CHAPTER 10 - The old and fat lady

Jenrya's POV

I was looking in all directions searching for someone I knew but there's only the old and fat lady, comfortably sat on the bench of the park.

"Why don't you believe? You already thought about it, didn't you?" she said.

"Sorry, but do I know you?" I asked looking at the woman fearfully.

"No and I don't know you either but I know your friend."

"Which friend?" I asked looking at her suspiciously.

"The red-haired girl- the one who has violet eyes."

"Ruki?"

"Yeah. Why don't you sit down? I don't bite." She said and laughed softly.

"How do you know my name?"

She didn't answer my question, she just pointed at a free space on the bench she was on. I sat down carefully beside her.

"So, boy - I know you have been looking for reasons. Why did you do that? Can't you see that she isn't totally recovered? Stop doing this. You suffer and she suffers. And your family is suffering too. Your little sister came to me saying that you were getting mad, what I don't doubt- well, she said you don't work and you don't have girlfriends just because you're waiting for the girl."

I didn't answer. The woman took my hands and closed her eyes.

"Breathe boy! Feel the air of the night."

We kept in silence for what seemed to be an eternity. When she finally spoke her voice was barely audible.

"Probably you know that people who kill theirselves have something like- umm how would I say this? A punishment. They have a punishment, because we don't have the right to take off our lives, the only one who has this power is the Supreme Being. If you keep listening to her you will make her suffer more and more."

"But she has something important to tell me." I said.

"Yes, she really does. You won't discover why she killed herself now. Stop boy. One day you will meet her again."

"I can't believe I traveled and I gave so much attention to her death for nothing." I mumbled.

"This is isn't 'nothing'. It will make you grow up spiritually and physically."

"I want to meet her again." I shouted.

"Shh- I don't want everybody looking at us. Go away boy, go away now."

"Will we meet again?" I asked suddenly.

"Who? Us? Of course not!"

"No, who said I want to meet you again? I meant if I'm gonna meet Ruki again."

"Yes, but just in another reincarnation." She said and went away not looking back and leaving me alone with my weird thoughts.

I screamed to her:

"Why did she kill herself?"

"Because she knew that love wouldn't work out in this life for both of you. All that stuff of 'my life is a crap and blah blah blah' was just kinda 'scapegoat', something to not tell her true feelings."

"Aha- you told me all I wanted to know throughout this time. Thanks lady." I said with a triumphant tone.

"Oh, crap." She said and kept walking.

I got up and started to walk from the park. For minutes I didn't know where I was heading to, but like an instinct my feet took me back to home.

When I got in the flat my brother was already waiting for me in the living room.

"So bro, how was your date? She was wonderful, wasn't she? When are you going to get married?" he asked and laughed.

I gave him an ironic smile and went to my room.

'It doesn't matter if I have to wait till I get to my eighties, but I will find you again Ruki. Oh yeah, I will.' I promised to myself and kinda promised to her too, but I had to keep up with my social life.

People change. She changed. Why wouldn't I change too?
