Gogo says,
"Rehan, I barely survived today. If the shadow hunter hadn't come to save me, I would have died today. What happened, rehan? Are you starting to think again? Are you considering becoming a shadow hunter too?"
( rehan didn't answer the question.)
Gogo says,"
What happened, rehan? Say something. I've never seen you think so much before."
Rehan says,
"I'm thinking of starting a job. Well, Yohan, do I really look that old to you? I just can't figure out what kind of job I should do."
Gogo says,
"It's because of your hair and the fact that you don't shave your beard that you look older."
Rehan says,
"I don't like cutting my hair and beard. It annoys me. So, Gogo, I'll see you again tomorrow. We'll discuss what kind of job I can do then."
gogo says,
Then ok see you tomorrow. It is already evening. And don't go to a strange place again.
Rehan says,
Ok I won't go.
(With that, Gogo went home, and Yohan began walking towards his house.)
( rehan started thinking to himself)
Grandpa will be very angry with me if he finds out about this incident. I will somehow go to my room so grandpa won't know anything about me.
( rehan went to the back of the house and entered his room through the stairs.)
(As soon as rehan entered the room, his grandpa shouted, "Where have you been all this time, Yohan?")
Rehan says,
"I was just hanging around nearby."
Grandpa says,
Are you really telling the truth.
Rehan says,
Yes I am telling the truth.
grandpa says,
Ok fine then. Wash your hands and face quickly and come down to eat.
( rehan thinks why grandpa didn't tell me anything today.)
(Then rehan washed his hands and sat down to eat with grandpa.)
( rehan was just looking at grandpa while eating and wondering why grandpa didn't say anything to me today.)
(After finishing the meal)
(While Grandpa was washing the dishes, Yohan asked.)
Why didn't you tell me anything grandpa today?
(Grandpa did not answer the question.)
(grandpa remains silent)
"Then Grandpa says"
"Do you know why I never got married? Because I didn’t like children. I never talked to children before. But when I first saw you on the street, sitting in a small corner, without a smile on your face, your eyes made me remember my past. It seemed like you had lost everything in life. Seeing you, it felt like you had no hope left to live."
Rehan says,
that's when you came to me. And said What happened to you? Why are you sitting like that? Well if you don't tell me I'm out of here.
Grandpa says,
"When I was about to leave, you grabbed my shirt and asked me to take you with me. Even when I brought you along, you didn’t say a word to me. You were always silent. When I gave you food, you didn’t eat properly."
"At that moment, rehan thinks to himself..."
"From then on, you kept doing silly things to make me laugh. I remember when you first brought me home. You gave me stale canned food, and you ate the same stale canned food yourself. When I threw the canned food away, you told me, 'Eat if you want, or don’t eat .' Then you ate my canned food as well and went to sleep. I spent the whole night crying, thinking about my mother. When I woke up, you were cooking for me. And when you gave me the food, I saw that you had burned it. But when you said that to me..."
( grandpa says )
Canned food was stale, lucky you didn't eat, otherwise your stomach would be upset too.
(grandpa had stomach upset due to eating canned food)
When I ate that food, tears started coming out of my eyes automatically. Since then, you’ve been taking me out every day. You even enrolled me in school.
Grandpa says,
"What happened, Yohan? You kept thinking to yourself..."
Rehan says,
nothing.
( Grandpa thinks to himself )
When I let you eat that burnt food. When you were eating. The first time I saw a smile on your face.
Rehan says,
why didn't you tell me.
Grandpa says,
What did I say again?
Rehan says,
today I am entering home late. Why didn't you tell me anything?
(Grandpa again didn't answer the question. He looked at me for a while and went to sleep.)
( rehan then goes to his room. And lies down and thinks.)
Today, Gogo was on the verge of dying for me. I couldn’t do anything to save him. And that girl insulted me, saying that I am incapable of doing any job.
( rehan then fell asleep)
(next day)
( rehan wakes up before alarm clock)
( rehan went to the window and looked at the sky and said
I have a lot of work to do today.
(After that, Yohan quickly washed his hands and face. And came to the dining hall for breakfast.)
Grandpa says,
"What's up today, Yohan? You seem very excited."
Rehan says,t
oday I will try to find a job.
Grand says,
well then what kind of job will you do.
Rehan says,
let's see what kind of job can be done.
"Rehan had breakfast and then went outside."
grandpa says,
come home before night. don't be late.
Rehan says,ok i will come soon.
(Then Yohan went to city.)
