Lost Pieces

Innocent Heart

Leima was speechless. He didn't expected that the man would reply to him like that. Leima thought,"He probably have been through a lot.". The man moved closer to him. Leima sat down. "You see, sometimes in life, we need oil to lubricate our depleting parts and to remove those rusts inside you. But then, you realize the difference and think about those who also need that oil. Those who are struggling in life, pushing boundaries and pushing theirselves to the limits not knowing that theu are burning and depleting theirselves as each day pass.". Leima whispered, "Just like me. I've been searching so long to find the one who could fix me and turn me into a new one once again. Be worry free. But then, throughout my journey, people used me. I have no regrets. I've been selfless. I find joy in helping others. I didn't realize that no one, including me, is helping me.". The man looked at him and said,"I was once a human. I got into an accident one day when I was on my way home. They couldn't save my limbs because my nervous system was damaged severely. All they could do is turn me into a lab rat to test their new technology of placing human brains and hearts into robots. I was helpless. People sometimes use others for their own benefits not knowing the consequences of it to others. They feel no guilt to what they do as long as it fulfills their desires.". Leima agreed. He reminisce his past actions but he has no regrets about those. He took those as a lesson for him. He knew nothing but the greatest teacher in life is experience. The man told him, "Get some rest, I know a place where you could find someone to help you.". Leima lie down of the floor and slept. The man turned off the lights. As he went to his bed, he bid goodnight to Leima.
