Way of Life (Ch 2 - Love and Beaten)

‘Poor him, Schlitter.’ Said a boy in a black jacket.

Another boy stood near him was crying for the tombstone in front of them. ‘Yeah Rawn, He was so kind to me. Although I only met him twice, but I know that he died without knowing what he lived for. I felt sorry for him. But because of him, I met you and I knew that I lived to fill my emptiness. There’s still a long way to do.’

‘It happened a lot of times. You just don’t realize it. People lived for nothing. They don’t know what they are doing. They just know how to live comfortable. When I was a little kid, people hated me and I didn’t have many friends. But loneliness is not everything. Because of that, He gave me that power to see… to see something that people cannot see. They taught me a lot of things since I was a little. The way of life, the way of thinking and also the way to be hated.’

Schlitter stood up and saw the sky, which is already full of stars. ‘Yeah, it’s lucky to be like you. In my case last year with that girl, I wouldn’t feel that way.’

‘That girl… I see that not only her, but you also had a pride. You don’t even dare to tell her the truth. You still kept something on her don’t you? J

After heard that, Schlitter walked away. No words exited form his tongue and lips. He was just thinking a lot and felt sorry for the poor cab driver.

Rawn walked approach Schlitter, and in the car Schlitter cry again. ‘I remembered that the first time I met him I said glad to him because he was old enough to work. But then after I knew him more, I find the truth that the way of my first impression was wrong.’

‘Schlitter, the more you know someone the more you will understand his heart. You will find good and bad in his heart. You can also find painful and joy in his heart. Pray everyday is helpful though, but it has to be balanced. Feel the experience of this world. There are a lot of experiences that you haven’t had before. By the way, he is happy in his new place. Although he hasn’t found the answer of his life, but finally he found something that human won’t ever understand. I know because ‘THEY’ told me so. J

Although Schlitter adore Rawn so much, but he still didn’t understand about the way of Rawn’s thinking. He did really want to find out why Rawn still listened to ‘THEIR’ words while he also believed in God.

‘I know what you are thinking Schlitter, hehehehhehe!’

‘Hey, don’t try to read my mind man! You could be wrong, you know!’ yelled Schlitter surprised.

In the car Rawn closed his eyes then he slept.

‘Rawn, come on! Weak up, man! If you know what I was thinking then answer it, please!’

‘Hehehehehehehe, that’s who you are! Full of questions, afraid to ask. How can you be mature if you are afraid to ask about something?’

Schlitter stop the car at the edge and walk outside. He sat down on a big rock feeling the wind coming through him. ‘You are right! But you should have known why I became like this. If I saw something and curious about that I will try to find the answer and if I cannot find it by myself I will ask to the right person. But what have I done was really a big mistake.’

‘You are talking about that girl, aren’t you? I knew it and I think she should have known your feeling too. Just keep it calm okay!’

‘I was asking her before and he refused me. I knew it because I have that feeling. But next she was very closed to me. I really happy, but why she did that. I just didn’t understand till now.’

‘Yeah I knew it. There are just 2 possibilities, one is love and the other is debt. Maybe there’s another thing except that, but I don’t know either.’ Said Rawn

‘Hehehehehe, you are right Rawn. Love is impossible because she was refused me, and the second one is more acceptable. Bet even though because of debt, I don’t want her to be like that. People have their own life and I wanted her to have her own life too. Haven’t you think that if I who was had that debt and forced to go out with you Rawn, for example. I think I would feel very hard to accept that. I would be having no life.’

Rawn took a cigar from his pocket and started smoking. ‘So that’s your true feeling to me then… You just follow me because I help you with your problems? But that’s okay for me Schlitter, you don’t have to feel like that. I won’t tie you up. I knew that you would be leaving soon. It’s just a matter of time until we meet again. If you just stick around with me who has no life, you will be very disappointed.’
