Flynn's life was boring. He have no someone in his life. He only cares about feeding his dog. Until he met Assha. He felt the things he had never felt before. Not until Mrs. Westly the landlord of his apartment found dead, and not just one...he also...
"Mr. Flynn? May I ask why did you chose to become a police?"
I glanced at the my grandson beside me and looked at the flowers being blown away by the wind. The birds were chirping around me.
The skies were blue and I could smell the fragrance of the flowers around me. The fresh wind that calms me down makes my existence even more vibrant.
"What makes you doubt that, son?" I utter.
"I don't know, I just wanted to know if being police makes you a hero."
I smiled and tapped his head. "Just always stand the truth, then everything will follow. But sometimes, despite the truth that you were fighting for, there's always a person who will remain fooled which will prevent you from reaching justice."
"Life is full of tragedy, isn't it, Grandpa?"
I chuckled. "That's why Whether you're a police or not, just be smart at what you were believing for, and just by that, you can help anyone."
Then I walked away holding my cane to guide me. My bones were already fragile and I can hardly walk.
Decades have passed since Assha died. I still can remember vividly how she died.
I tried to justify her death but the law just threw it away and didn't give some attention to Assha's case. They just ignored her unjustified case like a piece of garbage.
Ashna killed herself before the police got her.
And now that I'm retired and already eighty years old, I now understood how important my work is;
My job is not just about solving a crime, it is about solving the life of a people, asking for someone to help them when they hide in darkness.
Now, may I ask,
Are you the person who fooled or the person who will remains smart despite the deception of the world?
