Lifeline - A New Beginning

Un.

*At a conference room*
*Many flashing lights*
*Indistinct chatters*

Today, ladies and gentlemen. Today will be a good day for all of us, to each and everyone of us!!

*People clapping*

My fellow friends and Family. Without your help and continuous assistance, I would never reach where I am today. As the new owner of the LD-S (Latter-Day Silvery), I would do everything in my power and abilities for our business to spread all over the world!

*People cheering and clapping*

*Door closes*
*In his room*
*Changing clothes*

My name is Leon, Leon Transkvic. At the age of 16 I was given a great privilege of being the head of LDS, giving me the opportunity to lead the business to the world. Such privilege indeed, but yet a great burden to carry.

*Faces the mirror*

My Father, the previous owner of the business was a great man, a kind of man where he puts all his efforts into his work, family and everything else.

But me? I am a nobody, a son of a prestigious somebody.

*Blinks eyes*
*Everything around turned dim*

In 2 years time our business plummeted. I never did have the skills and talent to lead such a business, world wide? You've got to be joking. I didn't deserve such prestige in life, to be exact? I never wanted it anyway.

*Opens a bottle of wine*
*Gets out of the room

"Good morning Mr. Transkvic."

This is my maid, she's been taking care of me every since I was a child.

"Good day to you too."

I sat down on my chair..

"Mr. Transkvic, I think should I be receiving my pay?"

But I did not even try to reply back to her words. All I heard after a while was footsteps with luggages going outside the front door of my penthouse.

"Goodbye Mr. Transkvic"

And there I was, finally alone. Earlier in my life, I've always wanted to get away from all of this. Spend my life just by myself and no others, but that life I have now. I have no one, and I have nothing left but a lease with a note taped on my front door "For demolition".

I think I should be happy right now since I already have the life where I'm alone. Just myself and no others, and instead of a smile of a happy young man breaking on my face, it was a smile of a broken young man that broke out of my face.

And at the age of 18, I got nothing left to lose but my life. And I decided to end it, went to a bridge at night so that no one can even see me. Took some breaths while looking up the sky

"How could this happen?"

"What did I ever do to deserve this?"

Me remeniscing about my life am I right? Why bother? I just have to end it that's all.

"God are you there?"

Oh no, don't start this. I am not a God person anyway.

"WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU FOR YOU TO PUNISH MY LIKE THIS?!"

"WHAT THE HELL DID I DO?!"

I rambled and rambled on to my father, life, desires, everything. And tears finally ran down on my face.

"It figures."

I let go from the sides of the bridge but barely at the edge.

"You will never hear my cries, you probably don't even exist."
