Apathetic

Ch. 5

Sitting on the bean bag with his small legs underneath him as he has to listen to another yet his follower's stories that never got his interests.

It is hard for him to not yawn in from of his weeping follower.

Another boring day from yet another follower.

Nothing new about that.

Usually, he just listens to them as he's pretending to care then gives them advices at the end but this time he barely hears him nor his story. He honestly doesn't want to do this: he wants to go out and move around and have fun instead being cooped up in his chamber all day, dealing with his follower's sob stories. Never he thought he consider outdoors to be a daily activity for him that he desires to go, but he can't due to the fact his parents forbid him so. He has a active bone in his body that he needs to release. He doesn't want to sit still all day. He wants to explore. Especially with Kotoha. He knows he has 3 more hours left before everyone sleeps, he just has needs to wait little more. He sighs and starts to fidgeting his fingers underneath his black cloak, feeling his small body to be moving side ways a bit. He needs to get up and walk before his tension increases. He then suddenly remembers.

"Oh man today is our anniversary and I haven't even got her a simple gift....how am I gonna get her gift in short amount of time!"

"Tell me what should I do my lord?"

Douma has been brought out from his mind. He recollected himself and proceeded of what is going on or what is he talking about. He look at his fellow member who is all in knees with their body on the ground. It has seems he had shed tears a lot since he come here.

"Well..."

That's all he could say. He didn't listened to his entire story since Douma couldn't concentrate from the lack of outdoors and his no-gift problem. He has to quickly come up with something to make it seems like he understood what is happening with his life and how he is gonna help him. He then cleared his throat.

"If you think you are realizing how you can do it and how you are gonna make your life a little different. You need to make real changes in life, you have to make it a habit to apply action with your decision that you think it's the best. What's right for you that will bring benefits to the future? Any possible outcomes of the actions you're making? Give a think before proceeding but make sure you know what you are doing is ."

The follower's tears has stopped falling and he quickly wiped all the tears away with a rush of relief washed over him once he realized of what his master had said.

"I-I have never thought of that....I was so focusing of the 'what ifs' that I didn't even see the possibilities...thank you so much, Douma-sama you know what pure saying." He stands up form his crouching position and goes over to him then gives him a big hug.

"You really helped me!"

Douma nodded as he pat his back with a fake smile planted on his face.

"Of course I did."

Sun is going down but the sky is red orange spread across the sky. Thank goodness he is able to get out of his chamber when Hisashi was ordered to get couple of supplies for the temple and since the followers haven't come to him lately, Douma asked his parents if he could join with him. They approved. After all, this is the perfect opportunity to get something for something special tonight.

Both of them headed to the merchant area, Hisashi is keeping his close on his leader making sure he doesn't get lost in this area especially when a lot of consumers are here. Douma walked around the merchant stands to find what he needs as Hisashi is catching up to him to make sure he didn't lose him through the crowd.
