging sound.

From a far I see the kids under a shed, I feel sad for them, they can't play anymore because it's raining

" we need to go " he said.

I just nod as an answer, and then he starts the engine.

The park is fading away until I can't visualize it anymore.

I'm going to miss that place.

" the weather is so unpredictable "he said

" it is because of the wrongdoing of mankind" I said.

" you're right"

" do we really need to go back? "

I'm hoping that he will say " why will we go back? You want to stay longer here right?" But Sometimes your expectation won't happen.

" yes, we need to"

" sometimes I don't want to be happy"

" why? "

Chap 8.1

"because sadness will follow"

" that's life, positive and negative go together"

" for what? To balance life?"

"no, to make you a better one"

"you know what, life is unfair, some are lucky while others are not, just like me, I have great family, friends and many more. I have all the things a human want to have except for one and that is TIME, I don't have time, I only have limited one, unfair right? I'm okay with my life but it seems like that's not how it goes "

" who said you have limited time? "

" me, I can feel it and I know it "

" if you'll continue to think that way then you'll surely have limited time"

" I'm stating a fact"

" no, it's your conclusion not a fact"

I don't know what to response so I remain Muffled.

After that conversation, we both zip our mouth.

we linger to be soundlessness until he demolishes the serenity between us.

" there was a boy, a boy that is lucky in terms with clothes, foods and things except for one and that is the time of his parents, the time of his parents cost like a diamond, it is too expensive that even him can't have it, every time he see a happy family he always feel sad and alone, he envy those kind of families, since he was a kid he only have one wish and that is to be with his parents for just a single day, wherein they can be together and have a quality time as a family, or be with them without doing something, their presence is enough for him but many birthdays have pass but his wish remain as a wish "

" are you saying that to me to make me feel better? "

" No, I'm telling you this story to remind you that you're not alone in this world, I want you to know that you're not the only one having a problem. "

" thank you for reminding me, but its way different in my situation"

" you have parents and even have a little brother right?"

" yes why?"

" and how's the feeling in having them in your life? "

" seriously? You want me to answer that?"

" yes "

" they are my lucky charm and energy"

8.2

" Look how lucky you are, even how unfair the life is, you still have something that makes you lucky "

" yeah you're right but correction I'm not THAT lucky "

" you're not that lucky? You should be thankful why? Because you'll be able to witness the world with your naked eye unlike the blinds, and you were given another day for you to live , unlike those people who want to stay in this world ,but unfortunately they were murdered"

" I thought doctors usually talks about medicines, diseases, and any other hospital terms but with you? You're different, it feels like I'm talking to someone else, someone who's too far from his profession "

He slightly laughs and said:

" we're here"
