A Story To Remember

Mr Fortune-Teller

"Show me your hand '' the man asked ,it was so awkward but somehow she gave him her shaking hand while her heart was about to jump out from its place ..but he kept checking it carefully and staring at it for a few seconds . So she felt relaxed and asked and asked him with a serious tone :
"When you look at me who is the girl you see ? who is the monster deep inside of me ?? "
"your way through the dark is so long ,but don't be afraid cause you won't be alone ,your fate is so harsh and what's waiting for you is not clear at all ,I can't see it but behind the crimson door there is the light that you are waiting for ,to make your broken soul shine but it won't take long to fade away and be gone... "
Jina felt scared from the man's words but relaxed at the same time..
" What's your name sweet girl ? "
" I..I'm ...I'm Jina..Mr fortune teller "
" AHAHA ..you are smart ,but don't call me like that ,you can call me Austin ..as you can go with me also I can take you home "
" hmm...no ,I'm ok Mr Austin " (with a sad look she looked away to the ground )
"You don't have a home ?! do you !!"
but the young girl didn't say a word, so he suggested that she goes with him to pass the night in his house for it's not safe to stay in the street in such weather ..Jina was so tired and starving so she had no choice but to accept ...

My name is Jina Chung ,I would be dead ,running and laughing searching for my parents in the paradise ,I would be dead ..just dead in the middle of the street where no one cares to pick my wet frozen body and cry in my funeral but thanks to a stranger I'm alive now with a good health ,life ,and an astronomy diploma ,since I lived with a fortune teller I was curious of what's behind the shining stars in the sky ,what could the destiny hide ,and where my parents are ..so reading old historical books about the universe ,about the existence ,death and life ,the after death ,the galaxy and the stars ..was all what I was interested in .
Mr Austin taught me many things but the day when I asked him about the black magic his face expressions changed all of a sudden and refused to teach me that dark type of magic ,saying that I should stay away from such stuff .
Mr Austin treated me like a daughter ,he took care of me ..he actually knew that I have no place to go on on that rainy day that's why he took me with him and since then I lived under his wings until I got my own ones ,he was my shelter ,he gave me the love and warmth which my uncle couldn't give to me .
He was the last only thing that I have by my side and just everything in my life ,he offered me a new beginning and he gave me my freedom ,so I was free to do what I want but I'm so thankful to him so I didn't mind to tell him everything and talk with him whenever I feel upset ,so I never hide anything from him ,he was like the blank diary pages so how can I not feel free to write down what I feel ..it sounds weird but when I think about it I find out that I know nothing about him ..his life ,his past ,why he is alone ! ,didn't he get married ! ,he was so calm and mysterious ,he never told me about his path and I never asked ,so being with him made everything seems like it's all about me and he is nothing but a chapter in a long dark book ..but I never complained about his silence ,I accepted his unsaid words and respected his choice .
