I Am Undying

'Am I right about what I was thinking about? Why would Eli- Master Elihim leave and not guide my thoughts? What if my conclusion was wrong and there's deeper meaning about it?', Rin laid back as he relax. His appearance was normal because of the absorption of this natural energy according to Master Elihim, 'This all still doesn't feel real but when I think about what would happen in the future… , He looked at his palpitating heart and pat it. 'I could only get excited.'

Rin was surprised that in that day, his life turned a 180° turn.

He smiled and laughed in a monotonous tone, "Hahaha, there is a chance that this is a dream, right?"

With no watch or phone to keep him updated on time, he didn't know when the next bus will arrive.

"I want to go home, take a bath, organize the groceries, cook, eat, and then have a good sleep…", Rin's head gave up and he fell flat on the bench.

…..

Memories were flashing through Rin's mind while asleep. He remembered how he was bullied, how he was humiliated while he can not do anything about it.

When Rin opened his eyes, he was in an unknown space where everywhere he look were flashing different stages of his life, starting from when he was born.

Rin was quiet and stayed still while he recollect his life. It is anything but refreshing. His life had been really terrible.

When the stage of life were coming to an end, it showed his current experiences. He could not help but shiver and laugh on remembering it. Finally, it showed his friend and the next day where he relaxed himself only to find another trouble.

When that flashed by he was surprised and subconsciously covered his crotch.

"I hope you're still working.", his face was all red.

When Elihim showed up, the flashing slowed down and all what Elihim said reverberated in the space.

Rin sighed, after recollecting his life, he couldn't contain himself.

"After all that, I'm finally able to change… Hahaha, I thought that it was hopeless to the point that I treasured death the most.", he laughed at himself.

He didn't noticed but after the flashes finished it faded into darkness. Rin felt familiar to this, he had been there in a dream once… after his mother died.

Before, the space itself shattered, releasing flaring heat that almost became a cause of Rin's mind breakdown. He knew that Nathan was the one to blame for that.

It was now back to complete darkness. The only bulb before dimmed out. He looked around at this lonely space. There, he saw were two fireflies-like. One was much bigger than the other.

It was very strange. He felt comfort to the bigger light and gratefulness to the smaller one. Even though it is still dark in that space, he still have lights to follow.

Rin didn't realize but there is a third light in that lone dark space. His own light. He can rely on himself now.

"Even if there is worse to come. I am not afraid anymore!", Rin yelled excitedly.

After he yelled, the space cracked in front of him. It made a hole made of light, a voice can be heard within it: "Sir, sir, wake up.", a voice from an old one.

Rin was relieved to find that it's not going to be another torture for him to go out of this place. He stepped on it, hoping it to be a way out of the "dream" world.

He opened his eyes to find an old man weakly patting him on his shoulder.

"Oh, finally awake. Do you know how many times I called you? Haha, are you waiting for a bus?", An old man smiled at him.

"Uh hello? Ah yes", Rin stood up slowly, he just realized why he was woken up and felt embarrassed about it, "Thank you for waking me up, uncle." He saw that a bus was waiting for him ahead.

"Ahaha, thank god my actions helped. I'm already ready to apologize if you intentionally sleep and I woke you up.", the old man swipe a non-existent sweat.

"Thank you again." Rin bowed slightly.

"Okay, okay, go now, the bus has been waiting for you."

Rin bowed again before turning and going inside the bus. The bus was open-windowed so its pretty cool. Rin chose to seat at the farthest back.

He place his arm on the window and supported his leaning head on the cheeks by his fist, making him comfortable.

Rin watched as the street lights past behind in deep thoughts…

After a while, the bus stopped. Rin reached his destination and in a just a few minutes of walking without stopping by, Rin reached his home.

He unlocked the front door but then noticed something, déjà vu? He heard the telephone ringing inside the dark living room.

Rin felt nothing as if a ghost wouldn't scare him but he still stayed cautious. It is not bad to do so because of what was happening lately, it is pretty sensible to that.

He turned on the lights and went to the ringing phone. He felt an uneasiness as he picked the phone only to hear: "Hello? Is this the Gotha's residence? I'm here to speak with Rin.", Rin's remaining fatigue flew away, his heart lose weight all of the sudden. His lips formed a smile when he heard that cold voice.
